Tennis haircut is extremely popular among the stronger sex due to its simplicity, practicality and versatility, so every man looking for a new style should get acquainted with it.

Who goes for a Tennis haircut

Hairstyle suits everyone because of a number of advantages:

  • fits well on both straight and thin hair, and on lush curly hair;
  • performed on short hair, but at the same time there is still a choice: to do very short or authentic;
  • its classic version does not require much care, does not lose shape under the headgear;
  • does not interfere with sports or physical labor;
  • thanks to a wide range of varieties, the t-shirt can be adjusted to any face and head shape.

 

Subtypes of hairstyles and recommendations to whom they go:

  1. Beaver. The head is cut as much as possible by the machine, except for the upper platform, which fits in the right way and has a hair length of up to 25 mm. It is recommended for men with a rigid hair structure and / or elongated face shape. Better not to cut your hair like this with rare and soft curls.
  2. Hedgehog. A variant similar to a beaver, except for longer strands on the upper platform. They reach 35 mm, allowing masking defects on the skull or scalp. Hedgehog especially goes chubby. In this case, young people with too protruding ears and a short neck should be careful.
  3. Four of a kind. Not to be confused with quads for women. Although the curls are cut with a square, in general, the length remains small and does not exceed 80 mm. The most universal option.
  4. Youth style. A male model haircut that is suitable for those who are not afraid to rivet their eyes and experiment. In fact, it is a free and longer classic version.

Classic haircut

All kinds of T-shirts went from the classic way. There are 2 versions of the origin of its name. One story says that tennis players and other athletes loved this type of head treatment with a machine for their unpretentiousness in care and wear. The other is that the matter is in the upper zone of the head, which, due to the hair length longer than in other areas, resembles a tennis court.

Be that as it may, the execution scheme of the classic version is quite simple and even a novice hairdresser can do.

  1. The haircut will turn out more even and pass easier when done on wet hair, so it is recommended to spray them with water before starting work. It will be convenient to keep the spray gun on hand throughout the entire process in case the strands dry out.
  2. The second step is to create partings that clearly divide your head into several zones - the crown of the head, temples, and the back of the head.
  3. Using the nozzle of the machine for a small length, process the temporal and occipital zones.
  4. Comb the hair of the crown area upward with a comb, then treat it with a “larger” nozzle of the machine.
  5. Using a razor or nozzle “under zero”, to correct the transitions from the neck to the scalp.

Execution technique

 

There are other popular hairstyle options.

Beaver

For convenience, in the instructions we designate nozzles for the machine from 0 to 2, depending on the length of hair left.

  1. If a man wears long hair, they need to be shortened to 5 cm for greater ease of work.
  2. Starting from the top, from the back of the head, cut the hair from the middle of the head to the temples. Nozzles 1 or 2 are suitable, depending on the wishes.
  3. To process the neck with the nulling nozzle, the area at the auricles, trim the edging of the hairstyle.
  4. Lay the top platform up, against hair growth, using a comb and hair dryer.
  5. Scissors cut the hair of the upper zone, creating the desired length and, if desired, making “torn” edges.

Youth Tennis

The method is similar to the previous one with the only condition that the hair of the upper area is cut only a little, while remaining long enough. This gives room for the imagination of the hairdresser or the owner of the hairstyle. The youth option can be laid out in a huge number of ways, which will be discussed below.

 

An important detail: uneven edges at the ears and neck create an untidy effect, so these areas can be corrected with a razor blade if the machine with the nozzle 0 could not cope.

Creative styling options

Grooming tennis for a boy, youth or adult man can be a vivid means of expressing individuality, if you experiment with different types of styling.

  1. To create a strict business image, you can always just comb your hair back.
  2. To become like a brilliant Elvis, you need to do a comb at the roots of the bangs, then comb the upper part of the hair back and fix it with more gel or varnish, which will give shine and firmness.
  3. Bangs of youth tennis can be laid on one side or create volume with a brush.
  4. An interesting option is a small mohawk, created by combing the site up from two sides.

 

Thanks to its convenience and variety, men's tennis haircuts are ideal for any lifestyle, you just need to choose your type and do not forget to update your hairstyle from time to time.
