Men's boxing haircuts: types, choices and styling nuances

The boxing haircut is one of the most popular. It gives a masculine appearance and is appropriate in any situation. Today, such a haircut is chosen not only by athletes, but also by businessmen, men of creative professions and many others. The haircut has a minimum of restrictions and a lot of variations.

Men's haircut "boxing" is, perhaps, the most versatile haircut that is said to be “for all time”. It is simple. Initially, "boxing" was worn by athletes so that the opponent could not grab the athlete by the hair, and also so that the long hair would not interfere during training.

Initially, only boxers wore such a short hair length (maximum 3-4 cm). It was sort of their dress code. Over time, the fashionable short haircut won admirers and spread among men of other professions.

Gradually "boxing" became popular among men who prefer minimalism. A haircut emphasizes facial features and is associated with masculinity. Due to its versatility, the haircut looks harmonious with all types of appearance and clothing styles.

The advantage of a haircut is the ability with its help to emphasize a masculine appearance, large regular facial features. This is possible due to the fact that she opens her face. The technique of performing a haircut implies a combination of longer hair (up to 5 cm) at the crown and a short-cropped back of the head and temples.

In addition, due to the small amount of hair and their short boxing length does not require a lot of effort and time for styling. In most cases, it is not required at all - it is enough to set the hair in the right direction immediately after washing.

By the way, the washing procedure itself can be carried out less often, which is especially important for busy men, as well as those who have a tendency to quickly grease their hair. The haircut is optimal for men with coarse, unruly hair. Due to the minimal length, they do not go as far to the sides as with many other haircuts.

However, this haircut also has its drawbacks. It is only suitable for straight hair. If you have curly or wavy hair, beautiful boxing will not work.

It is also not suitable for those who have asymmetry in facial features: "boxing" will only emphasize it, exacerbate the situation. The same can be said for the shape of the skull. In the presence of dandruff from "boxing" is also better to refuse, as the problem will become obvious and noticeable. The same applies to skin diseases in the head area, scars. It should be remembered that "Boxing" completely opens the ears, so in some cases a haircut will also not be the best choice.

Haircut is not recommended for fair-haired men. Due to the minimum length of the hair, the skin will shine through them, which will give the impression of bald patches.

Despite its simplicity, "Boxing" requires regular visits to the hairdresser and cutting the length with a machine with different attachments. Otherwise, the haircut will quickly become untidy.

One of the main differences between boxing and semi-boxing is hair length. In the first case, it is smaller, and therefore the haircut looks more concise and neat. Also, "boxing" implies the presence of a border above the point of the back of the head. The back of the head itself remains as open as possible, and the length of the hair in the crown zone can reach 3-5 cm.

An important point - "boxing" requires the most pronounced and even abrupt transition from one length to another, shorter. As already mentioned, the length of the hair at the crown can reach 3-5 cm, at the back of the head - 1-1.5 cm, at the temples - no more than 3-5 mm. It is a clear transition that provides masculinity, brutality of the haircut.

"Half-box" has not only a lower edging relative to the nape point, but also a smoother, multi-step transition from one hair length to another. Due to this, it does not look so sharp and aggressive, and also has more styling options.

Despite its minimalism, "boxing" has several varieties:

The bangs in this case should be the same length as the main length of the hair at the crown. Moreover, it is carried out straight, without deviations. It can be classic or elongated, reaching the middle of any. The bangs can be laid on the forehead, on one of the sides, or raised up.

In this case, "boxing" is a haircut with completely shaved temples and rather long (up to 5 cm) hair on the crown. They rise to the top or are combed back. Due to the shaved temples, the edging is even sharper, and the image is masculine.

This haircut option is the minimum hair length. On the occipital and temporal parts, they are almost completely shaved off, the edging is performed as high as possible, there are no bangs.

A variation of the army model, however, in this case, the temporal and occipital zones are completely shaved, due to which the edging becomes as pronounced as possible. This "boxing" looks brutal and even somewhat aggressive. In this case, the front view and the rear view can be misleading: it may seem that we are not looking at "boxing", but a haircut under a typewriter or under zero.

The opposite of the army option. If in the first case the hair can be no longer than 1 cm, then an elongated bob is this is the length of the hair on the back of the head and temples up to 1-1.5 cm, on the crown - up to 3-5 cm. Many people confuse such haircuts with a Canadian and an undercard. However, a model haircut always has a less abrupt transition from one length to another, a more lush crown zone and long bangs. It is logical that the difference between how to cut these models is huge.

This is a combination of an army and an elongated bob, when the hair on the crown remains long enough (up to 5 cm), and on the occipital and temporal zones - the same length as in the military version of the haircut. As a rule, this variation of "boxing" is chosen by adolescents, boys and young men. It looks unusual and stylish.

This model usually means the classic version of the haircut, when the hair is as short as possible and the hair is cut according to traditional standards. In this model, bangs are not provided.

Boxing has sharper transitions from one hair length to another, while the length itself is small. That's why first of all, "boxing" is suitable for men with large facial features, masculine appearance. Such a haircut will be especially successful for men with square and triangular face shapes. Due to the shortened crown and longer hair on the back of the head, the face visually stretches, becomes more oval.

Due to its minimalism and ease of maintenance "Boxing" will be convenient for athletes, people who often travel, and for all those who do not have the opportunity and desire to spend time on daily care and styling.

We recall again that owners of curly hair should choose this haircut with caution, especially if the hair length at the crown is more than 3 cm. The haircut will look sloppy, and the image will lose its brutality.

Dandruff is another barrier to boxing. Even with its insignificant manifestation, it will not be possible to hide this defect.

If a man has a too elongated thin face and wants to hide this feature of his appearance, "boxing" is also contraindicated for him. A haircut will only emphasize this.

"Boxing" is a hairstyle that does not have a "tie" to the age of a man. It will allow young men to create an impetuous and daring image, to more mature men - to emphasize masculinity and sexuality. And even the flashing gray hair in the "boxing" does not hide the dynamism and brutality of the haircut.

The style of clothing, contrary to popular belief, is completely unlimited. First of all, sportswear and casual looks are perfectly combined with "boxing". However, a haircut in combination with a men's suit looks no less stylish.

In most cases, "boxing" does not require special handling for styling. It is enough to use a comb or tousle the longer section of the hair with your hands.

If your hair has grown back or you have wavy and unruly hair, use hair gel. Apply a small amount to the top of your head of hair and give your hair the desired direction.

You can use a corrective pencil instead of a gel. It can be found in many lines of styling products. The structure and functions of the pencil are similar to the gel, but more convenient to use. It has a dispenser, so squeezing out and using too much of the product is excluded.

If you need to put elongated bangs on top, you will need a massage comb (preferably a round one), styling gel or mousse, and hairspray.

The step-by-step installation scheme is as follows.

1. On wet hair, you need to apply a little gel or mousse, wind the hair on a brush and, pulling it and lifting it up at the same time, dry it with a hairdryer.
2. Hold the massage comb at the roots of the hair, gently lifting it up. The blower of the hair dryer should be directed in the direction in which the hair is to be styled.
3. When the hair is dry, let it cool down (3-4 minutes), then shape with your hands and fix with varnish. The varnish must be sprayed from below, from the roots.

Often a man is frightened by the complexity of styling. However, after a few days of practice, he will easily master this "wisdom". Of course, provided that the technology for performing the haircut itself is not violated.

Boxing is a popular hairstyle. She is chosen not only by many men, but also by celebrities.

Egor Creed chooses the classic boxing. The haircut opens the forehead, emphasizes the expressive eyes and the correct facial features of the performer. The hairstyle looks deliberately simple, it seems that it does not have a complex shape. However, professionals and owners of a similar haircut know how important it is to adjust the hair length every 2 weeks.

The next famous man, David Beckham, is always the choice of boxing or semi-boxing. It is logical that such a haircut is chosen by a practicing athlete, a football player. It is worth noting that a short haircut emphasizes Beckham's masculinity and athletic physique, gives his image dynamism and sexuality.

The star of the "Twilight" saga, Robert Pattinson, also chooses the "boxing" haircut at different periods of his life. Basically, this is the classic version of the haircut or the version with an extended bangs. According to fans, this haircut allows him to look more mature and masculine.

For a long time, the personality of Justin Timberlake has been synonymous with "boxing". It is worth noting that the haircut added charisma to the image of the star. The singer gave preference to classical "boxing" for several years, until in the late 2000s he began to grow his hair, gradually switching to a British woman.

In this charming man with a "boxing" of medium length and a softened transition from one hair length to another, it is difficult to see a perky and reckless Jack Sparrow. A few years ago, Johnny Depp changed his dreadlocks to a short haircut, which made him more serious, respectable and further emphasized the expressiveness of his eyes.

Orlando Bloom has long been associated with long-haired blonde. However, with dark hair and boxing, the artist looks more mature.
