Today, fashion trends in the field of hairdressing dictate their own rules in terms of the relevance of men's haircuts. Among the popular types of hairstyles for men, it is worth highlighting the "tennis" haircut, represented by different options. Let's consider in more detail its varieties and execution technology.

The ultra-modern haircut, which is now in demand among males of all ages, owes its origin and name to the sport of the same name. The fashion for wearing such model hairstyles by athletes was due to the convenience of short haircuts., in comparison with regular exercise in the presence of hair of medium length or more. In addition, the original cutting technique made it possible to stand out from the rest of the men, adding personality to their image.

The tennis haircut has its own individual characteristics that distinguish it from other varieties. This is due to the creation of a shape from the hair, in which the back of the head and temples will be the shortest. As a rule, the master works with this area using a typewriter, leaving about 1–2 centimeters from the length of the hair. As for the parietal part, in the classic version, the hair in this zone will be twice as long. However, the main characteristic, thanks to which the haircut will be recognizable, is a smooth and harmonious transition between the maximum and minimum zones along the length. As for certain standards of lengths at the back, sides and front, today there are several types of haircuts "tennis"where similar parameters can vary greatly. However, the unifying moment for everyone will be the versatility of such a cutting technique, due to which the result will look attractive on any hair structure, including even and wavy.

As practice shows, a haircut of this kind looks equally attractive on the representatives of the strong half of humanity with different types of figures and height, in addition, the "tennis" haircut has no age restrictions.

Today, stylists and hairdressers highlight several recommendations regarding the selection of a harmonious variety in accordance with the type of appearance and face contour.

• Ultra short haircut type should be worn by men with an elongated and thin face. This is due to the peculiarities of the hairstyle, which gives the features a certain volume. In addition, "tennis" will be able to visually hide possible disadvantages in the shape of the skull. However, with an elongated head shape, such a variety is still not worth wearing.

• Haircut with medium hair length will also help smooth out the possible disadvantages of the structure of the skull. However, to maintain aesthetic appeal, a man's square should not be done with naturally wavy hair.

• A variety called "beaver" advise males with an elongated skull structure, and this option will also be suitable for owners of thick and rigid hair shafts, since they allow you to maintain an attractive haircut shape, emphasizing its smooth lines.

The tennis haircut will also be suitable for boys of all ages, due to the large number of its types, as well as practicality and relevance in the light of fashion trends.

Today stylists and hairdressers distinguish a certain classification of this method of cutting male clients. Gradation concerns the preservation of the classic nuances of working with hair, but at the same time the length of each zone can vary significantly. Several varieties are in greatest demand, which we will consider in more detail.

The master uses a typewriter to make the temples and the back of the head very short, as for the forehead, the length is left within 3-5 centimeters, the crown will be trimmed to 2–2.5 centimeters, but in this case the client's wishes can be taken into account. The parietal zone is formed by the master as a flat platform. This area can be long if the shape of the man's face is wide, and also with a thin and elongated face, the platform is made short. With this gradation of lengths, all transitions and corners are made rounded. Men with soft and sparse hair may be advised to choose another option for "tennis", which is due to some difficulties in working with the parietal zone with a similar structure of hair shafts.
