Best hairstyle for short curly hair?

I know it is possible to enroll in the basic rotc course at 15 in college but I assume you mean jrotc; three years of which can take the place of the basic course but this is really most relevant for the ecp at the military jc's. In any event, the grooming regs are the same for jrotc, rotc and the army, and I didn't think the army had any absolute length standard. I know the Marines max length is three inches and the Navy's is four, and the Marines require an edge tapered to zero at the nape and around th ear arches, while none of the other service branches do. At two inches max, you can of course get a butch or brush cut, referred to by some as a buzz cut, but also the short pomp styles are possible- crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut, as well as a forward brush cut. With a crew cut, ivy league,or flat top crew cut, the hair is graduated in length on top, longer to the front hairline to allow the short pomp front to form when the hair is brushed up off the forehead. This allows the barber to design the cut so the appearance of the head shape fits the face shape and frontal hairline. As a result, a well designed short pomp style can fully suit almost any young guy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features. In contrast, only about 10% of guys fully suit a butch cut, as the barber has little room to make the appearance of the head shape fit the face shape and frontal hairline since the top hair is cut a uniform short length. A forward brush is cut specifically so the hair lays flat and has an attractive short fringe when brushed forward onto the forehead. Usually a forward brush suits a guy with fairly wavy hair and a somewhat longer face. Most of the linked photos are of guys with quite wavy hair.

Sideburns and Height of Neck Edge:

The place the sideburns extend down the ears and the height of the neck edge play a very important role in how a short haircut appears. Sideburns tend to normalize the distance between the corner of the eye and the tip of the chin. Short sideburns can lengthen a short face and long sideburns can shorten a long face. Short sideburns extend to the place where the ear cartilage attaches to the skull. Medium sideburns extend to the top of the ear orifice. Long extend to the middle of the ear opening. Extra long extend to the bottom of the ear orifice. A higher neck edge will lengthen a short neck and a lower neck edge will shorten a long neck.

Some barbers describe an ivy league as a crew cut just long enough to be parted and combed to the side if so desired. An ivy league can also be worn with the hair brushed up off the forehead to form the short pomp front or with the short bangs brushed down on the forehead like a forward brush cut.

Grooming any of the short pomp styles- crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut- is basically the same. I usually use krew comb in the jar, lucky tiger cru butch, gabel's crew cut, or stix fix design polish. Krew comb washes out readily. The others don't if too much is applied. To remove a wax build up. Apply shampoo to dry hair and lather up before showering. Rinse in shower and shampoo again as one normally does. It takes less than two minutes to groom a crew, ivy or flat after stepping out of the shower.

1) Towel dry hair.

2) Barely dip fingertips in jar of wax.

3)Transfer wax to palms.

4) Smooth palms over hair.

5)Brush hair off forehead to form short pomp front.

The small flat oval plastic pocket brushes that one finger fits through and barbers sell for about a dollar work well with the short styles; as does a boar's bristle military brush.

Whichever style you decide on, take a photo to help describe the desired haircut to the barber or stylist. One way to determine hair lengths in a photo, is to measure the length of the hair and then the length of the face from the center of the front hairline to the tip of the chin. Assume a male adult face length of around eight inches and then proportionally adjust the lengths. The lengths of many short upright styles is longer at the front hairline than one imagines from looking at photos.

Can't help with the face shape without a photo. There is quite a difference between an oval and square face. Oval is much easier to design a haircut for. The point of male face shape analysis is to find a hairstyle that maximizes or minimizes the hair in different areas of the head so as to create the illusion of the perfect oval face shape with a more masculine boxy rather than feminine more rounded skull shape.

Good Luck
