Brush cut Marine

A brush cut is a type of haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut short in every dimension.[1] The top and the upper portion of the back and sides are cut the same length, generally between 1⁄4 and 1⁄2 inch (6 and 13 mm), following the contour of the head. The hair below the upper portion of the sides and back of the head is tapered short or semi-short with a clipper, in the same manner as a crew cut.[1][2] A variant form may have a slight graduation of the top hair longer from back to front or a quickly graduated bit of hair at the front hairline to achieve a little flip up of the hair at the forehead.[1] A brush that is cut at less than 1⁄4 inch on top may be referred to as a burr.[3] A brush that is cut at 1⁄4 inch or longer on top, and especially one that shows natural curl, depending on length, may be referred to as a short brush cut or brush cut.[4][1][5] Brush cuts are traditionally groomed with hair control wax, commonly referred to as brush wax.

Culture

Short brush cut

A butch haircut is a common haircut for women who are masculine, typically a lesbian, with "butch" existing primarily in LGBT slang. Since the lesbian subculture of 1940s America, "butch" has been present as a way for lesbians to circumvent traditional genders of women in society and distinguish their masculine attributes and characteristics from feminine women.[6]

Brush cuts are commonly used in various militaries, either as form of social conformity to the military or as a hygienic measure. Conversely many punk cultures and movements have likewise adopted brush haircuts as a form of personal identity and of rebellion.[7]
