How to Cut Ivy League Haircut Demonstration by Sergey Zaroslav

How to Cut Ivy League Haircut – but first, what are ivy league haircuts? An ivy league hairstyle is a type of crew cut but the hair on the top is longer and then gradually blends down the sides and back. It’s a classic men’s preppy style that’s also known as the Harvard Cut or Princeton Haircut. An ivy league haircut is overall short in length and modern. But one thing is for sure, it has stood the test of time.

In this video taken from the internet, Sergey Zaroslav shows you how to cut an ivy league haircut. He styles the hair by addressing the sides first. He uses horizontal sections with a Feather Styling Razor and then scissors to cut around the ear. In the back he takes vertical sections and uses a Feather Plier Razor. After cleaning up the neckline a bit, he takes horizontal sections on the top using a Feather Plier Razor. Finally, he blow drys and adds some texture and details with scissors and clippers around the ear and sideburns. The final result is a clean, classy haircut. He has a clear side part on his head and  lots of volume on top. He doesn’t need much if at all any product in the hair to maintain the style or shape.

A barber or stylist could do this haircut. While stylists are generally more proficient in using a razor, barbers can definitely learn to create more texture in the hair with a razor. You can shop the Feather Styling Razor and Feather Plier Razor in the store.
