Probably the best short post ever. Very entertaining, and a great addition to your coverage of haircuts.
My hair is rarely Ivy. My misshapen head is far more visible with very short hair.
Could also serve as a guide to chins.
So no curly hair?
Certainly not like that Norman Hilton/Rugby model.
Like, cowabunga, dude.
What, no crew cut?

I think one of my children “commented” for me.
Sorry ’bout that.

This is the haircut I make an attempt at.
Sure, HenryB. Thanks
I just wanted to write lol but it seems the comments can’t be as short as the posts
Good rule of thumb. If a blow dryer is in use, it probably isn’t an Ivy League cut.
Where have I seen this image before?
Ah, yes. Here it is:
