For all tennis haircut options, there is an initial identical procedure:
- Extinguish with a machine 1-1.5 cm of the temporal and occipital parts
- The edging of the temples and forehead is done
- Creates a smooth transition from short to long hair
- A control strand is identified in the frontal-parietal zone
- Next, the haircut is done according to the chosen option.

This option means very short temples and the back of the head, almost at 0. And on the upper platform a length of 2-2.5 cm is left. “Beaver” is perfect for those with coarse hair. Due to their structure, they will perfectly maintain their shape. Ideal for men with a long face, it will remove excess length and make the oval shape more clear.
In this case, the temples and the back of the head are also quite short, but the area of hair on top is 3-3.5 cm long. The hair sticks out like the spines of a hedgehog, which is how the current name came about. Ideally matches a round face by visually elongating it. In addition, such a haircut can hide even severe unevenness of the skull.
Kare
The male bob has a completely different look than the usual female bob. It is cut in a square, the length of the hair is even throughout the entire head and varies from 2 to 8 cm. This haircut is suitable for absolutely everyone.
Another subspecies that cannot be ignored. Youth tennis is an extended classic version. There are many styles for this haircut. Today, this particular subtype of tennis is at the peak of popularity among young people.

The tennis haircut in the classic version is short, but if you wish, you can experiment with different options. This style is very neat, creates the appearance of a presentable person, does not require special care, looks masculine, without pretentiousness.
What does a men's tennis haircut look like?
Modern haircut variations are very diverse and do not depend on the shape of the head, face, length, or hair structure. This is a universal hairstyle that looks appropriate on all men. Even those with curly and kinky hair will be able to choose a suitable option for themselves. The hairstyle in the classic version assumes the presence of relatively elongated hair on the crown, and on the back of the head and temples the strands are cut short. When cutting hair, it is important to create a smooth transition between different lengths, which is the main feature.
Which men suit a tennis haircut?
Hairstyles should be chosen based on your own taste preferences and appearance features. As mentioned above, a tennis haircut suits every man with any face shape, body type, or hair structure. This option is not suitable only for those who prefer longer hair and do not like to cut their hair short. This option is especially convenient for a neat children's haircut.
If there are obvious irregularities that are present on the skull, it is better to choose a crew cut, which can visually even out the surface of the head and hide all the imperfections.

Types of tennis haircuts

By changing the length of your hair, you have the opportunity to find your own way to emphasize your individuality, style, and adjust your facial features. Hairstyles are divided into several options depending on what accents should be present.
Bobrik
In this option, the parietal part is cut shorter, which ultimately gives a flat area. On the back of the head and on the sides, the hair is cut even shorter. This option is perfect for those with refined facial features. Visually, this type of haircut makes the head smaller, which is worth considering for men who have small heads. The stronger sex with voluminous hair should pay attention to the textured option, when the hairdresser pays a lot of attention to the tip. And if your hair is thin, then choose an even haircut with a flat top.
Hedgehog
A special feature of hedgehog tennis is considered to be hair that bristles like hedgehog needles. The temples are cut very short when compared with the length of the hair on the crown. This haircut visually makes the head larger, gives a masculine expression to the face, and is ideal for those with a round face, as it lengthens the face due to the volume at the top. The hairstyle looks very good on those with coarse hair.
Another option for a hedgehog is a hairstyle with long bangs. The emphasis in this version is on the forehead, where a small strand is placed (to the right or left), but the rest of the head is cut short. This type of short tennis is suitable for teenage boys and young men, but on older men it will look inappropriate, sometimes even ridiculous.
Youth tennis
This is the choice of those men who want to look like a dandy. This type of tennis haircut is designed so that the longest length remains on the crown, but the length on the sides and temples remains very short. This option has gained popularity due to numerous styling options. A man can comb his strands back for a strict version of the classic styling, or create volume by backcombing on top for a spectacular appearance. For weekdays, light carelessness due to the disheveled curls of the parietal part is perfect.
Men's bob
This option differs from the female bob, and therefore is separated into a separate haircut technology. The peculiarity of the hairstyle is to cut off the area on the top of the head, while the temples are cut to the same length and remain even. This version of tennis is in harmony with different face shapes and satisfies such masculine requirements as neatness. A man's bob will make a man attractive at any age.
Hairstyle design and technology

"came to us from English soldiers. The Tennis haircut has a similar origin, and who invented it is clear from the name. In ancient times, when tennis as a sport was already very popular, and caps and baseball caps had not yet conquered the world, tennis players needed to come up with a comfortable haircut. Yes, such that the bangs did not get into the eyes and did not block the view, but the hair on the crown was of a decent length and protected from the scorching rays of the sun during the game. At the same time, the back of the head and temples had to be cut short so that the head would not sweat too much. This is how “Tennis” appeared - one of the most popular haircuts today among men of all ages.
Who is the Tennis haircut suitable for?
The tennis haircut is absolutely universal. So to speak, there are no contraindications. You just need to choose the right edition.
There are three main varieties of this hairstyle:
- A very short “Tennis”, which is popularly called “Beaver”. Suitable for those who like to cut their hair very short, as an alternative to a “zero” haircut, fans of outdoor activities and athletes. Looks perfect with all existing clothing styles, suitable for all face types and any hair structure. The only points that you should pay attention to when choosing this option are the correct shape of the skull and the presence of defects on the scalp. The hair length in “Beaver” is minimal and it does not hide the listed shortcomings; if any, it is better to choose “Hedgehog” or “Tennis-bob”.
- Model “Tennis” or simply “Hedgehog”. Suitable for almost everyone. An excellent option for work, for leisure, for formal classics, and for a tracksuit. Children, young people, and older people can have their hair cut in this way. This hairstyle looks neat, is easy to wear, and does not require special care or styling.
- And an elongated version of the haircut - “Bob”. This type of “Tennis” was created by hairdressers specifically for men who prefer to wear longer haircuts. The hair on the temples, back of the head and crown is left longer than in previous versions, but the proportions are respected. A prerequisite is the absence of bangs falling into the eyes. The front part of the hair must certainly be raised up. Daily styling is required, and therefore this haircut will not appeal to everyone.
In addition to the three basic haircut models, there is one more – youth “Tennis”. Its essence lies in the creative execution of the usual editions - adding short or, conversely, long bangs. The hair is not laid up, but on one side or completely tousled, there is an unusual parting, and so on.
Tennis haircut scheme and technology
Tennis haircut is cut according to one of the following patterns.
The simplest option is the short “Tennis”, and therefore it is worth examining the haircut technology in more detail. The remaining options differ from this mainly only in the final length of the hair at the temples, back of the head and crown.
- Install attachment No. 1 on an electric hair clipper and process the back of the head and the area behind the ears to the level of the temples.
- Change the nozzle to No. 2 and rise a little higher, forming a smooth transition between the short temporal, occipital and longer parietal zones.
- Place nozzle No. 3 and rise even higher.
- A uniform transition is created by changing the angle of the machine blade.
- Using straight scissors, starting from the back of the head and moving towards the forehead, cut the hair from the crown of the head to the desired length.
Types of men's haircuts Tennis
To make it easier to choose the perfect haircut for yourself, it is recommended to see how it looks on real people with different face shapes, appearance types and clothing styles. To do this, below are photographs of men with a “Tennis” haircut, which are grouped into groups according to hairstyle types.
The photo above shows the shortest variation of “Tennis” - “Beaver”, and the video shows the technology for its execution. All owners of this haircut look presentable and respectable. It’s also mysterious and attractive, which will arouse special interest among the female half of the population. In addition, the hairstyle is very practical, as it does not require styling and can be combined with any outfit.
The model haircut “Tennis” (“Hedgehog”) is by far the most popular of all editions. Completely different personalities order it from hairdressers - of all ages, sizes and professions. This is justified by the fact that it suits absolutely all men. It can be cut on hard straight hair, soft wavy hair, and curly hair. In any case, the final result will look beautiful and relevant.
At a certain age, many grown-up boys love everything unusual, special, non-standard in order to stand out from the crowd and attract attention. It is for these purposes that the youth haircut “Tennis” was invented, which is an original version of one of the standard variations.
Those who prefer to leave more hair on their head will definitely like the longer version of the haircut, called “Tennis bob”. Suitable for bright, extraordinary and somewhat rebellious natures. A man with a haircut like this will always look interesting. The future image depends on the styling method - it can be provocative or modest, romantic or aggressive, but always irresistible.
Many mothers choose one of the varieties of “Tennis” for their sons. And all because it is beautiful and practical, plus it definitely suits absolutely all boys, even the smallest ones.
Thus, I would like to say a huge thank you to the tennis players of the distant past for coming up with such a wonderful haircut as “Tennis” for the men of the present.
