The Ins and Outs of the Graduated Crop Haircut

• THE CUT ~~ Graduated high in back, this little crop haircut from Linda Cooper-Keller of Identity Salon in Cincinnati, OH, practically brushes right into place. Brushed upward, the back forms a newer version of the ‘50s duck-tail; the longer layered top can be styled for a variety of textured effects. Pull pieces down to create instant bangs or banish them with a quick brush-back.

• THE COLOR ~~ Platinum makes this haircut fabulous and if you’re young, a bit on the bold side and have a cut that’s short and textured, the way to wear it is with intentionally dark roots showing through. Makes re-touch time lots easier!

• HOW TO STYLE IT ~~ For a highly textured feeling, try out the crèmes, waxes and molding muds. Work a small amount into the roots, then blow-dry as you finger-style, curving layers over your fingers. Liquefy pomade between your fingers and detail individual ends to stand up.
