What is a regulation cut
Regulation cut (regulation cut) has its roots in military regulationsthat determined the maximum length of hair. It is characterized by a short length at the top (usually under 2.5 cm), gradually shortening sides and a clean nape. Everything is precise and symmetrical.
Characteristics of the cut
Top part: 1-2.5 cm, short enough for minimal styling. Side: Taper or low fade, gradual transition. Nape: Clean cut, can be squared or rounded. Ceiling: Optional, can be present or not.
