Some hairstyles are "classic" (traditional and well-liked) and "timeless" (never out of style), but others are "fads" (things that are very popular for a short period of time).

Women with a "bob cut," also called a "bob," have hair cut straight across below their ears and above the shoulder. It hangs down, often "parted" (with a line through one's hairs) on one side. Recently the "a-line bob" has become very popular, where the hair in a bob is longer in the front and shorter in the back.

A "pixie cut" is a woman's hairstyle with very short hair and a lot of gel. Usually the "bangs" (shorter pieces of hair that hang over one's forehead) are "spiked," or made to look like sharp points.

Some men like to have spiked hair, too. The "mohawk" is a men's haircut where the hair on the side of one's head is very short or "shaven off" (bald; without hair) and the hair on the top of the head is long. Men put gel in the long hairs on top to spike them so they stand up in the air.

Another men's haircut, the "rattail" is not common now, but it was very popular in the 1980s. A man with a rattail has short or normal hair, but there is one small section at the bottom of his head, above the neck, that is very long. It looks a little bit like a rat's tail.

A "crew cut" is the hairstyle given to men in the army, with no hair on the sides and very short hair on the top. A "buzz cut" is a men's hairstyle where all the hair has been cut extremely short and one can see the "scalp" (the skin on one's head).
