Variations
A very short crew cut is sometimes referred to as a butch or buzz cut. A long crew cut can be referred to in the US as an ivy league crew cut or ivy league. A long crew cut might be graduated in length on the top of the head from 1.5 inches (38 mm) at the front hairline to 0.5 inches (13 mm) at the back of the crown. A short crew cut might have a similar proportional graduated difference in the length of the hair on the top of the head. If a short crew cut is 0.75 inches (19 mm) at the front hairline, the length of the hair at the back of the crown might be 0.25 inches (6 mm). A crew cut where the hair on the top of the head is graduated in length from the front hairline to a chosen point on the mid to back part of the crown as a flat plane, of level, upward sloping or downward sloping inclination is known as a flat top crew cut or flattop. Crew cuts, flattop crew cuts, and butch cuts are all traditionally groomed with hair control wax, commonly referred to as butch wax.

Famous quotes containing the word variations:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
