Inspired on a post war military crew cut of the 1950’s with a classic twist keeping length on top to give a clean, regimented short back and sides with something to play around with on top.
I would clipper the back and sides to a clear horse shoe section just before the bend of the head shape. Shaping the ears into a rounded off square neck gives a military finish which is what im after in this cut. Moving on up to the top, centre parting to be over directed on to the sides, leaving as much length as possible. Finishing off around the horse shoe section with texturing with scissors to blend in the perfect line break that once was.

Firstly, towel dry your hair, then push hair back from your forehead so it stands straight and blast with medium heat to create the height followed by a cool blast to lock it in. Rub a 5 pence coin amount of hair product into the palms of your hands, working this thoroughly into your hands before running it through your hair to create THE RICK. For longer locks, use hair spray for a all day hold. Tools:

The tools I would use to achieve THE RICK are a Parlux compact 3200 Hairdryer, Mr Natty’s Pomade Wax and Kevin Murphy session hair spray.
