 Some people have trouble keeping up with the latest and local slang for hair cuts and styles.

What are some of the terms they use in your area?

In Dallas Texas:

Short hair cuts are called a college cut or Ivy League by the old heads.

Youngstas trying to start calling them Cearsars now.

Fade: top long or short and the sides and back are blending to bald cut.

 

(I know you BK boys got your own language up there)
