1. French Crop Disheveled Spikes
The basis of this haircut is a French crop, which is basically a crew cut with a straight, longer fringe. Compared to Caesar cuts, French crops have much shorter sides. To achieve disheveled spikes, all you have to do is run your fingers through your hair several times from different directions. Use a bit of hair product to hold it in place.
43. Long Top with Tapered Sides
Leave the top of your crew cut haircut long and then trim your sides gradually shorter. This style is great for any occasion and is also easy to style.
17. Soft Spikes with Tapered Sides
Achieve extra height with your style by creating soft spikes. Adding tapered sides to your style will give you a really trendy appearance.
3. Military High and Tight Crew Cut Haircuts
If you are not a military man, this military style cut can still look amazing on you. The hair is shaved high up the head, leaving a tight strip of longer hair in the middle for styling. Its called the high and tight.
46. Side-Swept Tousled Crew
For this side-swept tousled crew cut style, you need to keep some length on the crown. Run hair product through your hair by sweeping it from left to right.
22. Short Sides with Tousled Top
The sides are cut short and help add length across the entire width of your head. Cross your fingers through it from the front to give it a tousled appearance.
2. Thick Crew Cut Haircuts
A crew cut looks mesmerizing with really thick textured hair. All you have to do for this style is to wake up and go. No worries at all!
4. Simple Long Crew Cut Haircuts
The charm of this hairstyle consists in its simplicity and uniqueness. It’s nothing fancy, nor is it a pretentious kind of style, so it is very easy to achieve and maintain.
5. Brushed Crew Cut
A short crew cut saves a lot of time and you can easily comb it, if necessary. This helps if there is any hair out of its place, which rarely happens because of the length.
6. Mid-Length Disheveled Crew
Mid-length hair on men can work great with a slightly disheveled haircut. Run your fingers through it one way and then the other to achieve this slightly disrupted look.
7. Subtle Side Fringe Crew Cut Haircuts
Your hair should be left as nature created it, except for the presence of a very subtle side fringe. A gentle sweep with a comb will help kick your fringe slightly to one side.
8. Spiked Fringe Crew Cut Haircuts
Apply a bit of hair product on your hands and then run your fingers upwards through the starting section of your fringe. This will create a soft and spiked look.

10. Thick and Lightly Tousled
A thick top and sides look amazing when they are lightly tousled. All you need is just a bit of hair product for this fancy look, so try not to overdo it and keep it as natural as possible.
11. Out of Control Crew Cut
If your hair is inclined to be wild and free and you do not wish to keep it otherwise, cut your hair into various lengths and let it settle on its own without styling it.

To add your crew cut a classy look, a mini-quiff fits perfectly into your style. Use hair product on the front part of your hair to lift it up and back into a quiff.
16. Asymmetrical Crew Cut
Rather than having the same length everywhere, you can run your fingers through your hair from left to right to create an eye-catching asymmetrical side part.
