Crew cut is a classic hairstyle known for its refined and stylish appearance.
Unlike the buzz cut, it features slightly longer hair on top, which is usually styled forward or to the side. The sides and back are cut shorter in a taper, creating a smooth fade that blends into the longer top.

How to Use the Crew Cut Filter
Step 1. Upload Your Photo
In the YouCam Perfect app, users can easily apply "Hairstyle filters" to see how they look before heading to the salon, spending money, and realizing it's not the right fit once the hairstyle is permanent.
Simply upload your photo, switch to 'Beautify' mode, and locate the "AI Hairstyle" feature in the menu bar. You can easily find the 'Crewcut' style in both Male and Female options.
Moreover, the crewcut effect supports style regeneration as you press on the same style again, making it easier for users to check how they look in slightly different crewcut hairstyles.

Crew Cut Filter FAQs
Does a Crew Cut Look Good on Everyone?
A crew cut is a classic and adaptable hairstyle that suits many face shapes and hair types, but it might not be the best choice for everyone. It often looks great on men with
- Square, oval, or rectangular faces to highlight strong jawlines
- Round faces by adding height to make the face appear longer
Since a crew cut reveals the shape of the head more clearly, those with uneven or asymmetrical head shapes might prefer slightly longer styles. Consulting with a barber or hairstylist can help determine if it’s the right fit for your specific features and lifestyle.
What Is the Difference Between a Buzz Haircut and a Crew Haircut?
A buzz cut is a very short, uniform hairstyle achieved with electric clippers, making the hair the same length all over the head. The length typically ranges from a number 1 to 3 clipper guard, making it an easy, low-maintenance option.
On the other hand, a crew cut is short on the sides and back, with the hair on top left longer, usually a few inches. While still relatively low-maintenance, the crew cut provides a more polished and professional appearance with different styling options.
Is There a Crew Cut Filter?
From Hollywood stars to military personnel, the crew cut has been a go-to hairstyle for many for its low maintenance compared to most haircuts. While the crew cut is versatile in styles, it's best to use a crew cut filter to see how it fits your face shape and personal style.
To get the look:
- Tap 'Photo Edit' and upload your image in the YouCam Perfect app
- Locate 'AI Hairstyle' under Beautify mode
- Find the "Crewcut" style in both female/male tabs
- Or locate 'AI Replace' under Edit mode
- Type the prompts in the text field and press 'Replace'
