1. 
   It refers to either a low taper fade with 67 shaved on the side or ice cream hair. There’s not a universal “67 haircut,” and it’s a running joke online that any haircut can be a 67 haircut. That said, the most viewed 67 haircut videos show a low taper fade with a “67” shaved on the side of the head, or the trendy ice cream hairstyle.

   • The 67 haircut can also refer to “ice cream hair.” Jay says, “The 67 haircut is the ice cream haircut,” and it’s especially popular with young white boys. He adds that a lot of people call this cut the “Mason.”

How to Get the 67 Low Taper Fade

1. 
   Ask for a low taper fade with 6-7 shaved on the sides. When you sit in the barber’s chair, ask for a low fade at the nape of your neck, with a gradual taper and volume at the top. Usually, the shortest hair in a low taper fade is about 0.25 in (0.64 cm) long, so request the #2 clippers to get this length. Then, ask your barber to shave the number 67 on the side of your hair for a truly fun, unique, and brain-rotted look!

   • Keep in mind that you can transform any haircut into the 67 haircut by shaving the numbers into your head. Feel free to try it out with any type of fade, such as temple fade or shadow fade!

How to Get the 67 Ice Cream Hair

1. 
   1
   Grow out your hair and ask for choppy layers. Try to grow your hair to at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) on the top and sides, or until the front hits the bottom of your eyes. You’ll want to have lots of length because your hair will look shorter as you fluff it up to create this hairstyle. Ask your barber to add layers and texture throughout your head.

   • Show your barber reference photos of haircuts that have the length, layering, and styling you like. The key to a flattering haircut is to be clear about what you want!
   • Jay says that this haircut is “associated with a full archetype. They’ll have the Mason (67) haircut, ice cream basketball shorts, sunglasses, and be on a baseball team.”

   Apply a texturizing powder to your hair. On dry hair, sprinkle a small amount of texturizing powder at the roots for volume. Then, use your fingertips to work it into your hair and build texture. Keep fluffing your hair until you can’t see any powder.

   • Remember, less is more when it comes to texturizing powder, and you don’t want to go overboard. For greater control, rub the powder between your palms first before raking it through your hair.
   • If you don’t have texturizing powder, use texturizing spray instead. Just shake the bottle well, spray it evenly on the roots and mid-lengths, then use your hands to activate the product and add texture.

   Throw on a hat and fluff up the ends of your hair. Once you’ve achieved the volume and texture you like, wear a baseball cap that allows the ends of your hair to stick out. Use your fingertips to fluff those ends so they stick upward. Then, take off the cap, and rock your new hairstyle!

   • To help your style last all day, spray volumizing hairspray from at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) away.

Understanding the 67 Trend

1. The term “67” refers to a nonsensical TikTok trend. Generally, TikTok users include “67” in videos when they feel like making a reference or joke. You might see “67” in a wide variety of content—and in real life, people sometimes say “67” just to be funny. The term “67” itself doesn’t mean anything, and most “67” TikTok videos include lip dubs and references to test scores, height, and other jokes.

   • “6–7 doesn’t have a direct meaning to it,” agrees Jay. “The trend picked up after viral edits of the song ‘Doot Doot (67)’ by Skrilla, where he says, ‘Bro put belt right to they behind, the way that switch brr, I know he dyin’ 6–7.’”
   • “Jay adds that it the meme “became even more popular after a middle schooler rapped the lyrics while making a funny face in a video.” The subject of the video, now known as the 6–7 Kid, had the popular “ice cream” haircut, which is why it’s often called the 6–7 haircut now.
