What type of haircut is this?

It's called a Pompadour. It's very popular right now. The guy in the YouTube video has it longer on the sides then many people these days do. The idea is to have it short on the sides with it long on the top and swept up and back.

Looks like a regular haircut with a medium taper on the back/sides, with the top combed back off the forehead to form a sort of pompadour front, kind of like President Reagan used to style his hair. A good barber can usually design a regular haircut or one of the short pomp(pompadour) styles-crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut- to fully suit most young guys. Most girls are fine with whatever standard medium to short style a guy chooses to wear as long as the style fully suits and is kept clean and looking well groomed and the guy doesn't spend a lot of time on his hair. If a guy wants to go to a shorter style for the summer or one of his sporting activities, that is fine with most girls even when she prefers that he wear a somewhat longer style. Hair grows at an average rate of 1/8" per week. A photo is the best way to describe a style to a barber or stylist.

An ivy league, is considered to be a convertible haircut as it can be styled several ways...

1) Lightly waxed, side parted and brushed to the side with a short pompadour at the front hairline.

2)) Lightly waxed, side parted and brushed to the side without a short pompadour at the front hairline.

3) Lightly waxed and brushed back off the forehead like a crew cut.

4) Lightly waxed with the top hair brushed forward and the short bangs on the forehead like a forward brush.

5) Lightly waxed with the top hair brushed forward and the short bangs brushed back off the forehead like a crew cut.

here are more than a few ivy leagues...
