As Salaam Alaikum wa Rah!matuAllaah wa Barakatu.
Many of our Muslim youth ignore the rulings of Hairstyles and Haircuts out of arrogance or ignorance. Here are some Hadeeth regarding the permissability and impermissability of Haircuts (taken from salafitalk.net):
Cutting the hair off is Permissable
Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "Shave it all or leave it all." (Related by Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i).
Qiza (Shaving one part and leaving the other is not permissable, example crew cuts)
Nafa' related from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah prohibited qiza'. Nafa' asked, "What is qiza' ?" He said, "It is to shave off part of the hair of a youth and to leave part." (AlBukhari and Muslim.) Volume 1, Page 23
Volume 7, Book 72, Number 803:
Narrated Ubaidullah bin Hafs: that 'Umar bin Nafi' told him that Nafi', Maula 'Abdullah had heard 'Umar saying, "I heard Allah's Apostle forbidding Al-Qaza'." 'Ubaidullah added: I said, "What is Al-Qaza'?" 'Ubaidullah pointed (towards his head) to show us and added, "Nafi' said, 'It is when a boy has his head shaved leaving a tuft of hair here and a tuft of hair there." Ubaidullah pointed towards his forehead and the sides of his head. 'Ubaidullah was asked, "Does this apply to both girls and boys?" He said, "I don't know, but Nafi' said, 'The boy.'" 'Ubaidullah added, "I asked Nafi' again, and he said, 'As for leaving hair on the temples and the back part of the boy's head, there is no harm, but Al-Qaza' is to leave a tuft of hair on his forehead unshaved while there is no hair on the rest of his head, and also to leave hair on either side of his head.'"

The Prophet's Hair
Neither Curly nor Straight

He had a ruddy complexion, neither very white nor very dark, and his hair was neither curly nor straight. The revelation came to him when he was forty years old.
- Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3354; Muslim, 2338
To his ear lobes
It was narrated that al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib (radee Allaahu 'anhu) said: The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam) was of average height and broad shouldered. He had hair that came down to his earlobes. I saw him wearing a red garment and I never saw anyone more handsome than him.
- Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3358; Muslim, 2337
To his shoulders
It was narrated that Qutaadah said: I asked Anas ibn Maalik (radee Allaahu 'anhu) about the hair of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam).

According to another report, his hair used to touch his shoulders.

The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam) liked to be like the People of the Book in matters where there was no specific command. Then the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam) parted his hair.
