However, there was disagreement over what constituted short hair on top and sides. Therefore, there were a lot of stars, Elliott included, that let the top and sides go to near medium length. This made it possible to style the front of the hair in any style one desired.

Elliott chose most often to spike up the hair in small sections so that it stood out in all directions. He could also simply run his fingers through the hair with a bit of gel on them and create a simple messy style that went with his bad boy attitude.
