Buzz cuts have been a staple male hair cut used for generations by military men, guys who are experiencing balding, and others in between who simply want an easy, low-maintenance style. No wonder, the buzz cut is simple, affordable and always in style. Not every man can afford growing out his hair to wear trendy medium length hairstyles or those with a long top. A buzz is absolutely tolerant to the type of your hair and demands of your life style. Besides, with shaved designs and faded sections, it leaves you enough room for creativity and personalization.
These are quick, convenient and affordable – they look good on almost any hair type and suit any age. Whatever your motivation for trying out a new style, you’ll find that a buzz will meet your expectations when you want to look good without a ton of maintenance.
As we’ve mentioned prior, a buzz cut doesn’t have to be militia – instead, you can shear it any way you want to. In this example, a subtle Mohawk is included into the cut for a shapely, unique take on a buzz.
What is a buzz cut? Typically, it’s a short haircut done with clippers, but for today’s men it can also have many variations, like this one pictured below. Men may choose many different types of buzz cuts, including extra short cuts with shaven sections and designs.
A cool fade that touches only some sections of your style is a great element to add to your basic buzz. You can, for example, blur the hairline from the corner of your forehead to the corner of your nape. Add a V-shaped nape line as a bonus.
With thinning hair a long buzz cut isn’t an option, while a simple short buzz would be appropriate and flattering. If it seems too plain, you may upgrade it with a fade around the ears and expertly carved angles/curves for the hairline and the outlines of your facial hairstyle.
