Discover practical tips for giving yourself a sleek buzz cut that complements your style and confidence.
Use Clippers With No Guard
Going guardless delivers an even, ultra-short cut across the entire head for a classic buzzed look.
Start From the Top, Move to the Sides
Initiate the buzz cut by clipping from the crown of your head towards your ears to create a clean, even length before tackling the trickier side areas.
Fade Sides for a Modern Twist
Adding a fade brings dimension and a contemporary edge to the classic buzz cut.
Shave Patterns or Lines
Incorporating etched designs breathes an artistic flair into your buzz, transforming the cut into a canvas for self-expression.
Buzz With a Longer Guard First
Starting with a longer guard affords you the flexibility to test the waters before committing to a shorter, more drastic cut.
Graduate to Shorter Lengths
Experimenting with decreasing guard sizes offers a sleek transition to finer hair lengths.
Try an Asymmetrical Buzz
An asymmetrical buzz cut gives a dash of edge by varying hair length on different sides.
Leave a Longer Fringe
Maintaining length at the front gives your buzz cut a modern edge and frames the face.
Buzz Sides, Leave Top Slightly Longer
Adopting a longer top with buzzed sides can add a touch of modern edge to your self-styled cut.
Use a Razor for a Closer Cut
For skin-level smoothness after clipping, glide a razor over your scalp.
Create a Textured Top
Adding texture on top breathes life into a classic buzz, offering a modern, edgy finish.
Add a Hair Design Stencil
Incorporate a stencil for a personal touch, carving out shapes or symbols that display a dash of creativity on your buzzed canvas.
Buzz With an Upward Motion
Employing an upward motion with the clippers promotes a more uniform length and diminishes the risk of unsightly patchiness.
Try a Mohawk-style Buzz
For an edgy touch, buzz the sides of your head while leaving a strip of hair along the center, achieving a rebellious mohawk effect.
Blend Different Guard Lengths
Blending varying guard lengths smoothens transitions between hair lengths for a polished, professional finish.
