What’s the Buzz: Which Buzz Cut Is the Best for You?

It's no surprise that the buzz cut is a popular hairstyle among men. Aside from its masculine appeal, it is also low maintenance. The short, even lengths of a buzzed haircut are incredibly easy to manage. The good thing about it is that it keeps your hair from curling or kinking. This is by far the cleanest and considered by many as among the most masculine haircuts. It is also commonly seen among military personnel.

There are quite a few different types of buzz cuts to choose from. Even if they look good on almost every kind of hair, you should consider the curvature of your head, lumps, scars, or bumps. This article will assist you in deciding on the best buzz cut for you.

Flat Top

Men's hairstyles don't get much more innovative than the flat top. It's angular and eye-catching. It's a high-fade haircut in which the hair on top is clipped so that when a product like gel or pomade is applied, it creates a flat surface.

Crew Cut

A crew cut is a hairstyle in which the hair on the side and back of the head are cut in equal lengths. The top is cut in a tapered manner toward the front. The hair in the front is a little longer. This hairstyle is not quite as extreme in cutting your hair short, so it can be considered a good everyday haircut rather than a military haircut.

Receding Hairline Buzz Cut

A buzz cut can be the best hairstyle to go bald in style for most young men who have a receding hairline. Buzz cuts cover and prevent attention from being drawn to the receding hairline and have a flattering effect on the neatness of the man with this hairstyle.

Military Induction

The induction cut is the shortest of all buzz cut styles and a traditional buzz. It takes its name from its military origins. Achieved with clippers without a guard; you may even shave your head with a straight razor if desired.

High & Tight

This hairstyle looks a lot like an undercut. The only difference is that the top has less hair. Barbers achieve this look by using razor #1 or #2 to clip the sides and back. They try to achieve contrast by placing a razor two sizes larger on top of the cut part.

Caesar Cut

Barbers can use #5 or higher hair guards to keep the top longer to achieve this look. This buzz-cut hairstyle is for you if you prefer longer hair length but still want a buzz-cut look.

It is not advised to cut yourself with this hairstyle. It would be best if you have this done in a reputable barbershop for men. The finishing touch to this hairstyle is to apply pomade to your hair after blow-drying your top hair and combing it forward.

Conclusion

The buzz cut cuts down the time it takes to get ready significantly. It's the epitome of low-maintenance style. On a windy day, you won't have to worry about your hair getting messed up. You won't lose any hair if you roll down your windows on the highway.
