1. Military Induction
The induction buzz cut takes its name from the short haircut given to male recruits upon entry into various armed forces worldwide. Also referred to as a mighty fine, this style features as short of hair as possible without shaving and serves both practical and psychological purposes. This effortless style emphasizes cleanliness and orderliness with its clean-shaven back and sides and a short patch of hair at the crown. A buzz cut like this one can simultaneously help men be low-maintenance and stylish! Burrs are an alternative to induction buzz cuts that provide a slightly less aggressive look than military styles, often with just occasional touch-ups necessary. These styles typically range between grades 2/3 in terms of styling needs and require no more frequent attention than once every few weeks.
2. Burr
This style is ideal for those seeking a clean and tidy appearance. This look features hair clipped to a uniform length all over the head using a 3 clipper guard, with skin fades applied at the back and sides for an attractive finish. This cut can also work well for younger men looking for shorter haircuts. The burr is a timeless buzz-cut style that can help accentuate rugged features for an assertive and masculine appearance. While suitable for many face shapes, oval faces tend to find it particularly flattering. For an equally balanced appearance, combine this look with facial stubble. Ask your barber to keep the top layer between a butch cut and high and tight for easy texturizing product use – or ask them to grade between butch and fast for maximum textured styling product applications.
3. Clean Lined Buzz
As its name implies, this style combines all the benefits of a buzz cut with some length on top for added flexibility in styling it with pomade or putty, making it perfect for anyone who doesn’t wish to devote too much time and effort to grooming their locks. Men with triangular faces should consider this style of buzz haircut with its fade. It will help narrow their jaw while widening their forehead. This classic buzz-cut style is one of the most beloved. To achieve it, ask your barber to use a No. 2 blade on all areas for a clean cut, before fades are added on sides and back until all hairs lie flush against your scalp.
4. High and Tight Fade
The High and Tight Fade haircut is an ideal low-maintenance solution for men who seek stylish yet low-upkeep hairstyles. This look pairs a tight fade with short top layers for a clean, sleek look showing masculine features. Perfect for straight or curly locks alike; ensure a well-blended fade and use minimal products when styling this look! Add a comb-over to your high and tight cut for an exciting twist reminiscent of a pompadour style hairdo, emphasizing masculinity. This style also works well when combined with beards, adding extra dimension and balance to the overall appearance.
5. Long Buzz Cut
The extended buzz cut allows you to add texture and dimension to your haircut, creating more dimension through experimentation with length on top, forming lines between them, and creating contrast with hairline, temples, and beard. Men’s pomade or mousse makes maintaining this style effortless – simply apply it, and you’re good to go. Men experiencing hair thinning or receding may find the buzz cut liberating in taking control of an uncomfortable situation. Plus, this stylish choice shows off manly features while exuding power – so don’t be afraid to experiment with this daring new style – it just may surprise you!
