How to Buzzcut Correctly

A uniform buzzcut doesn’t look nearly as good as a buzzcut fade.

A buzzcut fade is exactly as it sounds, it’s super short all around but just slightly longer on top, which gives a much nicer contrast.

Next you have to determine if a buzzcut would actually suit your face. You have to remember that this haircut will make all of your facial features more prominent. So if you have a nice jawline, it’s going to stand out. If you have a big nose, it’s going to look even bigger.

You get the idea.

It’s also really going to round out your face, so if you’re slightly chubby, it can make your face look even heavier.

There are also some features that just look great with a buzzcut, for example if you have thick dark eyebrows, this really elevates
the buzzed look.

Buzzcut + Beard Combo

Buzzcuts and beards go together like peanut butter and jelly. it’s all about contrast.

A buzzcut is a super clean hairstyle, so you want to balance it out with some facial hair. Whether it’s a full beard, stubble or a goatee having some facial hair is ideal when paired with a buzz cut.

Elevate Your Buzzcut

One of the problems w a buzzcut can be that it’s just not very exciting. After all having a nice hairstyle is supposed to be one of the ways you can stand out aesthetically – but you’re thinking about this wrong.

A buzzcut elevates everything else about you. For example if you have a diamond earing, it’s going to stand out and look much cooler with a buzzcut. So make sure the rest of you isn’t boring if you’re opting for a buzzcut.

Lastly we’ll talk about dyed buzzcuts. A lot of guys will hate on this, but if you can pull it off it looks super cool.

But for sure if you’re going for something like this you have to have the right vibe and aesthetic to pull it off, or else you will look like a clown.

Just an idea to throw out there if you really wanna switch up your look.
