What is the buzz cut haircut?
We often talk about a military cut when we cut our hair very short close to the scalp. Today, we call it the “buzz cut”. It is a haircut that comes with varied and subtle differences. But the uniqueness of this cut is that the length of the hair is similar on all parts of the skull.

So, if you are thinking about shortening your hair to wear a buzz cut, you should think about the variant that would best match your face, as Pascal Lancien, hairdresser in Marseille, tells us. He recommends always seeking the advice of a hairdresser who will be able to better advise you on the cut that will suit you best.
Can everyone wear the buzz cut?
In principle, the buzz cut suits everyone, but there are still some relative exceptions and certain body types and face shapes. However, the hairstyle is so convenient that it is worn not only by men but also by women besides requiring little or no maintenance. But if there is only one thing to remember when thinking about adopting such a style, it is that it is a good choice for everyone who wants to opt for a drastic change in their look. And if they have regular features and a rather symmetrical face, well that’s all to the good!

The buzz cut is also suitable for all ages, as is the case with several other trendy hairstyles.
Who should avoid the buzz cut?
While almost everyone can look great with the buzz cut in any context, it is not recommended when you have significant imperfections or bumps on your head. Likewise, this very short cut highlights the protruding ears more. Same goes for those with a broad forehead, in which case they might want to avoid this look. With this style, the look can also be focused on the asymmetry of the features.
Furthermore, the buzz cut does not flatter all face shapes. So, if you have a round face, you should avoid this cut which further rounds its contour.

- The buzz cut seduces with its simplicity and comfortable style. The fact that you can adjust it yourself at home with a simple clipper is an argument in itself.
- The buzz cut offers a simple look, suitable for minimalist men who don’t want to attract attention.

What is the ideal length of a buzz cut?
The buzz cut is not limited to a specific length. Between 5 and 15 millimeters in length, the buzz cut still offers a certain latitude and therefore, choice. But the idea remains the same: the scalp should be sufficiently visible through the hair.
In case you have a uniform skull shape, one of the best ideas is to highlight it by choosing to go with an equally uniform shaved cut. In this case, the recommended length is around 5 to 9 millimeters.

If you have fine or particularly thinning hair, your best bet is to opt for an even shorter buzz cut. The contour of the head is obviously more highlighted after the clipper. The edges should benefit from a good finish, especially around the ear and neck.
But what about the bumps on the head? The approach will be quite different since they will be visible with this type of cut. In this case, it is recommended to favor a so-called two-step buzz cut. That is to say, we keep a length of 10 to 15 millimeters for the hair on top while the transition to the sides is shorter.

How quickly does a buzz cut grow back?
Because hair typically grows back up to 0.4 millimeters every day, or about 1 cm per month. This means that it takes 4 weeks for the buzz cut to grow back and you only need to top it up once a month.
If you are one of those who prefer to get rid of their tuft to be more casual, you can take advantage of the spring season or the beginning of summer to try this cut. Your hair will grow back when needed to be ready for the fall and winter seasons.
