What to tell your stylist

“I’d like a buzz cut, the same length all over with clippers. Let’s start with a #3 guard and go shorter if needed. Please clean up the nape and around the ears, and keep the hairline natural.”

Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

Why choose it

  • Zero styling
  • Makes thinning hair less noticeable
  • A fast, bold base for trying colors

Keep in mind

About Buzz Cut

A buzz cut is usually done with a single clipper guard, most commonly between a #1 and a #4. The higher the number, the fuller the hair looks. Some people take the sides one number shorter for a subtle fade. Head shape and hairline become fully visible with this cut.

It looks strong and balanced on oval, square and diamond faces, bringing out a defined jaw and cheekbones. On thinning hair, the short length can make gaps less noticeable than longer hair does. Paired with platinum, silver or orange, a buzz cut becomes one of the fastest bold transformations around.

Which clipper guard should I choose for a buzz cut?

If it’s your first time, a #3 or #4 is a safe start, and you can go shorter later. Very short guards show the scalp and make your head shape more pronounced.

What’s the difference between a buzz cut and a shaved head?

With a buzz cut, there is still short hair and the hairline stays visible. A shaved head removes the hair completely, leaving a smooth scalp. Try both on the same photo to see which suits your face.
