What is a Buzz Cut?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When Nikola Bizumic (1823 -1906) introduced the manual clipper, commonly accepted as the hand-held razor (now we use electric clippers), Great Britain immediately understood the value and implications, especially in military and sanitary practices. And in a short span of time Europe fancied the same tool as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buzz Cut or Wiffle Cut became a common and practical approach to haircut style with the use of this manual or hand-held razor. Yes! no scissors or blade, just the clipper alone. Easy and fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Buzz Cut manages a thin layer of hair that conforms to the shape of the head,<\/strong> or as if this thin layer embraces the head. Depending on the clipper’s guard size you can taper the sides and back into a short, semi-short, or medium cut<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Types of Buzz Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n

Most of the types the buzz cut is shaped into are based on geometrical cuts best compatible with the shape and size of the head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here we will see the most commonly applied styles of buzz cut – the screw cut, flattop, faded, and a street term, which is military cut. But these are all in the days of the past. Today, as fashion has transformed the haircut discipline into a more complex interpretation of human expression and body language, new subtle categories emerge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Blonde Buzz Cut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A leading cut is a blonde where the cut and the use of a guard are specially applied to emphasize the complementary relation between the color of the hair and the shape of the head. Commonly, the practice used tells that darker skin tones are best complemented by blonde hair in buzz cut style. But, one may need to consider carefully the subtle styles that fall under the buzz umbrella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blonde buzz cut has been, among all the styles, in the top most prominent and most used styles by a good range in the demographics. People even manage their own skin tone just to fashion a blonde buzz cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Famous rappers, celebrities, music, and sports icons, the military, and even from the clergy have been in this style year on and year out. From students to professionals, eccentric and introverts all practice this type of haircut and hair color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blonde buzz cut seemed to be present in almost all fashion seasons in all fashion cycles. From Southeast Asia to Europe and the Americas – even communist countries know and practice this style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lineup Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This cut emphasizes well-defined cut lines that draw sharp and bends clear angles to see where the hair and exposed skin meet. This is somehow the opposite of the faded buzz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This style of buzz is not for all kinds of faces, this is hard to maintain as the sharp and well-defined line becomes less defined as your hair grows especially when your hair is naturally a curly one. The lineup or lineup buzz is commonly used in more rounded shaped faces<\/strong> to balance and control the aesthetical effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Zero Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Why not just go clean and bald? Well for the precision-conscious dudes, the zero buzz is by its name the most extreme buzz cut. Taking from the clippers with no guards to use, which means zero guards give as much exposure to the scalp as it can get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the thickness of the strand this cut may leave a shadow-like hue. Nevertheless, this style is the gray line between having a completely naked head and a bit shy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Induction Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The induction buzz got its name from the military, with 0.5 guards to the clipper, this style gets the layer cut as thin or as thick as the uniform of the soldier. The induction is most common in the military, government, and sometimes correctional facilities. This style mitigates for a higher hygiene quality and acts as a good measure against lice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Taper Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n

Commonly mistaken as fade but this particular style uses the same guard type of clipper around the head (horizontally). This is a simple buzz, fast and easy to get. Clean enough to be used on both corporate and social approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Knuckle Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Not all men have the same healthy thickness of hair, and the buzz cut sometimes improperly exposes the imminent insufficiencies in some regions. The knuckle buzz, for practical intents and purposes, provides an informal style of handling this using 4 to 5 guards with liberal strokes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most self-applied cuts, one may use the finders and press it on their head and every hair that stands out higher than the finder and up to the knuckles get cut off – hence 4 to 5 guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Skin Fade Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Down the street in the most casual of salons and barbershops, when you request a face cut this may instantly be understood as the skin fade buzz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this cut, from the bottom side and back, no guards will be used to instantly make the skin visible and work on to the top with a 2 or 3 guards depending on how the final cut will compliment the good features of the head from all sides. The skin fade buzz more common among younger generations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Burr Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The burr buzz utilizes 1 guard for the entire head. Usually between 1 or 2 guard types should do it. More applicable for the bearded head, the burr buzz gives a uniform layer of thinness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The High and Tight Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This buzz style is specifically dedicated to making the face look less rounded and gives a sense of height. This buzz cut utilizes 1 to 2 guards up to a higher level in the head, usually to the temple but in a more defined contrast leaves more hair on the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This style manages to position the hair structure to add more volume on top as it reduces volume on the side of the head adding more height to the overall appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Undercut Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n

The top hair usually gets a longer cut or is managed as a brush-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Faded Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The cut starts without guards from the side bottom and back and as it gets higher the guard increases allowing a fading effect starting from a thicker top and going down to a level where the skin is almost visible. This cut sports a more defined cut compared to skin-fade buzz. But most of the time the 2 are considered the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Brush Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The brush cut allows a considerable even cut on the sides and sports a more rounded top. The top looks not uniformly even. The brush cut usually is considered the opposite of the screen cut which highlights a straight or even top. The brush cut is also known for its longer, more liberated top that is <\/strong>easy to comb and flows properly given in any direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Crew Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Not all experts hold the opinion that crew cut falls well within the classification of buzz due to the practice of using guard No. 6 for the clipper which allows longer hair. Nevertheless, the crew cut sports a flat or even-leveled top and a smooth buzz cut on the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crew cut distinct itself as the formal brush cut for the brush cut makes an uneven more rounded top compared to the flat top of the crew cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Jarhead Buzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The jarhead has some military genes in its history. With zero guards on all sides and 1 guard on the top, this marine cut by the street name provides a good emphasis on the shape and features of the head. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you think you have a good-shaped head or a well-sculpted one then this might be a good choice to start with. This gives off a clean but serious take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Know Which Buzz Cut Works Best For You?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Man getting a trendy haircut in the barbershop.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n The fascinating thing about the modern buzz cut is that it provides a good range of subcategories to choose from. Each style of buzz has its own purpose, face, shape, and complexion to highly emphasize. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blonde buzz cut works great with men of the darker complexion while answering which among the subcategories, depended on the objective of the person and specifically the shape and features of the face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To answer this question is not that simple. You have to be with a stylist or a professional barber with good eyes and experience to properly know which style is best suited for you because when you decide on a particular style and you are halfway already but feel the cut is totally not for you, it can’t be undone. You might end up in a zero or induction buzz-though you can wait and let it grow again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
