What is a buzz cut?
The buzz cut (or buzzcut, wiffle cut) is basically a collective term for short "buzzed" hairstyles, or in other words, razor-short hair. The buzz cut is the hairstyle that just might become your best friend, especially in the summer! With a buzz cut you can walk out the door without even looking in the mirror. Your hairstyle is always right. That is why the buzz cut is traditionally a real Marine hairstyle. The buzz cut is easy to keep up and goes great with almost any face shape. Looking for a haircut that exudes confidence and is very practical? Then look no further, because your answer is: the buzz cut!
What should you pay attention to?
Have you never had a buzz cut before? Then you will notice that you will be extra cold in spring and autumn. Are you saying goodbye to your longer haircut before summer starts? Then we recommend that you apply a little sunscreen to your head to prevent scalp burn - which is seeing sunlight for the first time. Do you have scars or dents on your head? If so, keep in mind that these will become visible.

Styling tips: the do's & don'ts of the buzz cut
With the buzz cut, it is important to find the right length. Keep it short and sleek for a challenging look, or slightly longer for a relaxed look. Brush your hair from front to back for extra control and smoothness. For example, rub a little cream through your hair for a sophisticated finishing touch! It is also important with the buzz cut to keep it in good length, this prevents your hairstyle from looking unkempt. So get your hair trimmed regularly at the hairdresser's, once every 2 or 3 weeks is sufficient. Of course, you can also maintain your buzz cut hairstyle yourself. In this case, first make sure your hair is clean and dry. Wet hair sticks together, making it not only difficult to get a nice result, but you also risk clogging the clippers.
Masking styling
Basically, you don't need any styling for the buzz cut. Buzz cut hairstyles are often used when the hair starts to fall out a bit or when the hair turns gray. Then a masking product is recommended.

The best styling products for texture and hold.
If your buzz cut gets a little longer, then it's nice to have a product on hand that keeps the hairstyle sleek and neat. You then get a little more texture and perhaps a little shine in your hair. A texture and hold styling completes your hairstyle then. For this we recommend the following products:
