Not a whole Lot Going on In here...Buzz Cut Forum (Shaved Heads & Buzz Cut)
Post reply

I've been 'buzzing' my hair since about Freshmen year in High School. Back then and for years I would usually put on a 3/4 inch or 1 inch clipper length, and just run it across my entire head. That worked great until my hairline started to recede a couple years ago, because using the same clipper length also reveals exactly just how much your hairline has receded. So, to help keep the appearance of my original hairline I developed a technique that actually worked, pretty simple, I would use a slightly shorter clipper-length everywhere on my head other than the temple region, and for the temple area would use a slightly longer length. So for example 3/4 or 1/2 inch setting everywhere but the temple region, and perhaps a 1 inch setting on the temple area. This allows to give the appearance of a more normal or 'non-receding' hairline, while at the same time, the 1/4 or 1/2 inch length difference is not noticable to the naked eye, people can't really tell the temple area is actually a bit longer-- at least with my hair they can't.

That technique worked great for a while, until inevitably my temple region started to be diffuse to the point that this technique couldn't really hide my hairline recession as well as it used to. So as every balding man has a problem with, it's not very easy to figure out the best Hair Style route for my overall appearance nowadays. Lately I've been growing out the top slightly longer to get more coverage in the temple regions, and cutting the sides shorter. This works out o.k.-- and will for a bit longer until the temples are gone.

My great hair days are behind me-- and now it's just a matter of doing the best you can with what you've got, I'm sure you all can relate.

Not that I expect any response to this posting-- but anyone else have some good Clipper or Bic Razor hair-styling techniques or stories to tell? I remember thinking as a kid and still do for the most-part, that balding men always look better with shaved heads or very closely cropped heads.

I think I'll end up doing the Bic Razor across the scalp look, completely clean shaved. Problem is it's risky!-- I've got lighter skin, and with my 'corporate' job, especially being in a customer-facing role, I need to look as sharp as possible. I don't really have time for that experiment!

I was thinking of shaving my head as well but I will wait it out yet until the toxic effects of years of shampooing eventually go away and regrowth kicks in.

I have been using WAHL balding clippers for the last three months.They get the hair right down,just a shadow left.
The big problem is you have to keep clippering every couple of days,but I do prefer it to a thin hair look.

GOOD LUCK!
