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

posted by JonnyE, 25.07.2007, 23:34

ť I've been 'buzzing' my hair since about Freshmen year in High School. Back
ť then and for years I would usually put on a 3/4 inch or 1 inch clipper
ť length, and just run it across my entire head. That worked great until my
ť hairline started to recede a couple years ago, because using the same
ť clipper length also reveals exactly just how much your hairline has
ť receded. So, to help keep the appearance of my original hairline I
ť developed a technique that actually worked, pretty simple, I would use a
ť slightly shorter clipper-length everywhere on my head other than the
ť temple region, and for the temple area would use a slightly longer length.
ť So for example 3/4 or 1/2 inch setting everywhere but the temple region,
ť and perhaps a 1 inch setting on the temple area. This allows to give the
ť appearance of a more normal or 'non-receding' hairline, while at the same
ť time, the 1/4 or 1/2 inch length difference is not noticable to the naked
ť eye, people can't really tell the temple area is actually a bit longer--
ť at least with my hair they can't.
ť
ť That technique worked great for a while, until inevitably my temple region
ť started to be diffuse to the point that this technique couldn't really hide
ť my hairline recession as well as it used to. So as every balding man has a
ť problem with, it's not very easy to figure out the best Hair Style route
ť for my overall appearance nowadays. Lately I've been growing out the top
ť slightly longer to get more coverage in the temple regions, and cutting
ť the sides shorter. This works out o.k.-- and will for a bit longer until
ť the temples are gone.
ť
ť My great hair days are behind me-- and now it's just a matter of doing the
ť best you can with what you've got, I'm sure you all can relate.
ť
ť Not that I expect any response to this posting-- but anyone else have some
ť good Clipper or Bic Razor hair-styling techniques or stories to tell? I
ť remember thinking as a kid and still do for the most-part, that balding
ť men always look better with shaved heads or very closely cropped heads.
ť
ť I think I'll end up doing the Bic Razor across the scalp look, completely
ť clean shaved. Problem is it's risky!-- I've got lighter skin, and with my
ť 'corporate' job, especially being in a customer-facing role, I need to look
ť as sharp as possible. I don't really have time for that experiment!

I dont if buzzcuts really needs its own forum
