But by no means will these trends guarantee one a sufficient amount of style that can only come from mining self-exploration and cultivating charisma but what are we certain of? That the DIY buzz cut is safe for any kind of hair, it balances thinning out by sharpening focus up top or preventing mushrooming on men who are hirsute up north.

The final clincher: all you need are #2, #1 and #7 blades, a dozen clips, and the dexterity skills of a teenager (one will get an abrupt fade) or a commercial pilot (the holy grail gradual one).

Continue scrolling down for five of our grails to maintain the style.

Augustinus Bader The Shampoo
The brand calls it The Shampoo for a reason: it softens, stimulates, conditions, volumes, deflakes, and reduces shedding in just one wash. Now imagine what it can do with a week’s worth of usage.

Aveda Nutriplenish™ Treatment Masque Light Moisture
The style brings full attention to one’s features and unfortunately, scalp health too. This five-minute mask infuses the often-sensitive skin with the right amount of hydration to keep things light and easy up there.

Beyond Angel Aqua Moisture Sun Cream SPF 50+ and PA+++
Your scalp needs sun protection too: spread two to three fingers worth of this lightweight cream and first, enjoy its cooling sensation. Next, enjoy sun protection while admiring how much softer your scalp feels.

L’Occitane Dry Shampoo Mist
The thing about the DIY buzz cut is that your haircare routine is shaved down to just a few seconds. Minus a few more with this silicone-free dry shampoo that cleanses without leaving flakes or crustiness.

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil Reparative Styling
Whether you’re looking to moisturise and soothe the scalp or encourage haste with new growth, this lightweight oil does the most thanks to a potent blend of grape seed oil, fermented green tea, and obviously, Olaplex.
