So you want to shave your head? Good on you!
A shaved head can add a rugged, tough edge to any guy’s style – all without a change to his wardrobe. Plus, the upkeep is impossibly easy: just don’t let your hair get too long. Here are some of the guys who have nailed it:
Kanye West
Kanye’s signature is a cool, super-short buzz. You’ll never see it grow to a point of pull-able.
Russell Westbrook
Westbrook opts for the subtle fade here. It’s a great look if you like the idea of a high-and-tight, but don’t want something too severe.
Young David Beckham rocked an induction cut (named for the style worn by military recruits). It’s the shortest you can go without going full scalp.
Michael B. Jordan
Another take on a fade, but a little more severe—the most dramatic part is shaved down to his scalp.
Justin Timberlake
JT’s burr cut (a little denser than a total buzz) has a cool shape to it. Have fun with the lengths and edges as you please.
Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas is verging into butch territory here, a flavour of buzz cut that gives you a quarter of an inch of length. Good for exploring a shorter style.
Zayn Malik
Zayn Malik’s (very blond) buzz is a bold style move, if you’re into making a statement with your grooming.
Idris Elba
Idris Elba, the man who makes every hair style, length, and cut look perfected. Here, his is a longer type of buzz, perhaps a burr grown out a little. It works.
And Brad Pitt, with another take on a long-ish buzzcut. Perfect for easy styling, but not too harsh.
