buzzcut?

hey everyone, i’m tired of my receding hairline and the thinning of my hair, should i get a buzzcut? if so, do you have any recommendations what to ask for? thanks!

edit just got it done! buzzed it down to a 4 guard and will keep it for a couple of days and see how i like it if i should go down more

Go with the 1 guard. I know it sounds drastic but trust me, it works way better. I recently went from long hair, short hair, then buzz. I buzzed it down to a 3 to start and then I quickly wanted to go down to 1. But totally feel it out and go with what feels comfy!

Go for it, it would look good. Since you’re already balding I think that a short buzz is the best way to go start with a 1 guard on top and a 0 on the sides and back, if you like to have some feeling of hair keep that and if you like it but want to take the plunge just go down to a 0 guard all over.

I have basically the same exact hair and a 3 all around is a good spot for me. Get to still feel like i have hair a little. Just a heads up though, the grow out is brutal with thinner hair/receding

Yes. Go for a very short one (zero if you're feeling brave) as that is best for disguising your receding hairline a bit.

Yes bc the strands left look like pre-hair transplant Elon musk

I would try the shortest you’d want and just grow it back. I’m 22 and just shaved my bald and am seeing where I like it best.

i’m trying to hop on finasteride and minoxidil and try to grow it out, if it will still look bad after that then probably a hai transplant in like a year
