The best spring buzz cuts for different face shapes
Buzz cuts are the must-have style for mens haircuts in Kitsilano this spring. These handsome short cuts are low maintenance and easy care. Plus they can be adjusted to accommodate any face shape. So, whether you have a round face, a square face, or a diamond-shaped face, you will look and feel great with a buzz cut customized just for you.
Types of buzz cuts
Induction cut: shortest of the buzz cuts with hair cut evenly all around.
Butch cut: Top is longer than the sides and equal length from front to back.
Crew cut: Top is longer than the sides and longer in the front than the back.
Round faces have softer angles and full cheeks. Balance this face shape by adding height. A crew cut or butch cut looks fantastic. Add a fade on the sides for a slimming effect. (A beard will help to define the lower half of the face.) Avoid induction cuts as these exaggerate round shapes.
Oval faces are the most versatile and balanced, being neither too soft nor too angular. Long induction cuts look good with this shape as do crew cuts. Tapering the sides is very complementary. Another option is to add a little height with a quiff. Tie the whole look together with a short beard or stubble.
Square faces are as wide as they are tall, with strong foreheads and jawlines. These faces look good with an induction cut a.k.a. the traditional military buzz cut. Optionally, you can choose to soften the angles and add more height to the top with a quiff and side part.
Rectangle faces are taller than they are wide. You don’t want to add extra height, so keep the sides longer to add width, and texturize the top.
These are just a few of the different face shapes. There’s also heart, diamond and triangular faces that sport their own unique buzz cut variation.
