I think I need to do this. I hate doing to get a haircut and they never listen to me. I’m sure I’ll look horrible in a buzz cut but at least it removes their freedom to do worse and shorter means I can go less often

Best part about the buzz cut is you could do it at home.

Plus I bet it will look better on you than you think :)

It really depends on your hair. My buzzcut looks awkward for a week or two but having the hair all grow back the same length makes it look a lot better down the road. I have also been blessed with the thick kind of hair everyone seems to like so maybe this isn't the way everyone should do it.

I mean that’s the actual problem I have: no longer have that thick hair. It started thinning out early and now it’s unavoidable. The thing is every barber or stylist wants to give me a combover despite me clearly saying not to from the beginning, and making them go back to fix it when I notice they did it anyway

But combovers only have a short window where they can reduce the obviousness of thinning hair, and quickly just call attention to it. It’s way too late for a combover to look reasonable on me, it just looks desperate and cringey.

I have to admit to some minor amusement when I wake up with a weird Mohawk though
