This kind of haircut is one of the simplest and easiest ones out there. Clients often get this one mixed up with a 1-blade or 0.5-blade skin fade. The two are very separate; if not explained properly to a beginner barber, this can be a bit confusing.
So for starters, this kind of haircut is simply taking the clipper and cutting down the hair to any level under a number 2 blade. There is no fade with this kind of Haircut, except in a few instances when the barber has to use his judgement and clean up any extra hair to get the cut all even. One crucial fact to note is that some hair types are different and a client can request to go with the grain, this technique is often used with African American or curly hair types, hence it’s quite normal and would still be considered a buzz cut as long as there is no fade involved.
I would definitely recommend this kind of haircut to parents who have young boys who don’t really like to sit for a longer period in a barber’s chair and also to the average gentleman who just wants to keep it simple. This can be a very low-maintenance haircut; one can just wake up in the morning, take a shower, give your hair a quick and easy wash then style. In most cases, this kind of haircut can also be on the cheaper end or at a discounted price.
