Buzz cut

A short haircut made by clipping hair to a uniform length with electric clippers. Its close, even finish distinguishes it from tapered or layered cuts.

Hair clipper: An electric grooming device that cuts hair with reciprocating blades. Its moving blades create the short, even cut.
Electric hair clipper: A powered device that cuts hair using moving blades, developed for faster grooming than manual clipping. Electric clippers made uniform short cuts quicker to produce.
Crew cut: A short hairstyle with longer hair on top and tapered sides and back. It shares a close-cropped look but keeps the top longer than a uniform buzz cut.
Shaved head: A hairstyle or condition in which scalp hair is removed or reduced nearly to the skin. It marks the boundary between a close buzz cut and a fully shaved scalp.
Clipper guard: A comb attachment that holds clipper blades away from the scalp to control cutting length. Changing guard size sets the buzz cut’s uniform length.
Manual hair clipper: A hand-operated grooming tool that cuts hair with two reciprocating blades. Manual clippers preceded electric tools for close-cropped haircuts.
High and tight: A military-style haircut with closely shaved sides and a short patch of hair on top. It adapts clipper-short sides into a sharply defined style.
Skinhead: A working-class youth subculture that emerged in Britain in the late 1960s and developed varied political currents. Very short hair became a visible style within this subculture.
Haircutting: The practice of shaping or removing hair with tools such as scissors, razors, or clippers. A buzz cut is a specific haircutting technique.
