Should i buzz cut my hair?

[Itsabingthing2]

I need some advice please. I'm a woman & I've been wanting to buzz cut my hair ever since lockdown started & I'm really tempted to do it.
I'm just worried I won't suit it & I'll look like a complete prat & my 2 year old won't recognise me. He's only ever seen me wirh should length hair.
Should I do it?

I wish, wish, wish I could do this. I saw a woman with a buzz cut just today and she looked amazing. I'd look like Phil Mitchell though.

@JesusinTheCabbageVan that's what I'm worried about, I don't want it so short where I'm bold but a 12mil cut.

Do it!

You can avoid looking like Phil Mitchell by making sure your eyebrows are well shaped and defined.

I went from bra length hair to a pixie cut last year and my 1 & 2 year olds didn’t bat an eyelid.

@TerribleCustomerCervix Eeeekkk! Thanks for the advice! I'll let you know if I have the guys to go through with it! 😘

Guts

I love it but I'd look awful.

IME you need to wear good make up after.

Maybe start off with an undercut? I’ve got long hair with a shorn nape and it’s a joy to always have a breezy neck. Lots of cool undercut ideas on Pinterest and Instagram.

I've done a whole tonne of stupid shit with my hair over the years, and y'know what, it's always grown out ;)

So even if it is a huge mistake, you're really only talking a few months till it's recovering

I'm definitely in the "do it" camp. I've never done mine, but I'm tempted in this heat... I hate a sweaty hairline.

I would definitely go with buzzing both sides first and see if you like it.

@MrsTerryPratchett that's what I'm worried about! It'll look awful 😩 @StoodOnALine & Thor Full I don't know if I have the guts! Xxxx

Doooooo it! I did it and loved it!

Just buzzed my 2 year olds hair too, I don't want to look like a complete idiot copying him!

I did it 2nd week of our lockdown was amazing! Don't care if it suited me or not! What I wanted to do! Alot of people were surprised. But 🤷‍♀️ My hair has grown back nicely.

Username is gone really? Eeeek super tempted now, I'll let you know if I go through with it, if I do, it'll be tonight 😊 😘 xxxxx

Thank you so much for everyone's feedback & encouragement ☺️😄

I've had a buzz cut before and I've never worn more than eyeliner

I’ve had a No 4 (13mm) all over before now - loved how easy it was to shower and go in the morning. Mascara is as much as I ever do with make up.

I’m growing it out now and my DCs aren’t keen, as they haven’t seen me with hair for donkeys years.

I don't know now, hubby told me I'll look like a dick 😑😕😳

If my husband said that to me, it definitely do it ;)

Presumably he cuts his hair how he wants, without consulting you?

Seriously, if it's a totally disaster, buy a lovely hat

I'm eyeing my husband's buzzer now... he just taught me how to use it on my son...

I don't think I'd ever do it myself but when I see women with a buzz cut I think they look awesome! It often makes their faces look even more feminine like their bone structure is more defined.

Ooh can you share some pics of examples you like plus info on your natural hair texture, to get some ideas and advice on here?

I don't know 😒🙁

I'm totally confused by the number too!

Confused by the numbers, like how long is a number 4 etc. Xxxx

It'd be good to get an idea in your head of whether you mean an actual buzz cut or more a short pixie... are any of these anything like what you have in mind?
