Haircut/Buzzcut Update

[Kayman]

Ill post pics soon, Im gonna buzz this down to a Grade 2 in the next week. Would you still use Minox and Fin to thicken, maintain it in the long run?

You could use rogaine foam it would be easy to apply and might thicken your stubble up, fin I wouldn't use for stubble it's just not worth it in my opinion. Bare in mind both could cause an initial shed before you see any benefits.

Good for you Exodus, I am thinking of buzzing down again as well. I think I am gonna start with a 2. Takes a lot of balls, so well done mate!!!

[Exodus]

Thanks dude. Yeah I felt it had to be done. I wanted a 'final solution' which it hasn't quite given me. I'm gonna bring it down a grade next week or so and maybe try Minox to thicken it. But either way this is the look Im having now, it ain't gonna grow any longer!

Question: do you guys line up your hairline after you cut your hair down to guard 1 or 2?

[Exodus]

Oddly I've retained my hairline which is a bonus, it's behind it has diffused a lot (hence the buzz).

I don't understand the question Dex?

Do you mean shave the front of the hairline to make it look straighter?

Yes, lining up the hairline to make it look straight. Check out the link above. I used to do this when I buzzed my hair. I would shave down the little beach fuzz hairs on my temples.

[Breaking Bald]

Ah right, got ya. Nah, I never did, but I guess it's not a bad idea. But my temples are pretty far receded, but I might try this to make it look better.

Well as promised here are some pics. Bear in mind this is a Grade 3 on top 2 on the sides. Im gonna gradually buzz it down to Grade 2 top, 1 sides, and then just 1 all over.








Alongside this Im gonna start Fin at 0.5mg or 0.25mg EOD. Reckon thats a good dosage to maintain a thickened buzz look?

[Morbo]

Looks great man. You definitely got the head/face shape for it.
I wouldn't worry about it. I think you could even try 2 top 2 side next time, but that's just my opinion.

I think the first month is a lot about getting used to the new style.

[Exodus]

That was in dark light, under bright light, you can make out a Norwood pattern...

Reckon a low fin dosage would maintain it?

[dex89]

I think Fin will maintain it and possibly thicken your hair.

[Breaking Bald]

Looks fine man, much better than trying to grow it out I would say. I also just buzzed my hair again, 2 on the top and a 1 on the sides.

I tried a 2 all over but when I did that, it highlighted that the top of my head is diffusing.

[Exodus]

Thats how it looks on mine, you can tell the top of the head is diffusing pretty obviously. Im gonna get it shorter either Friday or next week, so how low I can go before its acceptable.

Deffo looks far better than when you had longer hair imo
