Shaving my head to show you a DIY Buzz Cut (with clipper length examples & guide!)

I’m shaving my head. Well, I shaved my head.

Well, I gave myself a buzz cut, to be more specific.

But instead of just leaving it at that, I wanted to provide a resource for anyone else (girls or guys) looking for examples of the different clipper lengths and what they look like on a real, live head. I looked for some kind of clipper length guide before buzzing my own hair off myself, and couldn’t find but TWO videos showing semi-decent comparisons (one was a burly bearded man, the other was a fake-haired mannequin)!

So I decided to share my experience doing a DIY buzz cut at home (yes, as a girl) so I could create this resource and show you what clippers #6 through #2 look like…

Ya know, in case you want to join the buzz cut fam.

So, I know what you may be thinking: another girl shaving her head…

Why are girls shaving their heads? Is this some kind of movement? Are women trying to put across some message of empowerment or something similar by chopping off their hair so drastically?

Honestly, I have no idea. You’d have to ask each female who decided to shave or buzz their hair, because I’m sure each answer or reason would be different. I can tell you my answer to all that which is.. Nope. I just really felt like it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

That said, I also made a video sharing 10 of the reasons why I shaved my head… and why you may want to, too. Spoiler: My main reason is (see above) I really just wanted to (riveting, I know).

Despite that, I can recognize that my answer isn’t detailed enough for the majority of people asking the question who want to learn more. So, here are ten reasons that support my main reason to why I decided to shave my hair off as a girl.. er, woman.. okay, female.

 

Are you thinking of shaving off your long locks? Do you know anyone who has given themselves this dubbed “quarantine cut” – whether female or male? Can you relate to my reasons for giving myself a buzzcut at home?

Leave me a comment on YouTube for either video and let’s discuss it 😻
