Low skin fade with a tight buzz cut
Extremely short uniform straight-haired buzz top, very low broad skin fade around the whole sides and back. Compare the front, both side references and rear view to discuss the outline with your barber.
What to ask your barber
I would like a low skin fade with a tight buzz cut. Keep the tight buzz cut shown here, and agree the retained length before cutting. Let’s agree where the fade sits, how much skin or short hair is visible, and how it connects to the top. Check the other side and back together before cutting.

- Rinse or wash as needed and dry gently; a close buzz needs little daily shaping.
- Leave the very short top natural. Styling product is optional rather than necessary for hold.
- Keep a reference of the edge and fade height for your next barber tidy-up.
