What an interesting video! Yes, I too was looking for a tutorial - a "how" video - BUT (I do wish I could italicize on here...) quickly realised that this "why" video was equally important, and should precede the "how". He makes some really interesting points that I just hadn't thought about and which will now influence my decision-making. Many thanks to the maker of this.
In the time I’ve been quarantined I’ve watched pretty much every video you’ve posted and I’m thankful that I have. I’ve been barbering for five years now and have always been insecure of my cutting because “everyone has cleaner lines” than me or “their fade is more blended” or whatever I see that makes their cut different than mine. So that’s all I’ve focussed on for the past 3 years at least. I now know that I need to work on who is in my chair. The individual. Haircuts are so subjective and that’s not a bad thing. You’re the man and thanks again for helping me study during this time out of the shop 🙏🏻
Thank you for making buzz cuts approachable and full of depth instead of being a one-size fits all approach. I never realized how texture in a buzz actually can add to it - how messy can be a good pairing with your actual clothing... While it may be obvious to a lot of people this gave me good basic understanding of the fact pairings exist for a reason.
always a pleasure to see you talking about hair. you made me see that it's not about "perfection" all the time. once you understand the things, you can "mess it up". greetings from Brazil and the best wishes for you and everybody there in USA.
I know I'm late to the party and you probably won't see this comment, but this was an awesome video and you helped me to understand what I like and hate about a buzz cut. It's actually a hair style I like a lot but when I get it I'm often not very happy. Here's the story: COVID Lockdown last year, my hair is crazy so I have my wife do her first ever haircut on my head. #8 on top, #6 into a #3 on the sides. I'm looking through some pictures recently and see it and think "who did that haircut? It's the best buzz I ever had". Then I realized it was my wife. She didn't line things up perfectly. She didn't square up the sides. She left it soft and imperfect because that's all she could do and it looked great. I'm going to the barber shop tomorrow armed with that pic and the info you shared to get the buzz again. I'd have my wife do it but it was pretty nervy for both of us and I don't want to tempt fate. If the barber can do as good a job as my wife did on her first attempt I'll be ecstatic. You gave me the vocabulary to explain what I like about it. Thanks!!
Damn. This video gives me the confidence I needed to try a buzz cut for the first time! Now I know what to look out for when I get it. Thank you so much!
Excellent video. The military look part is interesting, because I am quite pro-military, but I have noticed that when I went for a military haircut (#0 fade and buzzcut), I got many weird looks from normal people, and girls especially were not fond of it (even scared). It really put in perspective the negative view lots of people have about the military & soldiers.
I’ve got no beef with military, I’m one of those people who thanks a soldier when I meet them. I only mentioned it here in the video because when my clients ask to go short they often specify that they don’t want to look like they’re in the military 🤷♂️
@@andrewdoeshair Don't worry, I never implied you were anti-military. I was just agreeing that the military look can be off-putting with many people. Personally I like the haircuts because they are so practical for a man (no styling needed). But they are also scary to many people. Especially the more extreme cuts (high & tight).
@@elbabatunde8580 Yes indeed. Going for a slightly longer buzzcut and fade really works better. Too short buzzcut and you look like skinhead, at least that's what people told me (that I look radical).
thank you so much man i recently got a buzzcut and i have a spiral that i thought looked wierd but thanks to you ive accepted it as a charasteristic not an imperfection. Thank you!
In short have a good face & skull If not hope is not lost 1. Grow a beard (stubble can be fine too) 2. Blend it in 3. Find the right guard for you (I'd recommend a 1 but you can start from 3) 4. Get used to it. Most of the time, you actually do look good, but you're not used to it so you feel ugly 5. Wear a nice suit (wearing a suit with buzz cut is super sexy)
A guy really has to have a lot of things going for him to look good in a buzz cut. A low forehead and nicely shaped skull, a complete hairline, the right hair texture, nice features, specifically big eyes. For example the model at timeline 9:09.
First time seeing one your videos. I'm a 44yo woman who recently buzzed my shoulder length hair. This has really helped me understand what I don't like about my current hair, how to address it, and how to own it. Really great advice and info. I don't know where you are, but I wish you were my hairdresser! Lol
To know whether or not the buzz cut will suit you Just cut your sides the length you want all-over. You can then tell whether or not it will suit you. If the short sides look good, then go for it. If the 0 guard sides look good, then all above will look good as well :)
If you would worry so much about whether you should do it, probably a buzz cut is not for you. Just do it and don't bother. Thats the thing about a buzz cut anyway......
My hair was pretty damaged from bleach / teasing when I had a mohawk, so I buzzed it all off a few weeks ago with a #2. Then I bleached it again, dyed it a color to placate myself, cried, got over it. At which point I shaved it down to the skin to let my natural hair grow back in. LEMME TELL YA. I'm past the voldemort phase but it's not yet long enough to have any kind of style. Here are my tips: 1. Bought a pretty silk scarf in my favorite color, I wear that a lot. 2. Statement sunglasses! Also very fun. 3. Making peace with my face 4. If anybody won't be into me because my hair looks wack right now, they don't love me for me LMAO
Would buzzing my hair with a #4 or #5 guard then scissor over comb cut it to a #3-ish length be a reasonable request for my barber? Or is that too short to scissor cut at that length?
Depends on the barber. A lot of them can do bald fades with scissors, but a lot think it’s a waste of time to go so short with scissors (as clippers can do it faster and the results are so subtly different)
50% is looks , 50% is swag son. If you think it's game over, then it is. Tommy Lee WITH hair looks like a drug addict but has been with women who could take their pick.
Instructions and advice for professionals...which we can’t access right now. I need instructions to give to my wife on buzzing my head...not sure of the point of this.
Don't stress the details and aim for perfection, because imperfection can look cool, and a home haircut isn't likely to end up perfect anyways. Don't try to take the short sides up too high if you're worried you'll look too "military." try using the clippers in the same direction of the growth first, to take off less hair and leave a softer look, then go against the grain if you want it tighter and cleaner.
Where the heck are all the good barbers like you? All I got are places like cost cutters, master cuts, sports clips. Sports clips actually always has had exceptional skill levels of barbers, however still nothing like on haircutting type youtube channels. The only places that get specialized are ones that do street/urban haircuts, which don't work for skinny white red headed dudes, lol.
Sorry, back when I made this video I didn’t realize how much the title sounded like it might be a tutorial 😂 I swear it wasn’t deliberate click bait or anything, I’m just dumb 🤪

Ok
good so u dont think ur ugly
Every video he makes he is just casually flooding us with advanced knowledge on deep understanding of hair... the man is really good at what he does.
Agreed. Put it perfectly, matey
How to make a buzzcut look cool?: Have a good face.
And a good hair line.
True
Randy Marsh Point is; don’t get a buzzcut if you don’t have a good face.
@@Zac_LDN nah sometimes a bad hairline makes you look good too, but then you need a decent looking face lol
@@Zac_LDN my hairline just says no to this haircut😡😡
Step 1: Have a good 𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆
And head 😑

You need at least one of this 3:
1) Good looking face
2) Good hairline
3) Good facial structure with jawline
I got 2 n 3
I have nice eyebrows I think buzzing would help me show them off. Especially without my long hair in front of my eye brows
@@desireandfire ive got 3.5 head . really nice eyebrows . And high cheekbones better than my jawline so my face looks like an oval
I look like shit, but I'm just thinking, why not?
I got 1 so nope
The way this man articulates is phenomenal. Wish he was my Barber.

I showed this video to my barber for buzz.
Barber: let's meet Brad first.
Andrew, One of the Original Minds in the business of Hair. Thanks mate, wonderful information. Keep going on.
dude really speaking hairstyle philosophy 101 right here 😂 dopee bro

🤙🤟 thanks bro
Jeez so you saying dude didn’t get to the point until 10 minutes in💀
i mean he gave a lot of good tips/advice in that 10 minutes

Get your wife to follow Brad Mondo's short haircut tutorial. It's really really good.
Why not have your wife do it again
This is a different perspective that we don’t usually think about of. I loved it so much! Thank you!
And brad pitt is hunk in fight club. Not just his hair. His body also matches that buzz cut. It also adds to the manliness.
Damn. This video gives me the confidence I needed to try a buzz cut for the first time! Now I know what to look out for when I get it. Thank you so much!

I definitely got less action with my military buzz, but then when I could fade it and have it slightly longer on top, I looked 1000x more attractive

This is rad man. Makes me want to buzz my head. Great views thanks for sharing with us
In short have a good face & skull

This video has been EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much for your interesting and unique approach on this topic.
Great video.
Good information
One of the best videos on buzz cut👍
Straight facts andrew! And beard looks awesome
you are very insightful. These are exactly the thoughts i have before a buzzcut XD
I enjoy the lesson.. Brad Pitt photo was a total James Dean...
This is true. I bet if they were celebrities no one will be that obsessed
man, thank you so much for sharing this tips, helped me a lot in choosing a hairstyle that fits me!
Eae qual corte você fez
Great content. Putting out more videos, keep working on it and Im sure your channel will blow up

freaking loved the video and the philosophy in it!
Very nuanced analysis, thanks!

I like the fight club reference with brad pitt photo 😁👌very well done hahaha
Thank you...this makes me think...
If u are not fat and don't have a too round face, you should be ok
Not for nothin but I thought John Marstons buzzcut in Red Dead Redemption 2 looked amazing and that’s the only reason I’m thinkin bout this lol
Half the video is Drew talking about Brad Pitt. Some did happen between them, we need to know what happened.
Damn, that was such a nice video. Keep it up!
Man, I have been rocking a man bun for about a year, and I am so close to buzzing it of, because I am kind of annoyed by it...
This guy is knowledgeable !! Awesome.
Every bloke getting a corona buzz cut now

thank you.wow learned so much
Watching this video & ive just buzzed my head guard 2 from around 3 inches long. 👍
my guy has a point
I love this guy please come to uk and be my barber
I think you should just reference the owner of the picture in the description and you should be fine.
Would buzzing my hair with a #4 or #5 guard then scissor over comb cut it to a #3-ish length be a reasonable request for my barber? Or is that too short to scissor cut at that length?

gives me Tom Ford vibes
Who’s the guy in the thumbnail
Lol I really don’t see too many buzzcuts in the military 💁🏻♀️
Katie J buzz cuts are the standard default haircut in the military. You can’t ask for anything else. It’s a mandatory procedure.
Its mostly bald around and like a 2 or 3 on the top.
Shaved heads or high military cuts 🙌
I have a big nose, should I get a buzzy
Who wanted to nail Michael’s look? Come in beside me baby
My mother forced me to buzz my hair and I feel so shit😔
Just make it imperfect and you will look like bradd Pitt!
*Meanwhile looks like Edward Scissorhand with short hair*
Is that Pep Guardiola in the thumbnail with hair
Brad Pitt is everything
Amazing content ❤ thank you
