    Why choose a buzz haircut with a beard?

     

    Before diving into how to achieve the men’s buzz cut with a beard, let’s talk about what the buzz cut hairstyle with a beard is and why it has become increasingly popular. 

     

    The buzz cut has remained the go-to hairstyle for those who want to attain that sleek yet striking appearance. While there are various types of buzz cuts, this hairstyle typically involves keeping the hair short, often using electric clippers to trim it uniformly close to the scalp. 

     

    However, it’s the combination of minimalist hairstyles like the buzz cut and beard that has become the trend of the year. The buzz haircut with a beard is one of the most compatible grooming style combinations. Not only does it add depth to your face, creating a balanced look that highlights your facial features, but the beard with a buzz cut is very easy to maintain.

    Buzz cut and beard styles 

     

    Wondering which buzz cut and beard styles you could try for yourself? There are plenty of variations for this combo, along with different beard styles for a buzz cut. If you’re not sure which beard type best complements your buzz cut, here are some of the most sought-after beard styles with buzz cut to consider: 

     

    • Light Beard: The light beard with a buzz cut is perfect for those seeking a low-maintenance look, as the short length means you don’t have to worry about styling it every day. It can even enhance your facial features, giving your jawline a perfectly defined look.
    • Chinstrap beard: This style, which lacks a moustache, is the ideal choice for anyone wanting to accentuate their jawline, especially if they have a strong one. Pairing a chinstrap beard with a buzz cut will highlight this feature perfectly, however, achieving this look requires both precision and skill. With the Philips Beardtrimmer 9000 Prestige, you can attain unmatched precision and consistent trimming results.
    • Short buzz cut with long beard: The short buzz cut with a long, bushy beard is probably one of the best beards for buzz cut and is sure to turn heads. Just keep in mind that heavy facial hair will require some maintenance, so don’t forget to use a quality beard oil and check our guide on how to take care of your beard.
    • Fade buzz cut with short beard: If you want to take the buzz cut and beard combo to the next level, the fade buzz cut with a short beard is the way to go. Perfect for men with round faces, the clean edges of this look go hand in hand with a short, boxed beard.

    How to achieve the buzz cut and beard look

     

    Now that we have covered the different beard styles with buzz cuts, and the rising popularity of men’s buzz cuts with beards, it’s time to discover how to achieve this year’s trendy look: 

     

    1. Firstly, wash and dry your hair.
    2. Make sure to have a mirror on hand, as you will need to check the sides and back of your head.
    3. Grab your hair clippers and start by attaching a longer guard. Trim one side of your hair against the direction of hair growth. How short you go depends on your preference, so be mindful of how much hair you’re cutting!
    4. Trim in smooth, even strokes, covering the side of your head before moving to the other side.
    5. Next, move to the back of your head, continuing with the same even motions. It’s a good idea to tilt your mirror to ensure an even trim.
    6. Tidy up the edges for a sharp finish and do a final check in the mirror to make sure you haven’t left any uneven spots.

     

    Once you have your buzz cut sorted, it’s time to focus on choosing the ideal beard style for the buzz cut. If you’re opting for a short buzz cut with a long beard, the most important aspect is ensuring you take good care of your beard, so be sure to check out our tips on how to grow a full beard
