One Woman Reveals What It's Really Like to Have a Buzz Cut

-
The buzz cut is no longer exclusive to the bold and daring among us. TBH, it's one of the most talked-about haircuts...and for good reason. It feels like every week another celebrity is stepping out with a shaved head. From Kristen Stewart's peroxide blonde rendition to KeKe Palmer's lilac buzz, move over pixie, buzz cuts are having a major moment.
It's the unlikely haircut that we are obsessing over, but what's it really like to have a buzz cut? To get the lowdown, we put that question (and a whole lot more) to model Cajsa Wessberg (pictured above). She's had a buzz cut for a while now and let us in on what made her do it, what it's really like (besides being cold!) and how people treat her now she has a shaved head.

Plus, keep scrolling for expert tips from Roi Nadin, head stylist at George Northwood, on who it suits best and how to prep your scalp for a shaved head (because flaky skin is a no-no). Lastly, check out our gallery of celebrity women who have stepped out over the years with a buzz cut.

The lowdown: What it's really like to have a buzz cut
Byrdie: How long have you had a buzz cut?

Cajsa Wessberg: Since June 2014. I think I'm gonna have a little birthday party on that day to celebrate how much my buzz has done for me.

B: So how does it make you feel having super-short hair?

CW: Really cold. But it also makes me feel free and a bit badass.

B: Had you planned for ages to shave your hair, or was it a spur of the moment decision?

CW: Both. I had planned to do it for a couple of weeks, but my plan was to wait until after a family holiday. But suddenly, with all my family gathered, I couldn't wait any longer. I just went out to the backyard and shaved it.


B: What are the benefits of having a buzz cut?

CW: For me, it has given me a lot of work and opportunities as a model and given me a lot of attention. But for most people, I guess the biggest benefit is never having a bad hair day!

B: Did you feel you had to change your makeup or how you dressed when you had a buzz cut?

CW: Yes, a little. I think the makeup gets more visible without hair, so I think [I look] better with more natural makeup now. Before, I usually wore eyeliner and mascara, but now I think it's a bit sharp in contrast to my buzz.

B: Do people treat you differently?

CW: I think people assume I'm more tough than before and treat me with more respect. But sometimes people are quite rude, asking me if I have cancer or if I'm a boy or a girl.

B: Did you have long hair growing up?

CW: Yes, I did, like most girls. But I cut a bob when I was 15 and Rosemary's Baby short when I was 18, so the buzz wasn't that much of a shock.

Will a buzz cut suit me?
If we're being completely honest, it's hard to say. "You probably have no idea what shape your head is," rightly states Roi Nadin, head stylist at George Northwood. "You also have to take into account your hairline; if it is receding at the front or too low at the back, it's not going to look great."

What is key to understand is that hair is as transformative for the face as makeup. "A buzz cut takes away any shape from the face. You may not realize how much your hair adds definition and can soften your facial features," says Nadin. "If you have hard features, a buzz cut will make them even stronger. Soft features are best for a buzz cut; in fact, it can give soft features more definition."
"You also really have to consider your personal style. If you are very feminine, this is going to be hard to pull off and probably not appealing to you! All in all, if you want a dramatic short cut, a variation on the pixie or crop is an option for far more women."

Goodbye to the long hair

 only me it just seemed like she was forced to get a haircut? She sits there on the chair wrapped in a cape, taken from her control of her hair.  The hair stylist collects her hair with a bit of force, yet now the hair stylist can do whatever she wants .. control in her own hands. She turns on the clipper and in a moment her hair will take up places on the hair salon floor.  When she hears the clipper's head she smiles a bit, maybe stressfully but when she realizes that now her hair will be thrown on the floor she immediately changes her facial expression She looks at herself in the mirror while the hair stylist shaves her hair ... The hair stylist does it a bit forcefully, she shaves her hair and throws it on the floor ... The client seems to be deep in thought and keeps herself from crying ... Haircut is not  A shirt that can be changed if you do not like it, she will have to live with this hairstyle for a long time ... Those minutes the clipper shaves her hair feels like an eter

Lonnie's makeover Before the haircut I will describe the atmosphere in the salon hair. First of all, design a very old hair salon. On the wall in the living room, hair is full of pictures of people who have hairstyled in the hair salon. The pictures are very old and under the picture wall is the waiting area with very old but comfortable chairs Right in front of the waiting area are the hairstyle positions, there are 2 positions, one for the female customers and the other for the men, an old haircut haircut and yuk leather, on the wall of the hairstyle stands are hung with pictures with sentences like: "You do not really know what you need and that's why I'm here To help, "" a smart woman who worries about dealing with a cut more often, "" a brave woman knows that the best massage for her neck and hair is here when the machine works on her hair. "" You're the most radiant when you're organized, so go ahead and bend your head, I'

Bristles in her new nape✂️

She was sitting on the chair and he wrapped her body with a cape, now she already knows that her hair is in his hands.  He bent her head, combed her hair and gathered some of it with a pin The part that remains scattered will soon make its way to the floor in a hair salon. Her head is bent and the hair stylist takes the clipper to shave her nape. The noise of the clipper is loud and very noisy in her ears, this is the first time she has been pressed.  He starts shaving her hair on the back of her neck, and the clipper makes more noise as he cuts her hair.  Her hair is thrown on the floor in a hair salon, and she suddenly feels part of it separate from her.  She suddenly feels the cold hands of the hair stylist, she feels the bristles left on her nape. It's weird to her, it bothers her, it's a little itchy too, but it's too late to regret it. She would come out of the hair salon knowing that such a beloved part of her was left dropped on the floor in a hair salon.  Her hair.

I Spent 24 Hours Watching Women Get Short Haircuts & It Changed The Way I Think About Hair

Abrunette with hair past her shoulders walks in, speaks to the front desk, and takes a seat next to me in the designated waiting area. To our right, a row of four chairs occupied by other customers are lined with tables, each of them scattered with scissors, razors, hair dryers and other shiny metal tools of various sizes and shapes. Each chair is being tended to by a woman. When one of the chairs finally opens, the barber calls the brunette next to me over. Once seated and wrapped with a plain black cape, she’s asked what she wants for today. “I want to go short,” she says without skipping a beat, the curl of a confident, excited grin tugging at the corner of her lips. “Real short.” The barber smiles widely, the sign of an immediate understanding sparking between them. After ironing out the details and swiping through a few photos on a smartphone, the scissors come out. I watch as each clump of wispy brown strands drops to the floor at her feet. By the end of the appointme
