Growing Out A Buzz Cut: A Series
You may be familiar with our famous series, “Grow With Moreno.” Many of the folks who attended The Great Cut started their long hair journey by following El Moreno, and literally growing alongside him.
This new series will follow in El Moreno’s footsteps as I take you through my own journey from long hair, to growing out a buzz cut, and back to long hair.

How To Grow Out A Buzz Cut: One Month In
It’s been four weeks since my last haircut and we’re back with the second installment of How To Grow Out a Buzz Cut. This cut with our friend Shelbee Shears is all about shape and texture.
If you’re still in the early stages of growing out a buzz cut, there are a few things you can do to keep it looking fresh:
- Shape the “shelf.” Your hair will begin to “mushroom” out around the area where the top of your head meets the sides. A trip to the barber shop will help manage those harsh angles.
- A gentle taper. While we won’t be going back to a skin fade, we will be tapering the sides along the hairline to keep those edges clean while we wait for the top to meet the sides.
- Styling. Grab yourself some shaping cream or a pomade to help keep the fuzzy look at bay.
