Apply product.

Some guys think they don’t need hair product if they have a buzz cut. That isn’t true. A lot of products are formulated to also help moisturize your scalp. Since the scalp is exposed with this type of haircut, it’s prone to dryness. Use a hair care product, like Axe Natural Look Softening Creamto massage hair (what’s left of it) and scalp.

Ed’s note: Other than wanting the look for its sexy and handsome appeal, a lot of men tend to get buzz cuts to handle their balding issues. This is a great option, but if you rather work with what you’ve got, you can also try your hand at learning how to style a receding hairline.
