Salman Khan, Orlando Bloom, Bradley Cooper, and Shahid Kapoor have all been embracing the buzzed haircut with boldness lately. This bold fashion choice is a potent representation of individuality and self-expression as well as defying conventional notions of beauty. For his upcoming movie Charlie Champion, Shahid chose a buzz-cut hairstyle with a stubble beard about two weeks ago. Since then, he has been posting numerous glitzy photos of himself on social media. His hairstyle even sparked rumors that he might have been inspired by Haider 2, the follow-up to his 2014 movie Haider. Furthermore, Salman has previously worn a buzzed cut—this time for an upcoming untitled movie. The actor donned the hairdo once more recently, having previously worn it in Tere Naam and Sultan. But, Bradley Cooper and Orlando Bloom completed it, and it wasn't for a project. We speak with hair stylists about their bold buzz cuts, how to style them, and whether or not fans still imitate their favorite celebrities' looks as the buzzed haircut trend picks up steam ahead of the winter season.


How do the stylists style hair?


As stated by hairstylist Jawed Habib, "It's a cut to look fresher, younger, and slimmer." People over 40 or 50 choose this cut because it is very contemporary. Characters are the basis for all movie styling nowadays, so perhaps a film involving a character who needs this particular look is in the works. Although it can be had at any time of year, this cut is really intended for the summer months due to the intense heat. A lot of styling products, such as gel, mousse, and hair sprays, are needed for buzzed cuts. It requires a lot of upkeep and grooming. Currently, the most notable shift is that men's styling has evolved into grooming styling. You must understand how to brush and apply mousse or gel to these kinds of cuts. These days, not many people attempt to imitate celebrities because things have changed so drastically. The narrative has changed from what it was years ago.

STYLING TIP: Apply mousse and brush or comb your hair in the desired direction.

Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim believes that most actors get buzzed cuts because they aren't exactly appropriate for winter looks on their characters in upcoming movies. On those with defined features, a strong jawline, and a well-built body, it looks good. It makes a great feature of your face. It also depends on how you are balancing it, as clean-shaven skin should not be balanced with facial hair. The buzzed cut vibe. It's not like the old days anymore; you have to maintain your haircut in a proper square shape. Show off your great buzzed haircut if you have one; it's a sexier and more masculine style. Everyone is greatly influenced by celebrities, and many do follow them. Customers still reference celebrities when they visit the salon. They imitate their hair color, haircuts, and fashion choices. Following Shahid's appearance, a lot of people buzzed the salon with requests for haircuts to emulate his appearance.

"Buzzed haircuts were always in trend and have come back again because it is a very versatile haircut and easy to manage, especially if it's too hot and people don't want to use too many hair products," says celebrity hairstylist Vikas Marwah. It's the easiest haircut ever, and all it takes to style it up is a little wax on the top portion. It is not related to the season; people tend to wear buzzed haircuts when they have large shoulders or are heavier in general. This draws attention to the face and makes the jaw appear larger. In addition to the fact that we live in a world heavily reliant on social media and digital media, people still attempt to replicate the looks of actors. Many customers, including models, came to our salon seeking for a replica even after Salman and Shahid's appearance.
