What hairstyle is best for me? buzz, long, shorter, etc? HELP

I need some advice. Should i get a really short buzzcut or not. I have never had really short hair before (shortest its ever been is in pic below). What style would look best on me. My hair is thinning alittle on top.

The left pic is a pic from a year ago of me with shorter hair, though not buzzed. The right is more or less what it is now.

This is another short pic from a year ago (just cut short, not buzzed)


i am thinking of possibly a short buzz (not sure what number - maybe a #3 or #4)?

What do you think is best?

Thanks

Where are you losing hair? Just in the front? A spot in the back? Thin all over? It's difficult to tell from the pics you posted, and that would make difference.

To be honest, either shorter or longer works for you, and pic #3 has the least flattering cut/view. You should probably look for some length contrast (shorter on sides than on top). I like #1, but the top could be grown out just a little more in that one, while #2 could use more (or more recent) trimming on the sides. I'd save the unilength style for when/if your hair really starts to thin. It's probably key to find a good stylist, who can work with what you want but also use some judgment her/himself. If you're going for a buzz, a traditional barber can be fine (though they're increasingly hard to find). Better off paying the bucks for a more thorough cut.

From what I hear, cutting it short is your best bet. You want some texture to the style. As the poster above said, talk to a knowledgeable hairdresser about what you want. Pay for a good cut at least once, then you can maybe go someplace cheaper and have them re-create it if cost is an issue.

shave the head completely and rock the 5 oclock shadow.
