Can I pull off a buzz/shaved cut? (pic provided)

Hello,

Lately, I've been contemplating getting a shaved/stubble type of haircut, but I'm not sure the shape of my head would accommodate that look well. I am going to the gym more and working with a trainer, so I do expect to lose a little more weight, which might make my face look a bit thinner.

I've also seen people with a short buzz cut on top, with shaved sides. Does anyone think I could pull off the shaved/stubble buzz look with my type of face? This has been a long dilemma for me and I appreciate any feedback.

I usually wear my hair a bit longer and do the spike/messy look. Because my hair is so straight, it is kind of a pain in the but to style and I think it might be nice to not have to deal with maintenance for a while.

It looks like it's pretty short already, I don't see the added benefit of cutting it shorter.

With your hair that short you might as well give it a go. What's the worst that could happen? Have to wait 2 weeks to be back where it is now?

You don't have the facial bone structure to pull it off. Either way... it wouldn't make much of a difference in your case. On a side note I love shaving my head weekly. Nice ritual.

Neither would suit your face well. Leave it as it, or grow it out.
