Until recently, Austin Butler was the poster boy of the tousled medium-length ’90s cut, a deliberately messy trim that has dominated the barbershop request list. But last night, at the San Francisco International Film Festival, the actor unveiled a rugged hot-guy buzz cut.
Did Butler get fed up with laborious hair styling routines? Is the crop for his role in next year’s Caught Stealing? Or did he just fancy changing things up a bit? We can’t say for certain, but it looks great either way.
If you’re thinking of getting the trim yourself, there’s a few things to consider. When you go for shorter hair, it will draw more attention to your facial features. And in this situation, complimenting your short trim with some facial hair can be a great way to soften things up, à la Butler, who rocked some noticeable stubble.
It’s clear that Butler’s hair has seen a fair bit of clipper action, but it’s not as simple as a grade one all over. Given the notable fuzz, it’s likely a grade two. And when it comes to maintenance, the only thing you’re gonna need is a regular trip to the barber, or a surefire set of clippers to keep things at the ideal length.
