Timothee Chalamet’s Hair: Buzz Cut
Timothee Chalamet’s hair has gone from curly to desert warrior minimalism (he had his hair cut for Dune Part Three). Yup, gone are the glossy curls that fuelled Pinterest boards and barber consultations globally, and instead is a sharp #2 buzz cut that means business.
Why We Love It:
Timothee Chalamet’s hair has long been inspiration for millions of curly-haired men worldwide. Those effortless curls were practically cinematic.
But this buzz cut – likely using a #2 guard – gives just enough coverage to show off some of his natural texture and head shape without tipping over into military territory.
It’s also a reset button for anyone whose hair’s been through it: colour, heat, over-styling. Letting it grow from scratch, especially for naturally curly hair, means your barnet will bounce back healthier and stronger.
While MFH really did love Timothee’s curls, it’s also understandable that every so often you might need a break: no styling, no frizz battles, no more products overloading the bathroom cabinet. And this is the ultimate ‘roll out of bed and go’ hair.
But (sorry)…a buzz cut grows out fast. You’ll notice length coming back in as little as two to three weeks, especially if your hair has a wave or curl. Once it hits that fuzzy, uneven phase, that’s your cue to see your barber. They’ll tidy the edges, re-blend the length, and help it grow out into a nice shape.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Ask for a #2 guard all over for an even, balanced buzz.
- Request clean, tight edging around the hairline, temples, and neckline to keep it looking intentional.
- If your hair is wavy or curly, talk to your barber about how to shape it for grow-out – a slight taper or fade can help.
- Book follow-up trims every 3–4 weeks; buzz cuts grow out quickly and lose definition fast.
- Discuss how you want to transition from the buzz to a longer style, so your barber can plan the grow-out stages with you.
Get The Look
- Wash the hair every few days with a gentle shampoo to avoid buildup: scalp health is everything with short styles.
- Use a scalp scrub once a week or so to deeply cleanse and exfoliate your scalp, removing dead skin, excess oil and impurities that shampoo misses, creating a healthier environment for hair growth and to reduce the potential for dandruff and itchiness.
- No need for daily styling product, but once regrowth starts, use a pea-sized amount of matte balm to define texture.
- Protect your hair/from sun exposure if it’s summer or you’re going away somewhere hot on holiday; a hat or special hair/scalp SPF spray goes a long way.
- Keep edges tidy between appointments with a home trimmer if you’re confident — just don’t overdo it!
