I just cut my hair down with a buzzer now, to 1 inch. I think its a number 8. I can comb it forward, or i can spike it up. I like cutting the hair short, but one problem of doing this, is that its better to get a higher density. When it starts shedding its more noticeable at this length , but ur style is versatile. U can spike it straight up, comb it anyway with short hair.
