Okay, so who else has tried to go neon with their buzzcut and ended up looking like a traffic cone? :vertical_traffic_light::sweat_smile: #Help

Lol, happened to me last semester. Pro tip: don’t mix cheap dye brands. My hair looked like a Skittles bag exploded. :grimacing::rainbow:

But why does my neon blue buzzcut look more like Smurf vibes than edgy chic? Is it the lighting? :light_bulb::blue_heart:

Lighting def plays a role! Also, use a toner to avoid that neon clown look. Learned it the hard way during my ‘lemonade phase’ :lemon::joy:

Y’all ever noticed how the right ring light can make or break a buzzcut color? Mine looked bomb under LEDs but tragic in sunlight. :sun::repeat_button::light_bulb:

I legit match my Crocs to my buzzcut hue now. Today is Lime Green everything. No regrets. :green_apple::winking_face_with_tongue:

Anyone tried rainbow buzzcuts? I thought I’d look like a walking Pride flag but ended up more like Rainbow Brite’s evil twin. :rainbow::man_facepalming:

Try using color-safe shampoo, it keeps the neon poppin’. My buzzcut has been pink for 3 weeks straight and counting! :sparkling_heart::sparkles:

I say just embrace the chaos. My ‘neon disaster’ became a fashion statement, according to my Insta followers. :camera_with_flash::smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I feel that! My color wheel buzzcut once won me ‘Most Likely to be Seen from Space’ award at a party. :rocket::milky_way:

Does the cut itself impact the color lift? My buzz always looks faded by week 2. #BuzzcutBlues :cry:

Buzzcut tip: use semi-permanent for longer-lasting zazz and less damage. See, not all chaos has to be destructive. :winking_face_with_tongue::person_getting_haircut:

Do y’all also coordinate outfits with buzzcut color? Currently rocking all purple, and feeling like a royalty reject. :purple_heart::crown:

OMG yes! It’s a whole aesthetic. My pink buzz literally decides my week’s wardrobe. :nail_polish::two_hearts:

FYI: never dye and bleach on the same day. My scalp screamed louder than my existential crisis during finals. :woman_student::fire:

Bleach disasters are a rite of passage! Just rock a hat until it grows out and try again. Or embrace the ‘avant-garde’. :top_hat::artist_palette:

Wow! Appreciate the honest chaos here. Anyone got tips on buzzing your own head without turning into a Picasso self-portrait? :thinking::scissors:

Mirror setup is key! Triple mirror action for the ultimate viewing angles, plus calm hands, no espresso shots before! :hot_beverage::paintbrush:
