“I feel so free and very feminine,” said Spino, who works in marketing. “We’re taught to believe that women can only be sexy with long hair, but I get so many comments from men and women telling me my buzz cut is so hot.”
For women, this season the buzz cut is … well, buzzy. At the Met Gala on Monday, “Don’t Worry Darling” star Florence Pugh, 27, debuted her newly shaved head on the red carpet.
On TikTok, the hashtag #GirlsWithShavedHeads has amassed over 106.7 million views, with w“People are really into low-maintenance hair now, and a buzz cut is about as low maintenance as it gets,” said Hartnett, a cosmetologist of 11 years. “We’re having this liberated moment that sees celebrities and everyday women saying, ‘I don’t need all this hair anymore.’ “Women sharing their dramatic transformations.

She can’t help but be a very attractive woman.
I’m a buzz-cut kind of guy. So I understand the appeal of stepping outside once a week and coming back five minutes later with a haircut. It’s such a time-and-money-saver.
They also used to trim hair in the insane asylums.
Florence Pugh isn’t that hot to begin with, she should have avoiding this which just makes her look worse.
Uh, yes. One can see that.
Her countenance, and accordingly what’s in her heart, has more to do with her attractiveness than her hairdo has.
Two different young ladies.
Charlize Theron is a real kookydoodle, but very beautiful.
“Her countenance, and accordingly what’s in her heart, has more to do with her attractiveness than her hairdo has.”
Amen to that! Nothing beats bubbling-over enthusiasm, kindness, and that joie de vivre that just makes somebody attractive. Dourness is just very unattractive and that second picture is loaded with it.
Other ladies have done it, too. Sinead O’Connor, Persis Khambatta, Demi Moore, Natalie Dormer (one side only)...
In a woman’s late teens or twenties is the window to try something like that, IMO, and sometimes it looks better than you’d think.
Natalie Dormer did it best, I thought, because she only did thst on one side of her head. The other side still had her beautiful, womanly mane of hair as a reminder.
I don’t know who that is as I don’t know Florence Pugh. The photos I’m pulling up in a search for “Florence Pugh buzz cut” show a woman in a fancy dress and a weird, bird feather hat on her buzz cut. Black roots, too. The lady I found looked way better than your posted photo except for the hat.
I guess some can pull it off and others can’t even if they may otherwise be good-looking dames. (That picture you posted I don’t think is very flattering if that is Florence Pugh.) I guess for my tastes a clearly young and feminine face is a must for it to work.
...And in Robert Heinlein’s sci-fi classic _Starship Troopers,_ all the starship pilots were women...and bald.
They dropped both in the movie. Mixed co-ed crew and troopers and regulation haircuts.
I agree. Short, pixie-style cuts on young ladies can be very attractive.

Natalie Portman did it, too. I thought she looked good in it. (Not her best. Just good. Ladies with “doe eyes” seem to pull it off best.)
To most everyone’s point: Nobody (except maybe Grace Jones) keeps that look for longer than necessary. They tried it. It can look striking on a fit young woman with very feminine facial features. Even the ones that look good with a buzz cut don’t look their very best with one.
Who knew? Apparently shaving your head makes your lips swell up.
LOL...must be the collagen in the hair drained down to her lips when the shears came out.
Honestly this thread brings to mind a young black lady who works as a head waitress in a restaurant that my wife and I visit sometimes. One is withholding some details in order to not actually identify anyone. Let’s just say the restaurant involved is not in an ordinary setting.
Pretty face, fit body, a short afro hairdo, and also a happy countenance and gracious manner.
If one were one of those young single white men who happen to be near her one would... ask her to the symphony.
Physical appearance is great, but what’s in her heart is what makes her or breaks her.
Hairdo? That short afro could be the school colors (not the one you might assume) and I wouldn’t care.
That works both ways, of course.
A beautiful woman with a small frame can have any haircut she likes and still look great. Everyone else? Not so much...
Yuck.
I almost fully agree with you. Partial shaves makes the most beautiful woman much less attractive, in my eyes. I always think, just let someone finish the job. Your hair is already ruined.
I give Florence Pugh a lot of credit for one thing in particular. (She has told this story herself in interviews.) Very early in her career -- she was still a teenager and just starting out -- some hotshot studio guy took her aside and told her that she could never make it in the movie busines without significantly changing her appearance: new nose, new chin, new eyes, new cheekbones, lose a lot of weight, etc. I don't know if Mr. Studio Hotshot Guy recommended that he DollyPartonize her torso, but I would not be surprised. But if she didn't go under the knife, he said, she had no future in the industry.
She was shocked, depressed, and almost quit before she began. I don't know what her private support network may have been, but she thought it over and decided to remain herself. And good for her.
Clearly there is an idealized template that too many people in the movie business use as a reference. I refer to this as "Algorithm Girl." It's clearly based on some broadest common denominator generic look that studio execs assume, based on audience research, is considered attractive by prospective viewers. This gets used as a screening device with lethal effect for aspiring young actresses who do not yet have the big name and star power to break through that kind of barrier. So they get surgery and try to turn themselves into clones of Algorithm Girl. Change the hair style and color, and they become hard to tell apart.
Buccal fat removal, for example, has become a big thing, and it's sad to see so many beautiful young women get their cute chubby cheeks, which make them look younger, turned into Algorithm Girl sexy siren face. Breast implants ... well, I give bonus points to the no-boobs gals who have the confidence and sense of self-worth to stay that way. Weight gets iffy: there is a fine line between "statuesque" and fat, and beyond that, there is a fetish market big breast and hip implants which I find repulsive. But young ladies who are naturally a bit on the heavy side and chose not to starve themselves into Algorithm Girl are ok in my book. There's nothing wrong with the corn-fed Iowa farmgirl look; they don't all have to be scarecrows.
Algorithm Girl is classically beautiful. But too many clones get boring fast. IMHO, a disproportionate number of the most interesting young actresses are those who are slightly (some of them more than slightly) off-brand.
