We're going to play young Brad Pitt and wear this trendy hairstyle in 2025

Do you still remember how?and David Beckham looked around the turn of the millennium? If not, when in doubt: damn good. And because not only fashion trends from the 90s and 2000s are coming back, but also some iconic haircuts are celebrating their revival, we're taking the pair's iconic vintage cut as a model this year.What Pitt and Beckham wore back then will be a trendy hairstyle again in 2025.

Brad Pitt and David Beckham have both worn many hairstyles - sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes blonde, sometimes darker. One of these iconic haircuts is coming back in 2025 as a new trend hairstyle. It is the 90s buzz cut, a casual and, above all, practical hairstyle that is particularly beneficial for men with thin and thinning hair. This makes it easy to conceal receding hairlines etc. Plus, you don't always have to worry in front of the mirror in the morning that your hair will finally look good today. The 90s buzz cut always works and always looks good. Brad Pitt and David Beckham did it.

Brad Pitt and David Beckham both sported a haircut in the early 2000s that is now becoming a style role model for men a good twenty years later. The 90s buzz cut is actually not that different from the buzz cut that became popular a few years ago: razor-short and radical, but with a nostalgic superstructure. The hair is shorn all around to the same length, and the stubble (more like a two-day stubble than a three-day stubble) gives the clean and edgy look a casual touch. Actor Austin Butler, who was previously known for his blonde surfer mane, but is opting for the trendy hairstyle in 2025, is now also taking advantage of this. And it suits him at least as well – if not a little better.

The advantage of the 90s buzz cut is that you don't have to worry about anything. The hair is usually shaved to five to 15 millimeters. Then all you have to do is make sure you get a trim regularly (1-3 weeks) and otherwise have a practical and easy-care trendy hairstyle. You hardly need styling products unless you want to shape the longer stubble with a dab of hair wax. It is important to apply sun protection, especially in summer, because otherwise the sensitive scalp is exposed to too many harmful UV rays - or at least to put on suitable sun protection; caps always look good with the 90s buzz cut, for example. With this variant of the short haircut, the hair is always trimmed to the same length. Additionally, there are various other forms of the traditional buzz cut that play with different lengths and textures. Whatever looks cool: bleach the 90s buzz cut blonde. But it only works on men who otherwise have dark eyebrows. The “natural” 90s buzz cut, on the other hand, is suitable for all head shapes and hair structures.

In principle, we advise everyone to put their beloved hair in professional hands. Otherwise there is a great risk of unpleasant surprises. The 90s buzz cut is actually a haircut that you can do relatively well yourself with the right equipment and the right technique - and it doesn't take long at all. One Esquire article and three minutes later you look like a young Brad Pitt. At least as far as the hairstyle is concerned. Here are the relevant instructions:

It's not easy to find the perfect length. You should think about this before you go over your hair with the machine. It's best to first check whether you have any bald spots or scars that would be better left hidden. Especially with light hair types, these areas often shine through if the length is too short. If you have large ears, we recommend leaving the hair on the sides a little longer, otherwise do as you wish. It's better to start too long than too short - you can always shorten it later.

Your hair should be dry before you start cutting yourself the new trend hairstyle for 2025. Then position yourself in front of a mirror and off you go.

You start the haircut with the top hair by repeatedly stroking the machine from front to back until the cut is even and even. Then come the contours, which are also shaved against the direction of growth.

The 90s buzz cut is super easy to style, but it needs to be taken care of well. By this we primarily mean the scalp, which needs to be cleaned and soothed again and again. Appropriate creams, serums and shampoos can help.
