Is it possible to buzz long hair in two minutes?
13.February, 2010
I have to do a performance piece for an art class. My hair now is about shoulder length and I wanted to buzz it almost bald (I know I don’t have time for the razor and shaving cream thing). I have two minutes to do my performance piece, and since I never did this before, I was wondering if two minutes was enough time?
Also, is it better to do wet or dry?
It is definitely possible to buzz all your hair off in 2 minutes, but you need to use a clipper with a rotary motor-I would recommend an Oster 76 or Wahl Rapidfire. Clippers with magnetic driven motors (most Wahls and Conairs) are not powerful enough to cut through a full head of hair quickly. You should cut it dry. Wet hair bogs down clipper blades and will slow you down a lot. And if you want it almost bald, you should use a blade no larger than 000.

yes as long as you put your hair in a ponytail first and than cut most of it off and then bussed it.

Yes it is possible but why would you want to do that? Keep your hair and do something else creative!

It is definitely possible with a rotary clipper like an Oster 76. Happens fairly frequently at MCRD San Diego(Marine Corps Recruiting Depot, San Diego.) Home clippers and even a professional taper clipper like an Andis Master will probably bog down and mar your one time performance. I would not recommend this for a girl as the average rate of hair growth is only 1/8" per week. And the performance can only take place once. How about getting guys to be your performance subject with you the barber. There could be a very interesting setting or interesting costumes in which the guy was getting and the barber giving the butch haircut. Or be a barber buzzing one of the head mannequins used in barber/beauty schools.

Good Luck!
