Buzz cut.
One short clipper length over the head, or close to it. A buzz cut is about as low-maintenance as hair gets: nothing to style in the morning and nothing to fight.
What makes one look finished is the outline. The cut on this page has a short, even top, a line-up that squares off the front, and a fade that climbs well above the ear.

Buzz, crew, high and tight.
Three short cuts people mix up.
Buzz cut: the same short length all over, often with a fade added on the sides so it doesn't look grown in.
Crew cut: a little more length on top, graduated so the front is longest, with shorter sides. It can be combed or left natural.
High and tight: very short on top with the sides faded high, often to skin. The photo here sits close to that end of the family.
Short cuts, three ways.
From a fade to a full shave.

The edges go first.
On a buzz cut the top length barely changes your look as it grows, but the fade and the line-up do. They are the first things to blur, so they decide when the cut still looks finished. If you want a schedule for yours, ask me while you're in the chair.
Buzz and crew cut FAQ.
What do I tell my barber for a crew cut?+
Ask for short sides, a bit more length on top that is slightly longer at the front, and say whether you want a fade or just a short, even side. Mention if you plan to comb it.
Crew cut or buzz cut: how are they different?+
A buzz is close to one length everywhere. A crew cut keeps more length on top than on the sides, so it has some shape and can be styled a little.
What does high and tight mean in a haircut?+
High refers to how far up the sides the fade climbs; tight means it is very short, often down to skin. The top stays short too.
Who should avoid a buzz cut?+
If there are scars or bumps on your scalp you would rather not show, or you're unsure about your head shape, try a crew cut first. It keeps a bit more cover on top.
