What does a number 3 buzz cut look like?

The Number 3 Buzz Cut is ⅜ of an inch or 10mm. It’s quite common to see a “3 on the top and 2 on the sides”. A Number 2 would be ¼ inch or 6mm. This can look very tidy as the sides look tapered and tight relative to the top. It’s a great way to make sure the buzz cut grows out looking nice and natural.
