However, there are Skins, who, having immigrated from England, are in their thirties. The estimated number of American Skinheads varies from 3,000 to 5,000, but there may be as many as 10,000. Trousers may vary from drab green military fatigues to black jeans. Occasionally, the halo crown W of the Church of the Creator may be seen. More recently, the shaven head has been more or less limited to new members and may no longer be regarded as a factor in recognizing a member of the movement.
Male members refer to their shaven haircuts as buzz cuts.
Females, called Skinettes or Birds, also shave their heads but leave the bangs and fringes on the back and sides. These haircuts are called buzz fringes or just fringes. From initiation to exiting the movement, the period in which most teens are active as skins lasts about six months. Those who remain in the movement for any appreciable length of time may become entrenched and eventually move onto adult groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, another neo-Nazi group, or an Identity Church. The latter is less appealing, due to the more restrictive religious orientation.
