The versatility of an undercut makes it ideal for every hair type and facial structure, from thick to fine hair types. Loftier styles such as pompadours are best suited to thick and coarse locks while thinner or fine hair works better with shorter, textured looks.
No matter your style, matte finish styling wax will help give a smooth and soft texture. Our preferred product for this purpose is Suavecito pomade which works especially well on slicked-back styles or pompadours.
Messy Undercut
The messy undercut is a masculine hairstyle characterized by tousled and textured top hair combined with shorter sides and back hair, and boasting carefree characteristics. This look complements most face shapes while working especially well for curly locks as it highlights their natural texture while still looking neat. To achieve the style, request that your barber or stylist fade the sides and back while leaving some length on top for you.
Curly Top Undercut
Curly top undercuts are an effective way to show off your curls without compromising a sleek appearance. Their precise fade on the sides is what sets this cut apart; choose from low or high fade options, as well as design lines if desired.
The style features closely cropped back and sides with long, wavy or curly hair on top, creating an eye-catching contrast that flatters any curl pattern and facial structure.
For optimal results, regularly trim your hair to keep all lengths in sync and use leave-in conditioners and styling creams that reduce frizz and define curls to keep them voluminous and healthy-looking. For best results, this should also involve trimming back the edges regularly to maintain volume in your voluminous locks.
Crop Undercut
A crop undercut features an eye-catching contrast between short sides and a long, textured top. It’s an elegant style, versatile enough to be worn slicked back or side-parted for a casually cool aesthetic.
Contrasting with traditional undercuts which fade gradually, a crop haircut features a straight, blunt fringe which contrasts beautifully with shorter lengths on sides and nape area. When styled using low shine product this men’s haircut exudes confidence while remaining sophisticated.
Hard part undercuts offer an eye-catching variation of this classic undercut style, using precise razor lines to define the transition from short side shave to longer top length – creating a striking and distinct look that pairs well with medium skin fade fades for an attractive yet daring style.
Textured Undercut
When it comes to selecting a haircut, multiple factors need to be taken into account. Your face shape, hair texture and lifestyle should all play an integral role in selecting suitable styles; thick, coarse hair tends to do better in loftier styles such as quiffs and pompadours, while thinner or curlier hair may prefer shorter and textured cuts.
Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby made famous the undercut through Peaky Blinders has revitalized it; however, its heavy disconnect isn’t for everyone, so we have seen more modernized variations emerge like the textured undercut; which blends clean lines of traditional undercut with rugged layers and texture in top hair for an attractive combination.
Twisted Locs Undercut
Undercut and twisted locs come together for an eye-catching style that’s completely original. This look features a longer top section that parts in the middle like curtains while keeping sides trimmed sharply so as to accentuate intricate texture and shape of locs.
If you prefer a low-maintenance style, opt for box braids over locs for an easier style that won’t strain your neck when pulling back your ponytail or top knot. Add an interesting pattern fade for an added flair!
Locs can be worn with various styles, such as a slick-backed undercut that’s great for men with short or medium length hair, or you could try something bolder such as a pompadour undercut for an eye-catching aesthetic.
