The undercut haircut is a hairstyle that was fashionable at all time. The hair on the top of the head is long and parted on either the side or center, while the back and sides are buzzed very short.
With the right tools and some product, you can easily style your undercut. So it’s brushed up, slicked back, or brushed back as a pompadour.
Whether you have thick hair, curly hair, wavy hair, straight hair, fine or thinning hair there is a cool undercut haircut for you in this set of photos.
