Most people aren’t completely sure what an undercut is; basically, an undercut is short hair on the sides and long on top. A lot of men have adopted the undercut due to its simplicity and variation. It’s a rather simple haircut but adds style and class. Another feature when rocking the undercut is that the look asks for no shampoo use with this hairstyle. Shampoo reduces the amount of oil in the hair, defeating the look the hairstyle is going for. This hairstyle demands just washing hair with water. It sounds odd, but it saves money and time, definitely a benefit to lazy guys.
Not only is the undercut hairstyle dominating male society, it also is rather popular among women. Women often dye their hair different colors, making the hairstyle stand out more and making it their own. “I just cut my hair, and then it really changed my life. There’s something about having no hair that screams being confident,” said Miley Cyrus. Miley is currently rocking the undercut hairstyle.
Basically, anyone can, and have adopted this hairstyle. Mens Health stated, “Everyone from Kim Jong-un (yes, really) to Brad Pitt has adopted the hairstyle, proving it’s crossed national and style boundaries.” This magazine shows that the style can work for almost anyone.
This hairstyle originated over 70 years ago and has reappeared now in 2015. A lot of celebrities have adopted the undercut hairstyle, making it popular again. It is a really simple hairstyle and super easy to style. It’s also a unisexual haircut, making it open to anyone who wants it!
