If you love the look of an undercut but aren’t quite ready yet to make the chop, try a braid instead! A tight side braid gives you the silhouette of an undercut without trimming or removing any hair at all. It is an extremely versatile style because you can add as many braided “undercuts” as you want. You can braid both sides for the symmetrical “undercut” look and try out a mohawk style.

Extra, extra, EXTRA volume up top! This look will drop jaws as soon as you walk into a room. It is striking, fearless, and gorgeous. There’s plenty of room for accessories, too.

This works out excellently for a long, romantic side-swept look. You can be soft and glowy one day and then a bad bitch the next day.
Undercuts can be daunting, but don’t let a masculine haircut scare you off. Undercuts can be pretty, too! Take this delicate undercut in a soft, smoky shade. It’s perfect for gals who are curious about trying the undercut look without shaving off half of their head. If you get tired of it, brush your hair down over it. If you want to flaunt it, style it back and work that hot profile of yours. Pair this cut with a cool daith, rook, or tragus ear piercing for some extra edge.
Here’s a graphic hairstyle that’s daring without being too assertive. It is half-bob, half-undercut, and full hot. Easy to wear, this cut naturally steals the show through shape alone. If you’re interested in dying it, then this is a great chance for ombre, dual tones, and multiple hues. Give the undercut one color and your bangs something totally different. For something sexy and intriguing, try coloring your long bangs a ruby-red vampire shade. Or you can satisfy your cute and cozy side with a soft, natural tint and teased hair.
Two words: military chic. This is the ideal haircut for a tough girl. Typically, cropped cuts can be quite tame, but adding an undercut delivers style and dimension.
