hmm, i am always scared to remove it too high so i just do it enough to near "too low". And i think its much better than risking looking like an egg head for the rest of the year.

Actually, you showed that "too low" looks much better than "too high". The rest can even depend on the head shape and hair type - in my case thin blonde hair and a bit rounder head, so that the extra millimeters do better to achieve the look that other people get with having the undercut put a bit higher. - So from my POV, start low and when the hair strands get thicker, beding outwards, then you still have the option to cut away a few millimeters to style them easier.

Getting your undercut cut too high is honestly probably the worst thing that can be done to your hair. Unfortunately it has happened to me multiple times but I finally started going to a real barber rather than Great Clips, Sports Clips, Supercuts, etc. and have been getting pretty good haircuts now that can give me a proper undercut. Getting it cut too low has happened to me before as well but its an easy fix.

Yes, my first undercut was done way too high although I specifically warned that I wasn't going for that look. Looked like a mohawk. I was so disappointed I didn't cut my hair for two years after that In hindsight I should have known when the barber told me he didn't know what an undercut was. Obviously I changed salon

Rule of thumb: if your barber doesn't understand what you mean, avoid getting that haircut or avoid that barber. I once interrupted a barber halfway through a session because from the get-go, she had no clue what I was talking about lol

@PlayerG-ub2zr 5 ай бұрын

Mine started too high or eventually gets too high from accidentally shaving it too high week after week of maintaining the shaved part. Many times I’ve just waited about a month of growth than just shave a new lower portion where I want it at and let the fuzzy mid hair grow over time and just wear a beanie or hat daily till it’s long enough . I have shaved my head to just start over but I’d rather keep my hair and do it this way . Eventually it’s long enough to go get the hairstylist to cut the top and the part I grew back blends in perfectly . Preserving the long top is more important to me cuz that takes way longer to reach the back then the sides will take to get some length. Try it it’s not bad, top hair covers it up most of the time too.

@VoxMartin 2 жыл бұрын

I had the too-high undercut happen to me at one point in 2020 - at a salon even. Maybe not quite as bad as the one in the video here, but it was annoying waiting for the hair to grow back and even it back out again.

His hair is “thinning” and I watched your video about thin vs thinning undercut. He’s just got his heart set on that undercut, even with his SUPER cowlick bald spot in back. We are going to try. Thank you for all the helpful hints.

I appreciate these insights, I'm getting my haircut tomorrow and I'm actually looking to get it cut around my temples so it has that sharp edge pointing kind of outwards, and so according to this video it may seem low but I have somewhat long hair at this point (7-8 Inches) so I believe I'll be able to tie my hair into a bun/ponytail or use product like pomade to slick it back.

I remember once I had to go get a haircut from a different barber who wasn’t my regular. He cut one side too high and the other too low. Only reason I didn’t go to my regular was because she was booked up. Needless to say, after I left at first barbershop, I went to my regular one and showed her what happened. She playfully laughed and told me “that’s what you get for going with somebody else.“ In the end, there wasn’t much I could do with the hair so I had to cut it all off and rock dad caps for a good three months.

Sometimes when I don't want to fade my hair and switch things up I do a classic undercut with the exception that I don't slick it back but do more of a side part. I use the correct parting as I use my natural part when shaving the hair off but I always think that it looks too rounded and that my natural part is high up. Any ideas what I could do without having to fade?

@LuistationChannel 4 ай бұрын

The high undercut for me is risky but it would turn out as a too-high undercut, so I did the section by myself to align my natural hairline length and tried to do the section an almost perfect straight line. I don’t know if it’s wrong but It would be so difficult to do it by myself to do like a not that curvy section, I don’t know how to explain it, but yep. I wish a good night sleep, mental health and energy for the next video, you are awesome.

It's better to have the under cut professionally. from that point you can trim the undercut yourself when it gets long. top your hair just leave it alone. Grow it out etc. I saved a lot of money doing that for 2 years until got tired of the long hair and the undercut.

Comb your hair over to the opposite side and then just go straight up with the clippers, it will keep you from going too low or too high. Just straight up, no flick or anything. At least that has been my experience.

That is no classic undercut. You will have to use clipper/scissor over comb to take out the hard line.

My hair has a high natural part. From the sides past the corner, up to the just before mohawk territory be in "very high undercut" territory my hair grows out normally, but for just a sliver on both sides around the peak it grows forward, then is grows up. I did the high undercut, and it looked good. I tried adjusting it a bit and mess it all up, but I think you can go pretty high on the right head.
