This hairstyle is exactly what you need to enjoy the best of both worlds. If you are not afraid of a little hair hassle, you have a chance of making an amazing impression on your peers, coworkers, and loved ones. When you have a few strands of long hair, you can let your imagination run wild. Make friends with hair gel and go for it.

 

Who Should Try Long Hair Undercut?

It’s true that undercuts aren’t for every man. Some men prefer a simple classy style like a crew cut or hard part for their locks. An undercut is for men who like their medium to long hair and want to throw in a dash of edge to their current style.

There isn’t a certain age bracket perfect for the undercut, which is why it’s such a great look to try. From young men going against the grain with medium hair to older men embracing their age with long locks, an undercut will bring a spark to your style.

It’s also worth it to know that if you have facial hair, it typically looks pretty good with an undercut style. So when you’re ready for that pop of a special something under your hair and ready to see what this technique might do for your personality, give it a try!
