FAQs

Read these frequently asked questions to learn more about a layered undercut.

Can I get layers with an undercut?

Yes, you can get layers with an undercut. Layers on an undercut give your hair movement and body instead of being all one length and stagnant.

Will layered undercuts make my hair thinner?

What face shape will look good with a layered undercut?
