The “Undercut” hair style for men has come on strong in 2016 and I suspect it will continue to grow in popularity throughout the holidays into 2017. It seems to be the go-to look in fashion magazines and music videos. It has also celebrated popularity in particularly with the millennials eager to expand the trend. The “Undercut” is youthful and can work incredibly well for curly, straight or wavy hair types. The great thing about this style is it can be creatively interpreted in several distinctive versions, which can allow your client to develop their unique look. I will share several versions of the “Undercut.” Look them up online to become familiar with the style as they all require additional liquid products to maintain this style such as pomade, hair gel, mousse, shampoo and conditioners, color, a curl sponge, and regular visits to the barbershop or salon. Below is the list of most requested “Undercut” styles.
- Undercut Classic Style

These styles, if executed well, will keep your clients looking stylish and coming back for continued maintenance.

Keep up the good work!
