While it looks like an easy cut to achieve, we’d recommend leaving the task to a pro, and with the renaissance currently happening in barbering, you shouldn’t have a hard time finding someone who can produce a proper undercut. And be sure to bring a reference of the exact style you’re looking to achieve, as there are a few variations, and it’s the easiest way to ensure that you leave the chair happy. You should get trimmed up every 2 to 4 weeks depending on how quickly your hair grows, as the short sides featured in this style tend to require frequent trims to keep it tight.

One of the reasons we love the undercut so much is the ease in styling. For our money, slicked back is the way to go, but definitely experiment with different products and styling in different directions to achieve a variety of textures and looks. If you like to try the classic slicked back look, use a blow dryer and blow your hair towards the back of your head until it is about 80% dry before adding product and finally combing straight back. Boom, sexy.
