An undercut is the best way of lightening up your thick hair or adding an elegant feature in your ordinary hairstyle. An undercut women’s cut is a haircut with the lower area of your hair shorter than the hair at the top. Getting an undercut is the perfect way of changing your hairstyle as it gives you a completely new appearance.

An undercut can be defined as a haircut with short hair underneath, mostly at the back of the head but is partially covered by long hair that is left at the top. The haircut does not necessarily have to be faded but could be a bob as long as is not longer than the hair on the top. The following are some of the variables that determine whether you can get an undercut women haircut.

Shape of the face

This is the most important factor to consider as it affects your general appearance. There are face shapes that go well with certain undercuts and others that do not go well with the same undercut style. For some facial shapes like oval, one can rock any type of undercut women’s haircut, unlike a diamond or triangle face shapes where one has to be specific on the type of undercut to get. If you are having difficulty in determining the type of undercut to get, consult your barber and let them help you to choose the undercut that matches your face shape.

Hair texture

Just like the shape of the face, your hair texture is another major determinant of the undercut you will get. Some hair textures hold some undercut textures better than others. However, hair textures can be changed using hair products and other tools like hair driers. When working with hair that is naturally wavy, avoid styles that require slick backs as you could have a hard time laying your hair back. This, however, does not mean that if you have curly hair undercuts is not your style. There are fades and angular undercut versions that blend very well with curly hair.

Your profession

The type of work that you engage in is another determinant of the type of undercut to get. This is because some professions do not accept certain undercut women’s styles. Certain professions and companies have codes that restrict their employees to a certain appearance. For instance, if you are in the entertainment industry, it is easier to rock certain wild undercuts that a formal employee might not.

Your lifestyle

Different undercut women styles have different maintenance levels. Therefore, the type of lifestyle that you lead is a major determinant on the type of undercut that you get. For instance, if you have a busy lifestyle, then getting a simple and easy to maintain undercut is your best option. Lifestyle also means the amount of time you can get to style your hair. If you do not have enough time to style and maintain you undercut, then choose an undercut that is easy to groom.

Some of the most common undercut styles you can choose from are;

Pastel undercut

This undercut is usually paired with shading your hair using your favorite color. The undercut comes up on the sides such that it almost looks like a Mohawk.

Long pixie

Flipping the hair left at the top of the head on the side gives a perfect pixie. This is one of the easiest undercut to maintain.

Undercut and bangs

Pairing your undercut with bangs and a fringe gives you a perfect informal look. Holding the bangs into a messed bun is also another way of rocking an undercut.

Blunt pixie

This is a low maintenance undercut women haircut that is characterized by having the layers cut short such that they do not completely cover the undercut. The edges are trimmed unevenly to give you a perfect shaggy look.

Having an undercut does not necessarily mean that your hair has to be short. You can cover the sides using the long hair.
