Disconnected Undercut with Mid Bald Fade
@lacynthiatepinta
This men’s haircut is what you would call a disconnected undercut with long front strands as the fringe. It’s one of the California-based stylist Cynthia Torrence’s favorite looks for men’s straight hair!
“This is a haircut that has a very sharp contrast between the very short sides and longer hair on top. It’s a very clean cut but having the length on top allows for total versatility! You can style the hair forward for a little mystery, slick it back for more of a suave a-la-Johnny Depp look, or go wild playing with texture,” Torrence mentions.
This high contrast sculpture is unique and memorable and would be recommended to a wearer who wants a classy, refined look. To style, depending on your hair type and density, a good gel or a pomade would be recommended.
Long Pomp with High Skin Fade
@nunezthebarber
A long pompadour with curly hair ends and high skin fade is a rugged look, cut by Peter Nuñez, a barber from Suffolk, UK.
Nuñez’s advice for gents who want to try this cut is to have enough length to get the desired style. “For hair products, I would use a matte clay to have a hold for the desired style. I used powder to give some volume as the hair was lacking volume. And to finish it off, I put hairspray to hold it in place,” he adds.
Undercut with Shaved Sides
@cvtthroatxdan
Short sides long top hairstyles that looks like this undercut are a mix between old school and new school. According to barber Daniel Holmes of Australia, “That’s the exact reason I fell in love with barbering because of the school styles and ways of doing things, and to put my modern look into an old school combover pomp.”
Hairstyles for men like this work best on thick hair. With thick hair, it’s a lot easier to style and hold into shape with a product. As for a product, Holmes would use Hanz De Fuko Gravity paste to give a medium hold with a matte finish.
