Curly undercuts are an increasingly popular youth culture trend. Ideal for adding an air of freshness to any look, curly undercuts also help define both wavy and curly locks by providing additional definition.
Medium Undercut Style for Curly Hair
This medium undercut style for curly hair features an asymmetrical design with a longer length at the top, created using styling wax.
Side-Swept Undercut
For an elegant yet trendy style, give this side-swept undercut a try. Pair it with either a fade or straight fade for maximum impact, and it makes a striking beard-friendly statement.
Long Hairstyles: Side-Swept Undercut
When it comes to long hairstyles, the side-swept undercut can be an ideal option. Both sides of this unique cut should be shortened while its top should remain more prolonged than traditional undercut styles for an eye-catching yet subtle appearance.
Disconnected Undercut
Disconnected undercut hairstyles look fantastic with any hair length, though long locks look particularly striking when styled this way. Slick back, pompadour, or style into a quiff for an eye-catching style; add volume on top using pomade or wax!
Curly Crop
Curly crops are an effective way to showcase your natural waves. Pairing tightly cropped sides with an eye-catching, longer, natural curly top creates a unique statement piece that can be styled for multiple looks and occasions.
Hairdresser Technique: Curly Crop
For this style, your hairdresser should carefully “carve” or “slice” the curls into distinct sections for easy styling. This technique eliminates any “triangle” effect and allows your locks to come together seamlessly into a seamless style.
Taper Fade Haircut for Curly Hair
Curly hair requires extra care and consideration than straight locks, and a good haircut can create the ideal volume balance without creating too much body. Try adding an edge by opting for a taper fade haircut – perfect for curls!
Undercut Fade
Curly hair can be challenging to manage. An undercut fade is an excellent way to tame curly locks without losing their texture or natural beauty, enhancing their beauty by emphasizing curls with taper cuts and side parts. Be sure to communicate clearly with your barber or stylist, so you get exactly the style you’re after!
Design Line
Add a design line as a pop for an extra splash of color in your undercut. This is an effective way to show your individuality without shaving your whole head – for instance, if you love Grey’s Anatomy, you could add a heartbeat design line as a nod.
Slicked Back Undercut for Curly Hair
Embark on a more traditional look with this slicked-back undercut for curly hair. Its classic features, such as its carved part line and sculpted edges, offer the ideal contrast against its low fade, structured pompadour, which controls curly strands without losing their natural movement.
Shaved Side Undercut for Curly Hair
If you prefer bolder looks, try this shaved side undercut for curly hair with a vibrant pink peek-a-boo accent and wash with a sulfate-free shampoo to ensure its color doesn’t quickly fade.
Wet Curls
Some curly girls find that applying hair products to wet hair helps minimize wet frizz and define their curl pattern. Still, for maximum effectiveness, it is crucial to use a deep conditioning hair routine tailored towards curls that is gentle on them to prevent heat damage and dryness.
Fade for Thin Curls
Thin curls can make for an eye-catching style when worn with a fade. Their distinctive swoop and thick texture create a stand-out style, drawing attention to itself with each pass of the fingers through them. Thin curls also pair nicely with beards for hipster looks; this style features an easy taper fade that keeps the top short to create contrast against longer sides.
