Juxtaposition is at the core of fashion’s most interesting moments. Contrasting unexpected textures, patterns, and silhouettes separate the sartorial amateur from the experienced. The same effect works for hair. The sharp edge of a line up stands out against a blurry fade or clean cut sideburn enhances the impact of a full beard. Another powerful combination is the distinction between a short undercut and long hair.
It is essentially a mohawk haircut but with more hair on top. How high the undercut is shaved can vary but for the most part, hair is cut short up to the corners of the forehead. This long men’s haircut can also be paired with a hard part.
For styling, the cut is most dramatic with hair worn over to one side. This is true for straight as well as wavy and curly hair. Use a blow dryer to train hair in the direction of your choice and finish with a some product for all day hold. Other styling options include slicking hair back, half ponytail, or man bun.
