The Biggest Undercut Haircut Mistakes - TheSalonGuy

[@vratislavgoldie7386]

hmm, i am always scared to remove it too high so i just do it enough to near "too low". And i think its much better than risking looking like an egg head for the rest of the year.

[@jahtouryapitts1893]

😂

[@Spinner773]

I already have a big ass head, im really trying to full throttle here

[@princeamongmen7064]

I know I’m shitting masel

[@WinstonTs]

i was shouting,crying when he started cutting high. my soul left me.

[@kimberlyo1190]

My husband had his done believe we met. His was too high. We’ve spent 8 months growing it back out, now I’m going to do it correctly. His hair is “thinning” and I watched your video about thin vs thinning undercut. He’s just got his heart set on that undercut, even with his SUPER cowlick bald spot in back. We are going to try. Thank you for all the helpful hints.

[@MLGxAvenger]

Getting your undercut cut too high is honestly probably the worst thing that can be done to your hair. Unfortunately it has happened to me multiple times but I finally started going to a real barber rather than Great Clips, Sports Clips, Supercuts, etc. and have been getting pretty good haircuts now that can give me a proper undercut. Getting it cut too low has happened to me before as well but its an easy fix.

[@ryanneedles3861]

What's the name of the barber you go to now?

[@koisneurotypical]

I go to Great Clips and look like an egg head 😂😂😂😂

[@SuperDuper1_1995]

Thanks for this video, I just got my hair cut like the green mannequin you have and my corner lines were all messed up. Just got them fixed and used this video to show my Mom how to do it. Finally I I've accomplished a hair goal I've been wanting :)

[@mastermandarin師父中文]

You made that “too low”look good. Final form was nice too.

[@PlayerG-ub2zr]

Mine started too high or eventually gets too high from accidentally shaving it too high week after week of maintaining the shaved part. Many times I’ve just waited about a month of growth than just shave a new lower portion where I want it at and let the fuzzy mid hair grow over time and just wear a beanie or hat daily till it’s long enough . I have shaved my head to just start over but I’d rather keep my hair and do it this way . Eventually it’s long enough to go get the hairstylist to cut the top and the part I grew back blends in perfectly . Preserving the long top is more important to me cuz that takes way longer to reach the back then the sides will take to get some length. Try it it’s not bad, top hair covers it up most of the time too.

[@SturFriedBrains]

My hair has a high natural part. From the sides past the corner, up to the just before mohawk territory be in "very high undercut" territory my hair grows out normally, but for just a sliver on both sides around the peak it grows forward, then is grows up. I did the high undercut, and it looked good. I tried adjusting it a bit and mess it all up, but I think you can go pretty high on the right head.

[@VoxMartin]

I had the too-high undercut happen to me at one point in 2020 - at a salon even. Maybe not quite as bad as the one in the video here, but it was annoying waiting for the hair to grow back and even it back out again.

[@pynkieloveable]

I do my own Mohawk and I had the same trouble, but trying to get the sides even was what I messed up and ended up with a very thin Mohawk,vi have very thin hair as well, but I did it correctly this time , it's a little uneven, but if I try to fix it, I'll end up with a very thin hawk again, I mean no one will really be able to tell it's like a very minor difference... I made it a bit thicker so I could put my dread extensions in, but I never knew where to put the line, this was very helpful . I have always ended up going to the wrong place to get my haircuts and they never looked good to me, that's when I started doing my own Mohawk about 12 years ago. I don't trust anyone with my hair anymore. But do you have any tips on how to make the sides completely even?

[@machoman6969]

*When the mannequin has a better haircut than you even though it's supposed to be botched*

[@bladeedge481]

That mannequin built different fam all of us egg heads aren't lol 😂

[@mylena3086]

I'm still figuring out how to adjust my undercut And this is a very helpful guideline Thank you!

[@GreenPartyHat]

The amount for barbers who just don't understand this is incredible.

[@xsprlmnl]

Yes, my first undercut was done way too high although I specifically warned that I wasn't going for that look. Looked like a mohawk. I was so disappointed I didn't cut my hair for two years after that In hindsight I should have known when the barber told me he didn't know what an undercut was. Obviously I changed salon

[@johnzackarias11]

Rule of thumb: if your barber doesn't understand what you mean, avoid getting that haircut or avoid that barber. I once interrupted a barber halfway through a session because from the get-go, she had no clue what I was talking about lol

[@guidodraheim7123]

Actually, you showed that "too low" looks much better than "too high". The rest can even depend on the head shape and hair type - in my case thin blonde hair and a bit rounder head, so that the extra millimeters do better to achieve the look that other people get with having the undercut put a bit higher. - So from my POV, start low and when the hair strands get thicker, beding outwards, then you still have the option to cut away a few millimeters to style them easier.

[@elijahproto]

I appreciate these insights, I'm getting my haircut tomorrow and I'm actually looking to get it cut around my temples so it has that sharp edge pointing kind of outwards, and so according to this video it may seem low but I have somewhat long hair at this point (7-8 Inches) so I believe I'll be able to tie my hair into a bun/ponytail or use product like pomade to slick it back.

[@jay-pg2ib]

So before covid happened i had done a Mohawk at home and it turned out amazing. I learned i can pull it off with my head shape. Over time i switched to a military cut where i shaved the sides and back off, as it grew out i turned it into a tapered fringe which looked even better and i figured out what hair cuts looked good on me. The first time i did my mohawk it was too low because i was afraid of going too high. I never tried riskier hair styles. But eventually after practice and i got the shapes down and figured out where my hair line looked best. I figured it i screwed it up i could just buzzcut my head 🤷 itll grow back. I havent been to a barder since. Been cutting my hair for 7 years using a trifold mirror and I've had many compliments on it asking where i got it 😂.

[@TheSalonGuy]

Awesome to hear.

[@tweekend]

I wish there was a way to show this to a barber without them getting offended.

[@LatentOwl3042]

Say "I'm terrible at explaining what I want with words, could I show you a video so we know where it's going to get parted?"

[@silhouette999]

I found a barber got it right the first time. Went back a second time and he went and he his own thing and messed up half my head. Never again.

[@LtGregoryStevens]

@LatentOwl3042 imagine making a trained barber watch this 7 minute video. I bet 90% of them would be pissed off and tune it out

[@bentalls85]

I was literally practicing the speech in my head while watching this 😂

[@Schlierfy1]

thanks!. My first undercut was too low but now it goes with my natural widow peak so it kind of rides a very thin line. it is a little extreme, but I don't slick it I let it flop to the side usually.

[@aaronadoyle]

I had this happen to me in November, I cut the sides far too high with a number 1. My hair is only just growing back now, hoping to get it cut soon

[@wateriver]

I remember once I had to go get a haircut from a different barber who wasn’t my regular. He cut one side too high and the other too low. Only reason I didn’t go to my regular was because she was booked up. Needless to say, after I left at first barbershop, I went to my regular one and showed her what happened. She playfully laughed and told me “that’s what you get for going with somebody else.“ In the end, there wasn’t much I could do with the hair so I had to cut it all off and rock dad caps for a good three months.

[@lilzip5443]

Dang 😢

[@Hei1Bao4]

I haven't gone too high, but I've done too low. My issue is how to do the back by myself. I'm a beginner with cutting hair, so I have a lot to learn and this has been helpful for choosing a line.

[@Cosmo-sc6]

Is there anything we can do in the mean time when letting “too high” grow in. Like how long does it half to be? My son’s is too high, especially in the back.

[@SantiagoObscure]

Tony Kroos and CR ejemplos claros yo tengo ese problema no quiero llevar el pelo repeinado y pegarme una hora moldeando y subirme el fade no es nada nuevo pero ya no tengo 20 años como para ir demasiado agresivo

can you bring frank back? i want more haircut tutorials from frank!

[@jakehughes735]

Frank was and still is great

[@brad24231]

I had my hair up n tied back while trimming the back n sides with zero guard cuz that’s how I like it . I knicked the one side n didn’t think nothing of it . When I took my hair tie out . Nothing but loose hairs . Why can’t I figure out where they came from . Do I have to cut it ? Will it grow ? I Deff lost some volume and thickness . Ffs. Nothing noticeable but I can Deff feel it

[@DaisyHead666]

out of the both of these, I would rather a barber fuck me up and give me an undercut too low than too high. Having it too high looks way worse imho. Also, I think some people can rock a low undercut well. Kurt Cobain in 1992 and Gerard Way in the early 2010's, and it worked well for them!

[@HawksonGames]

Thanks for the video, hope your fingers are better now ☺

[@NickBEADG]

The first example is the exact problem I am having. But also, it looks ridiculous when my hair dries it's fluffy-ish. I want to be able to comb it back and no be so tall. I also need to figure out what to do with the back of my head.

[@cinnie1818]

Thank u so much I'm just learning how to do a uncut for a slight modified fauxhawk

[@punpck]

great video! I've been thinking a long time about how high the undercut should be and came to the exact same conclusion as you - perfectly aligned to the hair line 👍Also, IMHO, it also has the most aesthetic look 😊

[@brandonconnely6445]

I'm ok at cutting my own hair, Dave's me money 😂 my first undercut last night, and wish I saw this first. Doesn't look too bad, but I cut way high, just like the dummy 😅 Anyway to maybe blend the length better, or to late? I might opt for Viking style braid tho. or maybe to late

[@Shank_Sinatra]

You should have continued on to do the hard part: the back! I liked it low also but too high is a Mohawk. That’s all. Hahah thank you for the video!

[@Chris-bw3xs]

“This mannequin has an extremely high forehead.” Me: *chuckles* I’m in danger…

[@itsWantedd]

This was my mistake 3 years ago. Growing my hair the correct way now

[@kolethall2716]

I haven't finished the video yet. But when I had my undercut... The person who did it, did a good job on the top cut. But he took it WAY to far back on the back of my head. It's was terrible.

[@alexf6021]

Sometimes when I don't want to fade my hair and switch things up I do a classic undercut with the exception that I don't slick it back but do more of a side part. I use the correct parting as I use my natural part when shaving the hair off but I always think that it looks too rounded and that my natural part is high up. Any ideas what I could do without having to fade?

[@Bee-pd7oe]

Really helpful video, thank you !!

[@peterobinson9668]

I rock the viking undercut baby lets go!🤙🔥🍻

[@guidominelli1759]

Can anybody give me an advice? I have an undercut but my hair is wavy and always swells up as soon as I untie it. Would a mohawk undercut solve this?

[@Zeee145]

I’ve found that it’s looks great with a taper especially for dark hair

[@Unethical_Ethical_HackTips]

Yea but if you dont want your hair back all the time its not an issue. I think it comes down to personal preference this isnt universal for everyone

[@thechuck141]

I have had a under cut for a while instill like longer hair trying to figure out how to grow into a more normal long style I been told have to buzz it start over really don't want to do that any advice I'll take.

[@joshuachan5700]

Should I still ask for a part at that same place if I’m trying to get a 2 block for pin straight hair?

WHAT A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@someotherguy43]

My sides are basically skin fade, but i have a long top, to even everything out should i shave my entire head again?

hi i would like to ask why was my hair curly as a kid but now it is straight as a teen

[@kelleywillis3789]

Hair patterns change every 7 years. This can affect color, shape, texture, the way it lays, everything.

[@DA11111111]

I've been doing my own undercut for a year now am getting better but the top hairs take soo long to grow to sit the right length at the back reckon I've got another year to go

[@LakituKoopa]

since you're good at it, maybe you can help me out with a question: How do you cut the line when a cowlick is in the way? Tried cutting an undercut and the line went uneven after I reached the cowlick, had to go bald in the end.

[@Efflife.2]

I went too high years ago with my sidecut, years later its still sorta there cos i cant grow it out nicely.

[@okkymahardika748]

I remember got undercut to high and eventually i force my self to bald. I really dot get it why they mostly take so high hairline of undercut

[@ghostmeister8883]

my problem with getting undercuts is every time i get it cut they go higher and higher, till its a mohawk. so im starting to start the line lower.

[@NgJiaHuiAaronOpss]

why does my hair not flow down fully when i undercut as there is a gap

[@innocentrage1]

Comb your hair over to the opposite side and then just go straight up with the clippers, it will keep you from going too low or too high. Just straight up, no flick or anything. At least that has been my experience.

[@alexf6021]

That is no classic undercut. You will have to use clipper/scissor over comb to take out the hard line.

[@OrangeCounty92]

It's better to have the under cut professionally. from that point you can trim the undercut yourself when it gets long. top your hair just leave it alone. Grow it out etc. I saved a lot of money doing that for 2 years until got tired of the long hair and the undercut.

[@LakituKoopa]

mhhh that is the best way to do it. Always having trouble with my cowlick so I will let a hairdresser deal with that. After that is done, I can just buzz the sideson my own.

[@jayanochoso3159]

I asked for a mid skin fade gave me the mid skin fade but one side IS AN UNDERCUT, still growing it now, anyone can help me?

Thanks ma man

[@MaridoDoFelps]

I went to a chinese hair salon for my first side cut, and they did end up doing it too low. I did not consider when going there that in fact, chinese men LIKE their sidecut low, so the hair can flow down lol The next day i went to another one and they fixed it

I went a bit too high lol

Happened to me, I did a buzzcut and started over. Lol

[@LakituKoopa]

same here, did this mistake, tried to fix it and after 20 mins without improvement I was like "fuck it" and shaved my head. Medium long hair to bald within a few minutes.

[@seantran5011]

@@LakituKoopa yeah, its just hair, it will grow back.

[@LakituKoopa]

@@seantran5011 true, most likely it will take about 2 months to reach a short length so it won't take too long and will be back in no time. Even though it was not planned and an accident, it does not look that bad. I kind of like the new style, maybe I'll keep it for a while...
