A disconnected undercut has the disconnected sides and top, and that is why it is called this way. The transition of the hair from a longer top and to shorter sides is far from being gradual. On the contrary, there is a vivid spot where short hair ends and long hair begins.

Such an undercut works great for babes who wish for a contemporary, exciting appearance. It manages to combine the qualities of an elegant quiff and a daring pompadour at the same time, resulting in a fun and attention-drawing hairstyle that can complement a somewhat hipster aesthetic.

Now let’s discuss this topic in greater detail.

Short Disconnected Undercut

Here are some tips for getting disconnected short haircuts:

First of all, find the hair cut that you will show to the hairstylist. You can pick one here, by the way.

Keep in mind that you will need to have much length on top in order to get this haircut with a sharp contrast. Otherwise, that unique, disconnected effect will be unachievable. When it comes to the length, it is totally up to a woman to decide. However, 2 inches will be just great. Also, no matter how short your top is, you can always experiment with its texture. On shorter lengths, it can be a well-defined textured finish with a distinctively shaped top. Or, you can create spikes using a very thick clue or pomade so that the hair will hold its shape. If your hair is long enough for brushed-up styling, you can create a voluminous look by brushing your well-gelled top. It pretty much depends on the look you want to achieve and on your mood as well.

As for the sides of a disconnected undercut, they must be shaved, and that will require number 2-number 4 razor clipper setting. In case you wish for a close-cut, neat look, then you can ask your hair stylist to touch up the neckline edges and sides – this can be done with a number 0-number 1 clipper.

As for the top area of the head, your hairstylist will not cut it. Instead, he or she might brush it back. This will grant that contrast that is peculiar to the disconnected cut. And keep in mind that longer tresses on top will guarantee the tall hair appearance and more volume boost. Also, longer tresses will only enhance that startling contrast seen between the sides and top, which is exactly what you need.

And as for the neckline, here you can go as wild as you want. We can reassure you that both a tapered and blocked neckline will work great for a disconnected short cut.

In these pictures, you can see that models sport intriguing side undercut designs that can be easily hidden with their longer tresses. But besides the bold undercuts, these looks involve especially vivid colors that are striking even on their own.

FAQ: Disconnected Undercut

What’s the difference between disconnected undercut and undercut?

The way the hair transitions from the longer crown to the shorter sides is the main thing that distinguishes disconnected undercut from the simple undercut. The fade blends gently in a typical undercut, but it’s apparent and even exaggerated in a disconnected undercut.

How do you fade an undercut?

Use the clipper to cut the hair. You can either begin on the left side and work your way back to the right, or begin on the right side and work your way back to the left. Set the clipper to the desired mode if you want to fade your undercut. Cut your hair on all sides to the middle of the disconnect line.

Is an undercut blended?

When you have an undercut, the hair on the top of your head (the top section on the sides and back) is trimmed away. A barber will use this section to merge the haircut sides into the top.
