View Full Version : Gave myself an undercut!

I'm a bad LHC-er... I'm still impulsive when it comes to my hair, and I often get the urge to cut my hair and then immediately go into the bathroom with a pair of scissors and just cut away. I never regret it, though. To me it really is just hair.

I've now given myself an undercut. I was going to do only one side, but I ended up doing both sides.

I took these pictures after cutting only the one side... I would have taken photos of what my hair looks like now, but my camera's out of battery, and I can't find the charger.

Depending on where I part my hair or what I do with it, I can decide whether I don't want it to show at all that I have an undercut, whether I want it to show on only one side, or whether I want it to show on both.

I have to say, it looks pretty awesome with a dutch braid (haven't tried a french yet, but I assume that would look good too). It's like a braid-hawk! :)

I'm off to bed now, but I might try to look some more for my charger tomorrow, or borrow my roomie's camera.

ETA: It might look like I have baldish patches, but that's just un-dyed regrowth.

This doesn't make you a bad LHCer. Everyone here does what makes them happiest on their own long hair journey.

It looks good so far though. :) I can't believe you were able to do that on yourself!

I actually really like it, it really flatters your profile, you're very pretty :) I love the color of your hair and the wavy curls! Well done with the undercut.

I had the urge to do this just on one side a few months ago, its so cute! But I couldn't work up the courage and the urge has now past. Looks great on you, make sure you post the pic of both sides when you can!

Ooo, it looks so cool!! I could never get away with that, but it looks fantastic on you :D

I hope you will post more pics! I want to see what it looks like with both sides done, and the braid-hawk :D:D

I like it on you. You can definitely pull it off. I want to see some pics with a Dutch braid, I'm sure it looks awesome.

I like it! You definitely pull it off. I guess you can show it or not depending on the situation. I've been tempted to try it, but I don't really want to go through the work to either maintain it or grow it out.

I really love this hairstyle and I've had it myself for two years straight a couple years back. I got a ton of compliments on it (though I cut a smaller part of my hair than you did) but it was/is a pain to grow out:p that part is still just a few inches below my chin (I let it grow out about a year ago).

Gorgeous! I love undercuts and I keep thinking of getting one. I do think it takes guts though.

It looks really nice on you!! If I were to have a shorter hairstyle, I'd definately go for this...really cool!

Ooooh, I love it! You're so pretty, and this really suits you. Not to mention, it was really brave of you to do that on your own.

It looks awesome on you!! It suits your beautiful face very nicely.
I wish I had the face-shape and the confidence to rock an undercut like you do.

That looks awesome on you, takes a lot of courage, I wanted to get one as well, but was too afraid it wouldn't look good on me.

Good thing is you look gorgeous and it suits you so well. Bad thing is now you know you'd look amazing bald. I see more experiments in your future :p

I love it! I have a complete undercut (goes all the way around my head, around the sides) I love how easy it is to take care of.

I love this so much. If it was a few years ago and I wasn't interviewing for teaching jobs, I would totally have done this. So jealous! :)

I think an undercut would be awesome but I don't think I could put up with the regrowth tbh.

Wow, that looks so good on you!! I always wanted to try something like that but I don't have the guts to go through with it.

I think it really looks great on you! I love in when people take the chance and do something like that. Am trying to convince my cousin to get a feather cut. She'll look sooo good and she IS trying to be all hip and punk rock, but apparently she thinks a feather cut is taking it too far :shrug:

I think you pull that off amazingly! Not all people could do that on impulse and then pull it off so well, congrats! :)

its very rare that i think a woman looks good with an undercut, but you look amazing! I hope you can post pictures soon of it braided

I'm amazed at the amount of kind comments. Thank you so much, everyone! :)

I just found my camera battery charger, and am charging the battery right now. I'm about to wash my hair, though, so I'm afraid the pictures will have to wait until tomorrow!

So cool! I love the braid :D :D I could never pull this look off with my just-barely-a-ii-volume hair, but it looks awesome on you. Also, I'm impressed you were able to do that on your own hair - it looks completely professional!

Looks great! Your hair still looks thick! Any idea of your before/after ponytail circumference?

Thinthondiel
December 14th, 2011, 11:10 AM
I have no idea what my ponytail circumference used to be, but right now it's 3 inches (not including the bangs - I'm growing them out, but they're still too short to get into a ponytail).

Again, thanks for all the nice comments, everyone! :)

Very, very beautiful. With your features, it looks just perfect. And don't worry, I'm also still impulsive! I got an undercut (in the back, so it's hidden when my hair is down) just a few months ago. It's a bit of a pain to grow out, but it's not like my hair is that long to begin with. It just helps to find new go-to styles. Also, don't think I'm weird but I think you have a pretty nose.

NymphSpirit
December 18th, 2011, 09:01 PM
All I'll say (with all the negativity) is that I used to shave the sides of my head and two of my friends did too. Growing it out is horrible. Just today we were talking about it. And we all have short hair (apl, shldr and pixie) but we discussed how horrible it looked when it was growing and how the hairs sticked out in weird angles all the time, and how SLOW it grows in that whole area. I'm not saying this to bring you down, but to let you know, in case you decide you're tired of it. Eventually. Regards...
