Colored easy undercut styles are fantastic. The vibrant tones accentuate the undercut women’s style and maintain its shapes much longer as it grows out.
Hoffman goes on to say, “it can be so liberating to only deal with half of that dense hair, 50% less dry and styling time, less product needed to tame the mane, and endless styling possibilities. Undercuts can have a side shave with the designs, too, if you’re looking to pack more punch with your next haircut.”

#6: Elegant Geometric Undercut Design
Female undercut styles such as geometric or aztec patterns with lines can be both stylish and playful. This particular design features straight lines with a well-defined structure, notes hair artist Michelle Marks of Santa Maria, CA.
Marks also highlights the importance of considering the grow out. “They’re exciting, and you can alter the design approximately every 3 weeks due to the fast growth. A key reason many women opt for an undercut is to lessen the thickness of their hair. Once it’s shaved underneath, it significantly reduces weight on the head. When women pull their hair up, they can truly display their distinctive flair with a creatively designed undercut.”

K.D. O’Hair, a level 2 stylist and team member of Melissa’s believes, “everyone should take a hair risk every once in a while to try something different. It may change your entire life and leave you with something you cherish even more.” She adds, “if you’re hesitant, you can have designed undercuts concealed by your long hair. It can actually take an unnecessary amount of weight out for thick hair within the nape undercut area. So you can style your undercut more easily.”

Sport a chic pixie cut with shaved sides and artistic designs for a striking undercut. Consult with your stylist to determine the extent of the shave and the type of design to create.

#21: Chic Simple Undercut Hairstyle in Red Copper Hue
“Not only does the girl in the photo show the buzzed side that distinguishes her from others, but the unique design adds an extra touch to such a long hair undercut. Elegance is key when it comes to undercut designs,” explains senior barber and stylist Luisa Torres of Portland, OR.
Luisa also advises you to ensure that the undercut does not overshadow the rest of the hair. “With the striking hair and undercut underneath that complements it, everyone is going to admire your undercut styles. This undercut long hair is also an excellent choice for women who are a bit edgy and appreciate vibrant colors.”
Courtney Sholes, another stylist in Portland, OR, adds that “undercut designs can be placed in various areas depending on the designs, at different sizes, like the nape or sides. An undercut will draw attention regardless of the placement, so you need to consider that before choosing to buzz off a significant amount of length.”
When it comes to the grow-out process, Sholes mentions, “hair typically grows only a half inch a month, so it will take quite a while to reach the original length. With that being said, you’ll be seeing a barber or stylist more regularly to trim it to a nice manageable length before it becomes unkempt. This usually happens every four weeks.”
Both Hair MW stylists concur that, “if you’re contemplating getting an undercut, be aware that the designs require high maintenance! It will need to be trimmed and the design redone roughly every two weeks. Sometimes an outline is necessary for a very intricate undercut. There are numerous stylish undercut designs readily available.”

#25: Stunning Undercut Floral Design
“This is a shaved side symmetrical floral design on long layered hair,” explains style creator and director of marking Dennis Colpitts of the BaBylissPRO in Stamford, CT. “The greatest part of this design is that you can either expose the design for a night out or cover it by letting the long layers fall over the top of the design. There’s also integration of design on top of the shaved side.”
When it comes to styling, Dennis adds, “when the design is fresh use a little bit of pomade/wax on the design to help add depth and contrast from the shorter/longer shaved lengths. The design will start to grow back in the first 2 weeks. So if it’s something you choose to keep you can continue to get different patterns to change it up. If you don’t want to continue on then you can cover the shaved side with your longer layers while the hair continues to grow.”
