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.

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

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.

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.

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-ubzr]

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.

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.

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

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.

[mylena]

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

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

[guidodraheim]

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.

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

[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.

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 😂.

[Schlierfy]

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.

[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.

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
