I've been wanting a change my hair for a while now, and I saw a few pictures of undercuts. I think they're beautiful, but would it look okay on me? And what difficulties would there be when it grows out? Thank you guys! Also I'd be getting a design similar to this one :)

I think they're so awesome! Talk to your stylist to decide a style that's best for you, the good thing about them is they're easy to cover up while they're growing out if you part them right! I think you'd look so hot with one on the side!

I love undercuts. I'm debating on whether to get one or not myself!

I have an undercut and my sides shaved. it made styling my hair so much easier. the good thing about undercuts is that you can hide them. so whenever you wanna grow it out you don't have to show the awkward growing out phase

I use to have a under cut but it was higher up then the picture.Just make sure it's something you want to do and like the Ladies mention when it grows out just hide it until growth is at the length you are happy with. :) go for it have fun!

There was a topic two days ago on this. I'd read it too. http://www.beautylish.com/t/ipquiv/opinions-on-under-haircut
But here's what I wrote :)
I'd do it ;) I will never ever go back to not having my sides shaved. Your head will just feel lighter lol.
But be careful with designs, don't get them unless you plan on going to your hair dresser every few days. After a day or two of growth they look awful. I had little lines cut into mine (kinda like ruby rose) and after two days it just looked awful, because the hair doesn't grow exact evenly and so it looks very sloppy after a few days, I ended up just shaving it off.

Thank you so much @Alyx! I'll definitely put that into consideration! Do you think this design would work better with it growing out?

Well that's similar to what I had, and it didn't work well for me lol. But if you just have a pair of clippers that someone can shave it for you (I bought a 40$ kit at shoppers drug mart and I get my mom to help me) than do any design you want, and when it grows out in a few days you can shave it all down. :) also keep in mind those designs are usually completely bald, like the little lines there are probably at 3mm and the rest at like 16 or higher. That's what my hair dresser does anyways. When it's not short to next long hair the design won't stand out

No problem! I absolutely love mine. I am going to get the back of my head done too, I have both sides so it's kinda like a long Mohawk, but I want the back done soon too. It's so much lighter on my head. I have very thick hair too, so it's nice, but even if you had thin hair I think it'd be a life changer. It takes less time to style or dry, takes less time to do everything. And it feels soo good just on your head is lighter. Plus it feels neat when you rub the shaved bits lol.

Does your head ever get cold? Just curious lol I've always wondered about it!

Yes actually! Lol only during the really cold months (in Canada) and only if I go less than 9mm in length lol. I usually just shave it all to 3mm so I can go longer (like two months almost) without having to reshave it, but in the winter I'll keep it at 9 or 13mm and shave it weekly lol. But it'll be the back of your neck so unless you have your hair up it'll be covered by the rest of your hair.
