Man Bun with Undercut

About the Man Bun with Undercut

Cut & Silhouette: Description: Long top hair gathered into a high, compact bun with very short, slicked-back or faded sides and back, creating a sharp contrast. Key Details: The hair from the temples, sides, and back is either cut very short (faded/tapered) or pulled back extremely tightly, presenting a clean, defined perimeter. The long top hair is pulled tautly towards the crown and secured into a small, tight bun. There is a high-contrast disconnect between the long gathered hair and the very short or slicked-back areas. Ear coverage: above-ear (ears fully exposed). Sideburns: very short, faded/clipped to skin above the tragus. Nape/neckline: Tapered very short to skin (inferred from visible sides). Length: Overall: Long hair gathered into a bun of approximately 1.5 in (4 cm) diameter and 1.5 in (4 cm) height. If loose, the longest hair would be an estimated 7-8 in (18-20 cm). Front: All hair pulled back from the hairline. Sides: Clipped or faded very short, likely 0.25–0.5 in (0.5–1 cm) at the top of the ear, tapering to skin. Back/Nape: Not fully visible, but appears to match the short, tapered sides. Fringe: No fringe; all hair pulled back. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: All front hair is smoothly pulled back from the forehead and temples, integrated into the high bun. Parting: No distinct part line visible; hair is slicked back from the natural hairline. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Straight (Type 1A). Styled Finish: Extremely sleek, tightly pulled, and smooth with a polished, slightly glossy finish. Appears to be achieved with a strong-hold product. Hold level 4/5 (strong gel or pomade). Volume & Density: Description: Very low volume on the sides and crown due to the hair being tightly pulled back. The bun itself provides a localized, compact volume at the top of the crown. Thickness: Medium to thick density where gathered. Color: Base Color: Medium brown, neutral-cool tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Subtle, fine cool-toned blonde/grey highlights are mixed throughout the longer hair, creating a blended effect. Roots appear slightly darker than mid-lengths/ends.
