Summer Hairstyle Feature: Brushed Up and Undercut
Saturday, April 05, 2014
Summer heat brings our sense of style to waste. We tend to do everything on the comfortable side, from breezy clothing down to a buzz cuts(semi-kalbo) for men. As for me, I usually let my hair grow long during summer, enduring the scorching heat and flipping my hair everywhere. That used to be my style, my summer way. But due to all the changes in time, in the weather, climate change everywhere, there are awesome hairstyles now that is still stylish but in-season as well. Two of the trending styles nowadays, Brushed Up and Undercut, may just fit for your summer expeditions and summer styles. They're pretty much close to each other but there's a big difference when it comes to the person sporting it. I realized that just now. Read till the end to find out why.
The Brushed Up hairstyle. This is just the pumped up version of a slick back style. It has better volume and looks better than a slick back. Also, notice how the sides of the hair is a lot shorter than the top? It provides better styling especially to those who likes keeping their hair long but always gets those unwanted protruding hair especially on the sides. This also fits those who wants to keep their hair long but doesn't want the sides of their hair blocking their ears. This hairstyle also have a short back, really fit for summer. This looks good on most guys. Overtime, when the sides grow longer, the styling tends to be harder since the sides will start to get in the way but if you keep them trimmed, I guess it won't be a problem.
As for me, since I have that low volume hair, the brushed up hairstyle helps in making it look thick. One big benefit of this is that it keeps the bangs away.
The Undercut. Can also be called as the side cut. This is the cleaner and shorter version of the brushed up. The hair on the sides and back is shorter, close to a shaved hair look. It takes a long time to grow and breezier than the brushed up. Undercuts tend to get that brushed up look overtime. The problem with undercuts is that is really picks the person who it wants to look good with. Others sporting this style doesn't quite make the appeal for undercuts. Although the top is a lot more manageable when it comes to styling. Again, it takes time to grow, perfect for your two-month long summer vacation if you want to maintain your long hair.
I just got this haircut and it doesn't quite fit me, maybe because I don't usually get my hair short as this but it will grow on me overtime. Whenever I try a new hairstyle, they don't instantly make that fitting-look on me, they take time to grow and sync with me. Also, I haven't tried styling this hair on my own yet and I'll see how I'm going to work with it.
There you have it. Do you have any plans on getting either of the two? Comment down below you insights and comments regarding these two looks.

Nice choices of hairstyles! I had my hair on undercut and style it either high sided quiff/slick back or straight peaked cut. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I can't do straight peaked cut on my hair since it doesn't like standing up.
DeleteI think this haircut would suit my boyfriend very much. Although it does resemble pigeotto (pokemon)
ReplyDeleteNow that you've mentioned it, it does resemble pigeotto. Would look perfect with some highlights and it'd be an accurate pigeotto already.
DeleteThe hairstyle choices are right for the summer and very presko. Sana pati girls pwedeng ganyan this summer :))
ReplyDeleteThis kind of hairstyle is not only for guys, the very first person na nakita kong naka-ganto was Miley Cyrus. Nakakainggit nga eh, madalas, mas bagay sa girls.
DeleteI will go for that modern undercut look - very manly and very celebrity hair style. I used to have undercut style but with the longer version and that is back 1999 he he.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love that UnderCut hairstyle. It would make men appear more handsome and clean!
ReplyDeleteYoungsters nowadays as I observed usually styled their hair, undercut. It's good to look at and clean, fits for summer heat.
ReplyDeleteJust met up with my hairdresser earlier today. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to see this post. I should've asked for an undercut haircut.
ReplyDeleteI guess undercut is a nice haircut this months as it's more comfortable with the heat of the sun now.
ReplyDeleteI like this hairstyle for men. The undercut look makes a guy look manly and at the same time gives him that refreshing and clean look.
ReplyDeleteI remember when undercut was so popular in the Philippines during the 90's. Even women tried it. Very nice post. Cut my long hair to and tried the bob cut for summer.
ReplyDeleteI love how guys now adays get vain as well like girls. I even guys putting powder on their face or lipgloss though it looks good to do it at the same time with the hair to look ultimately sleek! x0~ www.tauyanm.com
ReplyDeleteI like the brushed up hairstyle most! I even recommended that to my boyfriend last week and he liked it too! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool one - though surely not everyone can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I would agree. These hairstyles really suits the summer heat. I've seen some of guy friends who already have this.
ReplyDeleteThese hairstyles certainly fit for this summer, especially the undercut which looks very clean.
ReplyDeleteI've seen undercut hairstyles even in women. Miley Cyrus fever maybe?
