I'm 44 but I don't care. Would I be best off going to a hairdressers or a barbers?

Hit me up with your best undercut pics.

I had one a few years ago, from late 30s to early 40s. I must have tried every barbers in town and several hairdressers, and not once did I find anyone able to shave me a decent pattern on. I had a dragonfly that looked like a star wars x wing fighter, a butterfly that looked like a Union Jack, several dismal mandalas , several times I ditched the pictures and just asked them to do whatever they could manage with no joy. Most of the time I looked like a member of Britain first. Took fucking ages to grow out .

Undercut and I also went for some mad colours! I'm 36. My 13 year old was mortified, which was the exact reason I did it, to rebel!

I also did this back in 2020, the first time I went to the hairdressers after lockdown!

You are all bloody STUNNING.

I’d have to start with an undercut to my face.

gunnersgold · 29/01/2022 17:04

I had one for a few years because I have such thick curly hair . I liked it for when my hair is down but felt it made me feel weird when it's up ( I'm 48 but very short and young looking / so I'm told ) . I'd like one again if I can I could swop it out on up days !

I am really tempted by something like Mickey Sumner’s hair in snowpiercer series 3. Will try to insert pic. Would love to be brave and do it (I’m 46 but now that I’m a bit old don’t give so much of a rat’s ass so maybe…)

@ValBiro your hair is awesome, in both the picture. I love it!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 29/01/2022 19:05

@WhyArePiratesCalledPirates you do look amazing and defo not 41.

LaurieFairyCake · 29/01/2022 19:25

My daughter (a lesbian) has hair like Snow piercer woman - though it's very long and green with an undercut back and sides

It's very cool on her

I know it's traitorous to say but all the her friends that are lesbians have undercuts Grin

@Thetruthhasgotitsbootson you remi d me if Tokyo from Money Heist!
Loving all these cuts ladies, I've been toying with this for a while and keep changing my mind but feel more inspired now.

ValBiro · 29/01/2022 21:37

Thank you @WingBingo!

justhetwoofus · 29/01/2022 21:54

Can anyone recommend shampoo and conditioner for grey hair ?
I stopped colouring my hair in the first lockdown and am now very grey!
Looking for products that stop that wiry look!

WhyArePiratesCalledPirates · 04/02/2022 21:47

Aww. Thanks. I'm feeling about a hundred so not looking my age is A proper win today! Smile

MrsBaublesDylan · 05/02/2022 07:48

I'm 48 and have had my undercut for a couple of years now.

So much easier to style. Most of my grey is at the side so in a really short clipper I look like I have silver sparkles in my hair.

I did try one hairdresser who looked horrified at the thought and eventually decided she couldn't do my hair!

MrsBaublesDylan · 05/02/2022 07:49

Forgot pic!

You all look amazing! I want an undercut now. They are super flattering but I think you are all natural beauties anyway.

3luckystars · 05/02/2022 10:59

Your skin is amazing, you don’t look 48!
You are really beautiful.

BlackMagicWimpund · 05/02/2022 21:22

Who are all these gorgeous, freakishly young-looking women?! Tempted to get an undercut in the hope that I’ll look 25 again too! Might work if I wear the long bit over my face…

LimeSegment · 05/02/2022 21:29

I'm thinking of getting one (side one) but my hair is thin (always has been), is it a bad idea because of that?

Aww...

You and your pup look great!

Chimchar · 05/02/2022 21:43

I'm 47 and have an undercut at the back of my past shoulder length hair. I've had it for years. I cut it myself every few weeks with clippers at home. It's not too difficult at all.

Do it! Grin

zighead · 05/02/2022 21:46

Oh I did not know what they were called, but I so want one. Sadly don't think I'm brave enough or cool enough Blush

dubyalass · 05/02/2022 21:47

I had one for a few years, the back and one side. My hairdresser loved doing it, was a change from the shampoo and sets she usually did.

On the curly hair front, a friend has gorgeous dark brown curls and also has an undercut. It looks fantastic on her. My undercut inspiration is Dame Kelly Holmes, she has fantastic hair.

Lottapianos · 05/02/2022 21:50

You totally can have an undercut if you have curly hair. Mine is very similar to this at the moment
