An undercut in progress
The undercut is a haircut much like a bowl cut except the ridge of the bowl is not where the cutting ends. The ridge of the bowl is lifted so the hair is clipper cut further up the side of the head an additional one to two inches. This allows the head to be shaken and the bowl look will always return to its regular shape. The sides may either be "white-walled" or cut to 1/8" (3 mm) length. The bottom of the back may be either faded or square cut.
An undercut refers more generally to any hairstyle where the sides and/or back of the head are closely trimmed or shaved while hair on top of the head remains long. Such hairstyles are popular among rivetheads and members of the cyber subculture.
