Popularized by Korean actors and K-pop idols, the two block haircut is a fresh and versatile haircut that’s taken over TikTok. The cut features shaved sides, a faded back, and longer hair on top, and since it can be styled however you like, it suits a variety of face shapes and hair textures. In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the two block haircut, including how to style, maintain, and ask your barber for the look.
Things You Should Know
- The two block haircut features longer hair in the crown area and shorter hair on the sides and back, making it a cross between the mushroom cut and the undercut.
- To request the two block haircut, ask for an undercut on the sides, “ice pick” sideburns, and a light taper or fade in the back. Add layers and texture on top to soften up the crown.
- Since the hair on top is longer than the sides, the two block cut can be styled to suit your specific face shape and hair texture—it works well on straight, wavy, curly, and textured hair.
