HOW TO: Disconnected Undercut
With Wahl Artistic and Education Team member 5ive.
How to create a disconnected undercut, a step by step guide.
Step 1
To start the disconnected undercut, put in fade baseline using the Cordless Detailer Li, with high precision T-Blade.
Step 2
Create bald fade up to baseline using the Finale.
With the highest quality hypoallergenic gold, the Finale’s ultra-fine foil enables a 01.mm cutting length.
Step 3
#2 guide comb with taper open then closed with your chosen clipper, 5ive uses the Genio Pro. Then blend on the angle and fade out map line to #0.
Step 4
Switch to a #1 guide comb with taper open then closed and blend on the angle and fade out map line
Step 5
No guide comb with taper open and then #2 guide comb with taper open
Step 6
Stretch out fade with no guide comb and taper open, remove bulk and taper sides
Step 7
Cut layers starting from the crown, working left to right using vertical sections. Over direct ½ inch sections back to guide
Step 8
Switch to the All-in-One Blade (position 1) and create texture using ‘flick & smack’ motion. Then move to position 2 and peel through sections.
Step 9
Dry front using scrunch technique and back using a vent brush
Step 10
Using the Cordless Detailer Li again, create a hard parting and shape up hairline.
Step 11
Sharpen lines with a Shave Razor, first applying Pre-Shave Oil for a smooth, irritation-free shave.
Step 12
Style to finish. 5ive uses Academy Klay for a matt, textured finish.
