The trendiest way to express yourself and look like a badass, the undercut is one of the hottest hairstyles of the year. From geometric patterns to tribal motifs, there's something for everyone.

The undercut is a style that has been popular since the Edwardian Era (AKA the early 1900s). Traditionally, the hairstyle is a popular pick for males, but in recent years, more and more women have been seen sporting the edgy look. An undercut gives you the freedom to express yourself, like a tattoo, but without the permanence. Life's way too short to have boring hair, so browse through some of our favorites from Instagram and get inspired.
