About the Two Block Cut for Women
Who it suits
A high-contrast cut for straight to lightly wavy hair with decent top density. It suits oval and longer faces, and the disconnected sides can balance a rounder face by keeping width low. Best for those wanting a bold modern shape who don't mind frequent upkeep on the short sections.
How to ask for it
Ask for a disconnected two-block: clipper the back and sides short or shaved with a hard line, while leaving the crown and top long enough to hang freely over the disconnection. Request the top kept one length to drape, point-cut at the ends for softness, and the fringe left long to sweep down or part naturally.
Upkeep & styling
Re-clip the sides every two to three weeks to keep the contrast sharp; trim the top every six to eight weeks. Style the top with a light cream or leave-in and a quick blow-dry to control the drape. Minimal product keeps the look clean.
Two Block Cut — frequently asked questions
What is the difference from an undercut?
Both disconnect short sides from a long top, but the two-block keeps the top one length to hang straight down over the sides, rather than styled up or back.
How often do the sides need re-cutting?
Every two to three weeks. The short blocks grow out fastest and lose their crisp contrast quickly, so frequent clipper touch-ups keep the shape sharp.
Does a two-block suit thick hair?
Yes. Thicker top hair drapes well over the disconnection, and clippering the sides removes bulk so the overall shape stays clean rather than bushy.
Can I grow it out easily?
The top grows in smoothly, but the disconnected sides leave a noticeable step. A stylist can blend the line into a softer taper as it grows for an easier transition.
