The Stunt People film of the same name see
Undercut (film)The "undercut" is also a means of
cutting a deck of cards, used in certain
magic tricks.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" length. The bottom of the back may be either faded or square cut.
