24. Short Curly Temple Area. Short temples add certain edginess to girly looks, and they look absolutely gorgeous when mixed with curly hair, reflecting both your feminine and rebellious sides.

25. Long Hair with Shaved Lines. What’s good about these cuts is that you can easily hide your undershave by sweeping your hair to the other side or leave it out for all to see. Whether you choose the lines or something more complex, a side shave and long hair are an interesting match.

26. Platinum Blonde Short Fade. A Hollywood favorite with a near-invisible fading design will absolutely complement your jawline and sharp cheekbones.

27. Combed Back Pixie. The piece-y texture of this cut is elevated through lots of lift at the roots which gives it an airy feel enhanced even further with the buzzed sides.

31. Pixie with Long Bangs. This cut gets the volume maximized in the front with long and heavily layered bits of hair which appear even more voluminous against the short sides.

32. Undershave with Lilac Waves. While sharp disconnected styles can look incredibly bold and fierce, bright lilac and purple shades in loose ringlets definitely create a lovely soft feel around the sharper elements.

33. Purple and Silver Unicorn Pixie. Various unicorn shades of purple and blue stand out nicely in the textured Mohawk, while the shaved area gets an accessory of its own – silver glitter.

35. Red Colored Long Cut. A classic for longer haired girls. You can choose yourself whether you want to show off what’s under your mane or switch the parting and cover it for more formal occasions.

36. Short Sides Long Top Pixie. Older ladies sometimes tend to avoid undershave designs, thinking that it’s better to keep it more classic. Does any shaved design look bold, even a basic one? You choose, but look at this haircut. With most of the hair close to the face, you will get a casual look with just the right amount of volume and texture.

37. Short Layered Thick Hair. If you want to stop worrying about styling your cropped locks with an undershave, add some layers to it, and use a texturizing spray to create definition and volume.
