If you grew up in the ’90s, then maybe you’re a little hesitant to rock the faux undercut. After all, that was a time when girls listened to Nirvana and gave f*ck all about the man and landing a job at Starbucks. They casually took razors to the sides of their heads with the same ease as you’d add sugar to your coffee. These days, in tribute to wilder times perhaps, girls are rocking the faux undercut, which lets you hold onto your hair while still having a rock n’ roll edge. Kristen Stewart sported side braids with lose hair on top during Paris Couture Week, and Cara Delevingne (above with Iman) rocks a faux undercut to red carpets and music fests and everything in between. Our favourite way to rock the trend is with a tight French braid on both sides with wild hair on top. There’s no need to take a straightening iron to your hair either since this trend looks best when you’re going a bit grunge with wild, stringy hair. Channel your inner rock goddess of the ’90s and give ‘er.
