Disconnected Undercut Hairstyle for men

A bold disconnected undercut with a sharp, dramatic contrast between the long top and closely shaved sides. The top is 4-5 inches long, slicked back or swept to one side with a matte finish. The sides are buzzed to a #1 or skin fade with NO gradual blending—there is a distinct, hard line where the long top meets the shaved sides. The disconnect creates a striking, high-contrast look. Clean lineup at the forehead and temples.
