I've been ITCHING to get an undercut... however, I just dyed my hair black, and I'm afraid when my undercut starts growing out, my peach fuzz will be PLATINUM BLONDE (my baby hairs are that color). Anyone here has light hair dyed black with an undercut? How does it look when it starts growing out? How often do you need to touch it up?

It's definitely noticeable -- you'd need to dye it frequently to avoid the "floating hair" syndrome (blonde roots with dark ends make it look like your hair is levitating off your head). And it's hard to avoid getting dye on your scalp, which is *also* noticeable!!
On the other hand, I think two-tone undercuts look really neat -- I wouldn't dye it underneath at all, you could have a cool black-and-blonde 'do!! I guess the only thing to worry about when growing it out would be the black bleeding onto the blonde and turning it greyish . . . how much does your black dye bleed when you wash it? -- Andi |

Ooh ooh! ::raises her hand::
I've got blonde hair usually dyed black (taking a break and being blonde for awhile, but MAN am I feeling the itch to go back black). Here's my two cents... Yes, it can look odd if you dye the undercut area and then it grows out to blonde.. But.. the benefit is, shaved blonde hair is less noticable than black regrowth, so my undercut always looked freshly shaved.. So everytime I touched up my roots, I'd shave my undercut first, dye everything but the undercut, and just reshave the undercut when the blonde got long enough to be obviously another color.  But then again, I like my undercut nearly to the skin.. tingly good.

I had an undercut a little while ago. My hair is naturally light reddish brown, but I've beend dying it black for quite some time now.
It didn't look too bad when it grew out, although I'm sure a blonde undercut would look a lot better. The two tone blonde/black thing looks pretty cool. You could also just shave it every second day (or every day), that way you won't get the blonde peach fuzz. It can be a hassle at times, though.
