A bob undercut for thick hair isn’t just about removing weight. It’s about designing a shape that looks intentional, feels balanced, and moves naturally. Left too heavy, thick hair can make a bob look bulky or boxy. This is where visual free form technique makes all the difference.

In this short undercut for thick hair tutorial, Russell shows you a clear, step-by-step approach using Jatai Osaka Scissors by BMAC, a Feather Plier Razor and Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors by BMAC paired with a subtle undercut. The undercut isn’t there for show—it’s there to remove weight and structure, allowing the visible shape and style to stay clean, light, and wearable.

You’ll learn:
– How to section thick hair for even control and visual balance
– Where to place an undercut to reduce volume without disrupting the external shape
– How to use the Feather Plier Razor to create soft, controlled lines with movement and fluidity

The tutorial is not about creating a fade with the undercut or anything too bold. It's about creating undercuts to reduce the mushroom look that can often be a problem with thick hair styles. Styling this look is easy when the shape is cut to compliment the face. Whether a light or dark hair color, this look is classic.
