5 Best Haircuts for Men with
Early Hair Thinning
Losing your hair is never a good feeling, most men tend to feel self-conscious about it. Some men decide to completely shave off their heads or constantly wear a hat. One of the most common insecurities men face is hair thinning; for some men, it starts as early as in their 20s. The loss of confidence really starts to affect the way men do their hair and the types of hair cuts they get. Men start to worry about how they will be perceived by friends, family, and colleagues. Hair thinning should not be the cause of self distraughtness, and it should not limit men to have to continuously cover their heads. CADMEN Barbershop has compiled a list of the top 5 best haircuts for men experiencing early hair loss.
Two Block Haircut for Men: The Korean Style Explained
Two Block Haircut for Men: The Korean Style Explained
The two block haircut is a Korean men's hairstyle that became globally popular through K-pop and Korean entertainment in the 2010s. It features a long top section and a closely clipped or shaved interior section (the sides and back), creating a clean contrast between the full hair on top and the short interior. Here is how it works.
The Structure
The "two block" name describes the two distinct sections of the style: the longer outer section (top and a thin outer frame around the sides) and the shorter interior section (the bulk of the sides and back, clipped close). When the top hair falls naturally downward, it covers and flows over the short interior, creating a rounded, soft silhouette. When the hair is pushed back or lifted, the close-clipped interior is visible. The effect is softer and more natural-looking than a standard Western undercut because the top section typically retains enough length to fall naturally rather than being styled up or back.
How It Differs from a Standard Undercut
A Western-style undercut typically involves styling the top section upward or backward (slick back, pompadour, or quiff) to expose the contrast between the long top and the shaved or short sides. The two block cut is typically worn with the top hair falling forward and downward, covering the interior cut and creating a soft, flowing silhouette. The contrast is most visible when the hair is wet, pushed aside, or lifted. The intent is a natural, low-maintenance daily look rather than a structured styled appearance.
The Top Length
Top lengths range from 3 to 7 inches or more. The most common versions sit at 3 to 5 inches, long enough to fall over the ears and partially cover the short interior at the sides. Longer versions (5 to 7 inches) produce a more pronounced curtain-over-short-sides effect. The interior section is typically cut to a 1 or 2 guard or shaved, providing clean contrast against the longer outer hair.
Who It Works For
The two block cut works best on men with straight to slightly wavy hair because the top section needs to fall naturally and stay in a downward direction. Curly or coily hair that grows outward rather than falling downward will produce a different silhouette than the intended soft natural look. Straight Asian hair in particular responds very well to this cut because of its natural tendency to fall flat and smooth. Men with naturally straight or slightly wavy hair of any ethnic background can achieve the intended silhouette.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you communicate the two block cut to a barber?
Show a reference photo. The two block cut is well-known in barbershops that serve diverse clientele and in cities with significant Korean and Korean-American communities; many barbers in North America know the term. If showing a photo: point to the top length you want and the interior cut height. Describe it as: "long on top, clipped short on the sides and back with no blend between the two sections." The key detail is that there is no fade or gradual transition; the long and short sections meet at a relatively clear boundary.
Does the two block haircut require much styling?
Minimal. The design intention is a natural, low-styling-effort daily look. A light serum or hair oil on the top section adds smoothness and a healthy finish. Some men use a light mousse while the hair is damp and let it air dry for a slightly fuller texture. The two block is chosen by many men precisely because it looks intentional without daily product work; the contrast between the interior clip and the falling top hair creates a styled appearance that requires little active styling to maintain day-to-day.
