TWO BLOCK HAIRCUT: 2025 STYLING GUIDE FOR MEN & WHO IT SUITS BEST

July 2, 2025
From K-Drama stars to barbershop chairs in Rhodes, the Two Block Haircut has become a go-to style for men chasing a modern, youthful edge. Originally made famous by Korean pop culture icons, this cut is now trending across the globe, blending sharp structure with wearable versatility. Whether you're working with thick locks, wavy texture, or thinning hair, this guide explores how the Two Block style can work for you in 2025.

What is a Two Block Haircut?

The name says it all: the Two Block haircut features two distinct "blocks" or layers.

  • Top Block: Longer, often styled wavy or messy.
  • Lower Block: Shorter back and sides, either with a taper or skin fade.

It’s similar to a disconnected undercut, but with a softer transition and more styling versatility.

Think of it as the Korean cousin to the Western undercut, but with more flair and texture.

Korean Two Block vs Western Undercut

  • Korean Two Block: Natural, flowy texture; mid-length fringe; often layered.
  • Western Undercut: High contrast; sharp fades; slicked or combed back.

In 2025, the fusion of these styles is on the rise, adding structure without losing character.

The shorter block is often a taper fade or just a taper.

The longer block can be parted, swept forward or back and is usually worn wavy, textured and messy.

Where did the two block hairstyle originate?

Before making a move onto the global scene the two block aesthetic was popularised by fashion forward KPOP artists and by those in Korea’s celebrity circles. Take a look at any male Korean drama actor and you will likely be looking at a well perfected two block aesthetic.

Who Suits the Two Block Haircut?

The Two Block style is incredibly adaptable. Here’s how it works across different hair types and face shapes:

1. Thick, Straight Hair  → Perfect for structure and volume on top

2. Wavy or Textured Hair  → Embrace the messier aesthetic with natural movement

3. Thinning or Receding Hairlines  → Opt for a shorter top and faded sides to balance proportions

4. Face Shape Matters:

  • Round/Oval: Add volume on top to elongate the face
  • Angular/Jaw-heavy: Use fringe and layers to soften edges

Popular Two Block Variations in 2025

1. Classic Two Block

  • Long top, neatly layered
  • Tapered sides with a low fade

2. Textured Korean Two Block

  • Mid-length fringe with waves or curls
  • Ideal for youthful, laid-back look

3. Skin Fade Two Block

  • High-contrast fade on the sides
  • Best for edgy, fashion-forward style

4. Two Block with Curtain Bangs

  • Front fringe parted in the middle
  • Makes a comeback thanks to retro-90s influence

5. Two Block for Thin Hair

  • Use light layering to add volume
  • Keep sides tight for reduced contrast

Styling Tips for the Two Block Haircut

  • Use sea salt spray or styling powder for volume and movement
  • Finish with matte clay for texture without shine
  • Avoid heavy waxes or pomades, they flatten the style
Pro Tip: Blow-dry the fringe forward or upward to add lift and reduce the visibility of thinning

What to Ask Your Barber

Don’t just say “Two Block”—get specific:

  • Desired top length? (Short / Medium / Long)
  • Fade preference? (Low / Mid / Skin)
  • Styling goals? (Messy, Clean, Voluminous)

Also bring a reference photo—especially if you’re going for a K-pop look or celebrity-inspired variation.

At Barber Industries Rhodes, we tailor each Two Block to your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle.

Maintenance & Upkeep

  • Trim frequency: Every 2–4 weeks to maintain the fade
  • Daily styling: 3–5 minutes with the right tools
  • Shampooing: Use lightweight formulas to avoid greasy buildup

Final Thoughts

Whether you're after a modern twist or a cultural nod, the Two Block haircut remains one of the most flattering and adaptable men's styles in 2025. With the right cut and styling approach, it suits nearly every hair type and face shape, and helps you stand out while staying on-trend.
