What is a Two Block haircut?
A two block keeps the hair on top and crown longer while the sides and lower back are cut short or faded, creating a distinct "two layer" look with a light, flowy top.
Top hair (4-6 inches) is layered and texturized for movement, often styled forward into a soft fringe. The sides are tapered tight, sometimes disconnected slightly for contrast. It flatters straight and wavy Asian hair but works on all textures with good layering.
From Seoul salons to global trend
Popularized by Korean actors and idols, the two block became a worldwide request in the late 2010s. Its balance of softness and sharpness keeps it trending in 2025.
Barbers combine scissor-over-comb on top with clipper fades on the sides to keep weight controlled.

Step-by-Step Routine
Blow-dry forward
On damp hair, blow-dry forward with a vent brush to build the fringe and crown volume.
Add lightweight product
Use a small amount of matte cream or mousse for airy separation. Avoid heavy waxes that collapse the fringe.
Pinch the fringe
Pinch small sections at the ends to create piecey texture. Sweep slightly to one side for balance.
Tidy the sides
Smooth the tapered sides with leftover product for a clean outline.
- Ask for deep point cutting on top to keep it light.
- Use a round brush at the front if you want a slight curtain bend.
- Avoid heavy gels; they remove the airy K-style effect.
