The two block haircut has become a go-to for men who want a clean yet versatile style. Originating in Korea, this cut features shorter sides and back with a longer top, creating a bold contrast that can be styled in multiple ways — from edgy to effortlessly refined.
Here’s how to style it properly using Pyrosso’s Komodo Clay — a high-hold, matte-finish product designed for texture, volume, and structure.
What Is a Two Block Haircut?
It’s made of two distinct “blocks”:
-
Block 1: Short or tapered sides/back
-
Block 2: Long, layered hair on top
You can leave a sharper transition for a K-pop vibe or blend it for a more natural finish.
Step 1: Wash and Towel Dry
Start with clean, damp hair — about 70% dry.
You want just enough moisture to help with heat styling without diluting your product.
💡 Pro Tip: Pre-style with a few spritzes of Pyrosso’s Sea Salt Spray (coming soon) for natural volume and hold.
Step 2: Blow-Dry for Volume & Control
Use a blow dryer with a vent or round brush to guide your hair into place.
-
For volume, blow-dry against the natural direction first, then shape it.
-
For fringe styles, blow-dry downward and slightly forward.
Step 3: Apply Pyrosso’s Komodo Clay
This is where the magic happens.
-
Scoop out a small amount (dime-sized) of Komodo Clay.
-
Warm it up fully in your palms until smooth and creamy.
-
Apply evenly, starting from the back to front, making sure it coats the roots and ends.
Use your fingers for a natural, piecey texture — or a wide-tooth comb for a slightly more controlled, modern look.
Step 4: Refine and Lock It In
-
Pinch and twist small sections for definition.
-
Push the front slightly up for volume.
-
Keep the sides tighter for contrast and edge.
Optional: A light mist of hairspray for extreme hold (though Komodo Clay holds up well on its own).
Final Tips
-
Get a trim every 2–3 weeks to maintain the shape.
-
Avoid overwashing — instead, rinse or use dry shampoo between washes to protect your natural oils and hold.
