How to Style a Two Block Haircut

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.
