nederkanter

Nederkanter is a term sometimes used to describe a specific type of hairstyle. It generally refers to a haircut where the hair is cut short on the sides and back, with the hair on top left longer. This longer top section can then be styled in various ways, such as swept back, to the side, or left to fall more naturally. The contrast between the shorter sides and the longer top is a key characteristic of this style.

The origin and precise etymology of the term "nederkanter" are not definitively established, and it is not a universally recognized or standardized term within the hairdressing industry. It appears to be a colloquial or regional descriptor that has gained some traction. Variations of this style, often with different names depending on the region or specific styling nuances, have been popular across different eras and subcultures. The overall aesthetic can range from neat and understated to more dramatic, depending on how the longer top section is treated. It is a versatile cut that can be adapted to suit different hair types and personal preferences.
