As some of you might know, I'm regrowing my undercut. The main reason I'm regrowing it is because I miss having the hair there, but another reason is to give my hair a nit more natural body, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I was just wondering if the undercut, as it grows longer and begins to catch up with the rest of my hair, will end up being flatter than if it was grown without any hair ontop of it (E.G. from a shaved head, or whatever). I'm sure it won't be any more flattened than normal becasue the hair above would eventually cover it anyway, but I'm not sure.

It really isn't too big of a deal regrowing an undercut. I had an extreme undercut for years and just got tired of it and realized I wanted a full head of long hair. I started growing it out with my hair an inch and a half above shoulder length. It takes a while but it caught up in about 2 years and I just had to get everything trimmed up and evened out.
Actually in many ways it migh be easier. Cos when you grow out normally the lower layers (ie: the hair you've undercut) tends not to be covered by the upper layers, without the extra hair of the upper layers to keep it in place it tends to be more rebellious, flips curls etc.
But as you grow out the undercut, the hair that grows out will always be covered by the hair ontop of it, this will mean it won't flip or kick out. So in a "good way" it may lie flatter. The main problem you will have is during the first year as your undercut grows towards your shoulders, you are going to have some of the shorter hairs curl up around your neck and shoulders. The upper layers will mostly cover them, but a few shorter hairs might show through.
That said I think your question was more about the end result. Once your undercut has grown out I can't see why your hair would appear less flat than it did before you undercut your hair.

Yup, the weight of the longer hair keeps it flat, there may be a slight wave to it, but it wont curl. the only thing is it may creep up on your neck ocassionally, but thats it.
