Men’s haircut: video recommendations
It only seems that the men’s haircut is nothing special. In fact, this is almost a real masterpiece, because you need to take into account the smallest details and nuances: the oval of the face, the type of figure, the character of the gentleman himself. Learning to cut a man’s hair is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to follow the instructions clearly.
It is quite possible to professionally cut a man’s hair at home. You just need to practice a little, choose the right devices and accessories, and you can safely get down to business.
You can cut men in different ways – with scissors and a clipper. Each master chooses for himself the method that suits him the most. However, it should be borne in mind that creating a hairstyle with scissors is a more time-consuming task. And it is best to resort to this method only if you feel enough strength, experience and skill in yourself.
The best option is to create a hairstyle with a hair clipper. It is faster, more convenient, and less traumatic.
In any case, before starting a haircut, you need to stock up on a whole hairdressing set, which includes:
- hair clipper
- hairbrush
- ordinary scissors
- thinning scissors
Start a haircut by covering the man with a sheet like in a professional salon. This is necessary so that the cut hair does not fall behind the collar and does not irritate the skin. And it will be much easier to clean up the haircut place later. Comb your hair thoroughly.
Remember that it is best to cut your hair on clean hair. They are more obedient and lightweight. If the hair is slightly damp, this is even better.
Choose a clipper attachment depending on how long you are going to cut. Naturally, the easiest way is to cut your hair shorter: so the chances of making a mistake are less, and it is more convenient to drive a typewriter over the head. For longer haircuts, opt for long attachments.
Start cutting from the back of the head. The technology of the process is as follows: attach the attachment quite tightly to the head and begin to guide the apparatus from the back of the head to half of the head. Drive the car as if you are slightly pushing it forward. This will help make your hair cut more evenly. Anything that remains superfluous can be corrected with scissors.
Be sure to check for bumps or scars on your head that can complicate the process. Here you have to be especially careful at the time of the haircut.
If you plan to cut evenly with a clipper, treat the sides of the head and the front in the same way. But if the hairstyle should be more artistic, you will have to pick up scissors.
Move on to the top uncut part. Comb all your hair forward, then take strands no more than a centimeter thick and, holding it between your fingers, carefully move along it with scissors, cutting off the excess. It is best to use scissors at an angle to avoid too sharp cuts.
Don’t forget about the bangs. Comb it down, take the scissors so that they point straight up and cut neatly. For a smooth transition of the strands, cut at an angle.
Correct all imperfections with ordinary scissors. This will not violate the integrity of the hairstyle, and will help to eliminate defects as accurately as possible.
Finish the cut with thinning scissors. They will provide the perfect result by leveling all strands naturally. Comb your hair again, check the haircut for imperfections. If none are found, you can show the man the result.
