Hair Cutting Techniques
There are different techniques for cutting hair. However, some techniques which involve using a sharp blade like the razor are better left to professionals. But, some simple snipping and trimming techniques using a good pair of scissors, can be done at home. By practicing these techniques, you will be able to cut your own hair better and even give a haircut to others.
Described below are the different hair cutting methods, which need basic things like two mirrors, a good pair of hair cutting scissors, some hair clamps, a good comb and a water bottle with a spray nozzle. Wash your hair and use a towel to dry your hair, but do not completely dry the hair, keep them damp so that cutting them will become easier.
Basic Trimming: Learning how to trim your own hair, is fairly easy. If you wish to just trim your hair, or get a plain classic bob then use these basic method. Comb your damp straight down, and part them in the middle. Now taking a body part as a reference for measurement, start trimming your hair. For example if you wish to trim your hair till your chin, then take your chin as a measurement. Make sure you work in a straight line, and use a back mirror to cut your back hair accurately.
Common Layer Cutting Fashion: The common method used to give the layered effect to the hair, is done by parting the damp hair in the middle, and then according to the length of the layered hair one wants, the hair are snipped off by holding sections of the hair and working all the way till the bottom section of the hair. Then the hair on the other side of parting is cut. Accompany your layered hairstyles with bangs, to give it a more stylish look.
Easier Layer Cutting Technique: This method is not great when you want to go for deep layers, but is very easy and can be done by beginners. It works well on people with hair length which reaches their shoulders or below. To use this haircut technique, sit on a chair and bend over till the top of your head is facing the floor. Comb your damp hair straight down, and then using scissors cut your hair in a perfect straight line, from left to right. People with thick hair might need more than one cut. Then sit straight in your chair, part your hair in the middle and check the layered effect.
Razor Technique: This method is a little more advanced, but a very popular one as it gives a stylish wispy effect to the ends of the hair. It also softens the hairstyle, and gives a cool look. A special hair cutting razor tool is used to create this effect. The stylist runs the razor tool through the hair and it snips of the edges nicely to give a wispy effect.
Adding Bangs and Fringes: For a blunt fringe, just take the front section of your hair, and near your eyebrow line, cut your hair in a straight line. For a normal fringe, you will need to snip off some hair strands to give it a soft look. To go for some side sweeping bangs, cut a front section of your hair till it reaches a length that measures up to the middle of your nose length, part your hair sideways and snip off the edges on both sides of hair.
Graduating Cut Technique: This is another hair cutting technique, which is better left to professionals. In this technique, the hair are combed straight down, and then using the length of the outside line as a guide, the hair are held away from head and then the bulk hair are trimmed out from the outside lines.
Using Clippers: Clippers are used for close cuts like buzzed style haircuts. To learn how to cut your hair using clippers, follow these tips. Set the blades on the clipper at the length you wish to achieve with your cut and then run the clipper on the areas of the head where you wish to have the close cut effect.
Practice with the basic techniques and as you get more experience, your haircuts will become more fine and stylish. So, use the above techniques to cut your hair in different cool styles, and enjoy your new hairdo!
