Many women have found themselves in a situation where they need to cut their husband’s, child’s or brother’s hair at home. But in inexperienced hands, the hairstyle, most often, takes on a not very attractive appearance due to the lack of a scheme for its creation. You can ruin your look with one careless movement of your hand, so before you do a men's haircut correctly, you should learn a few basic methods and techniques that will significantly improve your hairdressing skills.
Simple creation technology
Before you start styling your husband’s hair at home, you need to wet your hair and comb it well. After this, they need to be divided into several zones, which should be worked with separately. To begin with, two parallel partings are made from the frontal hollows to the back of the head, separating the temples, and then the parietal area. The result should be 6 sections:
- parietal,
- 2 temporal,
- 3 occipital (first, the upper and lower parts are separated, and then the lower part is divided into 2 more by a vertical parting).
Haircutting at home begins with lifting a strand of the parietal area at the temple. The hair is cut at a distance of 4 cm from the head, and after that each subsequent curl is equal to the previous one, due to which the same length is maintained. During trimming, the strands are pulled perpendicular to the head. After this, you can start working on the temples from the edge of the hair growth, shortening them using the described method until the parting.
In order to make the bottom edge of the hairstyle even, it is necessary to press it as tightly as possible to the neck. Over time, some areas of the scalp begin to dry out and become unruly. To prevent this from happening, you need to wet them periodically. Practice will help you learn how to do all this correctly.
The simplest option is zero. Almost anyone can do this hairstyle correctly, without having the skills of a hairdresser or knowledge of haircut patterns. But it is worth remembering that it is suitable only for men with a standard round head shape.
Sports hairstyles are slightly longer, but are cut according to the same principle. It will be more difficult to do boxing or semi-boxing correctly without the skills and scheme. But if you follow the technique, then no problems will arise.
Another type of short hairstyle is the so-called crew cut, which has a rounded shape. This option is suitable for men with coarse hair types.
Stages of work
The technique of creating hairstyles for men consists of following several basic rules. Before you start, be sure to comb your hair and dry it, as some hair clippers may not be able to handle wet strands.
At the first stage, the strands at the back of the head are cut, and then the hairdresser moves to the temples. First, a nozzle of a certain length is attached to the machine, and the strands are cut approximately to the parietal part of the head. To avoid unevenness, you should run the machine over one place several times.
After this, a smaller nozzle is put on and the process is repeated, but the top edge should be slightly lower to create a smooth transition from the shortest to the longest strands.
To cut the hair at the very bottom, use a flat comb to grab a certain amount of hair. The comb is placed at a slight angle to the head, and all protruding areas are cut with a clipper. Thanks to such actions, a very smooth transition from the growth line to longer strands is obtained.
Factors influencing choice
Some guys suit a very short haircut, while others are categorically against this option and prefer long curls. But you can do both hairstyles correctly using a clipper with scissors, without visiting a professional hairdresser.
If a man has an irregular head shape, then he should learn how to create a hairstyle according to a pattern in such a way that it hides it. With an elongated occipital part, for example, the length of the strands above the forehead should naturally be greater. The shape of the back of the head can also be adjusted with a machine, making the correct transition from shorter to longer hair.
One of the most acceptable options is the half-box, since this type of hairstyle is able to give the desired shape to the head and at the same time can be done at home using a machine.
In addition, with the help of strands, the hairdresser is able to change the visible growth line if it does not suit the man. Professionals have special hairstyles and techniques for certain body types and face shapes.
Advantages of short options
Using the machine, you can learn how to create interesting images for your husband at home, ranging from classic to extraordinary options, in which patterns are created on the head or the hair is shaved asymmetrically. In any case, these hairstyles are very easy to change after waiting a few weeks, unlike options with long curls.
Thus, creating men's hairstyles at home is not as difficult as it might seem. And the many options and methods of their use allow women to experiment and find more suitable images for their husband.
