Benefit and harm

Minuses

Do not forget about the negative aspects of such a haircut. First of all, it should be noted that this completely changes the image of any person. And it can also create a problem for many with documents, because the face becomes almost unrecognizable. therefore for those who travel a lot, you must definitely change your passport photo.

In addition, those who decide on such a haircut deprive themselves of their natural thermal protection, which is especially important in winter. However, in this case, everything can be solved by putting on a warmer hat on your head.

It is very difficult to change your image.If you want to change your hairstyle, then this action will not work quickly, since hair grows back for a long time... In some cases, you can resort to extensions, but this is possible only when the hair grows back at least a little.

In especially extreme cases, for example, when an accident occurs or a person simply falls, the head will be most vulnerable.

In cases where a person drowns, it will be difficult to save him.

Who is it suitable for?

Although many girls want to get this haircut, not all of them will do it. If in one case she simply emphasizes all the advantages, then in the other, on the contrary, she will show all the disadvantages. Most of all, it suits the following persons:

owners of very thin hair;
who has a square or oval face type, and also does not have a massive chin;
if there are absolutely no spots on the head, for example, burns, scars or birthmarks;
owners of beautiful ears;
girls with regular facial features;
who have no scalp problems.

At the same time, a bald haircut can fit any age category, both for girls and men.A bald haircut will go well with any chosen style of clothing. It goes well with any makeup, but best with bright ones. This will help emphasize the beauty of the eyes, as well as the expressiveness of the face. And also this haircut will help girls look more stylish and daring.

Execution technique

Head haircuts are now becoming very fashionable, so many decide to do this hairstyle. But first you need to familiarize yourself with the execution technique in order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow a person will look before and after a haircut.

In order to make such a haircut, you will need a few of the most necessary tools. These are scissors for a haircut, an electric clipper, a regular comb and a razor. For those with a particularly sensitive head, it is necessary to additionally purchase a shaving lotion or gel.

When you have all the necessary tools, you can start the haircut itself. It is necessary to comb the hair thoroughly, and then cut it as short as possible with scissors.Therefore, for this, each strand must be pulled back 90 degrees. You can then take a clipper and remove any remaining hair. When the haircut is over, you should steam your head well under a fairly hot shower.

The next step is shaving your head. So that after this procedure you can minimize skin irritation, you must first apply a moisturizing gel to your head. However, the amount should be moderate. After that, you can start shaving with smooth movements. This should be done starting from the forehead towards the neck.

After each movement it is necessary to rinse the machine in boiled water so that there is no contamination.

The front of the head is shaved against the growth of hair, and the occipital is the opposite.This will help prevent scalp irritation. After that, you need to run your hand over the entire surface to make sure it is smooth. If there are even small errors, you need to carefully finish them.

On the sides, the ears should be pulled back to facilitate shaving. Shave with light movements from bottom to top. When the haircut is completed, the head must be rinsed with plain water at room temperature. This will help get rid of any residual gel applied.

Then the head should be treated with lotion or milk to make the skin softer and smoother.

Care rules

Like any hairstyle, a bald haircut also requires maintenance, even the most minimal. The head must be washed in the same mode as before. You can use your old shampoo.

Besides, after washing, be sure to treat your head with a moisturizer.This is especially true for those girls who have sensitive skin. Do not forget to wear a hat so that in the summer there is no overheating, and in the winter to prevent hypothermia.

In summer, when it is hot outside, it is necessary to apply a cream that has protection against ultraviolet rays.

In winter, you can use a moisturizing cosmetic soap.

How to grow back hair quickly after a haircut?

Having decided on such changes, after a while many regret and want to change their image again. However, this is quite difficult to do, but it is still possible to speed up hair growth a little. There are several ways to cope with the task.

With massage

Massaging the scalp regularly will help induce blood flow to the scalp, which will significantly improve blood flow to the hair follicles. In addition, it is not necessary to do it in one position. The massage should only be a pleasure, so you can do it not only while sitting, but also lying down. The procedure itself must be done no more than 10 minutes.

With masks

For fast hair growth, you can try some masks that will facilitate this.

Onion mask.It has a slightly irritating effect, which also induces blood flow to the scalp and accelerates hair growth. To prepare it, you need to grate the onion on the smallest grater, and then mix the onion gruel with honey. The proportions should be 3: 1. After that, the resulting mixture should be rubbed into the head and immediately insulated. After one hour, it should be rinsed with shampoo, and then rinsed with clean water with the addition of lemon juice.

The only drawback of such a mask is an unpleasant odor that will persist for another week.

Cinnamon. This mask is considered the most effective for accelerating hair growth. For its preparation, you can try using both a simple powder and essential oil. However, its application must be very careful. You need to take 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 20 grams of honey, a few drops of mint, 5 grams of coconut oil. Melt the butter in a water bath, and then add the remaining components to it. Then the mask is rubbed into the scalp and wrapped in a terry towel.

In just an hour, you can wash it off with shampoo.

The presence of vegetation on the head, according to the existing statement, adds attractiveness to men and the beauty of the female half of humanity. However, everyone's tastes are different: someone likes to wear a luxurious head of hair, while someone prefers to cut their hair shorter. For example, soldiers always wear short hairstyles, people of creative professions prefer to grow their hair. A bald haircut is considered an original approach to your image. It is difficult to call a completely bald head a haircut, but this type of hair significantly saves many people from the problem of hair loss.

Who is a zero-cut haircut suitable for? Regardless of gender, this haircut is suitable for people with the correct skull shape.

Benefits of a zero-cut haircut

Most people who cut their hair and wear a haircut to zero can name a number of reasons why they decided on such an experiment. Let's list these benefits:

Economical and fast process.
Walking with a bald head is not hot.
No time is wasted on hair washing, as well as funds for the purchase of shampoos, balms and other care products.
As one of the ways to improve the scalp (in the process of shaving, dead cells “leave” the head).
The ability to keep the skin clean (an excellent way to fight diseases such as head lice, seborrhea, peeling).

In addition to the positive aspects, we can highlight the possible disadvantages of haircuts "to zero":

Negative reaction of others (many think that only bandits or prisoners get their hair cut bald, which is why people bypass bald ones).
Problems may arise with checking documents at customs (customs officers may doubt your identity by checking the photo with long hair in your passport with a real bald person).
The head loses thermal protection, due to which there is an increased heat exchange to maintain an acceptable temperature for the head and the whole body.

Among other important points (perhaps comic), the following deserve attention:

In any fight, a bald person cannot be grabbed by the hair.
If a person is drowning, then the hair can no longer be grabbed.
The bald head is able to scare away the "unwanted" contingent.
All hair problems are not about you.
Shaving bald makes a man brutal and gives masculinity (remember the famous "bald" ones, Bruce Willis, handsome Jason Statham, Fedor Bondarchuk, Gosha Kutsenko, Dmitry Nagiyev and others).
Swimming caps are not required in the pool (some bald heads add hydrodynamics while swimming and aerodynamics while cycling).
There will never be a problem with untangling your hair if some ill-wisher sticks gum to your hair.

Regarding the haircut of babies' bald, there is such an opinion that after it new hair begins to grow thicker and more attractive. However, in reality, this is not entirely true. Doctors have established that the quality of the hair on the baby's head is determined at the genetic level, so a haircut "zero" will not be able to change their quality for the better, and sometimes it can cause damage.

Firstly, after shaving hair in babies, they often begin to grow back worse, besides, they undergo a long recovery period. This is due to the fact that the skin of the baby's head is damaged by a razor or machine, and small capillaries can even burst due to the strong tension of the skin.

Secondly, this procedure for very young children can be very stressful and cause psychological trauma. Therefore, parents should think carefully before cutting a child's head.

Which man is suitable for a bald haircut?

Every man can get a haircut to zero, regardless of hair type, but skin imperfections on the head can be a limitation. It is better for owners of such defects not to take risks with such a haircut, as it can scare others away.

Advice! Tattoos that match the image can hide imperfections on a bald head.

Why do girls cut their hair baldly?

There are various explanations for this choice, one of which is the need to make drastic changes in appearance. Some men find that a woman's very short hair makes her look sexier and more attractive.

Some girls cut their hair to zero in order to be practical (hair does not need daily care), but "naked practicality" is not so characteristic of the beautiful half of humanity, rather than the strong. Therefore, among the main reasons to have a haircut for girls is:

creating a new image;
manifestation of originality;
demonstration of belonging to a certain group of people;
search for a worldview, a kind of way out of a depressive state.

Some experts claim that hair on the head (especially for women) is capable of absorbing negative energy (despite the opinion that there is magic power in the hair). This may be an explanation for the fact that girls in a state of depression or stress remove all unnecessary things from their heads, thus changing their lives.

Such changes in image and style give rise to a new, more successful life. An example would be the stars in the world of film and show business, who achieved great success after they cut their hair baldly. We can recall such personalities as Yulia Chicherina, Masha Makarova (lead singer of the Masha and the Bears group), rock singer Sinead O'Connor, actress Natalie Portman, Demi Moore, Charlize Theron, Russian singer Slava and others. Many movie stars are simply forced to lose their luxurious hair for a movie role. Of course, many of these girls could not decide for such a responsible act for a long time, but it was worth it.

Advice! A bald head is not suitable for all women. In order for a haircut to look more attractive, you must have the correct facial features and an even skull shape.

By the way, from a psychological point of view, it is easier for a man to shave off the hair on his head than a girl.

Zero haircut technique

There are several types of zero-cut haircuts.

Zero haircut

It is necessary to perform a haircut on dry hair.

This haircut is performed using a special clipper (mechanical or electric) without using attachments. Before shaving the hair, it must be combed in the direction of its natural growth. If the hair is long, then it must be cut to the desired length. After that, you need to raise the hair on the forehead, set the machine on the frontal ledge along the edge of hair growth and slowly move it to the crown. Shaving takes place against the growth of hair. The haircut is carried out in strips (from the growth boundaries to the crown). To ensure the same length of the haircut, it is necessary to cut each successive strip, grabbing a little of the previous one. In addition, attention is paid to the hair at the crown and occipital curls, which are cut against the direction of their growth. At the end of the haircut, the edging is carried out in the temporal part of the head, behind and above the ears, on the neck.

Attention! To avoid a negative attitude of the client towards a zero haircut, it is recommended to start cutting from the back of the head upwards. In this case, it is still possible to leave the total length of the hair. During the haircut, the client can drastically change his mind, and it is already impossible to correct the situation when the strip in front has already been cut!

Shaving head

Before shaving, you must first perform the zero cut described above. After that, shaving foam is applied, distributed over the entire head. Then shave the first time in the direction of hair growth (from the crown to the forehead, down and to the sides), the second time in the opposite direction. Then the foam is applied again and the procedure is repeated.

Important! Excellent results are achieved with a shaving razor that guarantees safe work. But the use of a straight razor requires certain skills from the master, accuracy in work.

To create an interesting image, they often resort to performing various patterns on a bald head. These can be simple patterns, inscriptions, simple lines, and sometimes whole pictures.

Haircut care

A zero-cut haircut does not require any special care, the only thing to watch out for is the regularity of going to the hairdresser. The constant regrowth of hair makes the look unkempt and unattractive. Despite the simplicity of the haircut, it is best to contact a master who will not only do this work quickly and efficiently, but also give valuable advice on the need for a haircut. Such a hairstyle can be one of the ways to "reeducate" a naughty head of hair. For example, you have a desire to grow long and luxurious hair that can be styled as soon as you like, but your vegetation does not allow you to do this due to "naughty". A zero haircut will allow you to change the direction of hair growth!

Men's haircuts are no less diverse than women's. Someone likes to make a top knot out of their long hair, someone prefers classic boxing, and someone even makes a choice in favor of a bald haircut.

The latter option is becoming more and more popular due to the fame of many of its "carriers", which include Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, Sean Connery. Among domestic stars, there are also men who find it difficult to refuse charm. These are Fyodor Bondarchuk, Gosha Kutsenko, Rostislav Khait (see photo) and others.

Who is it for?

There is an opinion that a zero haircut is universal and suitable for any man. However, this is not the case. You should refuse such a haircut in the following cases.

Irregular skull shape
All the bumps and depressions that are usually hidden under the hair will be revealed to others. In addition, shaving such a head is not easy even for an experienced shaper.
Diseases of the scalp
This is the only restriction on a man's bald haircut that can be called temporary. When a dermatologist can help you solve this problem, you can get on with the typewriter.
Hair too coarse
As they grow back, they will create an unpleasant feel and visually stubble. In this rare case, thin hair is a big advantage.
Birthmarks on the scalp
After all, you don't want to evoke associations with the last general secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, right?

So, who suits a fully shaved head? A bald haircut can be recommended for men of any age who do not have dermatological and cosmetic problems with the correct shape of the skull and rather thin hair. If you are in this category, you can check out the next section of our article.

Main advantages

The male view of the hairstyle is always pragmatic - even if the man is a stylist. That is why it is worth listing all the advantages of a bald haircut. So, she:

easy to clean;
allows you to save decent money on shampoos and styling products;
has no age restrictions;
goes well with clothes of any style - from classic to sports;
easy to do at home (just buy a machine or a good razor);

gives the image of brutality and imposing;
can be supplemented with tattoos (when it comes to young people);
allows a man to feel comfortable even in hot summer (however, do not forget about a hat if you have to go out into the sun);
makes the look more expressive;
is a convenient way to hide bald patches.

Execution technology

Even a beginner in hairdressing will be able to perform a man's haircut bald. However, it is advisable to get acquainted with the recommendations of the masters before starting work.

Take your time to shave bald, because you may not like your reflection in the mirror. First, use any program for the selection of hairstyles, which allows the user to try on different images using the uploaded photo and evaluate their success.
Use low attachment numbers (0 to 3), or do not use attachments at all when clipping.
If you are cutting yourself, get a cordless clipper and a small mirror in addition to a large one for the back of the head.
Haircuts begin bald from the forehead and crown, and then move on to the temples and the back of the head.
You can also shave your head using an ordinary machine, but this requires skill and knowledge of some tricks. So, before you are going to shave baldly, it is better to take a hot shower, dampen a towel with hot water and wrap it around your head. After a few minutes, you can start shaving. This steaming helps to avoid cuts and skin irritation.
If you have long enough hair, trim it with scissors before using the clipper.
The typewriter should be driven smoothly and slowly against the direction of hair growth (see video at the end of the article).

A man's haircut baldly can be considered a change not only in the image, but also in the worldview. This is a kind of renewal, an attempt to start living from scratch and at the same time a challenge to the surrounding world. That is why, before such a haircut, you should answer the question of how easy it will be for you in a new image.

Hair clipping is performed with conventional and electric machines No. 0, No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. The higher the number of the machine, the more hair remains on the head after the haircut. Usually machines of low numbers are cut in the summer, higher numbers - in winter.

After the preparatory operations, the master should stand in front of the client, ask what number of the machine to cut him with. To avoid misunderstandings, one should ask again: "Shall I cut it completely, all the hair?" Only after confirmation of the client can the master start cutting.

The process and sequence of haircuts with a conventional clipper and an electric clipper are exactly the same.

Before cutting the hair, it is combed from the center of the head down and to the sides. Then the comb is transferred to the left hand; if the hair is very long, then use a comb to raise it. After that, taking the machine in their right hand, they begin to cut. Hair clippers are cut against the direction of their growth.

Usually, the haircut starts from the forehead to the crown and is cut in strips, one after the other, from right to left clockwise, first the right parietal region, then the right temporal and occipital regions. Then the left occipital region, left temporal and left parietal regions are cut.

It is more reasonable to start a haircut from the back - from the beginning of hair growth on the neck to the crown of the head, since some clients think about it during the haircut process and decide not to cut their hair baldly, and when cutting the first way, the situation becomes irreparable.

When cutting, the machine should be carried out slowly, since when the machine is moving quickly, especially not electric, the teeth of the machine do not have time to cut, they pull and tear the hair, which worries the client. Therefore, the clipper should be driven slowly and smoothly, and the levers of a conventional clipper should often be unclenched and clamped to failure.

If the clipper jams, clean the teeth immediately and then continue cutting.

Having passed the haircut of the first strip of hair to the crown of the head, the machine is smoothly, without a jerk, taken away (raised) from the skin and with a comb in the left hand, the trimmed hair is combed off, and then the next strip is cut.

When cutting each next strip, the hair should be grasped with only half of the working part of the machine, the second half is carried along the cut strip, picking up the uncaught (missed) hair.

When cutting hair behind the auricles, both on the right and on the left with the little finger of the left hand, bend the auricles.

After cutting the hair of the entire head, shading is performed on the neck, edging the temples and behind the auricles (when cutting with a typewriter No. 0, this is not done).

Shading the neck should be done with a machine number 000. The machine is pressed tightly with the teeth at the beginning of hair growth and the hair is cut with frequent movements of the levers, gradually raising the teeth up. You should not shade the hair on the neck too high; it is enough to limit yourself to shading the lower edge of the hair.

In case of profuse sweating of the client's skin, it is necessary to wipe the neck with a cotton swab and powder it before shading, as the machine sticks to a damp neck and makes jumps when moving, which results in a "ladder". Powder dries the skin and makes the clipper fit snugly.

When trimming high numbers (No. 2 and No. 3) with clippers, it is necessary to arrange the behind-the-ear edging and trim the temples.

The edging of the hair behind the ears is made in the following way: with the ends of the scissors, the hair is cut from the mastoid process upwards, along the line of natural hair growth, creating an oval shape behind the ears.

First, the hair is edged behind the left ear, bending the auricle with the left hand (Fig. 98). When edging behind the right ear, the auricle is also folded back with the left hand or with a comb (Fig. 99); when trimming, the right hand is over the left.

The choice of the shape of the temples depends on the client's wishes or is made at the discretion of the master. Depending on their length, the temples are divided into short, medium and long: short - above the ear tragus, medium - at the level of the tragus, long - below the ear tragus.

Making out the left temple, the master should stand on the left, in front of the client. Hold the comb in your left hand and the scissors in your right.

Pre-comb the hair at the temple down with a comb, then with one movement of the ends of the scissors cut the hair in one line - oblique or straight (Fig. 100).

The hair below the resulting line is cut with a machine # 000, and for those who shave - shave off with a razor.

To design the right temple, the master goes to the right side of the client and with the ends of the scissors directed to the ear, also cuts the right temple in the same shape and at the same level with the left temple.

It is much more difficult to design the left temple than the right one; it is much easier to adjust the shape and level of the right temple to the left temple, therefore, the design of the temples must be started from the left temple.

After trimming both temples with the ends of the scissors, they are finally edged, that is, the edges of the hair of the temples are connected with the behind-the-ear edging. Having finished the design of the temples, using a mirror, check whether the shape and length of both temples are the same.

At the end of the haircut, the napkin is removed from the client, the head is wiped with a napkin and cotton swab in the direction of hair growth.

Indicators of a high-quality haircut with a clipper are: hair is cut cleanly, at the same level, without gaps; both temples are correctly cut and decorated; cleanly, without a "ladder", shaded neck.

It is necessary to train in cutting hair bald with conventional and electric clippers first on blanks, strictly observing the sequence of haircuts. You can also train with each other by putting on a rubber bathing cap or a specially sewn cap on your head; as a last resort, you can tie your head with a regular napkin.

Having firmly mastered all the cutting techniques, you can proceed to the clients' haircuts, but under the guidance of an instructor.

Short haircuts

After the haircut, the shortest is the "English *" haircut.

* (Sometimes the "English" haircut is misunderstood as the "forelock" haircut for boys. Some hairdressers, at the request of their parents or on their own initiative, cut their entire head bald, leaving only in front, on the frontal part of the head, a piece of hair, the so-called "forelock", and very often they do not shade it or very carelessly reduce it to nothing. Such a haircut does not decorate, but disfigures.)

"English" haircut... There are several styles of this haircut: with or without parting, with hair combed to the side or in front with bangs (the last style is for children).

An "English" haircut can be done only in the absence of defects on the skin of the occipital and parietal parts of the head, since with this haircut the hairstyle covers only the front region of the head, and the rest of the hair is cut baldly. Therefore, before cutting, you need to carefully examine the client's head.

The process of cutting "English" is as follows: with a typewriter No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3, remove the hair strip by strip, first the left side of the head, and then the right, starting on the neck - from the beginning of hair growth to the crown of the head. After each strip of haircuts, comb the cut hair and check the cleanliness of the haircut. Then the hair is cut from the ear line to the crown. The temporal region is cut at the level of the eyebrow line or 1 - 2 cm above. The machine is gradually raised with its teeth upward, reducing the hair to naught both from the back and from the sides, connecting them along one oval line.

The haircut is done from left to right. Having finished the left side, the right is processed in the same sequence.

At the end of the haircut with a machine, the hair is shaded to naught, combed, then the edging of the temples and behind the ears is made with scissors. Then the long hair is removed with scissors over the fingers. To do this, the hairdresser needs to stand behind the client. He holds the comb and scissors in his right hand. After combing the hair, the hairdresser shifts the comb to his left hand, between the middle and forefinger. With scissors, he cuts the hair above his fingers. In this case, do not hold the scissors close to your fingers to avoid damage to your hand. The sequence of hair cutting "on the fingers": first, the hair is removed from the center of the forehead to the back of the head, leaving the hair in the front part of the head longer, and at the crown of the head, reducing it to nothing (Fig. 101).

After cutting the middle strip of hair, the hairdresser moves to the left of the client and cuts the left side. When processing the marginal hairline of the left side, he stands in front of the client, scissors the hair above the fingers, while the ends of the fingers are directed to the auricle.

The hairdresser then cuts the right side over the toes, standing behind the client. When treating the right edge of the hairline and the back of the head, it is not necessary to go forward.

Removing the hair above the fingers, take small strands and cut them, pulling them away from themselves.

At the end of the haircut, the hair is combed with scissors over the fingers and, if necessary, eliminate the shortcomings of the haircut - "stairs", irregularities, etc. Then the hair is combed in the parting and continues cutting with scissors, but already above the comb, nullifying the edge lines.

The process of cutting with scissors over the comb is performed from left to right, starting from the left temporal region. The end of the comb is directed upwards, and the ends of the scissors are directed downward. In this way, hair is reduced to nothing to the crown.

When cutting the right side of the head, the foreman stands on the right side of the client and cuts in the same way as for the left side, but the end of the comb is directed upward and the ends of the scissors are directed downward (Fig. 102).

Then the middle part of the head is processed. Hair is reduced to naught, fitting it to the edges of the hairstyle. In this case, the hairdresser stands behind the client, the teeth of the comb during the haircut are directed towards him, and the scissors are held down by the screw slot, above the comb.

If, after all the above operations, "ladders" still remain in some places, then a tubercle is raised with the ends of the scissors, a comb is substituted and irregularities are removed. This type of haircut is called a bulkhead haircut. In extreme cases, serrated scissors are used.

Then the hair is combed again thoroughly, trimmed by trimming the long hair, and combed forward again.

It should be remembered that when cutting the front hair, their edge cannot be made thick; it is thinned with serrated scissors, plunging them slightly above the edge line of the bangs and cutting them to the ends of the trim line. There is also a second method: with a comb, they lift the hair of the edge line of the bangs and cut their ends, all the time gradually raising the comb up.

Then the hair is freshened and fine cut hair is combed. To do this, take a comb in the right hand, and a piece of cotton wool in the left hand; combing cotton wool with the frequent side of the comb, pick it up on the teeth of the comb. The cotton wool is pushed to the base of the comb and fine hair is combed. If the client does not want to freshen up or wash his hair, then the cotton wool is slightly moistened. Then the hair is combed again into the parting at the request of the client - to the right or to the left.

It is necessary to train the "English" haircut techniques first on pigs, then on wigs with blunt scissors and on top of each other, but without cutting and trimming. Only after that you can proceed to haircuts for clients under the guidance of an instructor.

Half-box haircut... When cutting "half-box" the hairstyle is made longer than when cutting "English". A "half-box" haircut is with and without a parting, with a comb back (Fig. 103). This haircut can also be done only for clients who do not have skin defects within the temporal and occipital parts of the head.

The "half-box" haircut is performed as follows: with a machine No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3, remove the hair on the neck, the occipital region and the lower part of the temporal region, oval reducing the haircut line to the occipital protuberance (see Fig. 103, b).

Figure: 103. Haircut "semi-box": a - side view; b - the dotted line indicates the hair removal line with the machine No. 1.

The haircut is carried out from left to right, strip by strip. As the machine approaches the "line" of shading, the teeth of the machine are gradually raised up, reducing the hair to nothing.

The hair on the neck is reduced to naught with a machine number 000, then the ears are edged; after that, make out the whiskey: cut the hair at the temple line in the desired shape (oblique or straight); below the line of the temples, the hair is shaved or extinguished with a machine No. 000. If the hair is very long, then after cutting it with a machine, it is removed with scissors over the fingers. This is done in the same way as in the "English" haircut, but since the "half-box" hairstyle is longer than the "English", the line on the back of the head is made lower than in the "English" haircut, and the hair is removed above the toes.

Then the hair is parted (if the client wears a combed back hairstyle, comb only the edges along the hairline) and cut with scissors over the comb in the same way as for an "English" haircut, strip by strip, from left to right. After cutting each strip, it is combed according to the growth of the hair and, if canceled out badly, this operation is repeated.

After trimming the hair around the head, check the overall shape of the haircut so that the transition line is evenly shaded.

The shape of the occipital protuberance or the cavity between the occipital and parietal regions should be taken into account and only so much hair should be removed so that the shape of the head is oval. Therefore, more hair is left in the cavity. With a strongly protruding occipital part, it is extinguished close to remove the bulge as much as possible.

If the hair is done with a parting, the hair is pulled down, towards the face, with a slope, and the longest ends are cut. This is done so that the hair does not fall to the short side of the parting in the event that the client subsequently opens the parting incorrectly or below. However, this is not done in cases where the clients have a permanent parting or specifically cover the bald spot.

If the hairstyle is done with a comb back, then the hair is combed from the middle to both sides and the excessively long hair is trimmed. Very thick layers of flowing hair are cut with toothed or regular scissors, or a razor. Then the hair is combed and slicked back.

In conclusion, the hair is finally polished and the final operations are performed (washing, refreshing, combing with cotton wool), as in the "English" haircut.

Summer haircut - one of the original haircut styles. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is short not only from the sides and back, but very short and in front, just enough to make a parting (Fig. 104).

Figure: 104. Summer haircut.

A summer haircut can be done only with the correct shape of the head and in the absence of defects on the skin, since it is as short as possible. It is done with a parting on the side or in the middle of the head. This haircut is recommended for clients with soft and thin hair.

The process of haircut "summer" is as follows: with a typewriter No. 1 or No. 2, the hair is removed from the back of the head - from the neck to the crown and from the temples to the second temporal protrusion.

The machine is gradually raised with its teeth up, nullifying from short-cropped hair to long hair (you can also nullify the hair with scissors). Then they extinguish the neck, make the edging of the temples and behind the auricles.

If the hair is very long, it is first removed with scissors over the fingers. When cutting, the ends of the fingers are directed towards the hair removed with the machine. Then, in the usual way, they cut with scissors with gradual transitions: shorter - from places trimmed with a machine, longer - to the crown. The haircut is made so short that only parting can be done.

At the end of the haircut, the hair is parted and trimmed, cutting off long hair. Then the hair is combed over the forehead and also trimmed. Finally, the hair is parted again and polished.

When cutting "summer" hair is not combed back, except for very soft and sparse hair, which can easily fall back even with a short haircut.

Haircut "polka" most widespread in all countries of the world and recognized as one of the most beautiful. It can hide many defects in the skin and head shape, as it has many varieties. At the same time, "polka" is not a long haircut.

The "polka" haircut (fig. 105) is much more complicated than the "English" and "half box" haircut. It has many features and various techniques. A polka haircut can be done in two ways - with scissors alone and with a typewriter.

fig. 105. Haircut "polka".

Cutting with scissors is one of the most difficult and time-consuming methods, but scissors can cut more artistically than with a typewriter, especially if the master has not yet mastered the technique of artistic haircut with a typewriter.

When preparing for a haircut, you need to sit the client close to the back of the chair. By touching the little fingers of both hands to the head, the master makes it clear to the client to bend his head. Then comb the hair down in the direction of its growth.

Cutting begins with scissors above the comb at the beginning of hair growth on the neck. When combing, bringing the comb to the beginning of hair growth, turn the comb with the teeth upward with your thumb and forefinger, press it firmly against the neck and, slowly moving the comb and scissors against the growth of the hair, cut the hair with frequent claps of the scissors (see Fig. 41). In this case, the hair of the lower part of the neck is removed close, leaving only the thickness of the comb. In the process of cutting, the teeth of the combs gradually turn towards themselves, reducing the hair to nothing. A gradual twist of the comb achieves a smooth transition when hair is reduced to zero.

For sparse and blond hair, the transition to no should be steeper. The darker and thicker the hair, the smoother the transition will be. The steepness of the hair reduction is achieved by the speed at which the comb is turned.

Depending on the color, the width of the hair band, horizontally nullified on the neck, ranges from 2 to 4 cm.

The left side of the head is cut first, and then the right. The first strip is cut from the beginning of hair growth on the neck to the bottom of the back of the head. The next stripes are removed gradually to the left of the center of the back of the head. With very thick hair, the upper occipital region is cut with a "bulkhead", that is, they put scissors under the hair, raise a strand of hair, then pick up this hair closer to the roots with a comb with teeth up and cut to nothing. The comb is gradually moved and in this way they cut strip by strip, all the time, as mentioned above, the strands of hair. After the next "bulkhead", the hair is combed down to determine the correctness of their reduction to zero.

When cutting hair to the ear line, scissors and a comb are parallel; when cutting behind the auricles, the relative position of the scissors and the comb changes: the scissors are gradually turned into a vertical position with an inclination to the neck.

When cutting in the area of \u200b\u200bthe mastoid process, the ends of the scissors are directed upwards and the end of the comb downwards. In this way, they cut the area from the left ear to the back of the head. In this case, the end of the comb is pressed tightly against the lower part of the hair of the neck, raising the rest of the comb at an angle to the line of the trimmed hair of the back of the head. Frequent claps of scissors combined with a slow motion of the combs negate the hair on the left side of the head, achieving an even transition throughout the entire area.

As the haircut moves to the left, the position of the scissors and the comb changes, above the ear they are again parallel, and then the ends of the scissors are directed downward and the end of the comb upward. In fig. 106 shows a diagram of the movement of the scissors and comb around the left ear.

When the hair is reduced to nothing behind the auricle, the ear is folded back, and then they continue to cut, but the comb is not pressed tightly.

The edges of the edging behind the ears should be thicker than the hair at the beginning of hair growth on the neck, nude no more than 3 mm.

When shaping the temples, you need to take into account the client's hair color and the fullness of his face. With light hair or a thin face, less hair is removed from the temples so that the temples are fuller, and vice versa: with dark hair or a full face, the temples are cut shorter. The shortest hair at the temples should be at least 3 and no more than 5 mm... When decorating whiskey, you need to ensure that both sides are the same and cut at the same level. The bottom of the left temple is sheared with the second technique (Fig. 107).

Having finished cutting the left side of the head, they begin to cut the right side in the same sequence as the left. Since the left side is already completely cut, the right side is cut to match the level of the left; haircut on the right side of the head should be trimmed gradually.

When cutting hair on the right side, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe mastoid process, the middle of the comb is tightly pressed against the neck, and the free end of the comb is raised from the back of the head; the scissors are directed downward.

The bottom of the right side of the neck is sheared with the ends of the scissors over the comb (over the side with frequent teeth) with the second technique; the middle of the right side of the neck is cut in the first step, guiding the ends of the scissors to the left; the left side of the neck is trimmed as usual.

When thinning hair with serrated scissors, the front strand and strands on the sides of the parting are thrown back so as not to reduce their length.

Cutting hair above the fingers or trimming (after thinning) begins in front - from the forehead to the crown: first the right side, then the left.

Feed the hair forward, cut the first strand. Taking the next strand, they partially capture the already cut strand in order to cut at the same level, that is, in order to prevent gaps or "stairs".

When cutting the right side, the ends of the fingers are directed to the side, in the direction of hair growth in the temporal and occipital regions. The hairdresser stands behind the client.

When cutting over the toes of the left side, the hairdresser stands in front of the client and brushes the hair away from him, i.e. against the hair growth. The cutting sequence is the same as for the right side. The ends of the fingers are also directed in the direction of hair growth.

The amount of hair removed depends on the hairstyle and the client's wishes. When removing hair in the "on the fingers" method, you must be careful not to cut your fingers with scissors. To check, strand by strand is re-sorted, and if excessively long hair is found, it is cut to the level of the rest.

If the "ladder" has not been eliminated, it is brought to naught with toothed or ordinary scissors by means of a bulkhead: the scissors are immersed in the hair, under the "ladder", picked up with a comb and cut, nullifying.

When cutting the right side behind the auricle, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe temples, the position of the comb and scissors also gradually changes: the ends of the scissors and the comb are parallel to the right temple, as the hair is cut, the end of the comb gradually goes down, and the ends of the scissors rise up.

After the haircut around the head, the front hair of the frontal and parietal parts is cut. They are cut immediately above the toes or pre-cut and then trimmed over the toes.

If the hair is very long, it can be shortened by thinning it with ordinary scissors. To do this, divide the hair in half and open a temporary parting in the middle, then, combing, take a strand of hair from the frontal region, place it between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand (if the hair is too long, between the middle and forefinger), the comb is also transferred to the left hand , and with the right hand, ordinary scissors cut with very light pressure and slide from the ends to the roots. The scissors are half open. This is how they cut strand by strand.

If the hair is very thick, it is only necessary to thin it, i.e., to reduce the hair density. In this case, they cut with serrated scissors: they take a lock of hair, immerse serrated scissors into it at the roots and cut in several places from roots to bottoms (Fig. 108).

After that, with a typewriter No. 000, they blend the hair from the bottom.

The edging of the hair behind the auricles is repeated twice when cutting "polka"; first cut with the ends of scissors from the mastoid process upward, edging the hair around the auricles to the temples, creating the base of the edging. At the same time, all the time the hair is combed down so that there is no uncut, curled hair. The second time, the hair is finally edged behind the auricles, cleaning individual hairs with the ends of scissors.

The piping behind the ears should not be raised above the beginning of hair growth.

The lateral lines of the edging, from the mastoid process to the bottom of the neck, are made depending on the fullness of the neck: for full clients, these lines are made in the form of a trapezoid; with normal fullness - a small cone, thin - almost straight (see below Fig. 111).

The edging is made clear up to the mastoid process, below its line the edging is gradually shaded, keeping the shape of the edging lines.

When edging the left side of the back of the head, the ends of the scissors are directed downward and turn the hand away from you. The scissors should be pressed firmly against the skin to cut the hair straight. When edging the right side, the ends of the scissors are also directed downward.

The horizontal edging of the lower edge of the hair with a shaved neck is made from right to left; scissors take a horizontal position with the ends to the left.

Having finished the design of the neck and the behind-the-ear edging, they proceed to the design of the temples, at the same time shaping the temporal region. The hair on the temples is combed forward to the face and trimmed, while the scissors are directed with the ends up (Fig. 109). Then the whiskey is trimmed. The shape of the temples and the methods of trimming them are the same as for other haircuts. Having checked with a mirror the same level of design of both temples, trim them if necessary.

After that, the client's head is turned to the right and left and the contours of the haircut are checked; the lines should be oval, not straight. Then the hair is combed to the side opposite to the parting (if the hairstyle is with a parting), and excess hanging hair is trimmed. If the hairstyle is without a parting (with a comb back or with a slope), comb the hair in the middle with a parting and trim the edges with very steep shading or thinning with serrated scissors. Then the front hair is combed back, and the side hair is brushed to the ears and temples and again steeply styled if they are too long.

A feature of soft hair is that when cutting with scissors over a comb, like a clipper over a comb, it is very easy to collapse. Therefore, soft hair should be combed and repeated very often.

Curly hair either shrinks or sticks out a lot, and the hairdresser may not cut it or "cut it". This is why, when cutting curly hair, it should also be combed frequently and removed gradually.

In conclusion, the haircuts produce the final polishing, wash the head or refresh the hair and comb it with a comb with a cotton swab.

Polka stitching with a typewriter... With this method of cutting, the work of the master is facilitated in comparison with cutting with scissors and the entire cutting process is speeded up. Performing a "polka" haircut with a machine, they cut only the edge lines of the hair, reducing them to nothing. The rest of the work is done with scissors.

The procedure for cutting is as follows: holding the comb in your left hand, comb the hair along its height to the bottom of the neck, after which the fingers are straightened, and the comb is clamped between the thumb and forefinger. With the right hand, place the machine in the middle of the neck, at the beginning of hair growth. Holding the edge of a stationary comb or the edge of the body of an electric machine, or the plug of a conventional machine, with the middle finger of the left hand, cut the hair, gradually moving the machine forward. At the same time, the teeth of the machine are lifted at the same time, reducing the hair to nothing. Thus, they cut first the left side of the head, then the right.

When cutting in the area of \u200b\u200bthe left mastoid process, the right edge of the machine is raised, and when cutting in the area of \u200b\u200bthe right mastoid process, the left edge of the machine is raised (Fig. 110).

Figure: 110. Reduction of hair with a machine in the area of \u200b\u200bthe mastoid process when cutting "polka".

If the hair is sparse, a comb is placed under the machine so as not to cut too much. The same is done when cutting behind the auricles; at the same time, the machine and the comb are slowly pushed up, the teeth of the machine turn steeply towards themselves.

The angle of hair reduction depends on the turn of the machine and the comb: the steeper the turn, the steeper the transition, and, conversely, the more gradual the turn of the comb, the more gradual the transition.

After cutting with a clipper, each strip is combed in order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe density, uniformity of removal and length of hair; repeat the haircut if necessary.

Sparse, especially light hair is nullified first with a typewriter No. 3, then No. 1 and No. 000. Sparse black and medium-dense blonde hair is nullified with machines No. 2, No. 1 and No. 000. Thick and black hair is removed with No. 1 and No. 000. This cutting sequence prevents excessive hair loss.

If the hair after cutting with a machine is not reduced to nothing, but shaved, then they make a border with scissors and shave the hair below the border.

After cutting the edge lines of the polka hairstyle with a typewriter, all other processes are performed in the same way as when cutting with scissors (the first method).

In training hairdressing salons, it is possible to carry out training with the permission of a client who cuts his head: to nullify the hair with scissors over a comb, a typewriter over a comb, and generally do all the polka-cutting techniques, and then cut it off with a clipper. Such training without prejudice to the client gives a lot to a young hairdresser.

Haircut "box *"... According to its style, the "boxing" haircut remembers the "half-box", but it is a more complex haircut, since the hair is removed with machines of lower numbers than the "half-box" haircut: No. 0, No. 00 and No. 000. And the lower the number of the machine, the it is more difficult to shade the transition after a haircut. Especially difficult haircut "boxing" with shaving the hair of the temporal and occipital regions.

* (Haircut "boxing" with a machine number 0 for the first category; No. 000 and with shaving - for the second and third categories.)

The sequence of haircuts: first, with scissors, not close to the skin, cut through the thickness of the hair along an oval line from the left temple through the back of the head to the right temple. Below this line, cut with a typewriter No. 0. Applying the edging line facilitates the work of the master and helps to produce uniform shading. But with shaved "boxing" the edging line can be cut with the ends of the scissors, pressing it tightly to the skin. After that, the hair below the edging line is cut with clippers No. 0, No. 00 or No. 000, or shaved on the neck, in the occipital region and the lower part of the temporal region. Then the edges are shaded, reducing the hair to nothing with machines No. 2, No. 1, No. 0, No. 00 or No. 000.

When removing hair above the shading line, they are reduced to nothing by placing a comb under the teeth of the machine. The hair at the very edge of the edging line is nullified with a smooth transition, especially with black thick hair, and the edge of the haircut is extinguished with the machine of the number that was used to cut the hair below the edging line.

A smooth transition must be done with a very slow movement of the machine, so that instead of a "boxing" haircut, a "hat" does not turn out. For stability, hold the machine with the middle finger of the left hand. In order for the shading to be visible, you should pay attention to the purity of the scalp. Therefore, in the process of shading, periodically wipe the scalp with cotton wool, cleansing it from small cut hair. If your hairdresser has sterilized brush or nylon brushes, you can clean your skin with them.

After shading the edge line, they start cutting with scissors. Thick hair is pre-milled. Hair is removed with scissors in the "on the toes" method, as well as in the "half-box" haircut, and then reduced to nothing. Then trim the front hair, combing it in the opposite direction from the parting. If the hair is done with a comb back, the hair in the middle is combed on both sides and trimmed with the tank.

Trimming of the temples and edging behind the auricles when cutting "boxing" are not performed, since both the temples and the area behind the ears are stewed with machines with zero numbers.

At the end of the haircut, the hair is combed according to the hairstyle worn by the client, and the shading lines are checked again. The master eliminates the noticed shortcomings. In conclusion, he performs the final grinding and makes the final operations.

It is not recommended for young masters to immediately make a haircut for "boxing" with machines No. 000 and No. 0000. You should thoroughly practice shading with a typewriter No. 000 on the blanks, for which you must first draw on the blank with chalk trimming lines with scissors.

In production practice, you first need to do a "boxing" haircut with a typewriter, No. 0, then No. 00, and only after that - with machines No. 000 and No. 0000.

More complex haircuts

(Below are haircuts for refresher courses for masters.)

It is believed that a technically well-done work is already artistic. This is not true. The master hairdresser takes into account the facial features, hair color, the shape of the client's head and accordingly makes the most suitable haircut shape.

If the client has a thin face, then the hair on the sides of the head should not be cut too much. If your side hair is sparse, you can create a "splendor" by curling it. Parting is done in the middle of the head or on the side. Parting in the middle should not be done for persons with a long nose, as with a straight parting, the nose seems even longer. Hairstyle with hair combed back with a thin face is permissible only with curly hair. In these cases, you need to leave the maximum splendor of the hair on the sides, and the middle should be milled and combed smoothly.

When cutting clients with a thin face, the hair is removed with scissors in the "on the fingers" method; the neck is lightly extinguished with scissors, then with a No. 000 machine, and the hair on the temples and behind the ears is left lush and edging is made.

For clients with a thin face, the "Russian" haircut is very suitable, and for clients with a full face and provided that there are no defects on the skin and the shape of the head is correct, "boxing", "half-box" and "summer" haircuts are more suitable. These types of haircuts are done with parting, without parting, or comb the hair back. With a full face, it is not recommended to part in the middle. With a convex crown and an oblong face, combined or conventional haircuts are recommended: "beaver", "hedgehog" or "square"; the haircut "square" softens and, as it were, shortens the length of the face, the "hedgehog" smoothes out the sharp features of the face, and the "beaver" hides the bulge of the crown.

In the presence of a bald patch with vellus hair on the crown, it is advisable to cut a short haircut from the sides, and dye vellus hair (slightly darker than the hair color). Then the bald spot becomes less noticeable. If you leave lush hair on the sides, the bald spot will stand out sharply.

To make the gray hair at the temples less noticeable, the hair at the temples should be cut very short. But this is not recommended for clients with very thin faces.

Before a haircut, you need to carefully examine the scalp and its shape. If there are skin defects, then, without disturbing the general shape of the haircut, remove the hair with a thin layer so that the defects are not visible. If a client asks for a haircut in which skin imperfections or an irregular head shape are noticeable, the master must convince the client to change the shape of the haircut. When choosing a haircut, hair color plays an important role. The darker the hair, the thicker it appears. Therefore, as a rule, the darker and thicker the hair, the more gradual the transition should be made. On the contrary, the lighter and less frequent the hair, the steeper the transition is made.

With the help of a mirror or turning the head, the master sees irregularities in the haircut, separately protruding hair and corrects them. With ordinary and combined haircuts, as well as with haircuts "beaver", "hedgehog" and "square", irregularities and roughness are revealed by dusting, since after dusting all the irregularities become more clearly visible.

To lubricate the hair when cutting "beaver", "hedgehog", "square" and when trimming the mustache, a fixative is used. Sometimes, at the request of the client, they lubricate very curly hair with a fixative. Vaseline, grease, brilliantine and burdock oil are usually applied to the hair after a haircut or before a haircut, when the client has just washed his hair and the hair is crumbling, making cutting difficult. Hair lubrication is done only with the consent of the client.

Temporarily protruding hair before cutting is moistened with cologne from a spray bottle. Constantly sticking out "recalcitrant" hair should not be moistened or lubricated before cutting, since after drying it will rise again, and the haircut turned out to be of poor quality. When cutting and combing clients with thin faces, lubricants do not need to be used, as the hair must be lush.

Haircut details

The design of the neck and back of the head is the basis of an artistic haircut. A skillful haircut can change the visibility of the shape of the neck: from full to medium, from thin to full. To give the neck the correct shape, make the edging with scissors. Below the edging, the hair is cut with a # 000 clipper or shaved, powder is applied and then hair is reduced to nothing. To add artistic shading, you need to shave your neck hair. At the end of the haircut, she will not look shaved, but the transition will turn out to be much more beautiful than a haircut with a No. 000 clipper.

With a thin neck, the side lines of the edging are made straight, with a full one - in the form of a trapezoid to "narrow" the width of the neck. With thick and black hair, the neck is shaved as follows: first, the hair is cut with machines No. 1 and No. 2, then with a machine No. 000. Shading is better if you cut with a machine No. 1 with a shading line width of 2 to 4 cm or with a wide no. 000 typewriter if it has an additional comb.

Type 000 can be used to make an artistic, so-called "smoky" transition. This transition is achieved by the fact that when the hair is reduced to nothing, the machine is held with the middle finger of the left hand and, gradually lifting, lead it steeply or gently, depending on the shape of the haircut. In general, when reducing hair to nothing, hold the typewriter of any number with the middle finger of the left hand. The finger gives the correct direction and stability to the movement of the clipper when cutting, which allows the master to trim hair more clearly. This method is difficult and requires practical skill.

Hair of medium density, brown-haired and black, is extinguished first with a typewriter No. 1, and then with a No. 000. When the hair is reduced to nothing with a typewriter No. 1, it should also be supported for support. Light and sparse hair is extinguished with type 2 or 3, then with type 1 and 000 (haircut system of the teacher of the high school of hairdressers D. D. Kutakov). Very rare dark hair and rare blonde hair are extinguished only with scissors (system of the teacher G. A. Borokhov). In this case, the transitions will look much nicer, but the haircut will take longer.

With the skillful use of the machine, you can achieve the same beauty of the transition as when working with scissors. Regardless of the method of initial processing of the neck, the shading is finished with a machine number 000.

Some clients shave their necks when cutting. Shaving the neck should be done with fullness in mind. The transition should be thin, oval, and not thick chopped off. When shaving hair on a thin or medium neck, the edging line is made rectangular, and the edges are slightly shaded, the edging line of the full neck is made in the form of a trapezoid with oval corners. The lateral lines of the neck are edged with scissors, with a gradual thickening of the shading towards the auricles. With all types of haircuts, with the exception of haircuts, with shaving the neck, the lateral edging of the neck is connected to the edging lines behind the auricles, from the mastoid process to the upper base of the auricle, below the mastoid process they are extinguished while maintaining the shape of the edging (Fig. 111).

In those cases when the hair on the neck grows in different directions and after shading there are separate hairs, they are removed with the ends of scissors (sometimes putting a comb) with a cone, in the direction of hair growth, creating shading artificially, as when removing hair with a machine (Fig. 112).

Temple decoration... Long temples (tanks), as it were, create proportionality of the face with the growth of the client. Therefore, it is recommended to wear them for tall people. For tall, thin people, to enhance the fullness of the face, it is recommended to make lush tanks, and full - tightly-cropped whiskey. Short whiskeys are more suitable for people of medium and short stature. With the correct facial features, make half-slanting temples, with sharp ones - straight ones, since they soften the sharpness of facial features; with an upturned nose, it is advisable to make the temples oblique (Fig. 113). Semi-oval whiskey is made only for children and women who wear short hair.

Wide temples are narrowed, shaved in front, then shaded so that the shaving line is not visible, and with the subsequent regrowth of hair, a shaved place does not stand out. Thick temples are left to persons with deep temporal cavities; thin - for persons whose temporal cavities are not noticeable.

Decoration of the occipital and lateral parts of the head... When cutting the occipital and lateral parts of the head, do not make straight lines. The transition should be gradual, oval. To obtain such haircut contours, you need to take into account the shape of the client's head and accordingly remove the hair above the fingers or scissors. To obtain an oval transition, the teeth of the combs are gradually turned towards themselves. The slower you turn the comb, the smoother the transition is; on the contrary, the faster the comb is turned, the steeper the ovality of the haircut.

A steep ovality behind the ears is done with long types of haircuts and with a "Russian" haircut. For long haircuts, it is achieved by thinning with serrated scissors. Scissors are dipped into a thick layer of hair and cut from the roots to the ends with a few strokes. Then the hair is combed and thinning continues until the oval shape is created.

Making a haircut behind the ears... When making a haircut behind the ears, you should not shave your hair or make a high edging, as after a few days the shaved hair will grow back and the haircut will lose its shape.

Hair Removal Method "on the fingers"... Finger hair removal is not done with all types of haircuts. When cutting with combing the hair back, the hair is not removed in this way, but is combed in half in the middle and steeply stewed so that they lie evenly and do not fall apart with uneven ends.

When removing hair "on the fingers", the first strip of hair, taking it between the index and middle fingers of the left hand, remove strand by strand from the middle of the forehead to the crown. With the second strip, hair is removed from the forehead to the back of the head in the parietal and temporal regions. First, hair is removed from the right side, then from the left.

When cutting the left side, the master stands in front of the client on the left side and cuts the hair above the fingers, strand by strand, moving his fingers away from him. While cutting strands of hair, the master holds the comb between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand.

All other sections of the hair are removed in a circle - from right to left. With a finger-cut, the hair is pushed forward so that it comes off evenly and not by a "ladder".

Grinding... Irregularities and separately protruding hair on the oval and the contours of the head are removed above the comb, in the direction of hair growth, by frequent blows (flapping) of scissors or lightly cutting the hair in the direction of their growth with an ordinary dangerous or special thinning razor. This is also achieved with an electric machine no. 000, which is driven without pressure in the direction of hair growth. More precise hair resurfacing is obtained by finishing with an electric razor. The razor is guided in the direction of hair growth above the hair that is sticking out.

Shaped haircut "polka". Cutting should be started after examining the client's skin and head shape. The haircut begins at the back of the head to determine the overall shape of the back of the head. To perform an artistic form of hair cutting transitions on the neck and back of the head, it is permissible to first make a border, then use scissors or a typewriter No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3, depending on the thickness and color of the hair, to reduce the hair to nothing. Finally, the hair is nullified with a machine number 000.

Uneven places of haircuts - elevations and separately protruding hair - are removed with the ends of scissors, directing them down or to the sides. After that, the hair on the temples is nullified. At the same time, hair is removed above the ears and from the behind-the-ear borders. The hair of the head is cut with scissors from the back of the head to the temples, first on the left side, then on the right.

Hair in the front, if necessary, is removed over the toes or filleted. Hair must be removed in such a way that in the future, when combing, the shape of the haircut does not change, and with a slight change in the direction of the parting, there was no falling of individual long hair. To do this, after cutting, the hair is combed obliquely, towards the direction of the parting, and the long hair is cut or milled in such a way that when the direction of the parting is changed, they do not stand out. This does not apply to special haircuts to cover bald spots.

After cutting the hair of the head, the behind-the-ear borders and temples are made out. In order to avoid excess hair on the temples, they are combed forward, towards the face, and trimmed with scissors. In conclusion, the haircut is checked with a mirror and the protruding hair is sanded separately.

As mentioned above, very thick and dark hair is removed first with a typewriter No. 3 or No. 2, then No. 1 and No. 000 (according to the system of the hairdressing master D. D. Kutakov). This method, however, can be used by masters with hair of any color and density. Very sparse and blond hair is cut only with scissors (according to the method of the master G. A. Borokhov).

Figure: 114. Shading hair with a "smoky" transition with a "polka" shaped haircut.

When cutting hair on the back of the head that has bulges, you need to be very careful so that, without exposing the bulge, you leave a thin layer of hair and adjust the shape of the haircut of the entire head to the usual one. For this, a cool shading is done on the neck, and the hair on the bulges is cut or milled as short as possible, but in such a way as not to expose the bulge. With a tapered head and a convex crown, lush hair is left on the sides. Above the temples and behind the ears, the hair is abruptly reduced to nothing. The degree of splendor of the hair on the sides and the steepness when canceling out depends on the degree of bulge of the crown and on the forums of the head. With the bulge of the temporal protrusions and the lateral parts of the head, the hair on the lateral parts is removed tightly. In case of deviations in the shape of the head, these works are done first of all, and then the usual haircut from the back of the head begins.

Combined haircut "polka"... Combined polka haircut can be done when you need to hide gray hair on the lateral parts of the head or convex temporal protrusions. The haircut is done in the usual way, first on the left side, then on the right, but the hair on the temples and temporal protrusions is removed with a typewriter No. 0 or No. 1, and the transitions are extinguished. With a strongly convex nape and at the same time large temporal protrusions, when it is impossible to make a "half-box" haircut, a combined "polka" haircut is also done. The hair on the back of the head is removed more than with the usual polka haircut, and the rest of the head is cut with a shading machine.

Haircut "polka" with very curly hair more complex than smooth hair. Curly hair seems to be thicker, therefore, before cutting, they are milled with serrated thinning scissors, successively strand by strand, starting from the front. The outermost hairs are not milled in front, so that short milled hairs are not visible. Thinning is done in the following order: the hair is combed on two sides in the middle (for a hairstyle with hair combing back) or milled on both sides of the parting around the head, from left to right. After dipping the comb into the top layer of hair, separate a strand of hair, take it with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand or pick it up with a comb, and cut (mill) with serrated scissors from roots to ends from two to five times, depending on the thickness of the hair.

Only long hair is cut with ordinary scissors. At the same time, strand by strand, half-open scissors canvases make movements from the ends of the hair to the roots (Fig. 115). The scissors are held in the right hand in the usual manner. The position of the scissors during thinning should be slightly sloping, which is achieved by turning the hand towards you (the end of the upper blade of the scissors is directed away from you). In this position, it is easier to cut (mill).

Thinning can also be done with thinning and regular razors on damp hair, milling them in the direction of growth.

After each thinning procedure, the hair is carefully combed to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe thickness of the remaining hair. If the hair is still too thick, the thinning is repeated, but in smaller sizes. At the end of the thinning, cut the hair in the same sequence as in the usual polka cut, starting from the middle of the neck. First, the left half of the head is cut, then the right.

After cutting curly hair, there is a lot of protruding hair. They are decorated and polished with scissors using a mirror, turning the client's head to the sides. Grinding is carried out with ordinary scissors over a comb (or without a comb) in the direction of hair growth or with an electric machine No. 000, leading it without pressure in the direction of hair growth.

Long hair polka very beautiful haircut, especially with black and brown hair color. The main feature of this type of haircut is that the length of the front hair reaches almost the back of the head. With this haircut, the hair is combed only back (with or without parting).

When cutting with hair combing back without parting, the hair is combed on two sides and trimmed at the same level. Then they are milled and combed back. The hair on the lateral parts of the head is also combed on the sides, milled and combed back, and on the temples and above the ears - sharply cut, combed back and decorated.

In the back of the head, the hair is abruptly reduced to nothing, and on the neck it is abruptly shaded. If the hairstyle is parted, then part is done. After that, check, correct imperfections and comb the hair with a comb with cotton wool on the teeth. Then the hair is refreshed, smeared with grease, brilliantine, petroleum jelly or burdock oil and combed smoothly, and with light hair, styling is done (Fig. 116).

Figure: 116. Haircut "polka" with long hair and styling.

Haircut "youth" was first used in 1955 by the young Leningrad master Lyudmila Petrovna Vasilyeva and was soon adopted and implemented by Leningrad masters.

Haircut "youth" is a kind of beautiful haircut. At the request of the client, when the hair does not lie in the right direction, apply hot or cold hair styling or styling with a hair dryer.

The technique of performing the "youth" haircut is as follows: the hair on the neck is steeply blending, lower than with the "polka" haircut. With a full neck, shading the hair on the neck is done with a cape. First, scissors give the shape of a cape, cut the neck with a machine number 000 and with the same machine reduce the hair to naught and extinguish, keeping the shape of the cape. When shading the neck, the machine is held against the cork with the middle finger of the left hand, tightly pressing one edge of the machine against the sheared neck line and lifting the other edge so as not to spoil the shape of the cape. This shading method is difficult and requires a lot of attention when trimming the hair to nothing, since, on the one hand, it is necessary to preserve the shape of the cape, on the other, the general shape of the shading of the neck and hairstyle.

Then parting of the lateral parts of the head is done (first on the left side, in a lot - on the right), abruptly reduce the hair to nothing and comb it back up. After that, the hair on the temples and behind the auricles is edged without reducing them to nothing. Depending on the shape of the face, the length of the temples is made higher or lower. The temples should be full and the behind the ear should not be visible. Hair is removed above the fingers in the usual way: in the front - by 10 - 12 cm, and without styling - somewhat shorter (6 - 8 cm). Towards the crown, the hair is removed shorter in front of the head - even shorter, with the exception of curly hair. Then the hair is combed from the sides to the crown, and from the back to the center of the back of the head.

After the final check, the head is washed, dried, or curled (hot, cold or air jet with a hair dryer). The middle of the head is curled in waves from front to back to the back of the head, and the sides are curled in waves towards the center of the back of the head so that they cover the waves coming from above. The ends of the lateral waves are connected, and the place of their connection is pulled with a comb down to the center of the cape and the neck, forming a connecting line (Fig. 117 and 118).

Figure: 117. Haircut "youth" (nape type).

Figure: 118. Haircut "youth" (profile view).

The second form of hairstyle "youth" with the help of tongs, curlers, hair dryer is achieved as follows: first, fan-shaped light waves are made from the side hair. They are connected to the center of the head with opposite wave lines. The ends of the waves of the front hair are tied together to create a curl in the form of coca.

Sports haircut "boxing"... Haircut "boxing" is done in several types: shaved (Fig. 119) or clipped occipital and lateral parts of the head, with hair removal along the line of the temporal protrusions and along the line of the temporal cavities.

Figure: 119. Haircut "boxing" with shaved sides and backs of the head.

Slight deviations in the shape of the head (enlarged temporal bulges and depressions) can be adjusted with a curly edging, which is made at different heights of a straight, oval or other shape. The larger the temporal cavities, the lower the edging is made, and the larger the temporal bulges, the higher the edging is made. With a convex nape with a rounded shape of the head, the edging of the nape is made lower - under the bulge. The edging of the lines above the ears is made oval, according to the shape of the head by 2 - 4 cm from the auricles (Fig. 120).

At the beginning of the haircut, the ends of the scissors outline the edging line, after which the hair below the edging line is shaved or cut with a machine number 000.

For a smooth transition, depending on the density and color of the hair, they are extinguished, canceling out with machines No. 0, No. 1 or No. 2, supporting the machine with the middle finger of the left hand for an emphasis. With dark, especially black, thick hair, the transition is made smooth (at least 5 cm width), otherwise you will get a sharp line and instead of a boxing haircut you will get a hat; with black hair of medium density and thick brown hair, the transition width is made 3 - 4 cm; with brown hair of medium density and thick light - 2 - 3 cm; with light, rare and medium density - 2 cm.

After removing the hair with a typewriter No. 0, No. 1 or No. 2, the shaving edges are shaved off with a shaving machine No. 000. To make the edge of shaved hair completely invisible, it is nullified with a razor in an oblique direction in relation to the shading line, leading the razor almost airy.

Individual hairs left after shading are removed with the ends of scissors. The hair on the top of the head is cut over the comb and over the toes, as in a polka cut. After that, the master checks the haircut, that is, he looks for dark shades and irregularities. The master makes a general check at a distance of 1 - 2 steps to the side and back from the client, as well as turning his head to the sides. The master eliminates the noticed shortcomings.

When determining the width of the transition, you can use the following data:

The "boxing" haircut without edging is done in the same order: the hair is removed with a typewriter # 000 and shaded to naught. The negative side of a "box" haircut without a border is that the shading may be uneven, as a result of which the haircut will be damaged or it will take a lot of time to correct it.

At the end of the haircut, the head is washed or thoroughly wiped with cotton swabs and refreshed, combed with a brush with cotton wool in the teeth and then styled or combed smoothly.

Haircuts "hedgehog", "beaver" and "square"

Haircuts "hedgehog", "beaver" and "square" came into vogue in the late 19th - early 20th centuries. Sometimes these three types of haircuts are simply called "beaver", subdividing them into round, oval and flat, but this is not true.

Hedgehog haircut got its name from the fact that with her the hair on the head sticks out in a circle, like a hedgehog; when cutting "beaver" a flat area is formed on top of the head, resembling the back of a beaver, and rounded sides are made; when cutting "square" (which means square) both the platform and sides are flat.

All these three types of haircuts have features both in shape (Fig. 121) and in the technique of the haircut itself.

Shaving bald is a bold move for women and men alike. There are enough reasons for a radical change in the image. For some, a zero haircut is the only way out after chemotherapy or a way to get rid of head lice, dandruff, etc.

But more often people are driven by another feeling - a passion for experiments, revolutionary or non-standard solutions. A haircut has not defined a person's belonging to a particular subculture for a long time, as it was before. A bald head is a kind of intellectual shocking, which is perceived by many as a sign of an extraordinary personality.

There is a medical fact - men with excess testosterone begin to go bald early. And some are genetically prone to alopecia. This can happen at the age of 20-30 or later.

Hair falls out rapidly or vice versa, gradually, forming large bald patches or bald patches on the back of the head. There is a choice: to constantly hide the signs of loss of hair or to shave baldly.

When lice or dandruff appear, the first way that doctors recommend is to do a bald haircut. This quickly solves the problem and makes treatment easier.

Recently barbershops began to open en masse - men's hairdressing salons. This is a whole culture, like a closed club, membership or membership in which is honorable.

Barbers (craftsmen) perform an unusual haircut and shave of the head or face with a dangerous tool that ordinary hairdressing salons have not done for a long time.

The conclusion suggests itself, men have enough reasons to completely cut their hair bald.

The bald haircut scheme is as follows:

Apply the gel to your skin (in moderation).
Start shaving gently, moving the machine freely from the forehead to the neck.
Each pass should be completed by flushing the instrument.
With this technique, the hair of the anterior zone is shaved against growth, and on the occipital zone - according to growth. Otherwise, the skin may become inflamed, causing severe irritation.
Run your hand over the shaved area to check for smoothness. Finish the remaining hair in small steps.
Apply the gel to the back of the head. Now the direction is reversed. The machine should move from the neck to the crown (up). Increase pressure on the suboccipital cavity.
Pull the ear slightly on the lateral zones, the machine moves from bottom to top in small steps.
Repeat the same movements at the temples.
Rinse your head with cool water to wash off the remaining gel mass.
Treat your skin with lotion or milk. Panthenol cream has excellent recommendations.

The better to shave your head bald

There are 3 head cutting tools:

Electric shaver - leaves an inconspicuous stubble, does not require the use of a mirror. Does not damage moles or scars.
The machine is the fastest haircut option, with skill injury is excluded. Does not completely remove soft hair.
Razor - creates a perfectly smooth surface, special shaving kits for the head are sold.

To understand which of the cutting tools suits your skin, you will have to actually apply each of them.

What happens if you cut your hair baldly

It is better to prepare the close environment in advance for such a radical change of image. This is especially true for women who wore long curls for a long time. For most men, haircutting a lady's head can be a serious stress.

Be prepared for public opinion. Many people associate a haircut with criminals and bandits. There may be problems with the documents at the customs - they will not let you in because of the discrepancy, you will have to take a new passport photo.

The reasons are as follows:

when cutting, the baby may get scared, suddenly twitch, which will lead to cuts;
the sound and sensations on the skin of the machine can provoke stress in the baby;
children have fragile places on their heads - these are fontanelles on the crown. If damaged, the consequences can be irreversible.

For adults, haircut is safe. The only caveat is that you will have to grow your hair to the same length for a long time.

Should you get a bald haircut?

When choosing a hairstyle, correlate how much it matches your lifestyle, habits and style.

Pay attention to the following details:

anatomical features that can spoil the impression after a haircut;
own character, are you creative enough;
social status.

The main incentive is your desire, you need to really want radical changes.

How to properly care for a bald head?

Follow these steps:

Thin or sensitive skin - daily moisturizing treatment.
Use UV-protected creams in summer, cosmetic oil in winter.
Wear hats that are appropriate for the season.
In men, increased production of fat, with severe sweating in the morning and evening, apply alcohol-based tonics to the head. You can use matting wipes to apply throughout the day.
To prevent the skin from getting rough, massages are recommended to improve blood circulation.

Even a bald hairstyle should look well-groomed.

Is it useful or harmful to cut your hair baldly?

Shaving can have a harmful effect in case of serious dermatological problems - the formation of a crust on the scalp, inflammatory processes, open wounds.

Cutting can cause cuts on uneven surfaces. It is difficult to properly disinfect an instrument at home.
