Any master knows that, having done even the most perfect hairstyle, you need to make the final touch. That is, make a hair trim.
With the help of the edging, the master outlines the curls with a sharp line. It limits them throughout the growth of hair, as well as in individual areas, which gives the hairstyle the final silhouette. However, it should be remembered that the edging is done exclusively along the edge of hair growth. It is permissible to carry it out at the beginning of the haircut.
What do you need for work?
In work, the master uses scissors, a razor or a typewriter. And to choose the type of edging you need to take into account the client’s hairstyle , especially his face, neck. It is necessary to study the appearance of a person and take into account the structural features that he would like to emphasize. Or flaws that are better to hide. You also need to determine the natural direction and characteristics of hair growth.
Features of using tools
To adjust the silhouette with scissors, you should often comb your hair. This will allow you to detect uncut, missed hairs. They will need to be distinguished from common strands, since after a while they will appear on the general background of the hairstyle and make the appearance untidy, imperfect. Women's hair trim allows the use of scissors only, especially when it comes to long curls.
In order to make edging using a machine, you need to have a special skill. This tool is very convenient, quick and easy to cut hair. But at the same time, you can do irreparable harm with one sweep, cutting off more or not where it is needed. Therefore, the hair must be combed at a right angle, only in the direction of the edging line.
It is advisable to use a dangerous razor only if it is necessary to carry out edging in the neck area. Edging for men can be done not only with a razor, but also with other tools. This is due to the fact that the master to create a spectacular image in a man's haircut has to cut and shave with a razor, and resort to using a typewriter.
Having found out all the details, the master should ask the client questions during which he will find out what exactly he wants to have at the end of the haircut. Based on this, he determines what type of hair will be in which zone. For example, even or milled, long or, conversely, short, full or lightweight, or perhaps nullified.
Edging on the neck. Kinds
Masters have developed several standard forms of hair trim for different areas of the head.
The edging on the neck is divided into several types:
- Straight. A similar type of hair trim is performed equally for men and women. Before starting a haircut, comb the hair back with a thin comb and divide it into strands. Then cut in a straight line. The main thing is to cut the hair, starting from the middle, in different directions. A similar method helps to get the most accurate, straight cut line.
- Oval. The beginning of the edging is the same. Next, instead of a straight line, cut an oval line. Short edging is done exclusively for women, and elongated - for everyone.
- Arcuate. The master selects the strands and combs them back, a little down. Strands must be cut off from the inside of the fingers. Fingers should be parallel to the hairline.
- Bracket. Such a hair trim is masculine, and it is made exclusively to the stronger sex. Allowable length is to the collar zone of the shirt. The edging is carried out by combing the hair back and cutting them in a straight line. Then combed forward, cutting them at an angle. The latter should be calculated based on the size of the client’s neck. So, the wider the neck, the larger the angle. The resulting angles should be slightly cut. To make the line thinner, it is necessary to shade the hair at a distance of 1 cm.
- Horseshoe. Valid for everyone. To do this, the master collects hair in the center of the neck, cutting to the desired length. If an elongated line is required, then on the sides of the strand you need to twist with a plait. And only then shave.
- Triangular. Offered for everyone. Any length is acceptable. Hair is divided into 2 parts using a central vertical parting. Then you need to pull the strands from the central parting to the imaginary sides of the triangle and cut it off. The length of the border depends on the angle of the fingers.
- Curly. Suitable for everyone. This edging of short hair is done exclusively with scissors, cutting according to the drawing proposed by the client or master. It is permissible to leave a natural hairline.
Temples edging
Several haircut options are acceptable. The main thing is to remember that both temples should be similar. This is due to the fact that the edging line connects the line of the temples and the nape, passing through the ears.
Typically, classic hairstyles use a straight or angular contour of the temples. To add some elegance make an elongated lock. And for rigor, a right-angled edging is suitable.
If at the temples you want to make more volume, then simply carry out the thinning of the lock. Decorative edging is allowed.
Fringing bangs. How to do it right?
Before cutting, you should outline the length and width of the bangs, and it is also important to determine its thickness. Since it depends on where to start: from the middle of the head or closer to the edge. Usually a bang is created in the form of a rectangle. From it further form her various styles. The type of hair plays an important role. Say, for example, with rare hair it is best to make the bangs even.
Distinguish such forms as oblique, straight, curly, asymmetric and others. With any fringing on the bangs, you should first separate the locks. The first, shaped and trimmed, will control the subsequent ones. As soon as the bangs are ready, it must be combed and checked very carefully. All irregularities resulting from a haircut must be corrected by thinning.
Long hair
No less important and heavy is the edging of long hair. Its feature is that it begins before the main haircut. To do this, all the hair gradually lifts up. The remaining strands are combed and cut to the desired length. The line should be exactly horizontal. The main thing is to remember that the first cut strand will be a control one. Then gradually continue the haircut.
All these types of edging can only be done by a professional, but it’s possible to cut your own bangs yourself. Do not be afraid to spoil the haircut, as an unsuccessful attempt can be hidden under the tape or the rim.
Masters Tips
Here are some tips from the wizard:
1. Before you start cutting, you should separate the bangs from the rest of the hair mass.
2. If you cut the classics, that is, the length to the eyebrows, then just comb the strands. Then shear exactly the horizontal line.
3. If we want to get an elongated version, then align the hairs from the inside. To do this, comb the strands in the middle and collect in a bundle. Then cut to the desired length.
4. For asymmetric bangs, start the haircut with a side parting. We form a rectangle, and then cut it obliquely, from large to small.
5. To bangs lay smoothly, you need to cut the lower hairs a little shorter. Then carry out a thinning.
