How to cut a square: the principles of haircuts
Classical technology consists in layer-by-layer removal of length, starting from the nape. To begin with, all hair is divided into zones, stabbed so that they do not interfere with work with the neighboring area. In the lower occipital zone, the first strand is separated along the border of hair growth. She will be the control. It is carefully cut with a straight line at the desired length - usually this is the middle of the neck.
How to cut a square? Checking the control strand: after combing, the extreme hair is connected with the tips. If it is selected and sheared correctly, this connection will be located on the central axis of the neck, above the seventh vertebra.
Then, along the control strand, the entire occipital zone is trimmed: both the lower and upper parts. Go to the temporal zones, combing each separated layer and pulling the strand to the control. If you neglect this and rely on your eye, then the face can get shorter strands. To lengthen the face, the first control strand is made into a concave line. In the subsequent orientation to it, the edging line continues to be lowered.
Sometimes the length of the face is set immediately. In this case, it is easier to complete the entire edging in a circle, then it remains to focus on the first layer and rise to the top of the head in rows.

When combing and pulling down, its line is horizontal. Sometimes for thick hair make a slight extension (1-2 mm) of each row so that the hair is beautifully curled inward.

Such a caret begins to be performed as a classic: one side is made even, and the second is cut with elongation to the face. To do this, all the hair is combed from the crown to the sides, the length of the strand near the face is determined and cut off. The entire temporal zone is sheared along it: both the lower and upper parts. At the same time, the control strand is pulled back and each layer is aligned with the edging.
How to cut bangs
Bangs - a separate haircut. In order not to make a mistake in its formation, you should carefully separate the hair of the parietal zone. Not a single hair from the temples should get into the bangs. For a thicker, voluminous bangs, a triangle is separated, the top of which will be the crown, the base is the frontal fringing of the hair. To further increase the volume, cut the hair of the separated area, lifting it perpendicular to the surface of the head. This is shown in the video.
