How to choose the right hairstyle
In order for sports short haircuts to emphasize the advantages of appearance, they need to be selected taking into account the shape of the face and hair structure. They will look especially good on the owners of a round or oval face. Due to the minimum length, such haircuts emphasize the face, so they should be chosen for those who have large expressive features. The anatomical features of the structure of the skull are also important: the smoother it is, the more the hairstyle will look better.
Sports haircuts are suitable for holders of square or triangular shapes. If you have a high forehead, then you need to lengthen the bangs. But if a man has a long narrow face, too long nose, then such a style will not suit them. Also, do not choose a haircut in a sports style for those who have too small facial features.
But such a hairstyle can be done on the hair of any structure: they look good on both straight and curly strands.
Zero haircut
Despite the fact that this option seems to be the simplest, in fact it is quite demanding. “Under zero” is worth a haircut for men who have:
- oval face shape;
- perfect skull shape;
- manly chin line.
Such a haircut is a quick way to radically change your image. It is done with scissors, combs, cars with a nozzle number 1 and a razor (best safe). The technique is simple:
- hair should be washed and dried;
- if there are long strands, they need to be cut with scissors to a minimum length;
- machine the back of the head, the side parts so that the hair is of the same minimum length in these areas: you must first move in the vertical direction, then horizontally and diagonally;
- To achieve smoothness, you need to make a correction with a razor.
But in order to maintain the right kind of hairstyle, you need to go to the master on time to correct the haircut.
Haircut hedgehog
Another popular option. On the sides, the hair should be short, and on the parietal part they should be longer. In the traditional version, the haircut should repeat the contour of the head, but if you want to make the image more bold, the locks need to be ruffled.
The technique for creating a hedgehog haircut is as follows.
- Freshly washed and dried hair should be divided into several parts. Make a vertical parting from ear to ear through the crown area. From one temple to another through the occipital region, parting is done horizontally.
- The machine processes the hair on the back of the head in a downward direction to a horizontal parting. Approaching this line, you need to increase the length of the hair so that the transition turns out smooth.
- Scissors cut hair from the forehead to the vertical parting line, the strands should not be longer than 2-3 cm.
- The hair at the temples needs to be made to a minimum length.
- Make a haircut correction by removing all inaccuracies and making the parting lines smoother.
A hedgehog is ideal for those who do not want to spend a lot of time creating a styling and want the hairstyle to maintain a neat appearance.
Haircut playground
Also one of the popular sports hairstyles. Another name is tennis. A distinctive feature of the haircut is smooth smooth lines. At the top, a haircut is similar in shape to a rounded area. This option is universal and suitable for men with any face shape (only owners of an elongated face need to choose more carefully).
The haircut execution algorithm is as follows.
- All hair located on the fringing line is cut with a machine to a minimum length.
- In the direction from the forehead to the crown, the strands are cut with scissors, gradually shortening. The longest ones are left on the forehead line - this is the height of the site. The hair on the back of the head is also cut short. To make the shape of the platform smooth, the scissors must be kept at right angles.
- At temples with hair they work with a machine - they should be of the minimum length. The final touch - giving the hairstyle a smooth and rounded shape.
The advantage of the site is that it is possible to create different stackings thanks to the elongated strands on the crown.
Boxing and semi-boxing
These two options are very similar, but they also have slight differences. In boxing, the hair length is shorter, and the transition from long to short is more pronounced. In a half-box, the hair is left a little longer and bangs are acceptable. An experienced craftsman can make both of these sports a haircut machine.
For boxing, use nozzle No. 3, for a half-box - No. 4 and treat the entire head.
The border line runs through the back of the head over the temporal regions. The hair below this line is cut with a nozzle No. 1.
If necessary, cut and bangs.
Despite the fact that sporting haircuts, half-boxing and boxing are simple, they emphasize masculinity and add accuracy to the image.
Canadian
This haircut is distinguished by the presence of volume in the upper part of the hairstyle. And the back of the head, whiskey and crown are cut shorter. Creating a Canadian is simple, and quite possible at home. We act like this.
- Freshly washed and dried hair is pulled back.
- Two partings are made: horizontal - from ear to ear through the crown and vertical - from each temporal region to the horizontal parting.
- Starting from the forehead line and ending at the border of the first parting, the hair is cut at a right angle and leave a length of 3 cm.
- In a similar way they work with the sides.
- Then the lower part of the nape is treated with a machine. Rising higher you need to gradually increase the length of the strands. To do this, you can use the nozzle number 3.
- The remaining strands are trimmed with scissors to make the transitions smoother.
