How to Make a Haircut - 20 Fast and Easy Tips for Making Better Haircuts

If you can’t get your ideal hairstyle through a haircut, a deep wave wig or hair bundles can help you easily. 

1.  The hair should be completely washed before hair cutting, and the hair should be cut when the hair is wet. Because when the hair is wet, it will not slide down from the scissors between your fingers, so that you can better control it. You can see the head shape very clearly, which is clearer when you cut it. Wet hair can make you better see the natural trend of hair and fully grasp it.

2.  The first part of haircutting is to repair a general outline. Generally speaking, it starts from the back neck, with a large hairpin to clamp all parts of the hair, and then cut the hair in layers. It can also be cut from both sides to the rear to trim the starting preliminary contour.

3.  After you cut a short or graded short hair, let your customers stand up, and you can clearly see the completion of the hairline from the bottom. This step can also be carried out during the hair cutting process, or put the mirror under the hairline to check the completion of the hairline.

4.  The way to soften the fringe and contour is to cut from a point. Use the tip of the scissors to gently brush the hair. In this way, you can control the amount of hair trimmed at will and avoid damaging the hairline.

5.  Place the mirror above the customer's head to check the balance of the overall volume.

6.  A simple way to check the symmetry of both sides of your hair is to stand on the front or back of your customer and put a rear mirror on both sides of him/her so that you can see the hair effect on both sides at the same time.

7.  After the haircut is finished, you can stand at the front, back, left, and right of the customer and keep a distance to observe. In this way, the overall hairstyle will appear small, the eyes can receive information under one arm, and it is easy to see the disharmony and disproportion, so as to ensure the perfection of the hairstyle

8.  When checking the thickness of tilt forward graded short hair, comb the hair in the opposite direction of the original cut, and the imperfections will be obvious.

9.  In the final inspection after trimming a short hair, stand on the side of your customer, slowly comb the hair away and back, focus on the outline, and repeat the process behind the customer. The contour should be the same no matter which side the head turns.

10.  When checking a curly hairstyle, light refraction will appear inside the curly hair, so that people can't focus on the real outline of the hairstyle. Try half closing your eyes, and you will find that your eyelashes block the reflection, so your hair will become clear.

11.  When checking the short curly hairstyle, the most effective way is to comb the hair forward from the neck, then from the forehead to the back, and then to both sides. The effect of this hairstyle should remain the same.

12.  The hair should be trimmed accurately before the perm. There is a common misconception that a hairstyle need not be perfect before a perm, because curly hair can cover up any mistakes. This is wrong! Hairdresser perm hair should be trimmed, otherwise, the hair will be distorted.

13.  When trimming the hair, the best way to achieve the complete effect is cross-cutting trimming. This trimming technique is to comb the hair away from the head in the opposite direction of the original trimming, carefully check the overall accuracy, and look for any imperfections and trim them.

14.  Study your customer's head sign carefully. For example, touch the skull to see if there are irregularities, how the ears protrude, the density and level of hair change, and whether there are scars or birthmarks on the scalp. These can not be ignored when cutting hair.

15. When trimming, it should not be against the hairline but should be trimmed along the natural growth of the hair as far as possible.

16. Before cutting the hair short, carefully check whether it has two or three turns. These characteristics should be adopted and taken care of when cutting the hair.

17.  Try to make your customers wear fewer clothes on their neck and shoulders so that it is easier to see the overall shape from crown to neck when you cut your hair.

18.  When trimming, the hair you comb out should be as thin as possible so that you can see the trimmed part in front because you need to take it as a reference.

19.  When making a shape, it is helpful to put a white paper card at hand, especially for black hair. If you put the paper card in front or back of your head, the shape will appear more clearly.

20.  Leave part of the thickness treatment after blowing the hair until it's dry, which will be accurate.
