What a haircut looks like: options

Mallet (from the English mullet - mullet) is a special type of haircut that plays on short strands at the crown of the head, on the sides and effectively complements them with longer strands at the back of the head. Her story is simple. For the first time, New England fishermen, who fished for a long time off the coast of North America, came up with a haircut in this way. They were attracted primarily by practicality.

The strong wind did not blow hair over the face or eyes. And thick strands on the back of his head covered his neck from his cold gusts in winter or the scorching rays of the sun in summer.

There are many options for men's mullet haircuts, mainly depending on styling methods:

• Hairstyle with even, straight strands. It looks neat. Suitable for everyday looks.

Hairstyle for a teenager

A guy of 13-16 years old, if desired, can make a haircut with his own hands. As a result, it will turn out to achieve a daring "rocker" result. But a hairstyle from a professional hairdresser always looks neater, more elegant.

In the process, you will need to process first the zones with short hair, and then those on which the length transitions are. You also need to secure each clipping area separately.

Haircut technology:

The process should start from the bottom. In this case, the length is formed along a single line. The whiskey should not come out below the ear, regardless of which haircut variation is chosen. These areas are best worked with scissors. It is also advisable to apply the shading technique or "strand to strand".

The clamp is removed from the area from the ear to the temple. This part is cut with a side parting. When the base of the haircut is completely ready, you can move on to the crown or crown. In the process, you will need to select a rectangular strand along the line from the left ear to the right as a control. If a haircut is performed with a uniform crown and bangs combed up, then each next strand also becomes a control one.

The process ends with the bangs. After it is milled. If necessary, this can be done immediately from above and from the side.

5. Then all other curls are cut. In the process, they are superimposed on one another. It is important to adhere strictly to a straight line.
6. Next, the area of ​​the temples is corrected. It all starts with creating a temporal parting. A thin strand is separated and processed with a razor. After 2 more strands are highlighted, the temple is edged to open the ear.
7. The side section continues to be made out with professional scissors. Diagonal partings will help in this. It is convenient to create oblique borders from small sections of hair. In the process, the strands are pulled to the oval. They overlap. As a result, the temples will have clear contours. Both parties are formalized in the same way.
8. The cutting control is carried out in the region of the crown. In this case, a straight line is outlined. At the crown, the strands are neatly pulled back, a slight elongation is created.
