History of appearance

It is generally accepted that the "Crop" haircut appeared in France. Similar forms were worn back in the Middle Ages. Hairstyles, as close as possible to the modern variation, began to be done at the beginning of the 20th century in Normandy. During the wartime of the First World War, the haircut penetrated the army environment. After that, the comfortable and unusual shape quickly spread to the masses.

The origin of the haircut name is logical. "Crop" translated from English means "short crop". Similar shapes have never been excessively long. The difference in the length of the strands only created a contrast. The version of the territory of origin led to the addition of the "French" addition to the name.

By the middle of the last century, Crop had evolved into the more extravagant Pompadour. Although the eccentric option quickly lost its relevance. The classic, moderate form is remembered today. "Crop" is offered by many stylists, positioning the model as simple, but not devoid of originality.

Haircut scheme

You can get a haircut in the salon with a professional stylist or try to cut your own hair if you have the skills to work with a hair clipper.

The following tools are required:

• hair clipper;
• special hairdressing scissors;
• comb with a long handle and frequent teeth.

Before starting the haircut process, it must be borne in mind that this hairstyle requires careful and careful execution. If you shave asymmetrically at the temples or the back of the head, you will have to shorten the area where the hair is longer. As a result, it may turn out not quite what was planned at the beginning.

A professional hairdresser is guaranteed to complete all stages of the haircut and get the desired result.

All stylists work according to the following scheme.

1. Separate the part to be cut with virtual lines. The horizontal one separates the crown from the back of the head, and the vertical one separates the whiskey from the crown. You can use a hair spray and fix the visually separated areas.
2. Cut with a machine with a short length attachment. The occipital region and temples are trimmed. They start from the right temporal zone, then go to the back of the head and to the other temple.
3. Using a clipper with extended knives create a gentle transition from the edges of long hair to trimmed areas at the temples and back of the head.
4. Uncut hair is combed forward, cut with scissors using the strand-by-strand method, separating from each other with vertical parting, moving from the crown to the face. The crown is trimmed, separating the strands with radial parting. The length of the hair at the crown is taken as a basis.
5. In the region of the crown, the angle formed from the hair is removed, moving towards the bangs. The strands are separated horizontally.
6. Decorate the bangs, making it straight or torn (thinning).
7. The lower part of the occiput and neck cover is completely shaved off.

Whiskey can be shaved in lines or patterns. The bangs are of different lengths and shapes: very short, to the middle of the forehead or to the eyebrows. Sometimes the "crop" is made out almost without bangs, in this case the bangs are left, but they are cut very shortly.

Stylists' secrets

The haircut looks neat and careless at the same time - this is a distinctive feature of the crop. The hairstyle can be smooth or torn in texture, of different lengths, and have a different ratio of trimmed and shaved sections. The crown of the head with bangs is sometimes laid in different directions.

Each crop haircut has the following features.

• clean-cut temples and nape;
• lush crown;
• bangs (any size and texture).

The classic version is hair cut or shaved on the sides and on the back of the head with a neatly trimmed top of the head. There is a slight borderline contrast between the longer hair at the top and the shorter at the bottom. It is important to maintain the proportions and not make the transition too abrupt. The haircut is characterized by a smooth transition, without stripes, spots and irregularities.

From bottom to top, the section with shorter hair goes smoothly, then the border of an even transition. At the top of the head, a voluminous soft silhouette is made from longer strands.

Independent and professional execution

It is possible to cut your hair using the "Crop" form on your own. It is enough to be able to handle a hair clipper. Before completing the task, you need to get acquainted with the technology, it is advisable to watch a video recording the work of a professional master. Achieving the result is impossible without the standard set of tools:

• machine with attachments;
• scissors with sharp blades;
• thin comb.

In the absence of experience in performing haircuts, one must be prepared for errors. It will be possible to correct the shortcomings only by shortening the length, which often leads to shaving the hair under "0". If there is no such readiness, then it is better not to attempt independent work. Moreover, the services of a master in an ordinary hairdressing salon will cost 300-600 rubles. The participation of a professional contractor guarantees strict adherence to the technology.

Styling variations

• For men with a wide forehead and narrow chin, with a "heart" and "triangle" face, several strands are additionally removed from the crown. The transition is sharp with a clear outline.
• For a round face, the master performs a gradual transition between short and long hair and shaves part of the back of the head.
