Hair trimming before and after

What it is?

Many ladies have heard about hair thinning, but not everyone knows what this definition means. So, filing the head of hair is a mandatory step in the formation of most short haircuts. This stage is necessary in order to evenly distribute the volume of the existing hairstyle on the surface of the head.

Simply put, thinning is the thinning of curls, performed by cutting individual strands at different heights.

Types of filing and their purpose

Everyone is familiar with the original haircuts, but not many people know what hair thinning is for. This procedure is able to create the effect of thick hair, correct the shape or create a unique shape of the hairstyle.

Hairdressing professionals use several options for thinning:

• Basal.
• Hair thinning along the entire length.
• Thinning the ends.

Advice! To prevent the tips from fluffing after the procedure, you should avoid excessive heating of the curls during styling or use protective equipment.

Battle for volume

At all times, thick and lush hair was considered the standard of beauty. But nature has endowed not all women with such wealth. An effective way to get a voluminous haircut is root thinning. The cropped strands prevent the curls from falling and create the effect of a voluminous hairstyle.

Advice! To perform this thinning option, you should choose an experienced master, otherwise you can get a haircut with protruding short hairs.

The challenge is clear lines

Original haircuts cannot be created without thinning. Unique geometric shapes, "torn" strands - this is what thinning gives. The method adds airiness to the hairstyle, which greatly simplifies everyday styling.

Defeating Unkempt Tips

Thinning the ends of the hair is the most common version of this procedure, which is able to ensure smooth transitions in length. Thinning helps to get rid of split ends and gives a well-groomed hair.

When thinning is necessary

Experienced craftsmen decide for themselves when to thin the hair. When the type of hairstyle changes dramatically, it is advisable to look at examples of work - photos before and after thinning.

There are general guidelines for choosing a thinning haircut:

1. for owners of curly hair, this method will help remove the severity of the hair and form obedient curls;
2. a round face will acquire the correct outlines;
3. the extended strands will look natural;
4. thick, dense hair after thinning is easy to style.

Attention! But there are situations when thinning can ruin a woman's appearance. This applies to hair dyed with strong bleaching agents and artificial curls resulting from perm.

What hair thinning scissors look like, how much they cost, popular models and brands

The hairdresser's main milling tool is scissors. Without them, a good and high-quality hairstyle will not work. When choosing, they rely on several factors: budget, model, brand. The following characteristics are also taken into account:

• The size of the teeth. Large ones cope with large volumes of hair, and small ones will give additional volume and splendor.
• The location of the denticles. There is one-way and two-way. The first option is more convenient and practical.
• Pens. Some models have overlays for ease of use.

The pricing of the thinning scissors depends on the material, brand and the features they offer. The average price is 1,500 rubles. Professional models will cost at least 8,000 rubles. The leading companies selling the tool are JAGUAR, DEWAL and KAPOUS. Lthe best models are:

• KAPOUS SK10T for RUB 1,530;

• DEWAL PROFI STEP 102 for RUB 1,556;

Thinning with a razor

Hair trimming with a razor is done on wet curls. In the process of work, it is very important to follow following rules:

1. The strands must be tightly stretched, otherwise they will not be cut.
2. The loom is placed parallel to the stretched hair, the sharp edge is directed downward.
3. As the blade approaches the cut, the tilt increases.
4. To add volume, 3-5 additional cuts are made.
5. With ordinary thinning, 2-3 cuts are made.

Important! If you do not follow these rules, the result is unpredictable.

When is hair thinning necessary and who is suitable for thinning

If it was decided to change the appearance of the hairstyle in the hairdresser, then the master will certainly recommend hair thinning. Almost every hairdresser has photos before and after previous work, so you can make sure in advance of the experience and qualifications of the master. He will also give good advice in choosing a new look.

Despite this, you need to know who is suitable for milling, and who should look for something else:

• Such a hairstyle will go chubby, because it will be able to hide chubby cheeks and many other shortcomings. Long, slightly profiled bangs will visually lengthen the face and correct its shape.
• For a triangular face, strong hair thinning is ideal.
• Thinning is suitable for short haircuts and will add completeness and playfulness to the image.
• For extended curls, a new look will give your hair a natural look and shape.

Basic rules for thinning long hair

In order for the hairstyle to look voluminous, and the hair lay down correctly, you must adhere to following rules:

• Thinning should be done only after cutting and when the hair is dry. When stretching from the roots to the bottom, an increase in volume will turn out, and from the ends to the roots, the hair will be slicked.
• During filing, the length of the curl is divided into 3 equal parts. For complete thinning from the root, leave 1/3 of the curl and do the procedure, for partial - leave 2/3 of the length.

• To evenly place the strands after cutting, the master must perform the procedure in the same rhythm of opening and closing the scissors;
• The master must have a sense of proportion;
• Before you go and profile your hair, you need to look at the photos showing people before and after thinning.

Short hair thinning rules

Thinning overly short hair is not recommended. The result may not be predictable (it all depends on the type of hair): either the curls will be slicked down, or they will rise, forming a man's hedgehog haircut. To ensure the correct arrangement of the strands, you need to fillet the whiskey and crown.

Thinning technique along the entire hair length

A haircut made with this technique will make styling faster and easier, as well as give lightness and ease. An experienced master will be able to correct the shape of the face without any problems if he does the thinning correctly.

Long hair can be filleted using several techniques: the fly method, tourniquet and sliding cut. Thanks to the tourniquet method, the hair will gain additional volume from the roots to the ends. You just need to twist the strands in the form of ropes and cut them along the entire length.

A sliding cut is used on slightly damp hair with thinning scissors from root to bottom.

The scissors should be parallel to the hair and not pressed to the end. Make a cut at a distance of 1-1.5 cm. Masters also use simple or thinning razors. Hair is trimmed to fit in 5-7 strokes. The razor is placed parallel to the hair.

The mush technique is used to thin individual strands along the entire length. For correct execution, you need to take scissors without notches and a wide comb. In vertical partings, wide curls are selected and placed between slightly open scissors, the ends of which look down. Scissors make a semicircle during operation - from top to bottom.

Root milling

Root thinning is done across the strands. First of all, they perform actions near the roots, then in the middle and again at the roots. Such a haircut will look impressive and magnificent.

For the procedure, thinning scissors are used, and in the case of straight hair, a straight razor. Although the approach of the master is individual, everything will depend on the type and structure of the hair. If a hairdresser is a professional in his field, then he can use ordinary scissors. This technique takes a lot of effort and training.

Thinning the ends

Tip filing is divided into 3 types:

• Horizontal: the curl is fixed between the middle and forefinger, with scissors cut off perpendicularly a part of the hair (0.5 cm). The haircut turns out to be lush and stylish.
• Vertical: the curl is fixed in the same way as horizontally, only perpendicular slides downward are made with scissors. The filing scissors cannot be completely closed; you only need to cut off a part of the hair. A hairstyle made using this technique turns out to be round.
• "Teeth": the ends of the curls are pulled out, and then cut at an angle of 45? at a height of 0.5 cm.

Thinning bangs

Bangs require proper care: regular trimming, styling, etc. Styling curls that are thinned is easier and faster. Filtered bangs are not suitable for every girl.

Those who have:

• curly hair (they will stick out in all directions);
• hair is dyed red;
• fine hairs.

A milled bang is suitable for owners of a triangular face type. Before starting the procedure, you should wash and dry your hair. Thinning should not be carried out on wet strands, because then the bangs will be much shorter than necessary.

To profile your bangs you need:

• select the forehead curl from the main hair, all that remains to be pinned with a hairpin;
• using an iron to level it and slightly moisten the ends;
• divide the bangs into 3 identical strands;
• start a haircut with a medium curl;
• before starting trimming, the strands must be twisted into bundles and cuts along the entire length with scissors.

Features of thinning hair

In general, masters do not recommend thinning hair. Such a procedure will not give the hair the desired splendor, but, on the contrary, will make it sparse and give the hair a weak look.

If it was decided to do the procedure, then thinning should be light, slightly noticeable. A good option would be to process the upper curls, and make a straight cut on the sides and bottom.

Despite the successfully completed thinning, the volume will need to be created manually using a comb, hairdryer or iron.

Features of thinning thick hair

On thick hair, you can do deep and thorough thinning. It will help to distribute the volume correctly and make the hair lighter.

For thick hair, root thinning is suitable. It will reduce the volume and give the impression of individual, elegant curls. Pieces of hair are trimmed along the entire length from the root, diagonally 3-4 mm wide.The distance of each step is approximately 1-2 cm.

They also resort to this technique for correcting the shape of the face. To achieve the goal, you need to use any of the following methods: plunge, sliding cut, fly.

Features of thinning curly hair

Thinning is a great solution for those with wavy hair. The procedure will make them flexible and docile.

For thinning curly hair, hairdressers never use thinning scissors. Basically, they are milled with straight scissors, and pointing is considered the ideal technique. The shape of the haircut does not matter, it all depends on the client's wishes. The stylist can only express his opinion on how this or that shape will look depending on the shape of the head, figure, etc.

Thinning will negatively affect the health of the hair - the ends suffer greatly.

Thinning technique with scissors

It takes a lot of experience to thin out curls with ordinary scissors. The curl is pulled at a slight angle, the open scissors are placed perpendicular to the hair growth. Immediately perform 2 operations: lightly connect the ends of the scissors, sharply move them to the ends of the hair.

The method requires accuracy and care, otherwise you can cut off more than necessary or a whole strand.

Thinning methods with straight scissors:

• Serrated cut. The scissors are at a slight angle to the hair. The result is a triangle with several lines. Thinning is done during the haircut.
• Plucking. Scissors are perpendicular to the curl and cut small strands at the same distance. In this way, you can thin your hair both during the haircut and after it.
• Sliding cut. The scissors should be open and placed in the middle of the hair bun, going down in small cuts to the bottom. The hand must firmly grip the instrument in order to avoid unwanted consequences. Mill after haircut
• Sliding slice with thinning. The result is a trip to thinning with a razor. The scissors are slightly open and slide down the hair. The tool is placed parallel to the curl. This technique is used after a haircut.

Thinning with thinning scissors

Filler scissors are used for shading and thinning the volume. They are single or double-sided. In the first, the teeth are placed only on one edge, respectively, in double-sided ones - on both blades.

When using such tools, the hair that falls on the teeth is cut off, and all other hairs are intact.

Filleting is done on dry, clean hair. To create volume on the bangs or crown of the head, the master selects vertical curls and mills from bottom to top. Thus, the short lower hairs will raise the upper ones. To create a fluffy haircut with a delicate look, use the "sawtooth" method. The hairdresser cuts the hair by 2-3 cm from the roots.

Using the sliding cut technique (scissors cut the hair from the middle to the ends), the hairstyle is done in different lengths. Ultimately, the visibility of volume is obtained.

• "Plucking" - cut strands at the same length and distance, scissors "work" perpendicularly. So you can refresh the look of the hairstyle, add lightness to the image. The ends can be milled in the vertical and horizontal position of the scissors.

• Horizontally: the hair is straightened and cut across to about 5 mm. Vertically: the strands are placed at an angle of 30 ° and trimmed with the canvas to the bottom. To thin out the hair roots, you need to straighten and peel small strands across: first of all - at the very roots (5-10 mm), in the middle and at the ends.

When working with thinning scissors, it is necessary to pay attention to the type of hair, for example, it is undesirable to thin hard hair - it will stick out in all directions, and thick and soft hair should be thinned deeper, then the hairstyle will be much more magnificent. Thinning hair with a razor must be done on damp hair.

Pointing

The point method is used in almost all haircuts, and filing is no exception.The main purpose of poiting is to give the ends of the hair a serrated shape. The length of the hair is cut and trimmed in one motion. The finished haircut looks like a fringe, it becomes more magnificent, and the image is softer.

Important - Poiting is done on clean and dry hair.

The technique is simple: you need to raise the strand at a slight angle, leaving any length of hair. It is better to cut a cut to a depth of 1 cm. Deep ponting is recommended for thick or coarse hair.

The cut is made with the tip of scissors, which are placed at any angle to the growth line. The sharper you make it, the less noticeable filing will be.

Point slice pointcut

It is often used to give geometric shapes to hairstyles. This is a haircut and thinning at the same time. The initial result of this technique is the textured edges of the curls. Hair should be trimmed with scissors, which are perpendicular to the strands. The depth of the cuts is not more than 2-3 mm.

The disadvantages include a long procedure.

Picketage

Suitable for short haircuts, gives the ends of the hair the right position. To perform the technique, the hair is cut over the comb. Curls are combed against growth.

Those that peek out from the teeth of the comb are cut with the tips of the tool at an angle of 50 °.

Cut method

It is used to add fluffiness to the hair. The tips fit naturally and easily after the procedure.

Curls of different lengths are cut off. The scissors are placed perpendicularly.

Sliding cut

Hair cut using the slicing technique acquires a beautiful, elegant look, becomes obedient. In the process of cutting with a cut, an oval is formed from the hair along the contour of the face. It is used to combine zones, achieve volume and correct texture of the strands.

The technique is suitable for filing bangs. Sharp regular scissors are used. Before the procedure, the hair is slightly moisturized. Pull a small strand with your left hand. Moving from the top down, cut small sections of the strand with scissors. For short hair, the scissors should touch the head.

Thanks to the technique, you can make a ragged or smooth cut.

Mush technique

This technique is used both for texturing individual strands and for a full haircut. A characteristic feature of the method is that after the manipulations, the hair itself is divided into curls, the ends of which are slightly tucked up.

The scissors are taken without notches. It is advisable to comb the hair and divide it with vertical parting into strands. Each of them is placed between the blades of scissors, the edges of which move downward. A sliding cut is made from top to bottom in a semicircle.

Method selection by face type

It is important to choose hair thinning based not only on their length and structure, but also depending on the shape of the young lady's face. If you do everything right and choose the appropriate option, then you can adjust the proportions of the lady's face and even divert attention from many of the shortcomings, if any.

Let's take a closer look at what types of thinning should be chosen, relying on the direct type of the woman's face.

Round. If such a face shape takes place, then it is advisable to refer to the thinning of the strand near the face itself. Visually, this solution will make it narrower. You can't do without thinning out such an important detail of the hairstyle as bangs. It is she who will be able to give the haircut a lighter and more playful look that suits many ladies.

A short hairstyle with treated hair in the crown area will look no less impressive and attractive on girls with a round face.

• Rectangular or square. Ladies with rough facial features are strongly advised not to resort to clear and too expressive angles in their haircuts. The hairstyle should be as light as possible, preferably asymmetrical.The ends here will always need to be milled. In addition, the recommended here is an ultra-fashionable bangs laid on one side, which will also need to be thinned.

• Triangular. A face of this shape is characterized by the fact that it has a wide forehead and a narrow chin. Ladies with such a face, stylists and experienced hairdressers are advised to turn to fashionable torn hairstyles that have gone through thinning. It is also better to make bangs ragged. However, it is advisable to do the stepping from the middle of the face in order to achieve a good visual effect. It is permissible to add extra volume to the crown.

Do not neglect such a criterion as the shape of the face when choosing the appropriate thinning method. Only if you take into account all the necessary factors, you can achieve an impeccable result.

Required tools

Hair thinning must be carried out using a number of special tools, without which this procedure may be simply inaccessible. You can't do without such details as:

• thinning scissors;
• thinning blade;
• simple scissors.

Thinning scissors are very similar to simple models, however, on one side, the blade is equipped with a comb made of metal with non-sharp teeth. The latter have small notches, thanks to which the hair is cut.

As for the special thinning blade, it usually has a plastic coating that prevents it from jumping off and protects the master from accidental injury during the procedure.
