Thanks to this method of cutting your hair, you will not only be able to facilitate your self-care procedures, but you will also look great and organic in any look, attracting the attention of the opposite sex.

Haircut nuances

It is necessary to treat the haircut carefully. Before starting, the hairdresser should pay attention to the anatomical features of the structure of the client's head. By adjusting the length of the hair in different areas, you can visually negate some of the structural features of the head. The master should especially carefully examine the occipital part of the head.

If it is flattened, the hairdresser should leave the hair a few millimeters longer. This will visually round the head and make this feature invisible.

For a hedgehog haircut, coarser hair is better. The final length is no more than 4 cm. If longer, then they may not stick out. An exception will be a particularly hard hair.

It is necessary to cut it in vertical and horizontal parting, sequentially, strand by strand. Be sure to shade along the edges of the hair at the end of the haircut. This technique is used in the occipital and temporal regions.

As a result of a haircut, an experienced hairdresser should get a rounded hairstyle that follows the contours of the head. Experienced hairdressers give the final length of hair using the pinning method, i.e. produce hair thinning. The hairstyle after such treatment becomes more lush and looks like a velvety surface.

After cutting, you need to dry your hair with a hairdryer. Medium hold gel turns hair into needles like the Hedgehog a.

Barber tools and sequence of actions

Standard hairdressing tools are used for haircuts. Straight and thinning scissors, electric clipper.For the final shaping, a fine-pitch comb, hair dryer and fixing gel or mousse are used.

The sequence of actions of the wizard:

  1. Begin cutting on the fingers using regular straight scissors. Work from the top of the occipital zone, gradually moving towards the crown.
  2. After that, proceed to the temporal areas of the head. Depending on the client's preferences, you can finish the haircut at the crown or slightly lower, for example, 1-2 cm.
  3. After that, the hairdresser proceeds to treat the temporal and lower part of the occipital region. To do this, use a hair clipper.
  4. When cutting the parietal zone, the master must equalize the length of the hair with the crown region. Therefore, an experienced hairdresser leaves a small margin on the crown, gradually reducing the length to give it a rounded shape.
  5. The master achieves the final shaping of the volume using thinning scissors.

The Hedgehog haircut has become the hallmark of popular actors and musicians. Some of them periodically cut their hair short, but there is a category of famous personalities whom we recognize by their characteristic hairstyle.
