Sometimes life forces us to reduce the number of visits to the hairdresser a bit, and sometimes we voluntarily give it up ourselves. But then another dilemma arises - how to shorten the hair, especially if we are talking about male hair, which will not be enough to just cut the ends of the hair. True, with a little knowledge, even that is possible.
To make a male haircut at home, we will need a smooth, straight comb, a water dispenser to keep our hair moist (but not wet!) To make it easier to manage and, of course, a hair clipper. True, many think that professional haircuts are needed to cut themselves. However, this is false. For home conditions, you can easily choose a simple but high-quality hair clipper just online. The market is full of various high-quality and famous hair clippers that will suit your "home beauty salon".
So, first moisten the hair with a water dispenser and separate the upper area of hair, which we will cut last. With the help of combs, we highlight the line between the sides of the head and the top of the head. Then we choose a higher cutting number for the clipper. Most hair clippers have several options for cutting length settings, so it’s always a good idea to start with almost the top.
Start by cutting the sides of the selected larger haircut numbers. When cutting the machine, we try not to run it parallel to the shape of the head, but rather straighten it up or bend it towards ourselves. In this way, the top of the side edges of the head remains longer, but this is necessary to obtain a transition from the sides to the head. When we bend the machine towards ourselves or upwards, we trim the whole head from all sides. We do not forget to constantly moisten our hair, but do not overdo it, because wet hair cannot be cut with a trimmer!
Once the sides are shortened, we take a slightly lower number of the clipper and do the same action as before, only leaving the top even more intact so that only the lowest part of the hair is shortened with the clipper. After this action, we move on to the head. It is already recommended to cut the hair here with scissors, and it would be even better if it were specially designed hair scissors. With their help, holding the strands of hair between two fingers, we shorten the hair to the desired length.
Finally, the entire male haircut is completed by "edging", which is done without any numbering, removing all the extra details from the hair clipper. In this way, all the edges, haircuts around the ears, incisors and neck are aligned. And if you still have a razor on hand, you can use it to remove the smallest and thinnest hairs that can occur in the neck area, around the cheekbones and in the sideburns area.
Well, before trying to make a male haircut with a typewriter at home, the most important thing to remember is two basic rules. Remember that moisturized hair looks longer than it actually is. Therefore, when shortening wet hair, always keep in mind that the hair will become even shorter when it dries. And even if you want to significantly shorten your hair, don’t cut the entire length of your hair at once! Cut a few inches. This will make sure what length is best for you. If you make a mistake, you will still have a chance to correct the mistakes.
