Overview of options
There are several popular types of stylish men's haircuts that can be quickly and easily done with a typewriter at home. They are fashionable, sporty, with a parting, as well as with or without long bangs. Using the machine, everyone will be able to create haircuts of very different lengths - 1, 3, 6, 9, 10 or even 12 mm. All of them have their own distinctive features, you need to know about them before starting work.
Universal
The lightest men's hairstyle is versatile. It is carried out without replacing the nozzles during operation. It is optimal for those who are still mastering the art of haircuts at home, since even a person who first picks up a typewriter can cope with the work.
First, you need to discuss with the man what length of hair he plans to leave, and then choose the appropriate attachment.
Then you can proceed directly to the haircut. It is better to start working from the occipital region, leading the device against the direction of hair growth. In a similar way, they begin to shorten the strands in the parietal part.
As a result of all the manipulations, all the hairs are the same length. Such a haircut takes no more than 20 minutes.
Boxing and semi-boxing
These are the most common men's haircuts. They are ideally combined with a brutal men's bow and look appropriate anywhere - both in office conditions and at a youth party. For the design of these haircuts, the thickness of the hair, as well as their density, does not matter at all. You can build them on any head of hair. Nevertheless, boxing and semi-boxing looks harmonious only on those men who can boast of a perfectly even skull shape. Only in this case, haircuts will be able to emphasize the dignity of appearance.
To design such haircuts, you need to follow simple guidelines.
- First, with scissors, you need to mark the line between elongated and short strands.Hair that grows below this line should be removed with a machine, while the temporal parts and the back of the head should be kept as short as possible.
- Next, you should proceed to work on the crown zone. Hair is cut in separate strands, pinching them between the fingers.
- Then it only remains to profile them with a razor or special scissors. If separately protruding hairs remain at the bottom of the head, they can be carefully removed with scissors.
Hedgehog
A distinctive feature of such a haircut is the protruding hair at the crown. It is optimal for people with naturally coarse hair. In order for the hairstyle to be aesthetic and not to make an untidy impression, you should adhere to some rules.
Hair from the temples and occipital lobe is removed using the shortest nozzle of 1 mm. It is best to arrange several passes in stripes, going from one to the other.
At the top of the head, you need to make the most gentle transition between long and short strands, for this you need to slightly move the nozzle away from the head. It is better to shorten the crown with scissors, leaving the length of the hairs about 4 mm.
Under zero
This manly haircut was once very popular. In the past, it involved completely shaving off the hairs from the head. Today, it is more often performed with a machine with a minimum nozzle.
Such a haircut gives the representatives of the stronger sex a rather harsh look and even a slight criminal touch. This does not make a favorable impression on everyone. Nevertheless, many athletes, lovers of a sports lifestyle and hygiene procedures highly value it for its ease of execution and practicality. This image is optimal for those with a regular head shape, with a high forehead, a smoothly rounded back of the head and a strong neck.
You need to work with a unit as carefully as possible, smoothly moving from one area to another until you get the desired result. No other barber tools are required to create such a bow.
Execution tools
The main haircut tool is, of course, the clipper. But in order to build your favorite hairstyle at home, you need to acquire special tools and devices.
- Scissors. Stationery scissors are not suitable for creating a haircut, so it is better to purchase specialized hairdressing salons. They must certainly be well sharpened, it is easy to make sure of this - you need to cut the cotton wool. If the tool is dull, then such an operation will not work.
- Hairbrush with handle. The teeth should be small and frequent. You should not use a tool with teeth arranged in several rows, since it is extremely inconvenient to use them during a haircut. It is also worth abandoning the wood scallop, it is too thick and this can seriously complicate the work.
- Cape. When cutting, it is necessary to cover the shoulders with a cloth so that the cut hairs do not fall on the skin and clothing. You can purchase a special tape with a cutout in the neck area, or use an old towel.
- Clamp. Used when performing creative haircuts, allows you to keep individual strands.
The speed of the work, as well as the result of the haircut, will largely depend on the characteristics of the selected machine. That is why, even in the store, when buying a device, you need to focus on important factors.
- Motor. It is better to give preference to rotary models, since such a machine will not vibrate during operation - this will make the procedure more comfortable.
- Nutrition. On sale are devices that operate from the mains or from a battery. The device of a non-professional group, in the event of a battery discharge, "chews" the hair, while the professional one just turns off.
- Nozzles. If you prefer model haircuts, you should give preference to clippers with a large number of attachments.In this case, you can make a wide variety of haircuts at home.
- Blade coating. Most often, cutting elements are coated with ceramics, as well as a chromium-nickel alloy or titanium. Professional barbers advise against using titanium, as it can provoke allergies, and in addition, it reduces the accuracy of the device.
- Sharpening the blades. In order for the appliance to cut quickly and easily, the blades should be sharpened from time to time. It is difficult to perform these manipulations yourself at home, so it is better to make a choice in favor of a tool with self-sharpening blades.
- Blade shape. It is of key importance when cutting. Professional hairdressers recommend purchasing models in which the cutting part looks like the letters X or W. According to reviews, they lift and grip hairs better. In appearance, this parameter is difficult to determine, so it is better to clarify it in the store.
- Dimensions. The device should be compact, lightweight and fit comfortably in the hand.
How to cut?
In conclusion, we offer several recommendations that allow inexperienced masters to perform simple haircuts quickly and efficiently.
When starting a haircut, you need to remember that the result obtained will entirely depend on the preliminary preparation. Before starting the manipulations, you must definitely wash your hair. If you skip the initial step, the oil from the hair will quickly transfer to the blades and this will dull them. You should not cut wet strands, it is better to dry them a little, otherwise the machine will slip and catch on the skin - this can cause irritation and even scratches.
If your hair is too long, you should first cut it with scissors. You need to thoroughly comb the strands, then grab the strand and carefully pull it perpendicular to the surface of the head. Hair must be held between the index and middle finger of the left hand if the user is right-handed. Accordingly, the left-hander should hold them in his right hand. In this way, you can control the length and efficiently cut the required sections.
They start the movement with the machine from the back of the head; in classic hairstyles, the hairs on the back of the head are left quite short.
During operation, the machine should move in small steps from bottom to top. All passes should be smooth, the border between short and elongated strands should not be too sharp.
When creating a men's haircut, you need to carefully outline the hairline. If it is too low, you should cut off any excess hairs.
Important. There is one subtlety - cutting hair with a machine on the neck is possible only for an adult. If you remove them from a boy, then by such actions you can stimulate the increased growth of stiff bristles in this area, which is highly undesirable.
