There are three ways of cutting hair. They are scissor cutting, clipper cutting, and razor cutting. We will concentrate on cutting with scissors and clipper cutting since shaving is a much more advanced method that demands a significantly more amount of practice time and it requires greater strength in the fingers. But, it can be useful to create the appearance of. No matter what method you choose it will require a certain collection of equipment. Some of the tools you can make use of are a cape, spray bottle, 7-inch and the rat-tail comb and similar types of butterfly hair clips and hair cutting scissors. clippers and trimmers clips, clipper guards, and thinning shears. You can purchase all of these items in a local beauty shop near you. Make sure to call ahead of time and find out if they sell products to the general public as a large portion of these stores are distributors of certified professionals only.
When selecting a cape you will notice there are several types of capes to pick from. You can find hair cutting caps, capes that color or chemical service and multipurpose capes. I suggest you find one that is light weight and not bulky. For instance, color or chemical capes are constructed of an extremely thick plastic that ensures the clients clothes don't be stained by color or get saturated with perm solutions. I've found these caps too heavy to use for cutting hair and I prefer a cape that's light weight and made of cloth. If you're looking to reduce cost you can use an old garbage bag, but please don't use this method on a tiny child due to the risk of being suffocated. I'd advise against using a towel because it's really difficult to wrap around a person without a lot of the weight obstructions.
The most common comb used to cut hair is the 7-inch styling comb. It is a great tool for a variety of reasons. For one, the spacing is different on both sides of the comb. On one side, teeth are placed really close together and the other side has teeth spaced slightly further apart. This creates different levels of tension. When the teeth are spaced closer, you can comb hair more tightly. This is great for creating very precise lines to cut. When the teeth are spaced further apart, it allows the user to cut greater quantities of hair. This comb has markings in every inch that make it easy Hair clips for you to determine how much hair to cut or how much hair to leave on the head after cutting.
Another comb I like to use is the rat-tail comb. This comb is great for precisely sectioning hair because of its pointy end. Also, the spacing of the teeth is close together so it works great for stretching small sections of hair to create precise lines.
When choosing clips, there's no need to pick and choose. The most important thing to consider when choosing clips is to make sure it will hold a significant amount of hair because they will be used to clip large pieces of hair out-of-the-way.
Hair cutting scissors are an absolute must. It is impossible to get an excellent haircut without them. A sharp pair of scissors for crafting won't do the job. In the same way that you wouldn't use craft scissors in order to trim hair don't make use of the hair cutting scissors for cutting anything but hair. Hair cutting scissors are available in a variety of styles and features. It is not necessary to be really fancy when selecting the right pair. I would recommend the scissors have a length five 1/4 inch up to 5 3/4 inches in length.
