main

shapes

shapes

are the building blocks of all

haircut

s Technically Knowing how to cut hair accurately It is important to know why and when to use round, square or triangular shapes It is even more important What are layers Layers of hair Removes weight Creates texture and movement while creating layered shapes It is an amazing technique to complete a full

haircut

or to combine with line or graduation

techniques

to form a haircut These techniques are used in both women's and men's haircuts and in both hair curly as straight let's start with the square shape when working on square we cut our layers 90 degrees directly from the head shape directing our sections to increase the weight where the head rounds the corners in square layers will neutralize the roundness in the facial features and reduce the Volume Square layers retain length at the crown and nape while reducing length in the occipital bone area Retaining length behind the ears while reducing weight in the center This shape can be cut vertically and horizontally Square shape is controlled by its 90 degree cutting line the square shape is also controlled by its square layout here are two examples of square layout here we simply direct each new section back to the previous one by moving our guide towards the corner of the haircut its layout is also controlled you can cut at the base until you reach the curve of the head when you reach the curve of the head this becomes your stationary guide for the remaining sections your cutting angle is 90 degrees away from the head shape this shape It is chosen to reduce roundness and volume helps achieve a flatter result Square layers are great for curly hair and create a more modern result, so when we work in a triangular shape you are in control of directing the length and weight , allowing our shape to work from short or overly long triangular layers.

They are perfect for maintaining length and weight around the face while pulling away from the back. The triangular shape is controlled by its shear line and its vertical elevation and over direction triangular horizontal distribution has a stationary guide where each subsequent section is over directed back to the stationary guide this creates a rapid increase in length and weight this is another example of triangular over direction triangular layers are perfect for maintaining length and weight around the face while pulling back from the back round layers are excellent for softening facial features creates maximum body and creates a cape shape that hugs the face head with no weight buildup and soft contours this shape can be used vertically and horizontally and is controlled by cutting line examples Using a round shape would be when you want to create shorter layers that support maximum body and follow the shape of the head both vertically and horizontally.

The round shape eliminates weight equally throughout the haircut, especially eliminating bulk around the curvature of the head. The round layout has a moving guide, each new section becomes the guide as we move around the head shape. Another option I prefer to use with the round layout is to use a moving guide. Each fundamental section is divided once it is cut and then brought to the new section and acts as the new one. Guide This ensures that our shape maintains the same length all the way around the horizontal shape Round layers can be a great option for your clients with thin and fine hair types When we work in the round we cut our layers with a uniform length and fall Uniform distribution, layers follow the shape of the head A round shape has no corners Round layers This shape is chosen to build shape and create maximum body

three

shapes, you can begin to perform advanced haircuts where you can start using multiple shapes in different areas of the head to create a personalized haircut kinetics are our movements or tools that we can use that determine the shape of the haircut we have five tools that we use when cutting hair are distribution of lift over the direction tension and body position lift controls the up and down movement of each cutting section when the hair is lifted 90 degrees from the circumference of the head, any lift below This point will increase weight, while any lift above will remove weight.

You can determine the elevation angles from the straight and curved surfaces of the head once they are at zero degrees. To the surface of the head angles of 45 and 90 degrees have been established. They can be determined in any direction. The elevation controls the weight of your cape or haircut. The higher it is raised, the more weight is removed and the lower it is raised, the less weight. It is eliminated by understanding the areas of the head and how the density and thickness changes moving from the crown to the frontal area, you will notice that the density reduces drastically from the crown to the apex and back to the frontal area with some haircuts, This will greatly influence our choice of section shape and whether we choose to cut, layer or use grading to even out density and shape, zoning hair helps us organize and map out our approach to cutting. hair, this process allows us to focus on one area at a time, which helps us when working with them. weaning working with clean sections helps maintain a precision haircut
