There are three methods of cutting hair. They are scissor cutting, clipper cutting and razor cutting. We will concentrate on scissor cutting and clipper cutting since shaving is a more advanced technique which requires an extensive amount of practice time, and also requires much more finger strength. However, the razor can be great to add texture. Whatever technique you pick, it'll require a particular tool set. Some tools you may use are a cape, spray bottle, 7 inch and rat-tail combs, butterfly or similar type 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 prior to time and find out if they sell products to the general population as a large portion of the beauty stores are actually distributors for licensed professionals only.

When selecting a cape you'll find several types of capes to pick from. There are hair cutting capes and capes that color or chemical service and multi-purpose capes. I recommend trying to find one that is light in weight and not overly bulky. For instance, color or chemical capes are constructed of a thick plastic to ensure clients' clothes don't be stained by color or get saturated with perm solutions. I have found these capes too heavy to use for cutting hair and I prefer a cape that is lightweight and constructed of cloth. If you're trying to reduce costs, you could use the garbage bag that has been torn however, you should not use this method with a small child because of the danger of the possibility of suffocation. I'd recommend against using a towel since it is really hard to wrap around the person without the bulk blocking the way.

The most commonly used comb for cutting hair is the 7 inch styling comb. It's a fantastic tool due to a number of reasons. First of all, the spacing is different between the two sides of the comb. One side has teeth spaced very close to each other, while the other has teeth that are spaced a little further apart. This gives different levels of tension. When teeth are spaced more closely, you can comb the hair with much more tension. This can help create precisely-cut lines for cutting. If the teeth are placed further apart, it allows you to work with larger amounts of hair. The comb is also marked on every inch, making it simple to decide the length of hair you need to cut or the amount of hair you want 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 making it great to stretch small pieces 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 ensure that it will hold a significant amount of hair since they will be utilized to clip large chunks of hair away from view.

Hair cutting scissors are a must. You can't get an excellent haircut without them. luxury hair clips Really sharp craft scissors are not the best choice. In the same way that you wouldn't use craft scissors in order to trim hair don't make use of your hair cutting scissors for cutting anything other than hair. Hair cutting scissors come in various shapes and functionality. There is no need to be super fancy when choosing a pair. I'd suggest the scissors to be at a minimum that is 5 1/4 inches and maximum 5 3/4 inches long.
