Any master knows that, having made even the most perfect hairstyle, it is necessary to make the final touch. That is, to make a hair edging.
With the help of edging, the master outlines the curls with a sharp line. It limits them throughout the hair growth, as well as in certain areas, which gives the hairstyle the final silhouette. However, it should be remembered that edging is done exclusively along the edge of hair growth. It is permissible to carry it out at the beginning of the haircut.
What do you need for work?
In the work, the master uses scissors, a razor or a typewriter. And to choose the type of edging, you need to take into account the shape of the client's hairstyle, the features of his face, neck. It is necessary to study the appearance of a person and take into account the structural features that he would like to emphasize. Or flaws that are better hidden. You also need to determine the natural direction and features of hair growth.
Features of using tools
To adjust the silhouette with scissors, comb your hair often. This will reveal untrimmed, missed hairs. They will need to be isolated from the common strands, since after a while they will appear against the general background of the hairstyle and make the appearance untidy, imperfect. Women's hair edging allows the use of scissors only, especially ifwe are talking about long curls.
In order to make edging with a typewriter, you need to have a special skill. This tool is very convenient, quick and easy to cut hair. But at the same time, it is possible to cause irreparable harm with one stroke, cutting off more or not where it is needed. Therefore, the hair must be combed at a right angle, only towards the edging line.
It is advisable to use a straight razor only if it is necessary to carry out edging in the neck area. Edging for men can be done not only with a razor, but also with other tools. This is due to the fact that the master has to cut, shave with a razor, and use a machine to create a spectacular image in a men's haircut.
Having found out all the details, the master must ask questions to the client, during which he will find out what exactly he wants to have at the end of the haircut. Based on this, he determines what kind of hair will be in which zone. For example, smooth or milled, long or, conversely, short, filled or lightweight, or maybe nullified.
Fringing on the neck. Species
Masters have developed several standard forms of hair edging for different areas of the head.
The edging on the neck is divided into several types:
- Straight. This type of hair edging is performed equally for men and women. Before starting the haircut, comb the hair back with a thin comb and divide it into strands. Then cut in a straight line. The main thing -cut the hair, starting from the middle, in different directions. This method helps to get the most accurate, straight cut line.
- Oval. The beginning of the edging is done in the same way. Next, instead of a straight line, an oval line is cut off. A short edging is done exclusively for women, and an elongated edging is for everyone.
- Arcuate. The master highlights the strands and combs them back, slightly down. The strands must be cut from the inside of the fingers. Fingers should be parallel to the hairline.
- Bracket. A similar edging of hair is male, and it is done exclusively for the stronger sex. Permissible length - up to the collar zone of the shirt. The edging is carried out by combing the hair back and cutting it in a straight line. Then they are combed forward, cutting them at an angle. The latter should be calculated based on the size of the client's neck. So, the wider the neck, the greater the angle. The resulting corners should be slightly cut off. To make the line thinner, it is necessary to shade the hair at a distance of 1 cm.
- Horseshoe. Allowed for everyone. To perform it, the master collects the hair in the center of the neck, cutting it to the desired length. If an elongated line is required, then the strands on the sides must be twisted with a bundle. And only then cut it off.
- Triangular. Offered to everyone. Any length is allowed. Hair is divided into 2 parts using a central vertical parting. Then you need to pull the strands from the central parting to the imaginary sides of the triangle and cut. The length of the edging depends on the angle of the fingers.
- Curly. Fitsfor all. This edging of short hair is made exclusively with scissors, cutting according to the pattern proposed by the client or the master. It is acceptable to leave the natural hairline.
Temple piping
Several haircuts are allowed. The main thing is to remember that both temples should be similar. This is due to the fact that the edging line connects the line of the temples and the back of the head, passing through the ears.
Usually, in classic hairstyles, a straight or angular contour of the temples is used. To add some elegance, make an elongated strand. And for rigor, a right-angle edging is suitable.
If you want to make more volume at the temples, then just thinning the strands. Decorative edging allowed.
Fringing bangs. How to do it right?
Before cutting, you should outline the length and width of the bangs, and it is also important to determine its thickness. Since it depends on where to start: from the middle of the head or closer to the edge. Usually bangs are created in the form of a rectangle. From it further form its various styles. The type of hair plays an important role. Let's say, for example, with sparse hair, it is best to make bangs even.
There are such forms as oblique, straight, curly, asymmetric and others. With any edging on the bangs, the strands should first be separated. The first, shaped and trimmed, will control the subsequent ones. As soon as the bangs are ready, they must be combed and checked very carefully. Allunevenness resulting from a haircut must be corrected by thinning.
Long hair
Equally important and difficult is the fringing of long hair. Its feature is that it starts before the main haircut. To do this, all the hair is gradually lifted up. The remaining strands are combed and cut to the desired length. The line must be exactly horizontal. The main thing is to remember that the first cut strand will be the control. Then gradually continue cutting.
All of the listed types of edging can only be done by a professional, but it is possible to cut your bangs yourself. Do not be afraid to ruin your haircut, as an unsuccessful attempt can be hidden under a ribbon or headband.
Advice from the masters
Here are some tips from the master:
1. Before you start cutting, you should separate the bangs from the rest of the mass of hair.
2. If we cut the classics, that is, the length to the eyebrows, then we simply comb the strands. Then we cut exactly a horizontal line.
3. If we want to get an elongated version, then we need to align the hairs from the inside. To do this, comb the strands in the middle and collect in a bun. Then cut to the desired length.
4. For asymmetrical bangs, we start the haircut with a side parting. We form a rectangle, after which we cut it along the oblique, from larger to smaller.
5. To make the bangs lie smoothly, you need to cut the lower hairs a little shorter. Then carry out thinning.
Conclusion
You should be very careful when edging your hair(photos are attached for clarity). Since it is not only a method of adjusting hairstyles, but also a silhouette line. It helps not only to eliminate the flaws of the master and his shortcomings, but also to give the hairstyle a finished look.
