"Beaver" is a haircut that is most suitable for people, both men and women, with coarse, thick hair. They are also called "torch". If you have soft, brittle, sparse or curly hair, it is better to find another hairstyle option for yourself. With the help of "beaver" you can correct the shape of the head or visually change its individual parts. A distinctive feature of the haircut is the so-called platform - a section of the head with a completely flat, horizontal surface, located from the forehead to the crown line.
Where does the name come from
The haircut got its name "beaver" because of the similarity of the hairstyle with the back of the animal of the same name, since there is little hair in the center of the head, and this part is quite noticeably translucent.
Beaver cutting technology
First of all, the hairdresser combs pre-wetted or washed hair along the path of theirnatural decline.
During the haircut, the hair should be in a strictly vertical position and be pulled back strongly. To do this, the specialist uses a fixative and dries them with a hairdryer.
If the length of the hair is more than five centimeters, it is necessary to cut it to a short state, because such a length cannot be fixed in a vertical position.
When all the preliminary work is done, the hairdresser cuts a kind of "furrow" on the head. If there is a desire that the head is not round, but slightly flattened, the nozzle needs to be walked along the sides. But at the same time, from the center of the head to the edges, the hair should turn into longer ones in order to get the effect of a visual change in shape.
Further from the center of the head to the edge of the nozzle, the hairdresser carries out the haircut itself. At this stage, the length of the hair is adjusted depending on the person and his taste preferences. But in general, the main idea is this: the "platform" is cut off from the beginning of hair growth to the forehead and disappears in the crown area. In the side parts, the hair is cut in a special way so that it is at a perfect right angle relative to the "platform".
To the face of thin people, a high "platform" is ideal, full, on the contrary, it is best to give preference to a low option.
Three basic tricks every hairdresser should know
The beaver haircut for men is done in three different ways.
The first one is used forcreating a platform. The hairdresser holds the scissors with the comb over the top of the head and smoothly moves them closer and closer to him, keeping the horizontal direction.
The second step is necessary when you need to cut the left side of the head. In one hand is a comb, in the other - scissors. The teeth of the first tool face the hairdresser, and the ends of the scissors look down.
The third technique is used to cut the right side. Its meaning is the same as in the first one, but mirrored: the free end of the comb looks down, and the tip of the scissors looks up.
How to recognize a true professional
There is a secret how to determine if you have turned to a real professional for a haircut. A person who confidently owns tools and knows his job, cutting the "platform", looks not at the client's head, but in the mirror. This happens for one simple reason: the master has filled his hand with a haircut, learned all three of the above techniques and works automatically, without thinking about the technique, but adjusting all the parameters for an individual person. In addition, a competent specialist will first start cutting the right side of the head and only then the left side.
"Beaver" is a haircut, which, of course, is performed according to certain rules. But even here it is necessary to take into account the physiological characteristics of a single person. For example, if the client has a convex skull, the haircut should start from the middle of the head, moving smoothly towards the front.
The main thing in a beaver haircut is a perfect horizontal surface. Exactlyto do this, at the end of the work, the master powders the hair with a special cosmetic product that will help reveal irregularities, and, if any, removes them.
After that, the hairdresser once again checks whether the haircut is even by tilting and turning the client's head. After making sure that the "beaver" (haircut) is done correctly, the stylist performs polishing, finishing his work.
Female haircut
It is a mistake to believe that a woman's haircut "beaver" has no right to exist. In general, according to history, short hairstyles came into fashion at a time when women began to defend equal rights with men, trying to look the way they themselves like, and not relying on fictitious standards and rules. Currently, the vast majority of women are not afraid to experiment and choose a haircut that is ideal for the features of their face. Even if you need to lose long hair - let it be. The only drawback of a beaver haircut is that you need to regularly, at least once every two months, visit a hairdresser who will trim the shape.
The female version of the "beaver" haircut is performed using the same technology as the male: three techniques are used to create a "platform", the left side and the right side. The only difference is that some girls want the hair in the middle of the head to be relatively long. But this does not change the idea of \u200b\u200bthe hairstyle.
Kare "beaver"
The beaver haircut is no less popular among the fair sex. To create this hairstyle, the master first removes the hair on the sides, and then the "platform" itself is formed. As a rule, the haircut is more voluminous and feminine than the usual "beaver".
