Читать книгу Haircutting For Dummies - Jeryl E. Spear - Страница 53

IN THIS CHAPTER

Surveying your head

Elevating your cut

Working all the angles

Getting acquainted with guides

To fully participate in this chapter, you need the following tools: scissors, cutting comb, tail comb (optional), clips and clamps, and a mannequin head (optional).

This chapter is filled with technical information. It’s the driest chapter in this book and the one you will refer back to the most. This chapter is also the most empowering chapter. Understanding the technical side of haircutting makes the results of every haircut predictable and reproduceable. You’ll know how, why, and where you should take each snip. Cool, right?

If you’re missing any of the tools listed, feel free to improvise. If you only have paper-cutting scissors, for instance, separating very thin cutting sections will get you by for this chapter. If you don’t have a mannequin head or a willing subject at hand, you can use your own head and hair.

Once the information and techniques included in this chapter have been mastered, I promise they will be second nature to you when cutting hair. Until then, referring back to this chapter while following cutting tutorials will do the trick!
