Haircut Technology Basics
Making a haircut with a machine is, in fact, not difficult, it will take only a little time for training.
The basic rules for such a procedure:
- too long hair should be pre-moistened and cut with scissors;
- the clipper is carried out only on dry hair, so after working with scissors they should be dried;
- instrument movements should always be directed from the bottom up;
- After cutting, the machine should be cleaned.
To make the hairstyle look neat, do not rush. It is necessary to carefully process all parts of the head, avoiding the remnants of unshaved hairs.
Proper use of nozzles
You should always start the haircut with the machine from the frontal part of the head and finish the procedure in the temple area. The Philips comb clipper attachment must first be set to the maximum length when working with the adjustable model. If the nozzles in the machine kit are different, then you should set the largest for cutting the frontal part. Movements should be directed from the forehead to the center of the head in a wave-like fashion, processing all sides in turn.
After the stage is completed, it is necessary to comb the hair and remove the excess length of hair in the crown of the head. After that, it is necessary to adjust the nozzle or rearrange a new one, 1.5-2 times less than previously used. She should treat the occipital part of the head. For convenience, you need to ask the man to lean forward. All movements are directed only from the bottom up.
The areas around the ears and temples have a peculiarity - the hair on them grows unevenly. That is why the nozzles for the Philips hair clipper when processing these parts of the head should be changed individually.
It is very important in the process to periodically comb your hair and bend your ears with your hands to see the whole course of work. In conclusion, you need to smooth out the possible irregularities in the transition length of the smallest nozzle.
With proper experience working with standard nozzles, you can safely try new experiments at the professional level.
