Invigorating Haircut
Step by step guide on how to cut a short and soft invigorating haircut with basic uniform layer, pivoting sections and disconnection, from Stacey Broughton, myhairdressers.com
This basic layer demonstrates a simple method of working with over-direction on the outlines, combined with a flawless headhugging internal balance to produce a soft but invigorating haircut.
Before: Monica before the cut.
Step 1: Work from a centre section from the crown to the front hairline. Then work pivoting pie-sections from the crown all the way around the head.
Step 2: For accuracy, work sections on both sides of the head first, then work through to the back.
Step 3: Take the initial section from crown to front hairline and elevate it vertically, cutting a square line.
Step 4: As you reach the front of this section, leave out the hairline approximately 2cm wide. You will leave out the entire hairline as you work around the head.
Step 5: Continue working pivoting sections, using previous sections as a guide, for approximately three sections leaving out the hairline. Cut parallel to the head shape.
Step 6: Then repeat the process on the other side. By working in this manner, Stacey enables himself to work on proportion, balance and accuracy.
Step 7: Return to the first side and continue with this process to just behind the ear. Be careful to judge how much hair to leave out around the hairline near the ear, depending on hair quality.
Step 8: Then repeat this process on the second side.
Step 9: Next work from the same point in the crown, again pivoting the sections, cutting parallel to the head and leave out the hairline using your previous section as a guide.
At the bottom of each section, slightly elevate the hair to allow you to blend with the longer disconnected outline. Work these sections to the mastoid area.
