Hair Cutting Techniques with Clippers

Hair cutting techniques for men are so much simpler than the techniques used for women’s hair. A stylist will use a pair of clippers on men’s hair giving a precise cut. They use the clippers to work around the bottom of the hair, then the sides, and then finally the top. The stylist will run the clippers in the opposite direction of the way the hair grows. When stylists trim the hairs on men’s ears and necks, they use scissors for this.

Hair cutting techniques take practice to master. Men’s hair is straightforward but cutting women’s hair more complicated. Blunt cuts, for example, take time to master. You wouldn’t want t attempt a blunt cut without significant practice time. The crew cut however, is the easiest cut and the most popular cut for men. The crew cut requires little hair cutting skill and can be mastered by anyone with a good pair of clippers. The buzz cut, a very short cropped cut, is also impossible to make a mistake doing so its a popular cut for people who are learning hair cutting.

To practice hair cutting techniques, old dolls work well. You can find cheap old dolls at a boot sale and at will. The dolls won’t complain if they end up with chopped up hair and you’ll get the practice you need.
