Become a Haircutter - Unit 7 - 10

Become a Haircutter - Unit 7 - 10

In these workshop you will learn all the theoretical basics to understand haircutting starting from the beginning. We explain to you the way we teach and how to use our training courses correctly. We will also introduce you to the 4 basic shapes that will help you recognize length arrangements and better understand workflows. To perform a haircut correctly you need a structured workflow: division, head position, section, combing direction, combing angle, finger position and cutting line. You will learn everything important on these workshop.

For optimal learning success, you will need a tripod as well as two training heads (Unit 1-10), then more training heads. Before you start cutting, watch each haircut once completely and pay attention to all details. Only then should you begin with the finishing work. Then work step-by-step! The easiest way is to get a holder for your smartphone so that you can attach it to the head stand.

Unit 7: Increased Layers - Reverse Layering - training head 2

Now we come to a completely new chapter: Layedrs! Divide the head in the cross parting pattern, in the nape area divide again horizontally. Start this cut in the neck area and cut a convex solid shape. At the sides, the curvature may not even increase a little further. Then set the step over it from front to back until no more hairs reach the cut line. Cut with 45° diagonal sections, right-angled combing direction and parallel finger position.

Unit 8: Increased Layers - Reverse Layering asymmetrical - training head 2

We now perform reverse layering asymmetrically. First cut a horizontal contour line and then set a side parting as in Unit 4. The divisions towards the bigger side are again made at a 45° angle to the division, combing direction remains right-angled and the lift-off angle also 45°. Towards the smaller side you have to make the sections much steeper, otherwise the layers will be too strong. Then comb the hair forward parallel to the side parting and position the fingers parallel to the steep section. At the bottom of the section, overlay the hair to above the tip of the nose.

Unit 9: Increased Layers - Reverse Layering horizontal - training head 2

If you have also successfully completed Unit 8, we now come to the last variant of the reverse layering. Here, you also create a horizontal contour line or adopt it from the previous Unit 8. Part a middle parting and start with concave sections starting from the middle parting. Always work one side first, then the other. Comb the hair straight forward to the stationary section line, positioning your fingers at a 45° combing angle to the head rounding. The hair on the sides you had to pull steeply upwards, so that you get an increase in length. At the end, round off the fullness in the back of the head a little more, so that this area falls more easily.

Unit 10: Uniform Layers - training head 1

Uniform layering is almost always used only in parts of the head. In this case, we work the inner area uniformly, and the outer graduated. This creates an attractive shape, as we often use today. Work the uniform layers in a pivotal pattern and make sure that the combing direction is perpendicular along the rounding of the head and that the combing angle is 90°. Ideally, you could even keep the fingers slightly rounded. The neck and side sections are then divided vertically.
