BECOME A HAIRCUTTER, Unit 1, Solid Shape horizontal

BECOME A HAIRCUTTER UNIT 1 00.05 welcome to unit 1, solid form horizontal 00.27 Here you can see the arrangement of the hair lengths. The shortest hairs are in the contour, the longest hairs are on the top of the head. Note that the hair in the neck contour is slightly shorter and the top hair is slightly rounded. 00.45 Start with a cross parting. First do a middle parting, called A-axis, then another parting from ear to ear, this is called B-axis. 01.20 Before you pin the hair, section off a 2 cm wide section along the hairline. Make sure it is parallel to the contour. Do the same with all 4 quadrants. 03.40 Here you can see the sectioning scheme and the combing direction in advance. The compartments are horizontal, the combing direction in the natural fall. 03.55 Start the haircut at the front contour. Comb the hair in the natural fall, positioning your fingers horizontally without lifting the hair. Work from the front contour to the center of the neck. Then proceed in the same way on the opposite side. 05.30 Check the exact course of your line before continuing. 05.42 Here you can see the increase in length of the top. This is called negative solid shape. 05.52 Now tilt the head slightly forward and continue working. Comb the hair in the natural fall, fix it with the comb and cut with the scissors under the comb. This way you avoid tension on the hair and shortening the length when drying. 06.22 Continue working with horizontal sections. 10.13 Work the negative solid shape to the level of the middle of the ear. Then position the head upright again, continue to divide horizontally, comb the hair in the natural fall, grab it again with the fingers and cut until your divisions reach the lower vertebrae area. 11.30 While you have worked both sides in parallel in the neck section, change your approach as soon as you can pull your horizontal sections through to the front contour line. Then work one side first, then the other. 14.46 Comb the hair on the front of the head in the direction of the sides. This procedure is called combing in the styling direction. Now complete the entire head with the working method shown. 22.00 Now the only thing missing is the slight rounding of the lengths on the top. This technique is called positive solid shape. 22.10 To do this, divide in a star-shap, starting from the highest point of the head. Comb the hair horizontally and position your fingers vertically. Make sure that you remove only the outermost ends of the hair, otherwise your solid shape will be lost. 25.07 When you reach the ears, change your star-shaped parting pattern to a vertical one. Combing direction and finger position remain the same. 27.20 Here you see the finished result.
