There are three methods for cutting hair. There are scissor-cutting, clipper cutting and razor cutting. We will focus on scissor cutting and clipper cutting because the razor is more advanced technique which requires an extensive amount of practice time, and also requires significantly more strength for the fingers. However, the razor can be great for adding texture. Whatever method you select, it'll require a particular tool set. The tools you could employ include a cape spray bottle, 7 inches and Rat-tail combs, butterfly or similar type hair clips, hair cutting scissors, clippers and trimmers, clipper guards and thinning shears. You should be able to get all of these supplies at a beauty store near your home. It is important to call prior to time and discover if they offer products for sale to the general public since a majority of beauty supply stores are actually distributors for professional licenses only.

If you decide to purchase a cape, you'll notice that there are numerous types available. You will see capes for cutting hair as well as capes for chemical or color service, multipurpose capes etc. I would suggest looking for one that is lightweight and not too large. For instance, color and chemical capes are constructed of a thick plastic to ensure clients' clothes don't get stained with color or get saturated with perm solution. I have found these capes to be heavy to use for cutting hair therefore I would prefer a cape that is lightweight and constructed of cloth. If you're looking to reduce costs, you can make use of the garbage bag that has been torn but please don't use this method on a tiny child due to the risk of the possibility of suffocation. I would avoid using a towel because it is really hard to wrap around a person without the bulk blocking the way.

The most common comb used to cut hair is the 7 inch styling comb. It's an excellent tool for a variety of reasons. For one, the spacing is different between the two sides of the comb. On one side, teeth are placed very close to each other, while the other has teeth that are spaced more spaced. This creates different levels of tension. When teeth are spaced more closely, you can comb the hair with much more tension. This can create precisely-cut lines for cutting. When the teeth are spaced farther apart, it permits you to work with larger amounts of hair. This comb has markings on every inch, making it easy for you to determine the amount of hair you want to cut or how much hair you should be left on your head following cutting.

Another comb I like to employ is the rat-tail the comb. This comb is great to precisely segment hair because of its pointy end. The spacing of the teeth is very close making it great to stretch small pieces of hair in order to cut precisely defined lines.

In selecting clips, there's no need to choose carefully. The primary consideration when selecting clips is to ensure they can hold a large amount of hair because it is used to clip large pieces of hair to keep them out of the Hair claws way.

Hair cutting scissors are an absolute must. You can't get an excellent haircut without these scissors. Really sharp craft scissors are not the best choice. Additionally, as you wouldn't use scissors for crafting to cut hair, you shouldn't use the hair cutting scissors to cut anything else than hair. Hair cutting scissors come in a variety of styles and features. It is not necessary to be really fancy when selecting the right pair. I would recommend the scissors have a length five 1/4 inch to 5 3/4 inches long.
