Giving Your Man a Haircut
February 25, 2009
To look and feel your best, a good haircut is essential. A proper haircut can flatter the face, bring focus to the eyes, and minimize flaws. Most importantly, a haircut is a reflection of one’s personality. And as such, the better the cut, the more confident you feel.
And that is as true for men as it is for women. Giving a man a haircut is actually easier than styling a woman’s hair, if for no other reason than the hair is much shorter. However, it’s important to get that shorter hair even, so read on for some tips to give a guy a great cut.
Preparation
You will need: a sharp pair of scissors, a set of hair clippers, and a cape to keep hair from his clothes. When choosing clippers, make sure that it has combs of different lengths for different lengths of hair.
Choose a spot that is easy to clean. A bathroom or kitchen is ideal, since it’s easy to sweep the hair from a tiled floor. Have your “client” sit on a chair and cover his neck and shoulders with a cape. Make sure it’s close to his neck, to prevent hair getting into his clothes.
Select the proper length guide comb for the clippers by running the combs through the hair and choosing the proper length. Attach that comb to the clippers.
Start Cutting
Start cutting the hair by clipping the hair at the back of the neck. Make sure the pressure on the clippers is steady to ensure an even cut. Stop periodically to clear the hair from the clippers and comb through the hair. This prevents the clippers from clogging, and you can check your progress.
Trim Around the Ears
When you get to the ears, remove the guide comb from the clippers. If you don’t have a special comb, you can trim around the eyes by holding the clippers at an angle. Take it slow, and try to use only a few teeth. Follow the natural curve of the ear.
Trim the Hairline
Again, without the guide comb, or with a special trimming attachment, trim along the natural hairline. Try for a nice, straight line. Then trim the back of the neck closely.
Finish Up
To finish the cut, comb the hair, and use your trimming scissors to cut any stray hairs. This is the time to shape the front of the hair stylishly.
Then shake the hair from the cape, clean the clippers, sweep the floor, and enjoy the compliments!
