If you’re a hairstylist or just looking to give yourself or someone else a fresh new look, a short haircut can be a great option. Short haircuts can be low maintenance, trendy, and can accentuate facial features. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do a short haircut on a woman.
- Consultation
The first step is to have a consultation with your client to determine the desired length, style, and shape of the haircut. It’s important to consider their hair texture, face shape, and personal style.
- Section the hair
Next, section the hair into four sections – the crown, the sides, and the back. Clip each section separately to make it easier to work with.
- Cut the back
Starting with the back section, use scissors or clippers to cut the hair to the desired length. Work in small sections, starting from the nape of the neck and moving upward. Use a comb to hold the hair out from the head and cut along the comb to ensure even length.
- Cut the sides
Next, move on to the side sections. Use the back section as a guide to determine the length, and use a comb to hold the hair out from the head while cutting. For a more textured look, use point-cutting techniques to remove some of the bulk and add movement to the hair.
- Cut the crown
Finally, move on to the crown section. Use the previous sections as a guide for the length and cut the hair in small sections to ensure evenness. For added texture and movement, use point-cutting techniques.
- Style the hair
Once the haircut is complete, style the hair using a blow dryer, styling products, and/or styling tools. Use a round brush to create volume and movement, or use a flat iron to create a sleek, smooth look.
- Finishing touches
Finish the haircut by trimming any stray hairs and making sure the hair is even and balanced on both sides. Double check that the length and shape are consistent with the initial consultation.
In conclusion, cutting short hair on a woman requires careful consultation, sectioning, cutting, and styling. By taking the time to understand the client’s desired style and face shape, sectioning the hair into manageable sections, cutting each section to the desired length and shape, and finishing with styling and trimming, you can create a beautiful and flattering short haircut that will leave your client feeling confident and stylish.
