Styling a short haircut using the gradation technique:
- You need to choose a round brush according to the length of the haircut. For longer lengths, a larger brush is suitable, and for shorter ones, a small one.
- A haircut using the gradation technique has a characteristic length, that is, it is less flexible and cannot be emphasized by styling intended for texture. It is better to use a volume spray, styling spray or light oil.
- Using the gradation technique, a characteristic volume will appear in the crown area and the hair will be styled from the point of decay;
Styling a short haircut using the layering technique:
- If the haircut uses a layering technique, the shape will require emphasizing the texture, which means that in most cases a round brush may not be needed.
- The texture loves to be emphasized with styling specially designed for this. This could be a salt spray, all kinds of pastes, or a spray that highlights the strands.
- If the layering technique is used for a short haircut, it is important to take into account the growth point (whirlwind). Because with a short length, the hair will be styled from this point and styling a voluminous crown will be impossible.
And of course, the main finishing element - styling - must be selected according to the type of hair structure. Incorrect styling can make styling heavier or more difficult.
