What haircuts don't require styling?

Is it possible?

Is it possible to create a haircut that the client does not have to style at home? Or do such forms not exist, but it is necessary to determine the cutting technique? Let's figure it out!

There is no one perfect haircut for everyone. I believe that it is necessary to create a haircut that does not require styling separately for each client. But first you need to determine the styling format and cutting technique to create the shape.

First of all, we must conditionally divide the styling into two variations:

Complex styling is the styling that is created using special tools (round brushes, curling irons, straightening irons, etc.). If we talk about styling with tools, then any haircut can be styled (if it is done well).

Easy styling means minimal impact during styling (natural drying and easy combing). If we talk about which haircuts can only be minimally styled (for the convenience of the client at home), then the hairdresser needs to choose exactly the ideal technique! Yes, yes, minimal styling may be required not by a specific haircut, but by a haircut technique correctly adapted by the master.

There are many different haircutting techniques in the arsenal of hairdressing, and each is good in its own way and affects styling in a certain way.

Let me give you examples:

- If the client's hair is thin, then it is better to stick to tight cuts.

- If the hair is thick and porous, it will need work.

- If your hair is curly, then when cutting you need to take into account the crown (curl bend).

It is also important to understand that the proposed haircut shape may seem inappropriate or too short to the client, but the structure of his hair does not allow him to create a shape that maintains the length and for the hair to “style itself.” To do this, you still need to choose the right technique, and not a specific form of haircut.

Be sure to adapt techniques to your hair texture type to create the perfect haircut shape for your client.
