Study Notes
Graduated Haircut Steps
- Part hair into six sections to establish a guideline.
- Cut the center of the nape section to the desired length for a clear guideline.
Cutting Techniques
- Use a horizontal cutting line parallel to the fingers to maintain consistency.
- Ensure both sides of the nape section are cut to match the center guideline.
Working with Sections
- Measure and part approximately 1-inch wide horizontal sections in the left back area.
- Begin cutting with a vertical subsection, extending down to the nape guideline at a 45-degree angle.
Continuation of the Cut
- Cut entire horizontal sections by parting vertical subsections, checking for consistency regularly.
- Repeat the same cutting method on the right side for balance.
Maintaining Length
- Continue with horizontal sections, ensuring hair length gradually increases toward the apex.
- Maintain upper crown length by holding vertical subsections at a 90-degree angle during cuts.
Side Guidelines
- Establish narrow guide sections at the hairline, approximately ½-inch wide, on both sides.
- Ensure the side guideline curves following the hairline above the ear to maintain a natural look.
Final Cuts
- Smoothly comb sections, holding them with minimal tension, and cut from the nape guide to the side guide.
- Create vertical subsections elevated at a 45-degree angle and cut even with side and nape sections.
Final Touches
- In the last section, hold vertical subsections at a 90-degree angle and cut parallel to fingers for uniformity.
- Final check includes assessing horizontal cuts, blending the upper section with bangs, and trimming any uneven ends.
- Complete the haircut with blowdry styling for a polished finish.
