Types of short, practical men’s haircuts to inspire
Thick, fine, straight, wavy, frizzy hair… The short cuts they are democratic, practical and certainly the most requested out there. Not always because of the cut itself, sometimes it’s more a matter of practicality when taking care. I’m lying?
Less hair and less work I would say. Less shampoo, less conditioner, less creams, faster to dry and easier to style. I mean, the latter not so much. Some men really like the art of hairstyles and spend more time in the mirror, with a hairdryer and various styling products. But in short: overall, short hair really is more practical.
For those with short hair, it is already clear that you save on products and time to take care of day-to-day, on the other hand, you spend more on maintenance, that is, the frequency of cutting is shorter. Just three weeks is enough for you to take a fresh look at that cool cut that was made last time. For the most critical, two weeks is enough! So, my friend, prepare your pocket and set aside that little extra time.
Tips for Men’s Short Haircuts
Bald, goose bumps, fake mohawk, military, sideways, undercut and pompadour. Run the machine on the side, make a gradient cut up to here or there, trim just with scissors, section, remove volume, I want a line on the side. Have you ever noticed how the language is in salons or barbershops? As much as we know dozens of names of cuts, hardly anyone memorizes or remembers it when ordering. There are these more traditional terms that I mentioned above, by the way, a lot of foreign and complicated names. Of course, it’s easier to take a photo as a reference on the internet and just talk about the basics on top of that. I highly recommend doing this!
But what is this basic?
little machine
What every man who cuts his hair short needs to know is the comb heights of the machine, which range from 0 to 9 (some reach 12), from the shortest to the longest. Remembering that there are also sizes 1.5; 2.5; 3.5 and so on. Whether you’re going to machine everything or just the side, find the comb height you want. For gradients, show how you’ll want it by pointing it over your head, but name what comb height you want.
Scissors
Here comes the basics of terms, something you must learn to converse in the same language as your hairdresser.
When you ask for a cut, you should know how this cut will be done so the hairdresser will prepare the type of tool (scissors) you will use. The basic terms are: decrease volume, layered cut, peaked cut, razor cut and textured cut:
- Lower the volume – made with a specific type of shredder (looks like scissors). This stripper allows some strands to be cut shorter and others to remain full length, taking away the bulk. Good for thick hair, straight to frizzy;
- In layers – is when the longer hair is over the shorter hair, giving movement and depth. Most common in medium and long hair. Good for those with thinner hair, from straight to wavy;
- peaked – when strands have different lengths, which gives the hair a thicker appearance. Good for those with little hair or thin hair;
- carved – here the barber uses a razor instead of scissors to cut the ends. The hair gains a more tapered texture, thinner at the ends, and can gain volume;
- Textured – the hair gets a kind of texture, something like a sequential drawing or an optical illusion. It is very important to know the hairstyle and the products that make the look coolest. Good for thicker hair and especially frizzy ones.
Now that you know the basics, find that cut that inspires you, take the photo and ask your hairdresser to do the same or similar + the type of cut of your choice (machine X, gradient, layered, peaked , carved, textured).
Short and practical haircut inspirations
Remembering that the cuts are very similar, regardless of the name. Generally the lowest side with machine, fade or scissors and the highest top, whether razor, textured or pebbled. There are cases where the volume is removed with scissors in its entirety.
The hairstyle or even the tousled of the hair will determine an entire style. Up, to the side, fringed, ruffled, back, messy, textured, or well combed. You are then left with images to inspire and show your hairdresser.
