One of the most common problems we get and perhaps the most common mistake customers make while making a reservation includes knowing the difference between cutting and trimming hair. We’re here for you to break it down!
A popular misconception about cuts is that requesting a haircut means that you want to take a lot of time off, but it’s not actually valid! A haircut service involves the treatment of all layers of hair and the development of texture through precise cuts. Many haircuts include layering and require comprehensive hair section to ensure that the final result is pleasant and even.
Alternatively, the bottom 2 inch of your hair will offer an End Trim facility. End cuts are usually completed and do not require sectioning after the styling component of a service. During a finishing cut, the stylist only brings your hair to the very ends and produces a straight line. End trims do not discuss any of the layers, textured or shaped.
Then what’s the big thing? It is important to know the difference when you book an appointment in which service you request! Since haircuts discuss all hair layers and include section/shaping, it requires a lot more time from your stylist. End trims are a faster, smoother cut. We want to ensure that we have the right amount of time for the service you need!
Both cutting versus trimming hair start working on their hair from the bottom up, which is a procedure you can also adopt if you want to cut your own hair. You should start at the crown, pull hair lengths up and use the fine tooth comb to measure and snipe the hair. You should travel around the corona with your predetermined calculation of the final hair length after being pleased with the initial snips. Recall cutting longer than the intended length as moisture lengthens the hair.
You also get a shampoo before the haircutter goes to work when you go to the salons for a professionally decorated hair service. The issue is that hair is easier to deal with if it doesn’t stick, get tangled and snuggled against each other. Of course, you can still just moisten your hair in a spray bottle with water. It has the same effect, except it doesn’t have to wash your hair first.
You will have to keep wetting the hair when clipping and cutting. This means that you have fewer strays and less snarles in your hair which can impact the final results of the cut.
With your first attempts to trim hair, you will succeed. Just remember to keep your hair tight, keep fighting and work up and you should be alright.
