Execution technique
The process of creating a haircut "mallet" is simple, so even a novice master can cope with it. Since it consists of two parts - short and long, it is important to correctly divide the hair into zones and correctly observe the pruning technique, which is performed as follows.
- First you need to carefully comb the strandsby pre-moistening them with water. After that, the hair is divided into separate sections and parted from one ear to the other through the crown area. Due to this, the curls are divided into the frontal and occipital zones. Additionally, the frontal region is divided into two or three temporal sections and one parietal. As for the nape, it is simply divided into two halves.
- Then proceed to a direct haircut, the scheme and technique of which is similar to the haircut haircut. It should be cut from the back of the head, previously creating horizontal partings from the borders where hair growth begins. You need to do this at a right angle, slightly pulling and combing the strands. After that, using the technique of applying one strand to another, the remaining strands of hair are cut, strictly observing a straight line. As a result, the nape area is clearly marked.
- The next step is temple adjustment. First of all, they draw a side part, which begins from the temporal protrusion and continues to the ear. Then a thin strand is separated and it is processed with a razor. After that, two more strands are separated and the edging of the temple is made, opening the ear.
The design of the temporal lateral area must be continued using oblique partings - they are formed from small parts of the hair by pulling the locks to the face and laying them on top of each other. The result is a clear line of the contour of the temple, stretching from the middle of the eyes to the ear, which similarly needs to be framed on the other hand.
- The next step is to complete control of hair in the crown of the headby plotting a straight line. For this, strands of hair should be pulled off at the crown, making a slight extension at a right angle. Separately, the left and right parts of the crown are trimmed by pulling the hair and observing the parallelism of the devices.
- Next proceed to the occipital regionstarting on the right side. First of all, create horizontal partings, dividing the hair into several strands. Curls should be slightly drawn to the hair on the little head that was previously trimmed. After the right side go to the left haircut.
- Haircut ends return to the frontoparietal sites. The hair is separated on the head up and using the method of "pointing" carry out their thinning. At the very end of the procedure, the curls placed in the temporoparietal region are pulled forward and re-filing.
- After that, it remains only to perform good styling.
Styling methods
To date, there are several options for styling haircuts "mallet". At the same time, it is worth noting that in many cases, girls get by only drying with a hairdryer, which allows their hair to look spectacular. If a hairstyle without a bang, then it can be laid in the following way:
- first, the hair is washed and dried with a hairdryer to give additional volume (during drying, it is necessary to tilt your head down);
