SAVE this for your next one-length haircut ✂️
It is controversial, and so many people like to cut their one-length haircut with the head already pushed forward. The trouble with doing that is that by having the head pushed forward first and then cutting a straight line, you create a rounded shape — which is fine if that’s what you want.
But if you want to create a perfect straight line when the head is up, you must cut the straight line first and then push the head forward, following the natural arc that the body creates.
I hope this helps and makes sense as well. It certainly was a revelation for me 20 years ago when I learned this technique, and it’s the basis and foundation for creating that beautiful long line of graduation through the front to give you gorgeous face-framing layers when creating a butterfly haircut ✨
