How To Angle Cut Hair

If you want to make blunt cuts look more dynamic, angled haircuts are a great way to do it.The angle point towards the face is what you want for a face framing cut.If you want to step up a bob and make it appear longer in the front, you need to have the hair angle downward towards the collarbone.You can experiment with more layers if you know the basics of angle cutting hair.

Step 1: Start with dry hair that's parted.

The method will give you a haircut that is shorter in the front and longer the back.Soft, face-framing layers will be created when the around your face is cut at a steep, downward angle.The rest of your hair should be trimmed to the length you want it to be.

Step 2: Take everything with you into a ponytail.

Pull your hair into a bun instead of securing it with a ponytail.On both sides, leave the hair in front of your ears loose.

Step 3: The point guide is in the middle of your hair.

Take a thick section of hair from the center-front of your head.Place your fingers on the section to end it.You can cut your hair with scissors.Depending on where you want the layers to start, how much you cut off depends.Cut where you want your nose or chin to be.The angle will be sharper the higher you cut it.

Step 4: Cut the left side of your hair downward.

Take a strand of hair to the left of the guide.The comb should stop 1 inch below the point guide.You can cut the strand at a downward angle.The rough cutting part will give you the general length.The strand can be held between your fingers.

Step 5: Continue cutting the left side of your hair.

To the left of the one you just cut is a small section of hair.The strand should be cut at another downward angle after the comb has passed the length you cut.Continue until you reach the far side of that hair section.

Step 6: Cut upwards into the angle.

To get to the left of the point guide, take a 12 to 1-inch section of hair.You should pinch it between your fingers.Cut the strand against the point guide with the shears.Measure the next strand against the previous one to refine the rough cut.Refer to the section of hair that was cut before your haircut.While doing this, hold the scissors in your palm.

Step 7: The process should be repeated on the right side of your hair.

Once you rough cut it into a choppy angle, you can refine it by cutting into the strands.Make sure both sides are even.You can pull strands from either side of your face to make sure they end at the same level.).

Step 8: Straighten your hair.

Before you use a flat iron, make sure your hair is protected with a heat protectant.Cut both sides of your hair using the same technique.If there are any pieces that aren't gone, trim them off.It's a good idea to trim the rest of your hair.It would be a good idea to give it a quick pass even if you already did it.This will make it blend better into the face-framing layers.

Step 9: Don't cut or style your hair.

You should unclip your hair once you are happy with your haircut.It's normal to style your hair that way.

Step 10: Start with dry hair that has already been cut.

This style will look like a bob if there is a steep angle between the front and back.The hair should be cut short at the nape from corner to corner.Don't wait, cut your hair now.It's easier to do this method on someone else.It will be more difficult if you try it on yourself.

Step 11: Measure horizontally across the center of your hair.

To create a clean part, use the handle of a rat-tail comb.Pick a side and place a comb on it.The short hair on the back should be level with the end of the comb.

Step 12: Using the comb as a guide, pinch the hair between your fingers.

Use your fore and middle fingers to make a V-shape.The front part of the hair should be close to the fingers.From front to where the short lengths start, try to get the entire hair section between your fingers.

Step 13: The section should be pulled away from the head and back.

If you spin the client in the chair until your hand is next to the back of their neck, it's the easiest way to do this.You can keep your fingers parallel to the floor by sliding them down the hair shaft.Pull their hair away at a 90-degree angle if you can't spin the chair.

Step 14: The hair should be cut with a pair of shears.

Go towards the back from the outside edge of the hair section.You should cut below your fingers.A pair of dry cutting shears would be better for this.

Step 15: The process should be repeated for the other side of the client's head.

The process is the same: use the comb to measure out a horizontal guide along the client's hair, pinch the entire section between your fingers, and cut it.

Step 16: Fix the hair and style it as usual.

There is a haircut from the front.Make any necessary adjustments by measuring the two long lengths against one another.You should style the client's hair as usual once you are happy with the cut.
