Haircut "Site" has no Russian roots. She came from America, but it is not known exactly who set the fashion. Some believe that this is Arnold Schwarzenegger, while others refer to the US military. What is the difference between these haircuts from others? What is the technology of its creation?
Who is this hairstyle for?
The “Site” haircut is not universal. Therefore, before you do it, you need to think carefully. In this case, a lot depends on the structure of the hair. What does it mean? This means that the “Platform” haircut is suitable only for those who have good shape and tough hair.
External data, such as face shape or age, practically do not play a role. Doubts are caused only by the square shape of the face and heavy chin. But all individually.
Most of all, such a haircut is suitable for the military, athletes or business people. But, for example, it will not work for hipsters or rappers, because it does not combine with the image.
Haircut Nuances
They are few, but they are. The “Site” haircut is notable for the fact that the temporal and occipital areas are cut very short and even. Thus, a platform is formed on the parietal zone. The look of the hairstyle explains its name. The main secret of haircuts: the site itself must be cut very carefully and evenly, only then the necessary effect will be achieved.
How to cut?
To create any haircut you need experience. It at first glance only seems to be very easy. In fact, the male haircut "Site" is quite difficult to perform.
The most important thing in it is to follow the direction correctly, otherwise the hairstyle will not work. With this hairstyle, you can stand out from the crowd and give yourself even more masculinity and solidity.
To wash or not to wash?
Several stages of the haircut process can be distinguished. The first is when a client sits in a hairdressing chair and explains what he wants. Here problems can begin: when the head is very clean, the hair does not hold its shape and begin to crumble into separate strands. Therefore, the hair will have to be wet.
Often, men, unknowingly, just wash their hair before going to the salon. On the one hand, this is correct. But on the other hand, just washing your hair is not enough. After washing, it is necessary to treat wet hair with styling gel. Such a simple action will help the hair maintain its shape when cutting and protect the hair from overdrying.
Action algorithm
The haircut “Site” begins with the preparation of tools. What is useful:
- hairdressing scissors;
- atomizer;
- a comb with small teeth;
- professional hair clipper , nozzles;
- hair dryer;
- styling products such as mousse, foam, gel.
When all the tools are prepared, you can begin to perform haircuts.
A hairdressing collar is put on the client, and on top is a special peignoir. Hair is evenly moistened with a spray bottle. They are combed and begin to be cleaned with a machine (nozzle one millimeter) from the back of the head. Visually, the hairdresser divides the occipital area in half and in the middle stops cutting. The same nozzle removes hair in the temporal zones.
Go to the parietal zone. The hairdresser with the client determines the desired length, and the master removes the hair on his fingers. How it's done? Pretty simple. The master combs the lock, clamps it between the middle and index fingers and lifts it up. After that, the hairdresser adjusts the length with his fingers and cuts off the excess hair. The thinner the combed strand, the more accurate the haircut.
This can be called a "prefabricated" hairstyle. After that, they begin to work out the whole haircut, eliminating the shortcomings. The master smoothes his hair using a clipper. As a result, there should be neither “antennas”, nor “steps”, nor bald spots.
When the hairdresser moves to the site, he progressively shortens the hair. Then a smooth transition from the occipital and from the temporal to the parietal is created. Each specialist works in his own way: someone with a hair clipper, and someone with scissors.
The final stage is the design of the temples and the edging of the haircut. The cannon, which is located on the neck, is also retracted. The completion of the haircut is leveling it under the platform. Highly qualified professionals can use a machine for this, but it is better to use a special device.
Miracle gadget
A very useful device is called a flutoper. What is it? A special comb made of plastic, which was invented just to create a haircut, "Site", a photo of which is presented in the article. Flattoper is a flat wide comb in which there are marked strips.
Near the handle there is a window with liquid. It with the help of an air bubble helps to smoothly position the comb. This means that for the entire time the haircut of the “Site” is to be done, the master must constantly ensure that the air bubble is in the middle. At the end of the haircut, the hairdresser washes the client’s head, dries it, fixes the hair with a suitable styling tool.
Types of "Playground"
If you look at the photo of the male haircut of the "Site", you can see that there are completely different options for it. This does not mean that mistakenly given in our article images of other hairstyles. Everything is simpler. "Site" has several options. It:
- Classic. The traditional version is a very short occipital and temporal zone. Such a haircut does not need styling and is most suitable for those who have medium-thick hair and soft in structure. Athletes and military appreciate it for its short length and practicality.
- The extended "Playground". It is performed using the same technology as the classic. There is only one difference - the hair is longer. In the parietal zone, they can reach 7 centimeters, and in the temporal zones - 3. For men whose skull cannot boast of evenness or clean skin, first of all, pay attention to this haircut. The hairstyle will be shaped only if the hair is stiff and with good density. Carriers of such a haircut need to do styling daily and use styling products.
- With drawing. To stand out from the crowd, you can make a haer tattoo on the temporal and occipital zones. In order to make a drawing, the master must use a trimmer. In fact, this is a very small clipper. Most often, men make a drawing at only one of the temples. The bad thing is that such a way to stand out is very short-lived, because the hair grows very quickly. But if you really want to maintain an image, then going to the hairdresser once a week will solve the problem.
How to stack
It will not take a lot of time to get a haircut - just 15 minutes. Short hair does not need styling, but long strands without a hairdryer, styling products and combs do not give shape.
From how correctly a man chooses a haircut, his image and how others will perceive him will depend. The main thing is not to be afraid and try new things.
