Take Notes: A Good Haircut


All ladies that are looking for that "cool" haircut so they can have a "different" or "edgy" look should take notes from Nicole of Nina Sky. Notice that even though she has a drastically short cut, the hair BLENDS into itself very nicely. I didn't do this cut, but blending is my specialty and field of expertise. The proper term for this is "weight distribution" where you blend or "fade" the longer hair into the shorter hair so that there is no abrupt dark/ light area in the haircut. If you want a "cool" haircut, that doesn't mean that you have to get a terrible haircut. A good haircut blends into itself nicely, which makes styling it very easy, because you don't have to try to "hide" areas of the cut. And the real test of a good cut is how it GROWS OUT!!! With a good cut, you should ONLY need a lining the following week as the hair should grow evenly with the way that it is cut so that only the edges need to be defined...
For the record, my haircuts last up to 3 weeks before a client actually NEEDS another haircut. The only thing my clients need are a shave and a lining until the hair gets too long for their preferred style. Even when Kanye rocked the roughed-up "Black Mullet" hairstyle, you could see the nice, even "weight distribution" and how the short tapered hair @ his temple "BLENDS" into long hair @ the crown and nape of his head...
