As for the type of hair, there are also some subtleties here.
- For curly and wavy strands choose a stepped haircut. This option evens out the strands in waves, and does not allow them to stick out in different directions.
- In the case of thick hair the upper part is milled with scissors to add volume, and then gradually, with steps, the side strands are lengthened.
- For thin strands when cutting the back of the head and side curls, they do not strive for even cuts. The curls have an arbitrary length, and the front zone is cut in steps and slightly combed, due to this, a voluminous hairstyle is obtained. The "American" haircut is especially recommended for those with fine hair.
