Haircut with hot scissors at home
Beautiful and well-groomed hair is the dream of every woman of the fairer sex. Poor ecology, poor quality food, a high level of workload and constant stress lead not only to the appearance of various diseases, but also to a deterioration in the condition of the skin, hair and nails. This problem is especially acute in winter, when the body lacks vitamins, sunlight and oxygen, and the dry air of heated rooms makes the hair weak, brittle and lifeless. The solution to this problem is to use a set of measures, one of which is a haircut with hot scissors.
Before starting this procedure at home, the fairer sex should carefully study all the subtleties of this manipulation, as well as its positive and negative aspects.
Peculiarities
The presence of split ends is not only a sign of a lack of vitamins, but also a symptom of such a dangerous disease as trichoptilosis. Ignoring this problem can lead to cuticle detachment and the disappearance of keratin. The mechanical way to solve this problem is to seal the ends with hot scissors. This is done with scissors with hot blades.
For many decades, women have used ordinary iron scissors for this procedure, which they heated over an open fire. Modern equipment and innovative technologies have enabled manufacturers to develop and manufacture a new generation of goods - electric hot scissors that have a temperature control sensor. This function is mandatory and makes it possible to select the temperature regime depending on the type of hair.
To prevent the appearance of thermal burns, the handles of the device are covered with thermal pads.
To prevent the appearance of thermal burns, the handles of the device are covered with thermal pads. The high price of a medical procedure in beauty salons is increasingly forcing women of fashion to resort to self-cutting hair at home. The main condition is the availability of a professional tool and professional skills. Not everyone can make a high-quality haircut with a hot tool. The main indicators of the condition of the hair, which indicate the need to use this type of haircut:
- section;
- dropping out;
- fragility;
- dryness;
- dullness.
Like any cosmetic procedure, this haircut has its advantages and disadvantages. Among the main advantages, experts distinguish the following:
- strengthening the structure of curls;
- the ability to apply to any type of hair;
- prevention of keratin leaching;
- the possibility of using nodular disease;
- acceptable combination with other cosmetic procedures;
- creating a lush and thick hairstyle;
- the ability to cut hair at any age and during pregnancy;
- prevention of split ends;
- prevention of strand loss.
Disadvantages:
- duration of the procedure;
- the inability to carry out on a very short haircut;
- prevents dissection only at the sealing point;
- availability of special tools and professional experience;
- impossibility of sealing along the entire length;
- high price.
The effect of this procedure on the condition of the curls:
- lack of fluff;
- reduction in the number of double ends;
- feeling of softness and airiness of the hairstyle;
- no tangled curls effect.
Experts categorically do not recommend cutting healthy and dense strands, as well as bleached curls, with hot scissors.
Required tools
For this procedure, you need to purchase special scissors. On the shelves of specialized departments, you can see two types of these products.
- Stationary - a classic hairdresser's tool that works from the electrical network and has 3 temperature settings. The standard length of the power cord is 3 meters.
- Mobile - a new model of the device that runs on a battery. The device is controlled using a computer device.
When buying a tool, you should pay attention to the country of manufacture. Japanese and Italian instruments have the greatest number of positive reviews. It is strictly forbidden to purchase cheap Chinese models, which not only do not solve the problem, but can also damage the hair structure. Specialists can use a hot blade to create a model haircut.
Execution technique
Experts distinguish two methods of thermal cutting:
- creating a fashionable haircut;
- sealing the ends.
There are 3 ways to eliminate split ends.
- Harnesses - sealing hair along the entire length. Technology of carrying out - drying the hair strands, twisted into bundles with a hairdryer. Under the action of the air flow, the damaged hairs are lifted and subsequently trimmed.
- By form - removal of split strands in the process of creating a haircut.
- Along the contour - creating edging along the entire length of the hair.
Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to determine the condition of the hair and, according to this indicator, select the temperature regime.
Professional hairdressers distinguish 3 hair conditions:
- weak and thin;
- healthy;
- thick and tough.
Cutting the first type of hair should be carried out at a temperature of no more than 110 degrees. The maximum temperature for normal hair should not exceed 140 degrees. For the third type of strands, the temperature can be increased to 150 degrees. To carry out the procedure yourself, you must have the following set of tools:
- hot scissors;
- cape;
- water spray;
- stationary mirror.
The haircut procedure consists of the following steps:
- diagnostics of hair condition - the most accurate information can be provided by a computer analysis of the hair shaft;
- the formation of harnesses and haircuts;
- the final creation of the image of a new hairstyle.
Cutting with hot scissors should be done in the following sequence:
- warming up an electrical appliance;
- separating strands of hair with small elastic bands;
- twisting cords and cutting split ends;
- turning off the device;
- shampooing with a special shampoo and balm.

Hair care
There is no specific recommendation for trimmed hair care. Experts advise you to follow simple rules:
- regular use of this method;
- complete drying of curls before bedtime;
- drinking a lot of water;
- using a balanced diet;
- the use of quality cosmetics without parabens;
- regular use of firming balms and moisturizing masks;
- using only purified warm water with a soft structure;
- rinsing hair with water at room temperature;
- the use of cosmetic products in strict accordance with the type of hair;
- combing only dry curls;
- natural drying of hair without harsh drying with a towel;
- using the ionization mode when working with a hairdryer;
- regular rinsing of hair with various herbal decoctions;
- taking special vitamin complexes that contribute to the healing of the hair shaft and follicle.
Experienced craftsmen recommend abandoning irons, pans and straighteners, and use the hair dryer only at low temperatures. Hair coloring and curling should be done before cutting hair with hot scissors, which will subsequently help to improve the structure of hair exposed to chemicals. The hot scissor procedure has a similar end result with expensive procedures such as lamination, pyrophoresis, polishing and biolamination.
Hair care is a daily task that will help keep your hair healthy and beautiful throughout your life. If you have a problem with split ends, it is imperative to seek help from a specialist who will select a set of therapeutic measures. Performing cosmetology procedures for hot hair cutting in beauty salons is an expensive pleasure that not all women can afford. An alternative solution to the problem may be to invite a specialist home. It is strictly forbidden to use hot scissors without professional skills.
A competent approach to solving the problem and adherence to all recommendations is the key to a complete restoration of the hair structure.
