The main advantage of a hairstyle is that it can be done by all ladies, regardless of their color type and face shape. An excellent solution is such a haircut for girls who love men's hairstyles and are used to extraordinary experiments.

The process of creating a haircut "mallet" is simple, so even a novice master can handle it. Since it consists of two parts - short and long, it is important to correctly divide the hair into zones and correctly follow the trimming technique, which is performed as follows.

• First you need to carefully comb the strandsafter wetting them with water. After that, the hair is divided into separate sections and a part is made from one ear to the other through the crown. Thanks to this, the curls are divided into frontal and occipital zones. Additionally, the frontal region is divided into two or three more temporal areas and one parietal. As for the back of the head, it is simply divided into two halves.
• Then proceed to direct haircut, the scheme and technique of which is similar to the "gavroche" hairstyle. It should be cut from the back of the head, having previously created horizontal parting from the borders, where hair growth begins. This should be done at a right angle, slightly pulling and combing the strands. After that, using the technique of superimposing one strand on another, the remaining strands of hair are cut, strictly observing a straight line. As a result, the occiput area will be clearly identified.

• The next step is correction of the temples... First of all, a side parting is made, which starts from the temporal protrusion and continues to the ear. Then a thin strand is separated and processed with a razor. After that, two more strands are separated and the edging of the temple is made, opening the ear.

The design of the temporal lateral section must be continued using side partings - they are formed from small parts of hair by pulling the strand towards the face and overlapping them. As a result, a clear line of the temple contour is obtained, stretching from the middle of the eyes to the ear, which must be similarly shaped on the other side.

• The next step is to perform control of the hairstyle in the region of the crownby outlining a straight line. To do this, strands of hair should be pulled back at the crown, making a slight elongation at a right angle. Separately, the left and right parts of the crown are cut by pulling the hair and observing the parallelism of the devices.
• Then proceed to the occipital regionstarting from the right side. First of all, horizontal partings are created, dividing the hair into several strands. The curls should stretch slightly towards the hair on the crown that was previously trimmed. After the right side, go to the left haircut.
• Haircut ends return to the frontal parietal areas... The hair is separated on the head upwards and thinning is carried out using the "pointing" technique. At the very end of the procedure, the curls placed in the temporoparietal region are pulled forward and re-thinned.
• After that, it remains only to execute good styling.

Today, there are several options for styling the mullet haircut. It should be noted, however, that in many cases, girls only manage to dry them with a hairdryer, which allows their hair to look spectacular. If the hairstyle is without bangs, then it can be laid in the following way:

• first, the hair is washed and dried with a hairdryer to add volume (during drying, you need to tilt your head down);
• then a strong fixing agent is taken in the form of a gel or mousse, which is applied to the ends of the hair, and the strands are slightly ruffled;
• at the end of creating a hairstyle, it is fixed with varnish.

In that case, if a bang is provided for a haircut, it is laid additionally... Straight, elongated or asymmetrical bangs are best suited for this hairstyle. Short bangs also look unusual - it is recommended to color or highlight it, highlighting individual strands. In haircuts with bangs, the back of the hair can be gathered into a ponytail if there is no way to tinker with styling. It will take a minimum of effort and time.
