I used to love haircuts that were shorter in the back and longer toward the front!

Part of it was because I thought they made my face look narrower.

For a long time, I saw haircutting as a way to hide the parts of myself I didn’t like.

Somewhere along the way, that changed. ❤️

I still love what a haircut can do. I love how changing shape can completely change the way hair moves and frames a face. It’s one of the reasons I fell in love with this craft.

But I no longer believe that beauty is something a haircut gives us.

Now I see haircutting the way I see putting on a favorite outfit. It can be fun. It can express personality. But it doesn’t determine whether the person underneath is beautiful.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror wishing you could change yourself before you could finally like yourself, I hope one day you experience the freedom of realizing those are two different things.

Hair cuts, hair color, make up, fashion etc can change. Your worth never depended on it. ❤️

Here’s how I did the back of my last post and also how I connected it to the front. ❤️❤️❤️

Let’s geek out on haircutting together! ❤️😊✂️

Here’s how I smoothed out the chunks in this haircut. ❤️

Here’s how I did the front of the last post. ✂️

I got a guide from the back and made all the hair in the front travel towards the guide. ❤️

Hope you find this helpful!! 😊

You can bevel more or bevel less by cutting more or cutting less of the corner.

You can also adjust the amount of hair you’re beveling by dropping more or dropping less of the perimeter.

Currently working on the 6th module of the Practice Studio subscription. Here’s a peek at it. I hope you find it helpful! ❤️
