Most hairstylists prefer to cut hair when it's damp. Some actually prefer to cut on bone dry hair. Regardless whether your hair is cut damp or dry, it will ideally be sectioned down the middle of the head from the hairline to the nape of the neck.

The finished haircut ideally will be slightly shorter in back and bit longer along the sides and in front.

Styling The Haircut

Follow the steps below:

1. Cleanse hair in lukewarm body using products designed for your hair type, texture and current condition. Cleanse using procedures that work best for your hair whether it be full shampoo, diluted shampoo (DS), water only (WO), Conditioner Only (CO), No Poo, Low Poo or a combination.

2. Rinse well and apply appropriate rinse out conditioner from top of ears to the ends. If hair is fine or thin then you may wish to use a very light conditioner. With product on wet hair detangle using fingers or a wide tooth comb.

3. Rinse well and then finish with a cool or cold water wash.
