In order to give a decent haircut, you need to have proper equipment that will help you get the job done right. Professional haircutting scissors are a must – they make the difference between frustration and a job well done. They come with different price tags, colors, styles, and lengths. As for price, you pick up a pair for around $20 at a beauty shop, or you can purchase scissors for several hundred dollars. If you give the occasional haircut at home, a $20 pair will do the job. However, if you cut hair all day, every day, at a salon, you’ll need the more expensive, higher quality scissors. You get what you pay for.

Proper Care

Regardless of the price you paid for your scissors, they all need proper maitenance and care. At the end of every haircutting session (at home) or work day (at a salon), you need to clean, dry, and lubricate your haircutting scissors.

Cleaning: Wash your scissors thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Be careful not to hit the tips of the scissors against the sides of the sink.

Drying: Use a soft, clean towel to thoroughly dry your scissors. Be sure to get between the blades to prevent any type of damage.

Lubricating: Open your scissors at a 90° angle and put a drop of oil at the joint where the blades meet. Work the oil into the joint by opening and closing the blades. This will work out any hair, dust, dirt or chemicals that found their way to the joint.

When your are finished cleaning, drying, and lubricating your scissors, store them in the pouch that you bought them in. If you put your scissors in a box or bag, the tips of the blades could get damaged.

Proper Use

If you follow these guidelines for proper scissor use, your scissors can last you a lifetime

* Only cut hair with your scissors

* Only cut clean hair

* Check regularly to see if your scissors need adjusting

* Get your scissors sharpened (by a professional only!) if they still don’t work properly after you’ve cleaned and lubricated them

* Keep your haircutting scissors clear of any comb sterilization, perm or coloring chemicals – these will damage your shears.

It is very important to keep your scissors clean and lubricated because it lengthens the life of your scissors. On the other hand, frequent use of dirty, dull or damaged scissors shortens the lifespan of your shears and will make it necessayr for you to purchase a new pair sooner than if you had taken good care of them. So do yourself (and your scissors) a favor: clean, dry, and lubricate!

A curly hair type is that type of hair type, which someone loves very much, and someone love that. Curly hair mainly problematic for some people of its styling. It is not a very easy to handle your curly hair stylistically. Very few styles can be suited on this type of hair texture. Surely curly hair type can give you a different image that is completely a change from your straight hairstyle.

The most funny thing is that one, who has a curly hair, wants to have a straight plain hair; and one who has plain hair wants to apply a curly hairstyle. Again a short hairstyle does not match every one. Dressing sense, hair styling and body structure determine whether a curly hair is a hit or a miss. To try a curly short hairstyle you need some considerations to maintain. The followings may help you.

1. Hair texture: Hair texture is very important while applying curly short haircut. If you have thin hair you can surely apply a curly hairstyle. But a wavy hair type is not perfect for applying curly haircut. This is because it can be looking like a burden on your head and you cannot feel comfortable in this cut. So, ensure your hair texture whether it is thick, yours as wavy and then imagine how it will look? It must not be a burden on your head. A curly hair normally needs extra time, care and attention comparing to plain hair. Curly hair needs to be combed regularly unless it will be fizzy and knotty. All these can give you some real trouble. So be sure how much time you are planning to spend on your short curly haircut and style. And, then cut your hair.

2. The shape of your face: Your face has to be suitable for your new short curly hairstyle. If you as for instance have long face then you can apply this style. For a long face a long plain straight hairstyle is not complementing. Long face with short curly hair is much good looking than the other combination. But if your face structure is big and jaw line is quite defined and large then it’s better not to try a curly short hair. Your head will be looking like a big bulk. It is better to stay away from this experimentation. A bulky curly hairstyle focuses only your head in your body structure.

3. Be sure about your hair cut: You can select a curly haircut and can take a picture with you when you are going to the parlor. Again you can also bring a snap, which will help the hair expert what you do not want to have for your curly hair. So, do the every possible things to make your hair stylist understand your likings and dislike so that he can work out accordingly.

4. Consult your friends: You should consult your friends and have their advice as well. Which haircut suits you best can be better told by your friends and near and dear ones. They see you from outside and can better, as a hairstyle is a thing of outer appearance. You may also follow their recommendation for choosing a hairstylist.

5. Styles: This is the most important factor for deciding your curly haircut. As we have stated earlier that the hair stylist must be well trained in cutting short hair. It is not that easy to cut a curly hair short with variations. It is better to have a referral from someone who has gone to this stylist in the past and you at the same time have liked the style of her curly hair. Then it is a smart option to go to the very stylist without much confusion. Consult with him/her and they assist you to choose a style, which will look stunning in your curly hair.
