23. Scissors-over-comb technique
1. Make sure hair is DRY
2. Holding the comb in your subordinate hand, use it to elevate the hair from 1° to 90°, depending on the shape desired. Lower elevation builds weight (creating a graduated shape); higher elevation removes weight.
Note: Pick up only as much hair as you can control with consistent elevation.
3. Move the comb to the desired length of the hair. The closer you hold the comb to the head, the shorter the hair will be cut.
4. Using the primary scissors position, begin at the hairline. Cut a 1 1/2" area near the end of the comb, moving the scissors and comb together up the head in a fluid movement. Do not stop and cut, stop and cut.
5. Cut from the center out to the sides and remain aware of the head shape at all times.
6. To change the length of the hair and adjust to the head shape, simply rotate the comb away from you for shorter hair or toward you for longer hair.
