💡 Pro Technique Tips

🎯 Work Systematically

Always cut from longest to shortest lengths. This creates a natural progression and makes blending easier.

👁️ Check Symmetry

Step back frequently to check both sides. Use mirrors and different angles to ensure balanced results.

💦 Consider Hair State

Remember that hair looks different wet vs dry. Practice cutting in both states to understand the differences.

⏱️ Patience in Blending

Blending takes time. Rushing creates harsh lines. Work slowly and check transitions from multiple angles.
