Master this professional shag haircut cutting technique on a mannequin head to improve your precision and layering skills.
This tutorial guides you through a fundamental haircutting technique designed for students and stylists practicing on a mannequin head. We cover the essential process of hair sectioning, which ensures consistency and clean lines before you begin cutting. By focusing on proper hand positioning and control, you will learn how to execute accurate layering using standard scissors.
Once the structure is set, the demonstration moves to hair styling preparation. You will see how to correctly apply product to your hands and distribute it through the hair, creating a smooth, textured finish that highlights the shag silhouette. This approach helps you visualize how individual sections integrate into a cohesive style, making it easier to refine your haircutting technique on live clients later.
