Tutorial:
Step 1: Clean and Dry Hair
Start with clean, dry hair. Ensure your hair is free from tangles or knots by gently combing through it with a styling comb.
Step 2: Section the Hair
Divide your hair into sections using the comb. The sectioning can be as simple as parting the hair in the middle and separating it into two halves.
Step 3: Create the Length
Using the comb as a guide, hold the hair straight and trim it horizontally, following the desired length. Work your way around the head, making sure the length remains consistent.
Step 4: Trim the Fringe
For the fringe or bangs, comb the hair forward and trim it to the desired length. You can choose to have a straight-cut fringe or customize it with an angled or textured finish.
Step 5: Refine and Style
After the initial cut, go through the hair and make any necessary adjustments to ensure an even and balanced look. If desired, you can apply a small amount of hair gel or wax to add definition or hold to the style.
Step 6: Regular Maintenance
To maintain the bowl cut, schedule regular trims every 4-6 weeks. This will help keep the hair at the desired length and maintain the shape and integrity of the style.
Remember, the bowl cut is a bold and distinctive hairstyle. Embrace its retro charm and make it your own with confidence and individuality!
