Fading is really just working with gradients
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having a system gives us a way to move between lengths smoothly instead of guessing our way through the blend.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cleaner the system, the easier it is to stay consistent from one section to the next.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s what gives us a smooth transition instead of a fade we have to keep chasing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t forget to clean your edges up too 😉

Scissors are scissors, right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wellllll, not exactly.🙅🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Different sizes, shapes and tooth patterns all give us different results. Choosing the right scissor isn’t about having more tools. It’s about understanding what each one allows us to do and which one works for us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more intentional we are with the scissors we choose, the more comfortable we can work. The more comfortable we work, the longer we can do this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And more time behind the chair means more haircuts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We use our scissors all day🫂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How they sit in our hand matters. How our thumb moves matters. How much tension we’re carrying through our hand, wrist and shoulder matters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A scissor should feel comfortable enough that we can focus on the haircut instead of fighting the tool.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comfort isn’t just preference. It gives us control.

Size matters😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not because one size is better than another, but because different scissors give us different levels of control.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A shorter scissor allows me to work through smaller sections with more precision. A longer scissor gives me more reach when the technique calls for it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choose the size based on what you’re trying to accomplish, not just what you’re used to holding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Clean scissors create clean lines.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hair, product, moisture, whatever. Things build up on our scissors while we work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we’re not cleaning that off, the scissor can start to push or fold the hair instead of cutting through it cleanly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can have perfect sections and tension, but if the tool isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do, neither will the line.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a small detail, but those small details add up.

Damp hair, Use blow dryer with diffuser (one speed, one heat) until slightly damp (do not dry all the way) use cold shot function on blow dryer (no heat) apply dime size amount of paste comb in the direction you want it to lay and finish with hairspray if needed!
