How to Cut a Hairpiece
Cutting a hairpiece can be a challenge if you are not good at cutting real hair. However, with a little research and common sense you can make the hair piece look fashionable. Cut a little at a time so that the hairpiece is not cut too drastically and will still look natural.
Items Needed:
- Fake model
- Hairpiece
- Cutting scissors
- Tarp
- Spray bottle
- Pick out a hairpiece that can spare a few pieces of hair. You do not want to have a hairpiece that only has a little bit of hair. If you want to cut a hairpiece then try to make sure there is enough hair to actually cut off.
- Set up your area so you are prepared to start cutting. Cutting a hairpiece is very similar to cutting real hair and you can set up your station in a similar manner.
- Wet the hairpiece with a little bit of water from a spray bottle. Spray bottles are nice to use to get the hair just a little wet. This makes the hair easier to move around and a lot easier to cut.
- Separate the hairpiece into sections to begin cutting it. If you want the hairpiece cut in a certain way then make sure to have a picture close by. Sections are a great way to cut the hairpiece a little at a time.
- Cut a few centimeters at a time. You do not need to cut off huge chunks but instead just cut off a little at a time. If you cut off too much then you risk ruining the hairpiece all together.
- Finish the haircut and style the hairpiece accordingly. Have the owner of the hairpiece model it so it looks natural.
