How to Make Hair Designs With a Razor
Razor hairstyles look fantastic. They aren’t simple to do though. If you don’t take your time with it you can easily mess up the style and end up with a frizzy mess. If you have some basic knowledge and good tools you can do these styles. You need time and experience to pull it off.
Making a hair design with a razor is a task that needs to be done carefully. It is best to go with a simple design when you are first starting off. Once you have gained experience in creating designs with a razor you can move on to more intricate designs that will take more skill and steady hands.
What You’ll Need:
- Clippers
- Mirror
- Eye Liner
- Shaving Gel (Clear)
- Washcloth
- Trim your hair until you get to where you want it to be for the design. It is a good idea to give your hair enough growth so that the design is noticeable. However, if the hair is too long it may cover parts of the design. Take a warm shower and place a warm washcloth over your head for several minutes to soften up your hair.
- Using the eye liner, draw the design carefully onto your head. Be sure that you can clearly see the design and that it is the size you want and looks good. Take time to study the design and figure out which parts will be shaved and which won’t.
- Put on clear shaving gel while minding the drawing. Shave along the edges slowly. Rinse the razor off after you have done each line. Rid the design of any excess leftover hair by rinsing it. Look closely to see if the design is how you want it to be. Finish rinsing if it is how you want it to look. Reapply gel if it is not.
