How does Hair Dusting work?
Are you ready to learn more about how hair dusting is done? Here's the process you can expect your stylist to follow when you request a dusting instead of a cut.
1. Detangle your hair
For the hair de-dusting method to work wonders for your mane, you need to start by detangling your hair. Your stylist will use a wide-toothed comb or brush to remove knots and tangles.
2. Divide them into sections
Next, he will divide your hair into sections, so he can work on smaller portions of hair at a time.
3. Twist the strands
These first two steps are pretty standard for a haircut or trim, but this is where things get more unique. Taking a centimeter-sized section of hair, your stylist will twist it tightly and hold it firmly in place.
4. Trim the ends
Once your hair is in place, the hairdresser uses scissors to cut off any excess hair. This operation focuses on the ends and takes place slowly to prevent you from losing more hair than necessary. When the operation is complete, the hair that was removed should look like a light layer of dust.
5. Twist again
To achieve an even cut, your stylist should then twist your hair in the opposite direction and continue cutting to remove any damaged ends .
6. Repeat the operation
The hair dusting process will be repeated until it has been used on each section of hair. And There you go !
