4 Key Points: Build Proper Weight Without Bulk
1. Use a cutting aid: Claudia applies American Crew Prep & Prime Tonic liberally to the hair before she begins working. Saturate the hair well to facilitate easier sectioning and increase control when cutting. “It’s fantastic for finer texture hair,” Claudia adds.
2. Start in the temple area: When you create your guide, starting at the temple will allow clients to see how short the length will be. That way, you can gauge their comfort with the length as you cut.

3. Maintain zero elevation: As you release hair from the clipped-off section, maintain zero elevation as you cut to your stationary guide. “That way, the haircut stays looking smooth and it doesn’t look stair step-y,” Claudia explains.
4. Try this to create texture: Point cut your sections to soften and add movement. “Every single piece of hair can’t be the same length,” Claudia says. “If it is, we’re not going to have movement and texture—that’s what’s popular and makes hair look effortless when styled.”
