The luminaries of hairdressing offer many options for all kinds of haircuts: for men and women, for different types of hair, for any length, for all types of face. An Italian haircut is one such option.

An improperly chosen careless hairstyle can devalue all efforts.

A competent stylist, with the help of modern interpretations of such a hairstyle, will hide initial baldness, thin hair falling out, disproportionate facial contours and its asymmetric features. Caring for a male "Italian" is extremely simple, does not require long standing in front of the mirror, which is important for most men.

Unlike female models, which are most often done for long hair, male versions are performed on medium to short hair. If you have to cut short hair, then they are shortened as much as possible, and at the temples they are completely cut with a machine, but the option of hair length at the temples up to 5 cm is not excluded. With such a hairstyle, you can do without styling. "Italian" on medium hair provides a variety of styling, which makes it possible to create individual images for each client.

Short and long haircuts are still suitable for absolutely all men., since, depending on the features of the appearance, the master selects the best option, and the hairstyle varies greatly due to the length.

Men's options for haircuts "Italian" are suitable for men of absolutely all age categories with any hair structure and all kinds of face types. The only limitation is that men with a round face should choose "Italian" with caution., as short hair at the temples and lush hair at the top of the head will give the face even more roundness.

But a professional stylist will comprehensively think over the image, taking into account the individual characteristics of the appearance of a particular client, select the correct technique of execution and the optimal hair length. Even a chubby man will look fresh and original with a universal "Italian".

Hair color does not affect the "Italian" - she is equally good on dark and light hair. In terms of hair structure, thick coarse hair is ideal for a male "Italian". The haircut looks flawless and practically does not need styling - just wash your hair, blow-dry your hair and comb. For all other types of hair, "Italian" is also well suited, but they will need styling with a hairdryer and fixing agents.

The technique of male "Italian" is considered simple, but despite its seeming simplicity, stylists strongly do not recommend taking it at home, since the result does not always meet expectations, and it is extremely difficult to restore a damaged short hairstyle with any option. If you are not afraid of experimenting with appearance, then it is important to understand the technology and the gradualness of the procedure.

Cutting is done on damp hair, starting from the crown of the head. The master makes a frontal-parietal parting, grabs a control curl 1 cm thick with his fingers, combs, pulls and trims to the desired length.

Gradually, strand by strand, the entire crown area is trimmed. The length of the curls is controlled along the main strand. In the direction of the forehead, the strands smoothly lengthen. Also, one strand at a time, the temporo-lateral zones are trimmed, the lateral strands are pulled perpendicular to the head and cut at the level of the control strand.

The haircut is combed and the result is visually assessed, the defects found are removed with scissors. On thick coarse hair, thinning scissors are used to thin the ends of the bangs and the crown to soften and lighten the image. On weak, thin hair, root thinning is performed to add additional volume.

Numerous interpretations of the "Italian" haircut look stylish and effective, if a man knows how to choose the right styling and make it. Styling is selected suitable for a specific type of face.
