Two-block Haircuts Combining a Uniform Layer Cut and a One-length Cut According to Head Region, Length, and Slice Line

Purpose: This study focuses on the two-block haircut, characterized by a uniform layer cut on top of the head and a one-length cut in the bottom of the head. The proposed haircut serves as a foundational reference by demonstrating its changes across three head areas, lengths, and slice lines. Methods: Based on the top golden medium point, golden point, and golden back medium point, the head was divided in to two part, and the upper part was named the top of head with lengths of 5, 20, and 25 cm and the lower part was named the bottom of head with lengths of 25, 20, and 15 cm. For the slice line, a parallel line was applied to the rear of the head and an A line, parallel line, and V line were applied to the side surface of the head. Results: The top of the head featured a uniform layer cut, with a rough texture and rounded shape, at a uniform length. At the bottom of the head with a one-length cut, smoothness, orderliness, and an angular shape were observed. The A line had longer hair extending toward the face line, creating a thin shape, while the parallel line had a flat shape. The V line featured a distinct round shape with shorter hair as it goes toward the face line. The two-block cuts appeared unconnected, giving them a sense of uniqueness, mystery, and freshness. Conclusion: A one-length cut creates smoothness and an angular shape, while a uniform layer cut achieved the same length with a rough texture. To smooth the connection line in a two-block haircut, it is essential to extend the hair and segment the head area down. When dividing the head area and selecting the length and slice line, it is necessary to do so according to head shape, face shape, hair quality, and the customer’s taste. It is possible to reduce the number of errors by correcting the combing from the root of the hair and standing in a frontal position when cutting rather than cutting it. The length of the haircut’s starting point is closely related to the final overall length and shape. These findings should be further investigated through research into three-block haircuts.
