If you've been dreaming of a hairstyle that has some volume and movement, then you might want to try flipping up your hair. Flipping up your hair is a great way to add some bounce to your locks, and it's actually pretty easy to do. In this article, we'll show you how to cut hair to make it flip up.
How to Cut Hair to Make it Flip Up
The key to cutting hair to make it flip up is to create layers. Layers will give your hair volume and movement, which will make it easier to flip up. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Start by washing your hair
Before you start cutting your hair, you'll want to make sure it's clean and free of any tangles. Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and then let it air dry or blow dry it on a low heat setting.
Step 2: Section your hair
Divide your hair into sections using clips or hair ties. Start by clipping the top section of your hair up and out of the way. This will make it easier to cut the bottom section of your hair.
Step 3: Cut the bottom section of your hair
Using a pair of sharp scissors, cut the bottom section of your hair into layers. Start by cutting a few inches off the ends of your hair, and then work your way up. Make sure to cut the hair at an angle, as this will help create the flip-up effect.
Step 4: Cut the top section of your hair
Once you've finished cutting the bottom section of your hair, unclip the top section and repeat the same process. Cut the hair into layers, starting with the ends and working your way up. Again, make sure to cut the hair at an angle.
Step 5: Style your hair
Once you've finished cutting your hair, you can style it to make it flip up. Use a round brush and a blow dryer to add volume to your hair, and then use a curling iron to flip the ends of your hair up. You can also use a straightener to create a more subtle flip.
