Simply wavy or totally curly, the square blur is a hair cut very easy to achieve provided you have the right gestures.
Louis Lafolie, Artistic Director at Camille Albane, gives us his instructions for a perfect blurred square.
A razor cut for a square blur overhead
To get a really light blur square, the cut is done with a razor.
The objective is to trim and cut hair in one gesture to achieve a less pronounced and more modern result. For this type of haircut, one avoids the scissors which give a rendering too heavy, and above all, one does not degrade too much not to break the movement.
The trick of the pro: according to the shape of the face, one creates a square blur more or less plunging, to avoid the "helmet" effect that cups the features.
A wick on the side to dress a square blur
To avoid weighing down the blurred square and retaining a capped-disheveled effect, put a wick on the long side rather than a fringe. For a perfect result, a line is drawn on the side, and the wick is cut at the level of eyelashes. Especially not shorter. The hair tends to go up while drying.
The trick of the pro: you cut the wick always with the razor, millimeter per millimeter: better to cut several times than cut too short. To be sure not to be mistaken, one can cut the strand on dry hair.
How to style a square blur?
The secret of a square blur succeeded is its side-coiffed-disheveled.
One starts by boosting the volume by drying the hair upside down to take off the roots, while crumpling the lengths. And especially, one does not brush the hair once dry, under penalty of "breaking" the curls and the undulations.
Those with hair that is too smooth or too flat can take up the wicks of the top using a curling iron before dissecting the locks to the fingers.
The trick of the pro: after drying or on waking, one gives a blow of peps to its square blur with a water texturizing "effect out of range", which will gain and mattify the hair fiber. We pulverize, we crumple and that's it: with this kind of hairstyle, the less you do, the better.
