Scene haircuts come in different length and style. Since they are usually inspired by alternative music scene, trends for scene hairstyles usually change a bit with every season. The main features of a typical scene haircut are straight, heavily layered hair, usually razor cut, although recently curls and waves are gaining popularity in the community of scene haircuts enthusiasts. If you’ve never tried this kind of hairstyle, here is a short beginner’s guide into how it is being cut.

Although scene haircuts fans usually cut their hair, or at least bangs, by themselves, we strongly recommend you to visit hairstylist for the first cut. If you want to do it by yourself you need to buy a razor comb. It is basically a razor holder and a tool, which helps you handle the razor, so you won’t get hurt during working with it. Razor combs can be bought in shops with professional hair accessories for hairstylists.

Scene haircuts are layered, but not in a conventional style, when you take a section of hair and cut it straight or in an angle. Scene hairstyles are usually cut with focusing more on the hair line created by hair ends. If you want to cut your bangs in a scene style take a piece of hair, hold the razor comb a little above the desired bangs length and steer it down in few sharp movements. Keep the razor comb angled, because scene haircuts usually consists of cascade-like layered hair, shorter in one point (usually on the left or right side of the forehead) and smoothly descending to the longest part (usually hair in the back of the head). With razor comb you can create very wispy hairstyle, cutting only hair ends and styling them to desired shape and length. Remember to always cut your hair when it is wet. Much easier to manage, damp hair ends are also less exposed to damage.
