General Hair Sectioning Techniques for Men
Here's how to generally section your hair for different styles:
-
For Undercuts:
- Define the Undercut Area: Use a comb to determine where you want the undercut to begin. Usually, this is above the temple area.
- Section Off the Top: Comb all the hair above your determined line upwards and secure it with a clip. This isolates the hair you won't be cutting for the undercut.
- Prepare for Undercut: The hair below the clip is what you will be cutting to create the undercut.
-
For Sideburn Trimming:
- Isolate the Sideburns: Use a comb to clearly separate the sideburn area from the rest of your hair.
- Sectioning the rest of the hair: Clip or comb the other hair away.

General Sectioning Tips
- Use Clips: Hair clips (alligator clips or sectioning clips) are essential for holding sections in place.
- Comb Carefully: Use a fine-tooth comb to create clean, defined sections.
- Work in manageable sections: Avoid trying to section off too much hair at once, as this can lead to uneven results.
By using these sectioning techniques, men can more easily achieve their desired hairstyles.
