Half-Hawk: Dare or not?

We're putting on the new half-hawk trend. Heads of new trends, many celebrities have adopted this ultra-sharp cut, but even if you can camouflage the shaved part with the lengths, arriving at the office with a half-hawk is often delicate. We can opt for a soft version, that decrypts Vanessa Giani, head of the training center Jean-Louis David.

Half-hawk: inspired by an ancestral hairstyle revisited

The half-hawk is a hairstyle inspired by the haircuts of a tribe of American Indians. It consists of wearing one side of the head shaved and wearing the long hair of the other. Contrary to popular belief, the half-hawk was not invented by the punks in the 1980s, they reappropriated a cup adopted by American soldiers during the Second World War. If Rihanna dared the half-hawk on very short hair, the version of Alice Dellal or Cher Lloyd on long hair is softer. One can always arrange with the lengths to camouflage the shaved part by adopting the stripe in the middle, but one thinks well before jumping the pace.

Half-hawk: We dare, we shave

If you're looking for an ultra-trendy cut, the half-hawk is for us. However, to assume this cutting very sharp, you have to be ultra-stylish and trend-oriented. The half-hawk is encountered on young people, who can assume this extrovert style and a little marginal. We understand, the half-hawk is in total look! On the other hand, it goes to all forms of face, because, as specified Vanessa Giani, the material is on the other side of the face. It is very nice when we wear hair to shoulders or long.

To realize it, one does not take too many risks and one speaks to him to his hairdresser. If he agrees to make a half-hawk cut, he will mark the area to be shaved, about a quarter of the head. You have to cut very short to get a good result. The hairdresser will practice cutting to the lawnmower, less aggressive to the hair. For example, Jean-Louis David, Jean-Claude Biguine or Mod's Hair, who will make the cut on demand. For the interview, we do not show too reckless and we regularly return to his hairdresser, not to be tempted to widen the shaved area.

"The most delicate in this half-hawk cup is the regrowth," insists Vanessa Giani. The hair is very long to repel, it takes about two years to find a real length. During this ungrateful period (especially if you have curly or curly hair), the best technique is to adopt the stripe in the middle and thus camouflage the shaved part of the skull. If our finances allow, we do like the stars and we offer extensions for a return to normal faster. Otherwise, one arms oneself with patience.

Half-hawk: We do not shave, we cunning

To assume this type of hairstyle, one must admit, either be ultra-styled, or be a star. If the razor stage is too scary, do not panic, it is still possible to adopt this hairstyle trend ... cheating! To make a false half-hawk, one uses subterfuges like Cara Delevingne which was content with a braid plated on one side. For Vanessa Giani, adopting the half-hawk means being ready to wear it on a daily basis. If one assumes it only half, it is better to distract the concept. Less radical than the shaved cut, the fake half-hawk is worn both day and night. For the day, one opts for the version braid, chic and bohemian; for the evening, we combine two tendencies, the wet effect and the halk hawk, smoothing and plating one side of the hair and bringing the lengths in cascade on the opposite shoulder.
