Is A Calligraphy Cut Worth It?

Nowadays, calligraphy has become the latest trend in hair cutting. The calligraphy cut is a perfect choice for both men and women who have normal to fine hair. In addition, it is recommended as a hair treatment for split ends. This new technique uses a special razor, called a calligraphy pen, to shape the strands of hair and determine the cutting direction. Your stylist will utilise this pen to perform the cutting process.

What Is the Definition of Calligraphy?

Calligraphy is the art of professionally producing decorative lettering or handwriting with a brush or pen. This visual art continues to flourish in the forms of invitations, logo and graphic design, and commissioned art. This Greek concept of beautiful writing by hand is being transformed into exquisite hair cutting with unparalleled precision.

Who Developed the Calligraph Blade?

A German master hairstylist by the name of Frank Brormann developed the tool after being inspired by flower cutting techniques. After eight years the blade was finally perfected. The designer blade can only be used by trained and qualified stylists as an incredible level of expertise is needed for this style of hair cutting.

What is a Calligraphy Haircut?

By using the calligraph razor instead of scissors, a new hair cutting technique is introduced. The hair is cut at a unique angle of 21 degrees, which makes it stronger due to increased surface area and fuller due to the unique angle. This cutting process also ensures that split ends are kept at bay, as the cut surface remains smooth and protects the hair. It can even create up to 300% more volume! Your hair stylist will utilise the razor blade of the pen to create visible movement, without causing any damage to the hair.

What Are the Benefits?

A calligraphy cut will:

✓ Make hair lighter and easier to style without using extra products
✓ Prevent damage to the hair
✓ Give thin hair extra volume and texture
✓ Keep hair ends healthy for much longer
✓ Work for all hair types apart from very curly or overbleached hair
✓ Define bobs, waves, and the sleek look
✓ Ensure hair stays bouncy and flexible
✓ Provide a longer time between cuts
✓ Reduce split ends to an absolute minimum

How Does a Calligraphy Cut Stop Split Ends?

The outer layer of the hair cuticle breaking away from the main shaft causes split ends, resulting in a typical forked shape. How long the hair has been left untreated can be indicated by the length of this split.

There are many conditions that can cause split ends and these include:

Weather – cold winds, hot sun, and UV rays all damage hair
Stress – overuse of chemical treatments.
Hair products – using the wrong shampoos and too often.
Styling tools – at temperatures that are too high.

And there are different methods to get rid of them:

✓ Coating them with special treatments containing silicone oil.
✓ Using boar bristle brushes and high-quality styling tools.
✓ Applying hair masks that are suitable for damaged or over-processed hair.

A calligraphy cut is the perfect way of how to remove split ends.
