Embroidered cut removes split ends without altering hair length

For those who want to have long hair, cutting the strands – even if “just a little finger” – is usually a nightmare! But, even so, it is necessary, since, most people know: it is necessary to get rid of dry ends to ensure apparently healthy hair and even to allow the hair to grow.

But, for some time now, a “new technique” has attracted attention and conquered especially those people who don’t like to mess with their hair length. The embroidered cut promises to eliminate split ends and reduce problems such as frizz, leaving the strands more beautiful, without having to opt for the traditional cut so often.

In fact, the idea itself is quite old, used since ancient times when people divided their hair into locks and, with patience, removed only the split ends along the entire length of the hair with fine scissors. However, the technique has recently gained a new face, with the use of a specific device, which greatly facilitates the process.

Carlos Ferreira, hairstylist at Up Hair Make Up in São Carlos (SP), explains that the embroidered cut is a technique developed to remove split ends along the entire length of the hair. “The device used in general is the Split End Hair Trimmer. Apparently it resembles a piastra (plate) and the way to handle it is also the same. But without the interference of heat,” he says.

The hairstylist highlights that the embroidered cut has several differentials, among them, the removal of split ends, frizzy and dry strands. Want to know more about this innovative technique? Check all the information!

Embroidery cut: how does it work?

Check out how the embroidered cut works in practice, according to hairstylist Ferreira:

• The embroidered cut takes place in the salon and the client must arrive aware of the benefits and well informed about the technique.
• Hair is washed normally.
• The hair is dried and brushed, aligning it in straight strands, to facilitate the identification of split and damaged ends. “This way, we get a better result and the embroidery cutting machine can go through the entire thread with greater ease”, says the hairstylist.
• The hair is divided into sections to facilitate the passage of the device.
• The device, which is similar to a flat iron, but has leveling combs between the blades, is passed on each strand of hair as many times as the professional deems necessary, thus removing split ends and broken or “rebellious” strands, without changing anything. in length.

Ferreira explains that the durability of the embroidered cut reaches three months. However, it is worth noting that, despite the benefits of the technique, the embroidered cut does not exclude the need for the traditional cut (although it can be done less frequently).
