The Dry Cut
Cutting hair dry is not a new concept, as many hairstylists over the years have used variations of dry haircutting techniques. The late John Sahag is generally considered to be the pioneer in the the dry-cut method. Sahag, who advocated the shift to dry cutting in the late 1970s, believed that when the hair is cut dry, it creates a natural shape according to the way the hair grows. Dry haircutting enables the stylist to remove bulk and weight while creating movement and dimension.
Dry cutting is comparable to both sculpture and architecture. With the hair as the medium and your scissor your tool, the shape is carved into the hair to accentuate the person’s best features and diminish others. You start carving or building a shape from the foundation up, with every section you visualize the cut and watch it take its form. Considered hair couture, the finish is always unique.
By learning the techniques and concepts behind dry cutting, you are able to develop your own vision. The artistic approach is what sets it apart from other methods. You don’t learn haircuts, you learn how to use your hands and scissor to accomplish any look you desire.
Every dry cutter eventually re-invents his own approach to this method and that’s the beauty of it.
