Andis How-To: 5 Cuts for Textured Hair

Andis Company has released the second volume of FLUID, an Andis Hair Tech Publication, Embracing Heritage & the Natural Beauty of Multi-Cultural Textured Hair. The five looks were created by Andis Creative Leads and International Educators, Eric Cheek and Kenny Duncan, using Andis tools including the newest releases, the Slimline Pro GTX Trimmer and the Copper ProFoil Shaver. 

“FLUID Volume Two is a collection of five looks designed to celebrate the heritage and natural beauty of multi-cultural textured hair,” says Angie Perino, Managing Director for FLUID and Global Education Manager for Andis Company. “Kenny and Eric are world renowned for their talent and skills as educators within the beauty and barber industry. They did an incredible job of creating looks that allow learners to expand their skillset, preparing them to service any type of hair pattern they encounter. Their creative techniques will inspire the industry to continue reaching for its fullest potential.” 

The publication includes step-by-step guides on how to achieve each look, including the tool for each step, suggested techniques, and tips for perfecting the cut. For barbers and stylists who may be less experienced with textured hair, the book also contains a hair pattern terminology guide, outlining the types of hair by size and pattern, along with other terms commonly used when cutting and styling hair.
