Salon stylists must deal with many different hair types, preferences and sophisticated dos, according to Ms. Clark. But family barbers have only a few clients, and theres a good chance most of the hair types will be similar. For backyard cuts, the simpler the style, the better your chances for success. First, choose the right style for your child. One goal of a good hair child's hair damp, a good comb that has gradations between the teeth and barber's scissors Ms. Clark, who regularly cuts her own childrens ir. said there are a few basic cuL..,g techniques family barbers need to learn. Start by standing behind your seated child, comb his wet hair straight back, and with the comb in your right hand, an take a small section of hair from inch wide and an inch deep the center front of the forehead, parallel to the head Remember that the smaller the section of hair, the better the cut. If sections, cutting them evenly - you cut large sections of hair, the style is likely to look homemade. Theres no Tree trip, either - vacaGot a "free or tion certificate or package in the mail? From a salesperson0 Or from a telephone salesman? door-to-do- Watch out, warns the Better Business Bureau, theres no such thing as a free lunch. The free vacation scam or more can cost you as much than paying full price. The free vacation deal is usually connected to real estate sales or a new business opening. The offer inusuvolves a super vacation trip ally to Las Vegas or Miami or at a - similar resort area. At first glance, it appears you need pay nothing for the trip if you are one of the first to inquire about the service or product being offered in conjunction with the trip, or your name has been drawn. Real Proof? You may be contacted by mail, by salestelephone or by a person who offers all kinds of "proof' about the "valid" vacation door-to-do- offer. Almost always youll have to lay out a small fee or deposit $15 to for a hotel reservaor more tion before the free certificate is issued to you. The seller prefers a cash deposit. Checks will do, of course, but you can bet the check is cashed at the bank before the ink is dry. Either way, you could lose. Even if the package is legitimate, according to the BBB, you can be subject to traveling woes. Hotel reservations may not be honored when you want to use them.

You May Get a Pitch When you get to the hotel, you may be required to undergo a sales pitch lengthy, for real estate or other goods and services. Always inquire about any obligation on your time.

Cut each section a quarter-inc- h longer than the one before to achieve a look. slightly turned-unde- r s Simple For longer hair, the one-cu- t style is easy to do. Simply comb wet hair straight up, grasp all of it with your left hand slightly in front of the crown in a high ponytail grip. Cut all the hair straight across, parallel to the top of the head above your hand. Let the hair fall naturally. The tront hair will be shorter than the back hair, and the effect is layered and casual. To cut bangs, start at the crown and part the front hair in a triangular section, combing it forward. The triangle can be wide at the front to add width to a slender face or narrow to minimize a round face. One-Cut- high-qualit- y In the beginning, you may want to practice using two fingers instead of scissors before you make your first cut. "low-cost- " comb the bottom section down. Then beginning at one side, take an inch section of hair, keeping some tension, and cut the hair evenly across, just below your fingers. Blunt cuts can be straight or slightly longer in the front or the back Now, make a new section about a half-inca halfabove the first and clip the inch above the ear top section. Starting at one side and snipping across, cut the new layer exactly as the first but make it about a quarter of an inch longer. Continue bringing down half-inc- call the BBB to get and it can be information about the firms reliability. And be sure to find out what the vacation package contains. Does it include transportation, hotels, food, taxicabs, tips, baggage handling, coupons for sports, gambling, side trips? Most dont include transportation to and from the resort. Ask when, where, why and how. Also, get the name of the hotel where you would be staying to confirm reservations. Mention the promoters name. If airline tickets and rental cars are involved in the package. call these firms in advance to and check out the reservations don't use telephone numbers given by the promoter. Instead, look up the numbers or ask for directory assistance. Finally, dont give the company making the offer cash, a check or your credit card number until you're satisfied the deal is legitimate and you want the trip. Find out how much you'll have to pay, if the money is refundable and how you can obtain a refund. When you start cutting, snip the hair neatly and quickly across the section of hair between your fingers, and parallel to the head. With time, you can cut hair using the comb and scissors together. But at first, try using the comb, putting it down and then picking up the scissors for the cut. To make sure the cut is even, comb the cut section up, holding it with your fingers crossmse this time, above the forehead and still parallel to the top of the head. The cut edge should be straight and even. Always cut hair above your fingers so that the cut hair falls away from you and down. h Cut Try For a cut long style or short start at the center of the forehead, comb up a section about an inch wide and an inch deep. Hold the section between the second and third finger of your hand, fingers pointing toward the crown. Cut the section straight One-Lengt- one-lengt- h non-cutti- across, using whatever length you've chosen. Next, comb up another section aim di rectly behind the first, including a few of the already-cu- t hairs. Continue, section by section from the folcrown to the nape of the neck lowing the same directional path as a Mohawk cut. Now, return to the front of the head and part one side of the hair in triangular sections, radiating from the crown like spokes of a wheel. Starting at the crown, comb a small section of hair, including a few of the cut hairs from the center section. Cut the same length, following the contour of the head. Continue in each triangular section, inch by inch, cutting forward to the hairline. Cut each section in the same fashion, then the backmost section, always keeping the holding fingers pointed toward the crown, and the cuts parallel to the head. With styling scissors, trim the nape of the neck, the sideburns and on boys, around the ears, and the bangs. Blunt Cut's Easy For a blunt cut for girls, comb the hair straight back, then make a horizontal part all the way around the head, starting at the middle of the ear. Clip the top section up and Divide the triangular section into three layers, clipping back the rest of the hair. Cut each layer about a quarter of an inch longer than the hair underneath. For sideburns, comb the hair that will become tho sideburn forward and cut neatly from bottom to top diagonally from the bottom of the ear, aiming to the end of the eyebrow. Now comb the hair back toward the ear, and trim straight down. For young children, use a small piece of cardboard or a 3x5 card next to the face to avoid nicking wigglers. An appealing aspect of the process, according to the author, is that, unlike cooking, you never have a disaster so complete you have to throw it away. "Time will take care of your slips, wrote Ms. Clark, and your children will almost certainly forgive you probably in time for the next trim. hair-cuttin- g Teak DOUBLE DRESSER teak. 60" x 18" Reg. 498.
