Sectioning hair is important because it allows you to distribute product through it evenly, apply colour all over or blow dry and style your hair in sections. It is important that you section your hair off accurately so that you don’t miss sections when you are styling it.

When you are sectioning hair, remember that evenness is the most important thing. You should always aim to have an equal amount of hair in each section. In order to do this, section it off visually before you do anything else, so you know what you are going to do.

The best way of creating a neat section is to use a long tail comb. This will have a pointed end that allows you to section off the hair effectively, and to do it neatly as well. You can separate hair gradually and make sure you have created a neat parting before clipping the hair up.
