CityViewNC.com | 43 Even though she's always thinking about cutting hair, for as many guys who do come to Savages for haircuts, it can be intimidating. "I can never send out a bad haircut," she said. And even though it is a big respon- sibility to be entrusted with cutting men's hair, Jasmaine says that she is always herself. "We're women who get great respect for cutting hair." Tools of the Trade Some men run a comb through wet hair and call it a day. For others, product factors in and can keep a fresh-cut looking fine. Gels are an option, but they oen make hair flaky, crusty and "kind of hard," which is why Jasmaine stays away from gels and prefers pomade, which holds a shine all day and won't flake. And, if it gets damp, you can "re-activate" it. ere exists a whole spectrum of po- mades, anything from lighter, breezier ones to the waxy greasy ones from long ago that your grandpa probably used. Depending on personal style, "matte" products won't offer a shine, while most other pomades will. Jasmaine's brands of choice are Paul Mitch- ell, American Crew and Rusk, her favorite pomade being Woody's pomade. Styling cream is useful as a conditioner, but won't offer any hold. For curly or coarse hair it's good for de-frizzing and de-fluff- ing. For thinning hair, a styling cream will be more gentle than the yank of a pomade. Clay is another option, which serves as a tackier form of pomade and offers a heavier hold. Clay is best for molding hair. Savage Soldiers Savages is located off Yadkin Road which means a majority of their clients are soldiers from Fort Bragg, and these gentlemen have certain regulations for their hair's code of conduct. Military haircuts cannot be "disconnected," a term used for fashionable styles these days that appear to have distinct and separate sections. A military-regulated haircut has to be blended or formed to- gether. Generally, hair must be tapered in the back, above eyebrows and cannot come lower than the tragus, that knobby part in the middle of your ear. Hair must be off shirt collars. ey also cannot have any designs shaved into their hair. Would your family know what to do in the event of your death? Have you made your wishes clear?
