Hi, I'm Daniel Rob, hair stylist from Los Angeles, California. Today, I'm going to show you how to cut layers into short hair. So when I decide to layer short hair, the first thing I think of is where am I going to part the hair or where is the client going to part their hair, which side they're going to wear the hair to once? I'Ve decided that then I'll move on to deciding how short I want the layers to be, in this case, I'm going to cut layers that are on the longer side, so that the hair has some more width and volume rather than a tighter, shorter cropped. Look closer to the head: next, I'm going to start the cutting and usually what I like to do is start at the front of the face and the hairline and work my way around the head. So I make a guide with the first section of hair and I bring the hair up and trim off the piece that I need to start. Creating the line or the guide that I'm going to use to put my layers in then I make another parting and another section of hair, and I lift the hair up again and I trim off just enough here. So I get that balanced layer that I'm looking to have so I'm moving around the head. I take a section, lift the hair up to where I see the ends that I want to cut and trim those pieces off. The nice thing about this is that you can take off any dry ends without cutting the hair, too short and still get a beautifully lightly layered style that gives the clients a little bit more lift in their hair rather than having it hang all one length to This point I've been layering the hair and trimming off the ends by bringing the hair upwards, but you might have asked yourself: why isn't he trimming any of the hair below the occipital bone or this level here? If the client is if their hair is in good shape, you can let that hair drop out, because that's what creates the layered effect. But if you want to trim off any dry ends in this back area, you can easily move down the head like I'm doing here and just trim off the little bits. Just a little ends just to ensure that you've done a complete haircut taking off any dry split ends. If your client has them, if they don't, there isn't any need to do that, but that is an option. So you may have noticed that I started on the left side of the head - that's actually just where I naturally go to. First, you can start on any side of the head that you want whatever's comfortable for you. I could have done the same cut starting on the right side. I think, generally, if the hair is a side part, it's easier to start on the side that has less hair moving around to the side that has more. But if it's a middle part, you can start on either side and easily get a nice balanced. Look. So now that you're done putting your layers in short hair, it should be an absolute snap to blow-dry and your client should be thrilled with the end result.

Dare to Love: Perfect this is exactly what I want done to my hair. Thanks for sharing:)

Jeepergirl: loved your video, please do more as you are an excellent teacher!

Cindi Silvestri: I really would have liked to see the finished product. My hair is exactly that length and now I have no idea what it would look like.

fowfhaha: Coming from one hair stylist to another I would suggest if you are standing behind the client on the left side while doing your layers then you should also stand behind on the right side. Do not stand in front on the right and behind on the left because you will gravitate to pulling the layers forward instead of slightly back and straight out from the head. Also you should be using the mirror. So you should do the same on the right side standing behind. Other than that good. :)

Mr Brightside: I'm freaking out right now cuz I have a test cut tomorrow. And you are so calming! Thank you so much!

Nakayla Renee: This helped a lot, I'm in beauty school and this helped me better understand it so much!!

samanthamafa: Just wondering, I have kind of curly and wavy hair so how would you suggest I cut it? Dry and straightened or just go for it wet?? Thank you :) xxx

JennyM: Great tutorial. You should have your own channel.

Juunana: I cut my hair yesterday.. I remembered the hair dresser cut my hair like that.. so I tried it just like that.. It's very effective.. so this way is a really good one!!

Emma M: hey!! wow you are a great hairdresser! wow thank you, you taught me so much on cutting hair!!

lucy rosevelt: ok folks, for the record this isn't a layered cut - it's called - listen carefully Rob" an all over trim. He knows it too. That's why he didn't show the end result. Even blown out it would have looked like short, flat hair :(

Evelyn Reyes: I love it it was fabulous

Trista Miller: I know this is how most places cut my hair, I just couldn't find a video showing it. I am trying to get a stylist position and have to demonstrate a haircut. Enjoyed this video.

Raychella Hines: Just did this to my hair. thanks!

Kayla Watson: That is technically medium hair. And if you want volume at the crown, you will want shorter layers, longer layers dont create volume like this guy states, because longer hair gets weighed down. So as the crowd get shorter layers (:

Green Eyes Racy Fox: Nicely explained and not a bad looking guy!

angela westbrooks: Thank you! Usally cutting videos are really hard for me to understand.

cincincincin: Would've loved to see the final results :(

Sheri Jatzlau: Not showing the end result makes me think it wasn't a good result.

Papa mayele tv: nice job Daniel Robb I really enjoyed it

Kayla Watson: Not yet, im in school to become one though! And your welcome, hopefully you get someone who can get your hair cut right!! :)

talkingmonkeymere: You are such a doll. Love the tips.

Nancy Ann: This is just what I needed to have my sister cut my hair. Why complain about him? He did a great job and I learned a lot from this video. As far as the woman in the chair, I would at least have put some makeup on, like a concealer and mascara. Rob is so handsome. And he can double for Chris Botti.

mmagruder67: Thank you for posting this

Gigi Davis: I wouldn't call that short hair. I have a pixie cut..now that is short and I love it. Please do a video in how to style short hair for more volume!! Thanks !!!
