Keeping Your Thickness With This Low Maintenance Hair Cut. Easy Face Framing

Hey everyone welcome to my channel. I am summer for those who are new. Today we are doing a haircut tutorial, I'm going to be showing you guys, a haircut I get requested, often in Salon amongst my finer hair clients, we're going to be doing a one length. Haircut so getting this cut nice and thick and full looking on the bottom, but I'm going to be adding in some nice face framing pieces, as this is a way to really open it up around the face, while maintaining that thickness and fullness in the back. So this is a great cut for those finer hair types that want to see some movement, but not the commitment of full layers. So let's get started alright, so we are just going to start off with some good old sectioning. We'Ve got a nice side part here. This is kind of where I was naturally falling, so I'm just gon na go with it, so we're going to come in directly and separate ear front to back I'm going to comb all this back and then clip the front forward. So, like I said at the beginning, this is a cut. That is, I mean it's really ideal for anybody, but it's especially great for people with finer hair types. So we're going to be keeping it all one length in the back and what that is going to allow for is with your finer hair types keeping it all. One length is going to maintain the most amount of thickness and fullness that your hair has. So it's going to look nice and full back there versus where, if you layer it too much, you kind of start thinning out more. So I'm just going to be basically evening this cut out. It was a little kind of wonky. I haven't touched the length yet on the mannequin, so to do my one length haircuts, I'm just still going to separate into sections in the back, so you can split right down the middle if you want or just do one big section across, but I like to Take two smaller subsections just to keep it a little neater and then you would want to customize the length for wherever your client wants to bring it up or leave it long or if you are a client, and so I'm getting this done. You know let your stylist know where you want to bring the length up to so I'm just going to come in I'm going to bring this up about an inch, I suppose, and I'm going to be doing a blunt cut. So that way we keep a nice full line and then we'll just be moving up this back of the head as we go to create our base length foreign take our next section. If you've watched any of my tutorials, I always say, don't take too big of sections that way you can see through to your guide foreign we've got our final section here to create our perimeter and again I usually always am combing down with the fine side of My comb just to really pull some nice tension there, all right and then before moving to your sides. What I like to do is I'll Stand directly behind the client and I'm just going to pull both the corners to the middle, bring them down and make sure that they're lining up to make sure that the length is even all the way across everything's. Looking good. So now what you're going to do is you're going to come directly into your side if they have very, very fine, thin hair. You can bring this all down at one time, but to be on the safe side. It'S still best to work in sections just so you can make sure to see your guide and we're just going to come in see the hair from the back. If you want to angle it a little bit you can or if you want it dead, even that's fine, whatever your preference is as either your suggestion as a stylist or if you're a client, whatever you prefer foreign, just barely any bit left on this last side. All right and then I'm going to finish off on this other side of the head, and then we will get into the face framing and then again I would be standing in front of my client to make sure that the lengths on the sides is matching up Again, you would pull towards the center, sometimes even with a side - part I'll, even adjust a little bit to where the center of the side part is to make sure that the length is meeting up so to take your face framing pieces for your finer or thin Hair clients, you really want to make sure you're, taking into account how their hairline naturally lays because with me in general, I have extensions in right now, but I naturally am very receded in my top corners here. So it makes any face framing that I have very very minimal. If I cut into it too much, I don't naturally have really any weight in this underneath area. So if I remove too much of this, without my extensions in I don't have the hair there to keep the weight around my face, so you just want to make sure you're lifting up your clients, hairline and seeing how that's falling. Obviously, you want to kind of talk with them about how long or short they want to see their face framing pieces. We'Re going to do this in the idea of sort of like a light, long side swap bang where, when their hair is pulled back, they might have some pieces falling around their face, but definitely just make a note of that in the consultation with your client. So to do my face framing I'm going to go back to that original sectioning separating the front from the back, and I'm going to clip my back out of the way just so I'm not accidentally pulling any of that hair, and that way I can really focus On the front pieces, all right so now that we have the front separated from the back, I personally like to start off on the side that they part their hair to so if they wear their hair, going to the right I'll cut this side first and vice Versa, so again really determine where they're wanting to see that shortest piece for this demonstration we're going to be taking her just right around her lip area, and so what I will do to set my guide for the front pieces. Is I'm going to take like this little baby triangle so to speak along where the part is to create my guide, so I've got just a little just a little bit of a baby one, nothing crazy! If you want it again for just making it comfortable for yourself, you can clip out the rest of the hair of the way, if you're nervous about any of that hair falling in the way. So we're going to come down. I don't want to pull super tight. You don't want to do that, because what that's going to do is it's going to spring up a little bit, especially if they have any wave, curl or Texture so just lightly comb it down. I'M not I'm closing it with my fingers, but I'm not pulling it on. I still have this little bit of Bend here, so we're going to meet it right at where our guide is, which again, I'm doing it right in the lip area. So right, underneath it I'm just going to come up and point cut into that, so that is going to help me create my guide. So I can set the rest of the hair and put this push this hair over out of the way and go in now to create my face framing all right. So we've got our guide set here, she's just right at her lip. So when you are creating your face frame, the more you angle, your hands down into it, the more severe the face framing is going to be so somebody like me, who I don't have the hair underneath here. I would do a more gentle face framing, so I would start with my first section and I'll show you what I mean by a more gentle face framing, so I'm going to come in with my hands at an angle. So, instead of coming in with my shears and going back, I'm actually going to direct the hair slightly towards me and what that is going to allow is for more length to remain and also weight underneath to remain. Hopefully that's making sense and I'm explaining that right. So I've got my guide here. My first section. I see my guide here, I'm going to come in and, as I cut I'm going to be pulling this hair towards me. So look at all that length, I'm keeping there one more time for you guys. I'Ve got my shears at an angle. My fingers are at an angle and I'm bringing that hair towards me as I cut so she's keeping a lot of that weight here. So again that is ideal for people who are like me and a little bit bald underneath you can see here, we've got a nice guide here going, so I'm just going to keep adding to that. I'M going to take my next section. So if your client has a really nice full face frame, you can certainly angle in a little bit more if you want to take out more weight and often what I'll do after I get it dry I'll show you, too, how I go in and kind of, Remove a little bit more bulk, but for the purposes of envisioning, this is a fine hair client with maybe not the thickest fullest hairline, but they want a little bit of shape. You'Re going to want to go in. Have your angle cut and kind of pull that hair towards you as you're going down so that way, you're keeping that nice length and you're just going to keep taking your section as you work your way down through the rest of the hair. So I can see my guide here coming in cut as I'm pulling towards me next section again, I'm pulling with the fine side of my comb to really get that hair, nice and taunt and the further you go back in the head or to your section. I should say the less hair that you will be cutting even really once you get towards the back. I will come in just sort of from the bottom, so I can see my guide here of where her one length is and I'm just going to cut up into it again. All this hair is coming forward towards me angle. Those hands as you pull and cut so it's a very soft minimal face frame, but it does break up for a little bit of a swoop around the face, but you're maintaining the weight and thickness here. So this is where it is key for somebody like me who has these little bit of a bald spot at the top, because majority of my length and thickness comes off from my top layers um. So I really just like the minimal outer layer face framing. So I can get a little bit of a swoop, but I've got all that length and bulk down here. So now we're going to do the same thing on this other side and we're just going to match it up. So I'm going to take my first little section here actually before I cut I'm going to just clip this bang out of the way, so we're going to take our first section. We'Re kind of coming down almost to the nose is basically where I was before. We'Re angling our fingers coming in with our scissors and pull that hair towards you, as you Glide down next section angle towards you and cut while pulling that hair towards you so you're. Over directing the hair across the face, you're coming over their nose a little bit or wherever you're crossing over to the center of their part, the over directing is key. If you're trying to keep the most amount of length to keep that weight and again as we move further to the back, you have a little bit less hair to cut section here, Bring It Forward. I'Ve got this little bit of hair, I'm just going to point cut into that. So again, we've got a nice swoop here, but, like the other side, we've got some good weight and length down here. So what I'm going to do before I dry? It is. I do this with all my face: framing um, whether it's for fine hair, thick hair or whatnot, I'm basically coming in and I'm just going to take in small sections a little bit at a time. I'M going to comb everything forward and I'm going to twist and just cut out any little bit of hair, that's poking out at the top, and what that does. Is it just helps kind of refine everything perfect it a little bit and make it a little cleaner. So come forward twist and cut and it also helps add just a little bit of layer throughout the top. Just slightly more so we're going to finish on this other side, I'm going to take our first section come forward twist cut come forward with it twist got this little baby guy up here, and you can, even if you wanted to bring it closer to your own Body you can pull it towards you and then my last little check I will do so. I'M going to come in bring everything up over and just barely skim out any hairs that might poke out. This is just my own personal way I like to do it to check through everything I find that it helps everything to blend really well, usually, when you get to the very top, you have barely any hair to cut out all right, so it is that simple. So now I'm going to remove her back pieces, so we've got a little bit more hair broken up around the face here, but it's all one length in the back so you're, keeping that nice thick full look and then around her face again. It opens up. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to get it dried and styled, and then I'm gon na come back in and maybe refine a little bit around the face, if need be, we'll see how it's opening up and then we'll get finished. Okay, so here is our finished. Look. She came out so great. I actually didn't even need to do any like cross checking um, usually with the very minimal face framing you don't have a lot to go back over, but it just creates the slightest bit of movement along the face, but we kept that weight throughout her side. So those people with that fine art, thinner, hair, texture, You're Gon na Keep the thickness underneath. So that's why you want to make sure you are over directing the hair and pulling it towards you. As you slide your shears down that way, you are keeping the maximum amount of length and thickness at the bottom, be sure when you are creating those face framing pieces with your clients that you make note of how their natural hairline is falling. So you're not taking out too much weight like myself, where I will be bald. If I cut too much into my face framing pieces again, we did all one length in the back so that way, you're keeping it nice thick and full everywhere. If you wanted to create more face, framing simply just angle those hands back away from you, instead of going towards you to cut into it a little bit more. But if you're wanting to maintain the most amount of thickness make sure you're over directing and pulling the hair towards you, as you cut, as always, please like share and subscribe, leave a comment below.
