Haircut Transformation Peaky Blinders Style

Sam, what were you gon na do uh? Can i get something like that, so, like a zero, zero kind of, and not quite a fade, it's kind of a bit rough? Isn'T it yeah yeah quite high yeah, so you want to go like a we. We would call that a high and tight yeah high and tight he's got just one guard there, but what i'd be tempted to do is taper this area here make that short and make that shorter, just like his skin yeah skin and make it into maybe a Half and then, if you want yeah what was the shortest guard that you were looking at really on the side, how short? What'S the shortest time, i'd be happy with the skin? Okay? So here we go zero skins, okay, yeah! So if we zero we, if we, if we do a skin, fade on that or we skin that yeah and then this is here not blended at all. Okay, so this peaky blinder haircut, yeah yeah, is really left with a heavy line through here. We don't have to leave it as heavy. As that picture, we can soften it slightly yeah, maybe soften slightly, so we can soften it slightly, but still leave quite a weight line through there can we see what it looks like with the heavy and then go for soft yeah? No, we can do that because we can. I can make that line quite dominant yeah and then once uh we've got that lining. We can always take the line out: yeah, yeah, yeah that'd be cool and then really this top bit. You want to be leaving most yeah, so i was going to say like kind of leave it, maybe a bit of weight. Yeah kind of these bits always come out really sideways, yes, yeah if it could come in a bit yeah. So these bits here you get like wingy bits here, end up like a mushroom yeah. Okay. So if i cut that off through here, yeah we'll blend that in and then this i'm just gon na texturize, it you're perfect all right. So just it just feels a little bit lighter, perfect yeah, so, okay, yeah, perfect, okay, my man! So i'm going to go up past the temple, because it's a little bit higher okay, yeah yeah, that's good! I like and so you're doing your masters in photography yeah. I am yeah commercial photography, yeah, oh commercial, yeah, yeah, well, yeah commercial, photography, so kind of more, hopefully, they're gon na teach us more about the business side, which is good. I did my degree in commercial photography as well, but yeah. I think this is kind of just the next step and yeah. Hopefully it's a bit more in-depth yeah and just to kind of specialize a bit more cheers. So what do you do over there? Uh? No, i'm i'm at the moment. I'M just kind of packing and kind of learning and then when i get a bit more experience, i can work up to maybe roasting or helping customers with deliveries and machines and things like that. But at the moment it's just kind of bagging and learning yeah. I'M getting i'm getting used to the smell of the roast roasting of the coffee beans. Now yeah it smells. Everyone says it smells everyone that comes into the barber shop. All says the same thing, they all say: oh, it smells like toast and it's yeah and it doesn't smell like coffee. No, it doesn't which is weird. Isn'T it like? You think that roasting coffee beans would be a really coffee smell, but it's not at all. It'S a toasty, yeah kind of roasty smell, which is it's nice yeah. It'S a really nice smell, but what's even nice is when you're packing you're, just opening all the buckets, and then you just get like whips with some coffee, which is super nice, okay, sam. So i'm just gon na i'm just gon na knock all this weight out through this back area. That'S your crown, and you said that's your problem area yeah! That'S the bit that kind of grows out yeah. It goes outwards and yeah very quickly. It starts to look weird yeah, well a lot. What that happens for a lot of people that the crown area is generally like a problem area for most people yeah. You know when you talk to people about these back areas generally, the rule of thumb is either cut. It really really short. So it's not it's not there. So it's not a problem or you leave it longer, so it lays flatter yeah. I know, but on your hair it doesn't lay flat, does it? No, it sticks out, comes out, yeah perfectly sideways and as also the more you go in on the fade, the weirder it looks on the top because it's like a more different, it makes sense. Yeah yeah, that's what i mean i'm seeing that straight away by taking by knocking out this little bit of weight through here, yeah i'm seeing that that shape just goes outwards, so we're going to have to just get rid of that weight through there we'll scissor over Clipper that we'll clip of that we'll probably scissor over comb it and then go through with the clippers as well yeah. So what i'm going to do is i'm going to push this center bit into the center and we're going to push these side bits down. So just i can just define where i'm cutting. Otherwise what happens? Is you end up drawing all this top section into the rest of the hair cut and i don't we know we're trying to retain as much of the length so we're just gon na separate that out all right sam so once i've knocked it out with it? Clipper overcome i can come back in and lay the clipper flat to the head and just go up nice and square that takes that that bulk out that weight out yeah this that it just gives me room to see what i'm doing yeah. So if i, if i just went straight up with the clipper, i'm not really easy to go up and then go in yeah, which you don't want. No, so what i'm doing here is i'm going straight flat to the head with the comb. Yeah gives me a nice straight edge, and then i can come in with the with the clipper and then just finish it off. Sam put your glasses on. I want you to give me a little bit of feedback about what we're talking about here with the uh yeah. I like that kind of yeah i like how heavy it is now yeah yeah. I wouldn't want to go any softer. Okay, that's fine! That'S great! I'M! Just gon na just soften this bottom area, like we discussed just because as it grows out, it just looks a little bit a bit nicer, a little bit nicer as it grows out just gives you. You know another five or six days, maybe on the haircut. I know it doesn't sound very much, but what if it's known with lockdown with lockdown, it does make a difference as long as possible. Yeah. I don't like this. My hair's. I always find it so like flat so kind of straight yep, and it just it's. That'S why i shaved my head last year: it's like a had it on a one all over yeah, i'm just sick of it, just being so flat, yeah and yeah. This actually will help, like you know like what we're doing like right now is having having this area here. Support this bit will help you stand up anyway. You'Ll get natural volume from it anyway and then, if you just use something like you know, sea salt spray yeah, just to give it a little bit of something i tend to use powder, but i always worry. It dries my hair out too much yeah and also it lays on your scalp, and what happens is with these powders. Is that they're great? They do a really good yeah. They do a really good job, but you must wash them out like you need to make sure you wash your hair more frequently if you're using them yeah, because the the powder lays on the scalp and what it does is it blocks the pores. And then you end up getting spots on your head, so the seashore spray is probably better so sea salt spray sticks to the hair, not the scalp, okay, so trying not to soften this line too much, because sam really likes this line. But i'm going in with a pair of texturizing scissors and just giving it a little bit of a softer edge just through the blend through the main hair cut and the side. So you can see that as we push that forward, it just blends a little bit. Tighter okay, so we're not going to cut any length off yeah, but what i'm going to do is i'm going to cut quite deeply into the hair, just every sort of other centimeter and what it will do is it will just help you to give you that Little bit of volume that you're looking for okay, rather than using, like texturizing scissors, all the way through the hair cut, because that can make it feel a little bit wispy on the end. So this is quite sort of blunt here. I'M just going to come in through here and i'm just taking out little sections. Okay, not that you can see what i'm doing, because you're glasses on anything right is that why you're looking over in the top corner over there i'll take your word for it. Look, i said: is there a burrito there and then this is quite a bit longer than the rest of your haircut. So whenever you had your hair cut last, they obviously left that quite long through the front yeah well last time there i asked them not to take anything off the top, really like a tiny bit, okay way too much right. Okay, so they just didn't listen to what you're saying yeah this front is quite disconnected from the rest of it yeah. Okay, so you got like really long. Then you got really short bit here. So that's what they did. What they did was they cut into this and then thought? Oh, he said no, don't get so we'll leave that bit long, so he doesn't know yeah, but you did obviously because then you went home and watched it yeah. So what i'm going to do is i'm going to pull this forward and i'm going to just take a little bit off the ends here. But what i'll do is i'm keeping it i'm keeping all the length here yeah? This is the longest point and i'm just cutting through the haircut rather than picking it directly up and then cutting cutting it and cutting it at an angle as well. So it lays longer, but it's not blended in it's not connected. So i'm going to use a little bit of um sea salt spray that we discussed this. You know about you having about you having um a little bit of texture through the top, you don't need very much. It smells beautiful. It does smell amazing. How does that say that? What what is what is it, what um? So it's, the it's, the it's bigger, there's, no there's no fragrance! What'S the fragrance, the four vices is the actual fragrance and what they do is they have so they have a different series of them, so they have like the gold one. They have a silver one yeah and they they have different fragrances depending on what you're into so you can have like. So if you had a big beard, you'd have a temple, smoke, beard, oil and then you'd have the sea salt spray that goes with it. It matches yeah and it all matches, so you would not carry you're not wearing four or five different fragrances, yeah yeah, because when you think about actually most people have at least three or four fragrances on their body at once. So you've got the smell of your laundry yeah yeah and then you've got smell of your shower gel yeah, and then you smell the smell from your deodorant, yeah, potentially, and then you've got whatever hair products and then whatever ear products, beer products or oils or aftershave. So you can have four or five fragrances on one person yeah at one go. So what see, what i'm doing so i'll take another nozzle off the hair dryer yeah, because the nozzle will help it to lay flatter yeah. So we don't want that. We don't want that and what i'm doing is i'm sort of massaging the root whilst i'm drying it. So when you've got a product in your hair that helps to thicken it up and give you texture, don't just give it a blast and leave it. Actually, you sort of work, your fingers into the root and the more movement you give the root area yeah the more volume you're going to create when you're drying it yeah, there's nothing quite like a fresh haircut. Oh it makes you feel safe makes you feel good. Doesn'T it yeah yeah i've been walking home so confident, i'm so good, using the corner of my detailer just to soften up that little blend there there we go sam yeah looks like we're nearly there, okay um. I want to put if it's okay with you just a bit of finishing product into the hair, yeah um, i like the facial hair. So i'm going to leave that as it is. If that's okay, yes, it looks good um, let's use a little tiny bit of the old money. So this is a styling balm. So i'm only going to use a really small amount, because i only needed a small amount of cake, but it's quite thick yeah um and when you work it into your hands, it sort of softens up yeah softens up and i'm going to put it in through The front first, i'm going to put it in through the main body of your hair yeah. Is that so you don't end up with loads in the front. It looks that's what everyone does yeah yeah. Everyone does this, they put their, but they put it in their hands. They do that yeah and then all their products here and they've got nothing in the back to get people with fluffy hair at the back yeah. All the products at the front and then they wonder why it was really greasy yeah, so work through the heavy bit first yeah. Oh, that smells amazing as well. Okay, my man! I want you to stick on your glasses. The final respect equals yeah, that's sweet, perfect and then let me just show you the back yeah. That'S really nice, nice nice amount of heavy heaviness yeah nice even line through there yeah it's enough heaviness to sort of show off that. That'S the look! You were going for yeah without it looking crazy heavy, you know without being yeah yeah, exactly whoever knew sweat could smell so good. I did because i've been using beard brand's new deodorant grab it at beardbrand.com,
