Hey pros crystal here from elite haircare, usa, so my client today came in and said that she wanted to fix this style so from the picture. That is what she wanted, but unfortunately that's not what she got. So today we are going to give her a relaxer. A corrective color - and we are also going to give her a nice rendition of that style as close to that style as possible. So i started out by cutting her hair down. As i was cutting her hair, i did notice that there were some areas where i'll just say it was miscut or just not cut enough. Let'S use that that better term not cut enough and then the hair on the top. I could see what the stylus was going for. I could see that they were trying to get to that direction and i kind of feel like they were maybe too afraid to cut a little bit too much off and that's common you guys when you are a stylist, um and you're, not really comfortable 100 in Shortcuts a lot of stylists get afraid to cut too much hair off the top and they end up leaving more hair up there, basically just not confident in the cut that they're doing so me personally, i've gotten over that fear years ago. You guys know i love to cut. I also know the difference between a cut and a trim, but cutting is is just a thing that i actually have a love for. So you bring me a short style, no problem, all right, so i'm doing her cut, but i'm also making sure that i'm not aggravating her scalp, because i know that i'm going to be doing a relaxer now for her relaxer, because i know she had on previous Color, i was very very careful to not relax the crown of her head because i did not want to overlap on what may be permanent color. After asking her, i asked her: did the stylist use a color that came straight from the bottle, or did she use something that had to be mixed together and if she said mixed together? That tells me that the stylus used either a demi-permanent or semi-permanent color? I'M sorry a demi-permanent or permanent color, not semi-permanent, and that tells me that i need to be extremely careful when i'm relaxing, because relaxer does not do well over permanent and sometimes semi-permanent colors. Now, after her relaxer, i wanted to go ahead and um fix the color situation that we had going on. So the the red that she wanted was not the red that she got so today we're going to cover her grace. That'S number one, but we're also going to correct that color and kind of get her to the deep wine burgundy that she was requesting in the picture. After her color, we went through and just finished out the details just to kind of clean up the haircut anything that i possibly had missed. This is also another reason why i like to do preliminary cuts first and then i go back and do the detailing when you do preliminary cuts, it gives you an idea of the silhouette of the head. It gives you an idea of the anatomy of what your client already has. Work was is already working with so the anatomy of the previous haircut, and then it also gives you an idea and time to give your mind a break to make sure that you are not over cutting or undercutting. That'S. Definitely something that i am big on when it comes on to haircuts. I like to take my haircut in steps, because you'll get overwhelmed really really quickly. If you don't know, basically where you are what you're doing with with a haircut so once the cut is done, she's going to go under the dryer with our elite, silk wrap foam, which is going to be the mold for her. And then we are going to go into the styling portion now because she does have some thinning in the crown area. I couldn't go too heavy on the crown cut, but based on the style that she wanted. We were basically going to do like a graduated cut. So it's going to start slightly shorter in the in the back part of the crown, and then it will get slightly longer in the face and also the picture that she brought. It did have a little bit of bangs to it. So that's another reason why i use the graduated cut, where her bangs are a little bit longer and just a very small amount of bangs. You guys not like a full curtain, bang or a side part no, and that's also where styles can kind of get hung up, because styles like that, require you to know how to graduate that hair and not leave way too much hair. Because then you can't curl. It or not have enough hair and not have that bang. So that's definitely important. Now the elite, silk, wrap, foam can be found and all of the products actually that i used outside of the relaxer and color can be found at elitehaircareusa.com, and you guys know when it comes onto the mold. I i say this all the time and i'm gon na always say this: make sure that your mold is nice and smooth. This is the foundation of your style. If your mold is messed up, you are going to work very hard to try to come back from a messed up mold. Now, when i say a messed up, mold, meaning you molded the hair in the wrong direction, so you've already directionalized the hair. You didn't lay the hair, nice and smooth. So now you have to go back and apply heat to smooth everything out some clients. You can't really get it nice and smooth like a relaxer, because her relaxer is fresh, but in the instant where the client's relaxer is nice and fresh, you do want to make sure that your mold is right. If you are working with hair. That is not especially relaxed and it does have a little bit of kink to it. Definitely take your mold in stages and mold it as you go just to make sure that that hair lays down. Now i'm using wrap strips to hold her hair in place because, as you guys can tell, i see a little bit of texture in the back of the head and i wanted to correct that. So now she's actually dry and i am using the h2 pro 7 10 iron. Now you guys have never seen this iron. This iron is the next step up from the three tenths of an inch, so this is kind of it'll be close to a one inch. Iron, but it's not a one inch and it's also not a half inch, so it's in between a half an inch and a one inch iron. This iron is good for those of you that have slightly longer hair shortcuts and you don't really need it. Super skinny. In regards to the iron - and you don't need a one inch either, so you need that in between. So this is your in between iron. For those of you that are dealing with like, i call it a pixie, but it's a grown out, pixie, okay, and it gives you the ability to just curl really really quickly. It'S it's good i'll. Tell you guys that this was really one of my first times really getting into that iron, and i really like it so then for my detail, work which is on the sides and the back, i'm using the h2 pro 3 10 of an inch micro. This iron is available on our website at elitehaircareusa.com, as you guys can tell i've been using this iron forever. So i'm super comfortable - and this is my iron that i use for detailing and also to straighten out my client's hairline to make sure that everything is nice and smooth for the style that i'm doing for that day. Now, if you guys are new to my channel, please don't forget to hit that subscribe button and please don't forget to also thumbs up this video. So trivia question you guys know. I started this trivia question thing. If i'm doing a shortcut, can i skip the mold process? If my answer or if your answer is yes tell me why, if your answer is no tell me why thanks all right, so i'm just going to go through and just kind of just comb, her out style her a little bit and then i also used the Volume that she had in the crown to her advantage by just kind of pushing that hair slightly forward, and then we use the rake to style the front of her hair. Now the bang, of course, is something that she requested, which is fine with me um, i'm not a super fan of bangs with shortcuts, but it really worked for her. So that was perfectly fine and then also you guys. I want you guys to just kind of take note, while she has that volume going on right now. She is somewhat fine textured. So that's another reason why i did not relax her crown, because i wanted that volume in the crown, but there are going to be times where, when she relaxes her hair, it's going to be slightly flatter than we'd all hoped for. I can speak for this because i have fine textured hair, just like hers and i'm always wanting that volume and i do not relax the crown of my head very often. But i want you guys to watch the finish style evolve, which isn't fairly too long from here. Don'T forget to answer that trivia question and also, as i said, if you haven't already subscribed, please do so and then, if you're new to my channel and you want to purchase any of our products, use code youtube20 and that will save you 20 off at elitehaircareusa.com.

Juicy J: No, do not skip the mold. The mold is everything! It's the foundation to the actual style and that is what sets the tone for the style going forward. Hi, Crystal! Hope you're having a blissful day!!!
JennG: Her style turned out well. Trivia question - No you shouldn’t skip the mold process. Molding is the foundation of the style and helps save time.
Pretty little Penny: Wow, I’m so impressed with the care and empathy you have for your client. You are fast and a great hair dresser. You really know that hair.
Brenda Hardy: I love watching you make those little curls and you lovingly give each one a pat!
P F: This video shows one of the most challenging hair clients a cosmetologist could get in terms of coming in with damaged hair that's short and also needs straightening. OMG, what a miracle worker :)!
L Rostic: This is a trick question: Skipping the mold depends on what style the client requested. There are some styles that may not require molding (i.e. ol skool scrunchies). Final result of her style/color were amazing!
CY: Girl you did a wonderful job on that head. That's what you call fixing a damage style.

Joycelyn Taylor: Too cute......... A great finish as always! The color correction matches her style better than the photo. Bleaching is required to achieve intense colors in many cases. Over time, the integrity of the hair is compromised.

ecatheatre86: Goot Mortink Pros, ( in my Madea voice) Ahh, the color red. The color that loves to SEDUCE us, then REDUCE us, lol. The beauty. Oh, the fleeting beauty of a crimson crown, lol. Firstly, I appreciate a complicated storyline, so long as it's explained to me, cuz I'm slow sometimes. Work with me Elite Hair Care family. So seeing, a dual process client; relaxer/ color I get intrigued. So many of us want "the works" on hair that isn't ideal/ healthy/ prime for a multiprocess single session. Knowing Ms. Crystal has special training in custom coloring and color correction, two different types of skill sets, makes viewing this video that much more compelling and educational. Immensely helpful to have seen what the client's expectation was ( in consultation BEFORE service) so I could appreciate how adaptive/ creative one has to be as a stylist. So no, the color/ cut was NOT a clone of the picture but the interpretation of the original inspiration was good enough. And that was more than enough and a lesson learned, as overly ambitious hair clients. I better understand why the color wasn't as deep/ richly pigmented. Why based on texture, she was NOT relaxed in parts but was colored. And based on her UNKNOWN color history ( permanent/ demi- permanent) Crystal chose the proper grey coverage formula. I've grown over the various video offerings to also enjoy the pre-cut process AND the split ends removal. My eagle eyes be ON IT, when I see raggedy ends in other videos, lol. Just talking to the screen..... Stay cool and air conditioned y'all.
Thelma Pompey: She look good now with that short cut crystal wen she first came in her was mess up boy look at her now she
Ruth Fisher: No you can’t skip the mold the mold help you start your styling and flat iron
Tracey Quinn: No you can't Skip the mode process . because it lets you see what style you going to style the hair
