How To Part Hair To Cut Bangs

Hi everyone, Andrew Carruthers, your education director for Sambia. Today we want to share a tip with you on parting off fringe. It'S a really important thing because I don't know about you, but I don't love when I blow dry out my fringe and all of a sudden there's a piece, that's short, where it's not supposed to be short. It'S a little bit of a tragic, tragic mistake. So we're going to give you a couple hot tips on how to make sure that doesn't happen and we're cutting everything that needs to be cut in that fringe area. First and foremost, we got to set up our blow-dry just right, because we need to see what is actually going to live in the natural area of the fringe. Every single head of hair is going to be different because of growth patterns. We'Re going to utilize our artists series, polishing paddle brush and the reason that we're going to use. This is because we have a hybrid of the pins, along with an actual bore, hair bristle base, and the reason that that's important is going to add an element of tension to be able to control the hair in the fringe. So we're going to take the Sambia blow-dryer with a nozzle on it and we're going to start by combing it or brushing the hair to one side. This way we can set up so that we can actually peel the sections back with the brush, so you'll notice, the brush will go parallel with the grain of the hair, grab the hair and then peel the section back to the side by moving back and forth. We'Re going to help to break down the natural growth patterns and get a natural movement to the hair so again, brush it to the side. First get my paddle brush even with the grain of the hair and then going to bring in the nozzle of the dryer right behind the brush on a real human head. I'M going to go with a medium heat setting so that I don't risk overheating their forehead on the mannequin head. She doesn't really have much feeling in her forehead, so I'm going to go high heat, so we bring our nozzle in behind the brush and work to the side. You can see that bore hair bristle base in the polishing paddle helps to really grab a hold of the hair, to get a nice smooth finish, and this will also help to break down those natural growth patterns. Now you notice, I have all of the hair moving to the opposite side. So do I do I change the angle of my brush to be even with the grain of the hair take the edge, and I peel a section down and again I bring the nozzle in behind the brush. So we'll continue to peel those sections back piece by piece and you'll work that until you get to a point where that base is 100 % dry, you want to make sure that it's completely dry, because any moisture that's left in the hair will definitely cause those Growth patterns to jump right back out on you and all that hard work will be lost, so work all the way to 100 % dry. Don'T worry too much about these ends right now, because those ends probably are going to come off when you cut the fringe. So don't get overly concerned about polishing those ends. The next step is to find out where the fringe truly lives on the head shape. So when we talk about bone structure, it's really important that we understand that there's a structure on our head called the frontal bone and that frontal bone basically is what happens in front of the horizontal plane of the head and tilting forward towards the forehead. How you can find this guy's as you go ahead and use? Take your comb, take three fingers on the middle of the comb and you press it down on the flat of you of the head. Now, what we'll do? Let me rotate her to the side for you, so you can see this. We find right where that comb leaves the head, which is this point right here, and that is the beginning of the frontal. That'S where we want to part off to make sure that we have everything, that's going to live in, that natural frontal area and set up the fringe, so we'll just kind of gently part that off for now now the next step is. We need to make sure that we're parting to the recession area in a way that's going to encompass what hair actually naturally lives in the fringe. This is different for every person, so don't just go in and part off right at a specific point, a couple ways you can do this: you can just start to comb the hair into place and it may just show you a place where, oh, okay, that's where It naturally parts if it's not showing you that go ahead and grab the section of hair in that recession area and just give it a push up in the air you'll notice. It opened naturally right there. So I know that that's my safety zone, of where the hair is naturally going to fall forward. We do that on both sides, making sure that we're only having the hair from the front inside that frontal area and that will set us up to guarantee that we're not cutting too far back off the face and causing those weird little short hairs. That live where they're not supposed to be so again make sure you do a nice blow-dry to create your setup, get the hair into a really nice natural movement. Second step is find the frontal by placing the comb on it that flatter part of the head. With three fingers and see where it lifts and then go ahead and find that corner and find where it naturally splits in that recession area, if you do those three steps, we guarantee you're going to have better setup for those beautiful fringes that you love to create.
