How To: French Bob With Choppy Bangs Haircut Tutorial

What'S up guys welcome to today's video, so guess what on the channel today we're gon na focus on the brand new Maisie Williams haircut, yes, Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, but today what I'm going to do? Is I'm gon na break down this haircut? It'S a chin length or jawline one-length bob, it's also kind of choppy, and it's got a choppy fringe, which is one of my favorite parts about it. Okay, so the first thing I like to do is I like to go on Instagram and really see the latest version of this haircut. So when I got to our Instagram, I look at the very first post had multiple angles of this haircut, so it was very helpful. The first thing that I want to talk to you guys about is what a blunt bob is really all about. People see the choppy blunt bob and they think I want to cut it choppy. So then it styles that way: that's not what it's about a lot of times a style is about cutting it precise and then how you go about styling it with your hot tools or your products. That'S what's gon na make it look choppy, so you don't want to chop it up around the perimeter because then, when you iron it out, it's gon na look too choppy. It won't look. Modern. The modern feel to these blunt Bob's is really a really precise haircut and then it's styled and when you straighten it out, it becomes different than the way that you cut it, which creates a choppiness. But you still see that precise line, so it doesn't break it up too much. That'S one of the things I like most about this haircut and the thing I want to share with you guys the most as well. The second thing is the fringe in this haircut. You can see in multiple different ways how it's broken up. It'S choppy it's nice and skinny. Now it looks like she has pretty medium, maybe even really low density hair. It doesn't look like she has thick hair. I'Ve never felt her hair. So I don't really know, but if I had to look at these pictures, her bangs look pretty skinny, so it's a little bit easier cut to do on that type of hair. What I'm gon na show you guys today is more of a medium to coarse, thick thickness of hair, so we're gon na do a technique at the end, when I cut the fringe, where I elevate it a little bit, we cut it wet and then we go In and cut it dry to remove some of that density and chop it up. I would say more people have challenges creating this fringe on medium to thick hair than they do on skinnier hair. So that's how we're gon na do it today. So those are my favorite things about this cut. You can use this haircut in multiple different ways. You don't have to do exactly the way that it is here if you are not a hairdresser and you're watching this video for inspiration, I would encourage you to go to stylist locator comm. That is a website that we are launching it's all about connecting good stylist, talented stylist with customers like you that watch these videos so go check out, stylist, locator comm and if you're a hairdresser and you're interested in that and being a part of that website, go To stylist locator comm as well, let's get into the fun part, which is the tutorial here. We go alright guys. So, let's get into this sectioning first sectioning is pretty simple straight down Center back back to the crown and then what I want to do is I want to figure out that fringe area. So I go about 2 inches find where that curve happens in the bang area, and I draw a triangle from one point down to about the edge of the eyebrow or where that hair line starts to drop off a little bit. And I do the same thing. On the opposite side, and that creates that triangle section that I'm gon na save to the end and cut the fringe in that area. So it's just important that you don't section too far over on the fringe, because then you're gon na end up getting into the sideburn area and you never want to create sideburns on your client. So now, I'm gon na go straight down center back comb. Everything over and then I'm gon na work occipital bone over to behind the ear. It'S gon na be a slight diagonal forward, but pretty much horizontal line from the occipital bone over alright you're gon na notice that I comb multiple times to get that hair. Nice and tight from scalp to ends not just kind of combing it up putting in a butterfly clip bunching it all together having loose hairs flying everywhere. That'S not the professional way to work. I comb everything over nice and clean and then also notice that the way the grain of the hair is going the way that I've got that hair flowing every section I take is gon na be in that direction, so it makes everything quicker and easier and cleaner To work so cutting everything one length from occipital bone down just combing with comb tension notice, I'm using the wide teeth of the comb, I'm not pushing the comb to the back of the head. I don't want to create any tension when cutting a one-length bob, because the more attention you pull, that's, not where the hair is naturally gon na, live and as soon as you let it go or blow it dry. It springs up goes everywhere and you don't get a clean result so make sure that everything is with as little tension as possible. If you don't even have to use a comb like right here, I'm not even using a comb because the hair is falling. The way I wanted to, if I need to control it a little bit, then I hold it with the wide teeth of the comb just subtly, but again don't pull the hair from where it wants to live so notice. I keep continually moving in that horizontal slight diagonal forward way and I'm following now that line which is in line with the chin or the jaw line right. So look at the jaw line and look at the part line so notice that those mimic each other. I want the haircut to flow with the jaw line so as I'm cutting I'm looking up and I'm looking at that parting as a reference point to make sure that I get the cut that I'm looking for. These are more advanced ways of thinking like every time you do a haircut. You got to break things down even more like how am i parting there? How clean am I taking my sections? What'S the angle of my scissor? What'S the tension I'm putting on the hair? These are all things you have to think about to take yourself to the next level when you're cutting hair. So could you just pull it down and cut it? Could you do that angle without parting it in that angle? Yes, you can do all that stuff, but it's so important to just keep everything clean while you're working so that you get a better result. Every single time you cut somebody's hair, all right and then I'll finish up my final kind of bringing down that final section and just cutting everything once a lot of your clients have layers in their hair, so it gets a little bit less dense in the top. So as I bring that down, it took a little bit thicker of a section, but still just following the line that I've created from the underneath. So now I just repeated on the left side. Everything stays the same guys and now we're gon na go in and cut the fringe now. This is really fun, because this is a shattered fringe. I wanted to show you guys how to create this. My initial thought is: I want to figure out the around what length I want to take. So I take a little piece out and I carve into that little piece. I section everything else away, carve into that little piece to get the length that I want. As a guideline so now I can take down the rest that section I'm gon na pull it over top of the nose angle. My fingers at about a 45 degree angle, and then I point cut in to give it that shattered effect. So what I'm really doing right now is removing length. That'S the key and I'm gon na go a little bit shorter in the dry portion of the cut, but I want to remove the length remove some of the density, so it makes it easier for me when I go in with that dry cut so notice. I over direct everything to that center point. It'S really three sections, I cut the middle and then I pulled each side over to the center and you get that curved effect in the fringe. Now that fringe is a little bit longer than what I want in the end result. So what I'm gon na do is I'm going to style it now and use Paul Mitchell quick slip. One of my favorite products very light hold keeps the hair, nice and flexible, but nice and smooth and shiny as well. It also speeds up your blow-dry time, which is always a benefit in your home or in the salon. So I worked the fringe back and forth. I do a flat wrap technique. My goal with this is to make sure that I'm just wrapping the hair around the head, which you'll see as I blow-dry that and as it starts to dry notice, the curve of the hair that starts to happen. Naturally, now it curves around the face gives it a more natural feel a natural lie. So when I go in and do my dry cutting that's when I'll see the benefit of that, because it's already gon na have that nice natural fall to it. So, just working both sides back and forth the same thing in the back go one way back the other way that cowlick area and the top of the crown I want to do the same thing there, I'm not trying to blow dry that up and unnatural. I want to keep everything in its natural fall in the cut. Now I go in Paul Mitchell, flexible style, hot off the press definitely top 10 product. On my list. I love it. Heat protectant has a little bit of hold, which is always nice, but it's not extreme. So I go in 80 % dry, the hair spray hot off the press. Then I go in finish it 100 percent dry and then I go in with my smoothing iron and finish it that way. Now notice. I didn't grab my scissor to do this technique. I could I can use the tip of the scissor and work my way around in the salon. Sometimes I like to just grab a clipper, because it's a lot fast. I get this very similar result pretty much. The same result sometimes even better result using the clipper and I go through, and I just define that line on the outer perimeter. Now we go in with the fringe. I'M gon na do slide, cutting to remove length and density and start to create that choppy fringe. So the reason I took a lot of that length off and all of that at the beginning in the wet cut was just so I could have the ease of just sliding through here and really itching in that style that I want so just pinching. The hair sliding and cutting half closing the scissor slide it down the hair shaft and there you go that's what we're trying to do now. I'M gon na lift the hair up and I'll point cut a little deeper into it that slide cutting takes some of the density out and then the point cutting is really gon na chop off those ends and make the bang just a little bit shorter. That'S what I wanted it to be there we go, got a little choppiness to it. It'S almost the way I want it, and now a little tease cutting those. You guys watch my videos for a long time. You know I love this technique. Just wanted to remove a little density from the sides of the hair, add a little bit of layering but invisible layers just to soften everything. This is definitely a textured look, so it doesn't need to be so precise on the sides and I'm gon na finish it with Paul Mitchell. Hold me tight, a nice firm hold hairspray, and then I really wanted to bring this into a little bit more of a modern style. So this wraps a little bit too much around her face, so I'm gon na go in and do a little bit more of a technique in there. Well get a little little bit of the hot off the press on there, and now I take my smoothing iron. This is the Paul Mitchell Express eye on style, and I just tweaked it out just a little bit, so I put it in the iron and I twist out instead of around the face, that's gon na give me a more modern, choppy feel to the style. So this is one of my favorite things to do at this point socially, where the blunt bob is just to create. You can see how choppy it looks that to me makes it a little bit more modern. Now I go in this is actually a barbering product, but it's always good on a bob to what's good and Barbara is good on a bob. I go through it's a dry paste and I just add a little bit of separation, a little bit of shine. Kind of clumped together some of that fringe area just gives it a more texture and a fun look.
