Learn Cutting & Styling Tips | Long Layered Haircut For Women | Easy Bangs Haircut

And now we're going to get into a quick haircut and some styling that i find is really relatable to behind the chair um. As i was saying one of my best one of the benefits of getting to work backstage and on set. Is you really have to work very quickly? Usually the most common complaint from everybody is that the hair stylist takes too long. So you have to kind of know where to go. So we were speaking a little bit before about expectations and, as i take a profile parting through this hair, the expectations that are on us are greater than ever before and we are expected to be creative. Keep a business do all of these things. So in the crux of your work, we're going to kind of define what is your work and what is that differentiation that makes you who you are welcome uk welcome everybody long beach, what's up how's everybody doing today, whether night, nor morning evening noon whatever welcome. So one of the biggest trends that we're seeing in our industry right now is the heavily layered area, through the face whether we leave the length in the back or on the sides, and how do we approach it differently for each client? So what we're going to do is we're going to take a diagonal back parting from the second curvature of the head to the top of the ear we're going to isolate that on both sides, and this is going to be our face framing. So this is something that i'm finding. That is a great set up to the beginning of my haircuts. Now one of my first mentors in the industry, right as i was joining loyal professional 12 12 and a half years ago, always said that you can start a haircut anywhere in the face or on the head and end up with the same result. Once you know what you're doing the hardest part about, that is really kind of seeing and understanding hair welcome from ireland karen short hairs, i mean you want short hair because we're going to do some short hair in the crux of your work and april 18th. 2020. 22. - i don't even know what year it is right now, so we're going to start and everything's gon na be built off the face. Framing we normally start haircuts where, in the very back so we're gon na drag the shortest piece in the center over to the side and we're gon na cut it at about hollow of the cheekbone. We'Re then, going to drag all of the hair, we're going to push the head back away from us, which is going to lower our elevation and, of course, i'm using the crux comb. Today. Being the creator and owner of crux, i felt a need in the industry for a bigger connection to the tools that we use and i'm working on continuously bringing the essentials to us. So we're working from this bottom corner here we're working with our existing length and i'm going to go through and i'm going to cut up to that short piece. I just created notice, i'm not following my finger angle visually laying that line in so if we retrace what we just did there we're going to take all of that hair down and refine that angle going up. The key here is to have hair between our fingers and our scissors right there to keep that corner. Most of us do this, and this is okay, we come in and we cut and we drag in between our hands and our head or hands in the head. But the hard part is that if our scissors are horizontal they're going to go this way, the whole purpose of starting the haircut in the front is shifting how we work. So in the crux of your work and defining who you are as an artist and getting creative outside of our day-to-day busy schedules, especially with the holidays, coming up, how do we choose to work as an artist and we're taking a little piece from the opposite side? Matching it to that length and in the class we're going to kind of explore different alternate routes and options of creating our work. So right now we're starting with where most people end haircuts we're starting with the very front, and i always found it to be hard. How do we start a haircut in the back every time when most of our clients are more particular about the length at the front? So again, by dragging all of this hairline hair across into the center cutting up keeping that arrow of hair between my fingers and the scissors we're keeping that corner now, our base for our front and our face framing is cut. So, for those of you just joining us welcome, my name is drew schaefer, brooklyn-based hairstylist here in the studio, l'oreal professional artist, working with tech, new york products. Today, we already have set a mannequin with some hot rollers to build some curl and texture and shape, and we're going to continue to build that up in just a second, what's up suzie how you doing so as we continue working this face frame shape. I'M talking to my client about how they're styling their hair day to day one of the biggest things that i'm finding give me a shout out. Let me know if you guys are finding the same thing. Clients are either wanting a complete, polished, look again or they're wanting absolutely nothing. The beach wave trend is still in, but it's on the way out, so it's more about how can we give clients better hair with doing less or given them the full monty, as i'm dragging this hair towards the face cutting my perimeter that i've already laid in Around the face, the outside of my comb is sweeping, making a c shaping and i'm laying my palm flat. You can see i'm cutting that baseline or on the face framing up to my shortest point which we already established at the beginning. So that's keeping! Let me erase her a little bit for us, that's keeping the the corner and the density in that corner, and so often we are stuck losing that corner this mannequin's not doing that. Okay, let's do this instead close up for you guys, one second, there we go all right, so we're keeping this corner by working from the bottom up now, the hair above the round of the head is always heavier when we work at a lower elevation. Why? Because it has to fall downhill before it gets cut, so it's at a heavier heavier spot. So i'm going to show you how we're going to go in and soften that. So as we cut and refine everything that's left over in the front half the head, we're going to take the fringe section, which is above the round of the head, we're just going to take and elevate that and we'll show you what we're going to do come On girl stay with me, so we're going to elevate this hair, it was cut of zero elevation, we're gon na elevate this and all of that hair past. My guide that you see right there is excess. We don't need that we're gon na follow the guide angle. That'S cut down here, so we're working with an inverted opposite, so it was cut here. It'S now up here, that's going to soften there. We go that's going to soften that significantly. Now we're building the client's haircut from their face, shape and again going back to the crux of your work: that's what we are today! That'S the class that we're offering april 18th next year, and it's all about how do you find not only your inspiration, but how do you change how you work for your clients, love that tip? Thank you dana! So again, we're taking this spot that was cut at a zero elevation, so above the round of the head, all of this hair is going to be really heavy when it's cut down here we're taking this hair, bringing it all the way up everything. That'S past. My little shadowed line it's not a hard line because it was cut at zero elevation. We'Re gon na cut that off we're softening that face framing now. This is the salon speed. I work with what's up matthew, how you doing brother we're gon na work still on speed. I'M gon na take diagonal back sections and just follow that same guide and here's the cool part we can take and follow the shortest guide and cut stronger, shorter layers into the shape, or we can back off and use a point. That'S lower on the face frame and work with shorter layers, which gives us a softer angle today, we're going to go for it, so we're gon na elevate this up using that shortest point and we're just gon na keep working diagonal back so section one came to Section two now section three is gon na come into section two so that we gradually build up a slight bit of length and weight towards the back. So i'm working on diagonal back in front of the radial pushing towards the front finger angles, matching the hair. That was cut in the previous section and i'm distributing it towards that section so that we get a little bit more length and build up away from the face. So it's just two sections three sections in the front half of the head: i'm gon na stand in front of her for this side because it's easier on my body, hello from oklahoma. What'S good midwest, i'm from st louis myself, although i'm here in brooklyn, now all right, so i'm bringing section two to one there's our guide. Everything above that got ta, go split. That section three is gon na, go to section two. Now, what if we wanted shorter layers around the face and longer layers towards the back, simple direct everything towards section one and keep a stationary guide check for balance? Our links are good front. Half of the head is cut and we have just now focused starting where we normally finish haircuts. Now we started this haircut for those of you that are just watching we're going to get back to or just joining we're going to get back to our roller set in a second. But we just created a look for our client based off of where our clients look in the mirror and they say i want my length here. It'S not always easy to start in the back work your way forward and then decide where do the layers start. So as the crux of our work here, it's a decisive turning point. The process our process was to start in the front, because that's what was most important, we know if we have a to get to b, to get to c to get to d. We can start with c to d, to b to a we can work forwards and backwards. It'S a beautiful part of learning more about how hair works so we're taking a little bit of our guide from the front in front of the radio, and this is how i'm approaching the majority of my haircuts here at the salon at rob payton in williamsburg. This is how i'm working in a lot of my workshops on the road for l'oreal professional and we're going to get back to some of the texture and the creative work in our creative process of breaking free from all the expectations and normal stuff that we are Confined to doing right now, because when you start to change the way, you look at things, they start to change and when we start to get more creative and we just experiment and play and figure different things out, even if it has nothing to do with directly. How we're going to work with our clients in the chair we're going to learn new things, and i call that collecting dots. Thank you for the angled cut and overdirecting forward. You'Re welcome diana i'm glad you liked it megan renee. How are you so i'm working in the back half of the head and i'm directing it to each previous section forward, so we gradually get slightly longer towards the back. The more hair travels before it's cut, the more it travels after it's cut. I prefer face framing. First, the rest follows i feel you aisha. I totally feel you and that's the crux of our work. Where are we starting? We can always start with what's tried and two and what we know to be true, and what we also know is that there are certain haircuts that need to start in the back. You know like a strong graduated bob. We we have to start that in the back, usually to get that to sit in right, so i'm not finishing the the left or her right back corner taking from the center back section. Brazil welcome. Welcome all the way to my previous section and i'm going to have less and less to cut off here, because i'm getting longer and longer. So if we take a look at this side with what we've just done, we've just created this beautiful long layered, with some inverted layering softening the weight creating a lot of movement. So i'm going to finish this other side quickly and we're going to get into how to style this. So i said earlier right after we set the hot rollers on our other mannequin that we're going to get back to. I said earlier how more and more clients are wanting, something that is low maintenance or extremely polished, they're kind of tired of the usual beach waves and that's just to be expected. Right trends come and go, and although the beach wave affects the cool girl, hair is going to be around, our clients are going to continue to change. So as i'm working with clients day to day, i'm using my my background in editorial and fashion to my advantage. So if we think, in terms of like an emotion with a haircut and that's part of the crux of my work as as drew as an artist there's an emotional connection to what i do you know, a lot of us have inspiration from so many different places And what we're going to talk about more at the academy at l'oreal professional in soho next year april 18th, is how do we take that inspiration and make it useful for our work day today? We'Re seeing more? No one wants to work, but they want to look like they did. Yes, susie completely totally agree with that. So we're seeing this gradient, sleek, smooth polish, very high finish or absolutely nothing and look great. How can we as hair stylists up up level or level up the amount of specialty that we give our clients each client special, especially in their own ways right, but how can we give them something? That'S special and unique for them. Thank you for saying. Most of my clients want volume, but not hot tools: yeah, not nahi. I think you're totally right. You know especially hot tools, given the fact that they do so much damage to hair. There'S a strong number of clients that don't want to continue doing that, so we just did that haircut in a few minutes. I don't even know what time it is at the moment. Okay, so we're gon na keep working this and i'm gon na show you how i work with my clients on their blow dry, because products is usually not an option. It'S usually a necessity and we're going to take some of the transformer texture by techni art. It'S a gel to mousse cream we're going to take a decent amount of it right here, we're going to go from the ends up to the scalp, and so this has a very soft lightweight texture to it. Now we're going to work some of it in the crown we're working from the ends up, because it's going to give a little bit more movement and i'm going to show my clients how they can just apply this. You know if we start to show our clients how they can create something very minimally, whether it's now, let it air dry diffuse, or how can we power dry it and get it really really nice and easily done for them? So i'm going to turn on my blow dryer real, quick hi, we're going to do high heat high speed for her, and i'm gon na tell my clients pretend like you're in a wind tunnel, just blast everything away from your face. That'S gon na start to kick all of these hairs in the front up and away so we're going for a little bit of a bigger bouncier but lighter blowout and, as this starts to shift in shape again. What we know is that my emotional connection to this haircut is lightweight. I said something earlier about an emotion to things, and especially now you know clients are feeling a little bit heavier emotionally. Things are looking good on the horizon, but a lot of people have been through a lot. A lot of people could use some up lifting, so everything with this haircut was focused on being soft and lightweight. Higher elevation softer fall so we're going to keep her in the wind tunnel from the front and just keep blowing things away from her face. Now we're going to get this dryer towards the ends now, as this starts to dry for us, i want to make sure that that root is dry. Now, here's where the benefit of working different elements of the industry help us hair stylists. We are so technic, technically driven and we're so habitual, we're creatures of habit, our techniques and our our foundations. We repeat and create consistency with it. So it's a great thing, but knowing what not to do is equally as important, so we're not going to take a big round brush to her hair right now, we're going to let this dry by pushing up and giving some volume and twisting on the side and We'Re going to heat this up if we're looking for a soft finish, but we don't want hot tools, she could do this and then let her hair just sit, as is we're gon na heat it up and continue drying it here. So, for those of you just joining again welcome, my name is drew schaefering, brooklyn-based hairstylist, here loyal professional artist, creator and owner of crux, and we are working on the crux of your work. So it's all about what is it that makes you as an artist who you are and by definition, crocs is a decisive turning point in a process. So with the crux of the work here is where we started the haircut. We started this haircut in the front by giving her face framing layers that are appropriate for what she wants, pulling her hair in front keeping the length as most of our clients do and then we softly layered. It graduated layers pulled towards the face based off of the length of the face framing and now we are giving her the ability to power dry and twist and heat that hair up to kind of set that twist in so no longer are we having to use A brush a round brush and then a curling iron to enhance it, the haircut's, giving it the lightweight feel - and this is giving her an added style element. That'S making life so much easier for her. So we're now going to take this front right quadrant and we're going to start twisting it away from her face. Can i have somebody type something in the chat box just because i feel like it may have frozen on me. I want to make sure that you guys are still here so we're rolling down, twisting it bring it towards the face and twisting away. So i hope all of you are still there. I think my chat box might have frozen because i don't see anything new coming in. So if you're asking questions or saying anything, i'm not replying it's just simply, because i'm not seeing it right now, so we're going to continue power drying this in the back, letting the front cool the same way that we're letting our hot set over there with the Hot rollers cool off we're just getting the moisture out of the hair after we put the transformer gel to loosen her hair lightweight, foamy, airy gel. That gives us a lot of volume and bounce in the hair. It'S not too sticky at all the other mousse that we used was the techni art volume, envy extra and that's going to give us a lot more grip, a lot more column of build up a lot more volume out of it. So last section here working pulling it towards the side and then twisting away so in the workshop with l'oreal professional. The crux of your work: we're going to be going over a lot of different approaches to our artistry. Why we do what we do, why we need to start haircuts or styles in a certain section, we're going to kind of challenge that and a big part of the process is figuring out your own journey. What works for you, as i said earlier, when we get to be creative and change the way we look at things, they often change, and even if it's an exercise that isn't directly even on hair, sometimes it changes our creativity and changes how we can work behind The chair so we're gon na. Let that sit. Remember, here's a pliable pliable fabric, it needs to heat to change and it needs to cool in that position. All right, so simple haircut face framing layers dictated the length and the layering. The length is just like most of our clients: they want to keep it. So we worked from the face framing directing everything towards the face applied, some of the l'oreal professional technique, transformer gel to mousse in the ends and in the roots a little bit and then power dried. It now back to our original. So for those of you guys joining us now, my name is drew schafering. If you are typing in the chat box, i can't see it at the moment because my chat box is frozen. So i hope that you can still see me and in this mannequin here. What we've done is we've prepped her with l'oreal professionals, volume and the extra moves. First, the thickest most volumizing building, mousse that we had in the arsenal, and then we took in individual sections and prepped it with lura professionals and finium. Three before we put the hot rollers in and again, the reason for the hot rollers was so that we can build this volume and let it sit the biggest difference that i'm finding and i find i'm using hot rollers more and more when i'm building a lot Of texture on set is because it allows that heat to sit in there much longer, and we get this out of it. We get a much stronger curl. If you don't have hot rollers, that's okay! We can still go in with a curling iron and create the same texture by wrapping it up the same way we did just without the rollers now had we not applied the mousse and the hairspray before that. The hair wouldn't have the same type of shape to it. It wouldn't have the same grip and build up, so the body is built up from the product and then the heat applied to the product in the hair, and the crux of this work right here is all about just building a bigger shape to it. We'Re going to play with it and just create shape, building texture and shape. So we have the option. We have a lot of options, we can go through and brush it out and create a wave set from it. We can build it up and do something a little bit more of an updo, whether it's soft firm hard, but even looking from the side. Oh there we go the chat's back on your passion. Prayer comes across. Thank you! So much aisha. You know, i think, we're all passionate about hair. Aren'T we but, more importantly, i'm passionate about getting creative with it and not being put in the box that so many of us get stuck in. That'S part of the reason why i started crux and why i'm offering the crux of your work with l'oreal, loyal professional. I think it's so important that we continue to push ourselves because, day to day we're just stuck in our own patterns. So much welcome. Irene welcome, linda maria everybody naheed. What'S going on, for those of you just joining we're getting into the crux of your work and we are pulling out these hot rollers that we prepped the hair with l'oreal professionals, volume and the extra the thick polymer heavy volumizing, mousse and then spray each section with The techni art and finium four, so it's gon na give strong hold, but it's gon na have a brush ability to it. We can brush this out if we want so look at the volume that we created. We just created a lot of volume and texture in through here, and the crux of my work is going to be different from the crux of your work: you're going to be able to take this and create something totally different, i'm going to take a wide tooth Comb now so normally i prefer to work with. Where can you purchase hot rollers uh, i think online. Now you can get them pretty much anywhere, so normally i'm working with the crux long white comb when i'm cutting and styling. This is the time where i'm going to pick up more of a wide tooth comb, because i want to kind of brush these curls out, but i don't want to pull them out. I just want to separate them and start to get them to do this. So, just nice and soft we're going to start to separate this a little bit and i'm gon na we're gon na create something more along the lines of what i would be doing for a shoot. You know when we talk about editorial work, it's all about being creative and it's relying on what we know to be true about hair and getting creative with how we utilize - all of that, so editorial is usually more creative, pushing the envelope getting in there. We'Re using this wide tooth comb so that we don't pull out too much of the curl, and if we do that's, okay, we'll it will adjust the shape as we go. Welcome everybody. My name is drew shafer for those of you, who've been watching since the beginning. Sorry, you got to keep hearing me say that i am a loyal, professional artist owner and creator of crux brooklyn based hair stylist and today we're talking about the crux of your work and how we work as hair stylists day to day behind the chair, or even Maybe not behind the chair, maybe you're in a different capacity, maybe you're a stylist on freelance and you're doing more of the work that i'm doing. But how do we stay creative and how do we continue to push ourselves and build things, so we built this volume in this curl with hot rollers using moose carolyn thanks for jumping on. I appreciate you: how do we build something new out of this? So i'm going to put down the white tooth comb and pick up my crux comb and, let's start to just use some teasing and some different techniques to build some shape the products in there the shape and the textures in there. Now we just got to mold it so now we we kind of take off our technical hat in terms of building exactly what we know and let's build something different, so i'm gon na. I want this to kind of sit out square, so i'm gon na take this bottom section. I'M gon na take the fine teeth of my comb and i'm just gon na start to tease this in at the nape of the neck, so that this builds out and we're just going to keep starting to work. The base of this foundation - and this is something we're going to learn and talk a little bit more about at the l'oreal professional academy next year. So we have a lot of different education offerings coming next year. We have a new cutting certification, a lot of color balayage french balayage, creative color classes, as well as kind of unique artist classes that some of the loyal professional artists have created. Like mine, crux of your work, where it's a little bit more of a free reign. Creativity, it allows you to kind of push what you do and do things a little bit different. So i'm starting to like this shape, coming out and again we're going for something. That'S very, very different here, we're not doing a traditional updo. We could take it and do that, but let's push it because why not? This is the only time we get the chance to so. Let'S keep building this shape up and i'm working very loosely. I'M not taking super clean partings just so that i can see what i'm working on, because we don't want to really pull the curl out too much. So i'm going to keep lifting the higher the elevation as we tease the higher the foundation of the structure, is going to be so i'm using the fine teeth of my comb and i'm really getting in there. Now, when we tease, if we tease from up here, we're really packing that shape in tight and if we tease looser, it gives us a looser effect. So, let's, let's go to the sides now, and this is part of all of our creative process. You know working with loyal professionals, fantastic i've been with them for 12 and a half of the 13 years i've been in the industry and we're able to push our creativity with the use of the products that they offer so techni art is a range that i Have been very close to since day one, i helped to relaunch it. A few years ago, back in barcelona, i've been on the team that continued to help reformulate and test the new formulations. So it has a uh, a close relationship to my work and when i'm working on set it's my my product of choice for sure, so i'm gon na actually get this to kind of come back, so we're gon na really pack this in and tighten it. So you can see i'm using the fine teeth of my comb and really going into that. Now we have all this curl we can still play with then once we tease it, we can still smooth out that top surface. So i'm starting to like what this is doing here, i'm starting to build this out, and what do we have to do with this? That'S, okay. We can kind of keep teasing it up, so welcome everybody who's watching. We are working on a texture of hair. That was set with hot rollers on a base or a foundation of volume, envy extra from l'oreal professionals, techni art, and we set it in hot rollers to let that curl and that texture really sit in there. Using my crux clips. They don't leave an indentation in it, they have the little silicone band in the middle. So, let's keep pulling this back and away from the face and again i'm using my fine teeth and my comb and really packing that tight, so coming from farther away and really packing that my comb is actually bending. As i do that earlier, we did a little quick haircut by changing where we work on the head shape. Part of the crux of your work and part of the crux brand that i'm the creator and owner of is kind of questioning the norms and as hair stylists, we are taught so often to replicate and copy we're not taught to create for ourselves. So as i'm creating this, i'm just going with it we're just kind of no expectations when you create, without expectation, it allows you to experience and explore and kind of find different things. So here we're just smoothing and that out a little bit we're going to be lifting this up and then we'll kind of probably lift that up in that shape. So this is something that you know this might not be for a salon client coming in for a wedding. Clearly, maybe it is cool uh, we'll see when we finish, but it's about exploring our creativity and our so process continuing to use the fine teeth of the comb and really building a high cushion. So i just teased that all the way up to there dressing hair is a must to get clients back. I feel you i think dressing hair is a it's a lost art for the past several years. Even behind the chair. You know most of us behind the chair. We know how to do a great blowout, but can we give our clients something different outside of picking up a round brush and giving them the traditional blowout? And i think that's the question and that's part of the crux of our work. What is the crux of yours? What are you doing for your clients? What are you doing for yourself? More importantly, that's something we'll continue to get into more at the loyal professional academy. Next april, so now this is going kind of a direction that i'm liking and we're going to. Let this this front bit here be a little bit looser, so that we can have a little bit more coverage of texture, so we're going to build this shape up a little bit more in the front and again i'm trying to be pretty loose. I don't want to comb all of the texture out it's in there really well from the volume envy extra mousse and the hot rollers, and you can see well look at my comb. It'S actually. It has some flex to it as we're teasing. So we're really getting in there, don't you wish all clients would allow our creative juices to flow yes, carolyn. I do, but that's the goal right to do something so well that your clients can't help, but to just let you go with it and whether it's a client in the chair, whatever whoever your client is right. So here i'm going to tease this a little bit differently, because i want to activate and get a little bit more of this curl so shape wise. Let'S see what what's happening, so we've got a lot of height a lot of volume. Let'S start to smooth this back a little bit, so i'm just very gently using the wide teeth of my comb and starting to kind of smooth some of this hair, i'm not worried about it. Looking smooth and perfect, i'm just building, creating and playing and as a part of crux in the crux of your work. That'S a big element that our industry continues to need is finding what it is. That gets your creativity going so that when you step away from your haircuts that we're doing behind the chair in the salon we're able to revisit them with a fresh set of eyes and a new mindset. So here's a little split right here. Here'S a little tip! So if we're teasing - and we get a little split just pinch and grab that and tease those two sections together - it'll stay together a little bit more okay. So before we finish the front, i'm going to go to the back and i'm going to take all of these little loose bits. We'Re going to go from the ends and we're going to tease them up and into the hair and we're going to be spraying. A lot of the extreme lacquer from layout professionals, the hairspray, which is the strongest, gives much more of a finality to it it's much harder to brush out. So we started with infinium four. It'S a great working product, we're gon na finish with the uh, the stuff that isn't gon na. Let it move as much great for updos weddings, anytime. We wan na make sure that that hair is gon na stay exactly where we put it. So again, i'm not worried right now about the curls looking perfect and i'm creating a bit of fuzz towards the ends, because we're just gon na really hair spray and get this in here and start to shape this. Thank you. Aisha, thanks for watching you've been on here the whole time. I appreciate you sorry you've heard me say my name in crux of your work 32 times, but you're gon na hear it one more time. My name is drew schaefering for those of you joining and uh. We are working on the crux of your work and what that is is it is an approach in a class that i have with loyal professional next year on april 18th of 2022 at the l'oreal professional academy in soho, and it's all about so, as i continue. I'M going to tease on this side, so i don't continue more teasing here. It'S all about what makes you who you are as an artist and why do we start where you start with processes, and why do you do what you do so these long bits? Let'S push that back in i'm okay with that we're gon na. Let this sit, i'm gon na kick this up. Would one of you type in the chat box what time it is because i can't see the time on my phone and i forgot to set up an extra clock. So i need to make sure that we're continuing to stay on time here. So if you would type what time it is for you and what time zone you're in i'd appreciate that we all love what you're doing. Thank you naheed uh hairdressing over 40 years and it's good to see dressing up. Thank you! Sharon yeah, it's uh! You know! Being a part of what i do day to day with l'oreal professional thanks, susie um, you know it's something that i do also behind the chair, but then backstage i get to do a lot of that work. So i am really lacquering this in with the extreme lacquer from loyola professional. This is the strongest hold hairspray that the brand has in its portfolio and again this is meant to set the style and solidify it. We don't want this to go anywhere. Part of the crux of your work is breaking out of the norms, so this is way more hairspray than a lot of us would use on, say a client behind the chair, but the magic trick is i'm going to take. Put my dyson on and use my tail comb and i'm going to start to press this shape in i'm heating it up with the diffuser and that extreme lacquer is just kind of searing and creating a little bit of like a cellophane shape or cellophane wrap to What we're doing, let's go from underneath kind of press this in using the tail comb, putting the hair after spray, so patrick, hey, you know you do what works right and patrick cameron was uh. You know a man who knew how to work knows how to work. Hair very well - and it's all about just manipulating the hair wester. What'S up joy, welcome, so we're gon na wrap things up here in a minute, but again my name is drew schaefering, loyal, professional artist, brooklyn-based, hair stylist and we're playing with the crux of your work. Today, what is it that gets you creative and outside of your day-to-day? So as this shape is starting to come in, let's now take these front bits we're just going to kind of separate them. So i'm going to take individual pieces, i'm going to take my white teeth and my comb and i'm just going to kind of backcomb. Tease it a little bit so i'm going to create a little bit of a softer, feel i don't want to see the hair as individual clumps. I want to see them kind of splay out again just kind of like back into the hair and again. This is all about just building shape. We built the texture in with l'oreal professionals, volume and be extra. We now are setting it in after putting in finium 4 in it and letting it sit on hot rollers, ronda you're right. It is a mess and that's part of the fun of creating is we are creating a new texture, trying something different and seeing what works and what we want to keep and what doesn't and that's one of the challenges of hairdressing is: how do we as hair Stylists experiment and explore and find out what works for us and for somebody maybe it's like a red carpet, client, a wedding client. This might be too much of a mess, but for somebody like myself, who does a lot of photo shoots and editorial? This might be exactly what is needed and if i never pushed it and tried it, i wouldn't know how to create this, and that's the beautiful part about creativity and hairdressing. Creativity is not a competition and art's very subjective right. You can't create art or create for the sake of perfection or winning, because it's all subjective what one person loves. Another person is going to dislike and next april 8 april 18th. 2022. The crux of your work: we're going to explore what is it that gets you creative and allows you to stay working in different ways, seeing things in new lights, for your for your own clients, susie you're right. It would be super easy to create a smooth version. You do everything i did just smooth it out. I like creating things that i haven't always seen before, especially when you get the opportunity to do something unique and different and again we're creating kind of like almost the way that that plastic feel would would go around saran wrap, would kind of like go in and Melt, that's what we're using doing with the extreme lacquer so right here! I don't like this split, so i'm going to stretch that hair over it and heat it with that extreme lacquer and then let's create a little bend right there, too, thanks matthew. So, looking from the front so from far away, we got a cool shape going right, not for every occasion every individual, but it's something that we as artists need to continue to push the boundaries and try different things. That'S right! Danny! Thank you. You know! That'S what all of us should do if we don't create something every now and then that looks unique and different, then what are we doing so we could continue playing with this. As we all know, we could continue playing for hours on here and we could lift this and create something totally different there. We could even try to start brushing it out and adjusting things, but this is kind of the world that we're living in for this shape. I don't like this little bit, so, let's take just a little bobby pin and we're just going to tuck that up. That'S the great part about once you build that texture and that heat into those shapes it's there. Hairstyles are sometimes not confident enough to be creative, too much commercial hair sign enough creativity, sharon. I don't. I can't agree with you more and that's part of the crux of your work. That'S my passion with crux: it's also with this, the uh class of l'oreal professional. Next year is how do you just start creating get out of the box that we're put in as far as the timing, scheduling expectations with clients being creative, running your own business, being a social media manager etc and just create aisha? Thank you. So much for joining, appreciate you so okay, last thing: we're going to do is: let's look at the waves we created for our client just by twisting and wrapping the hair away from the face so for that client that doesn't want to do their hair. We'Re able to do a haircut based off the face framing allowed us to get our layers from the face frame. We added built the length and the weight towards the back by distributing previous sections towards the face. Then we added loyal professionals gel to mousse transformer, primarily through the ends, and we twisted it. We talked earlier. A lot of clients are not wanting to pick up the round brush. Have that traditional feel all the time or have to do that work. So how can they literally do next to nothing - maybe even sleep on their hair like this, if they sleep like a mummy not like me, i sleep with my hair standing straight up when i wake up, but something soft easy with a little bit of light product Through there, the gel transformer mousse is giving us that beautiful wave super easy. You can do that from wet to dry. Pull those front forward pieces twist away same thing in the back. This is great for my long hair. Don'T get hot tools like danny
