Modern Bob Haircut Tutorial - How To Short Bob Haircut

Good evening, everyone and welcome to our hair braiding live takeover with slate education. My name is James Akers. This is the co-founder and director Michael Pitts. Ladies, what's up guys so we're here with Petra, gorgeous loyal, come on back quite a few years ago back in Australia, and we get the pleasure of cut my hair a bit. So the truth is Jane's been stalking her for a few years now, captain Clark, naturally, so thank you. Everyone for tuning in it's amazing, obviously to do another hair very much like we do every month. We'Ve got a really exciting aircraft for you today, but even more exciting than that. It'S a special birthday edition because we have this painting today, ladies excited, so as we said, we've got the beautiful picture of the other two there with us. So we're going to be a really cool haircut, nice little chopping bottle very, very short up to the ears and then a lovely little choppy fringe at the end of it now a little bit cheeky. So what we're doing is we're not actually going to touch the undercut. I'Ve just left it I like it. I think it's quite short, you know it's very severe in terms of it's right across the side. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to work with it. I'M going to make it almost like a box bob feeling where it's just going to sit over the top mass and shopping and graduate and then that beautiful fringing. So for me, because I always try and start the place that I think is the hardest. So wherever I think that I have the most make no mistake, I'm not gon na make a mistake whether they don't worry, but whenever I feel like, I have the biggest chance of going wrong. I try and start there. So in this instance. My thing that you don't want to make a mistake is possibly that the length over the front face or the length that the client sees the front is probably the most important party that she's going to be most anxious about. So if you just start at that point where you feel like it has the most chances, perhaps I'm not sitting right. So what I mean is if you start from the back and you end up in the wrong place in the front too short too long. It'S uncomfortable, you haven't done it right. So if you start in that place, it gives you a nice guideline to work back from sorry cool, so guys. This lets know where you're from we've got people tune in from New Zealand, Trinidad and Seattle. Hello. Everyone thanks for joining us, please like and share our video as well, so when you're choosing the lengthy like they know, mm-hmm, how did you come to the decision I mean? Basically, I think choice of oak is very important in terms of suitability. So well, you know what suits someone, what doesn't suit someone and the general feel of what you're going for. So you know if you want something: that's really soft and beautiful, you're, probably going to go for something a little bit longer. Maybe if you're looking for something a little bit, edgy you're, probably gon na die for something it sure. Obviously, Petra is beautiful so that we can get away with a lot of different things. So, judging by this is what I always try to do, is I always try and go maybe a touch longer than I'm imagining and just see how it's it's. You know we're very lucky as hairdressers we get to do things visually. So what I see is what I get so I can see how it looks on Petra and I can change it, and this is something that you know. Baby colors do when they look at the coloring, they check the target and they think maybe the turn should be a little bit different as well. So it's the same thing in hairdressing. We always try and visualize what we're doing so right. Now I'm looking at what I'm doing and I'm assessing as I work if it's the right length or not so I've gone a little bit longer than I think so I have the ability to go back in and take it a little bit shorter. If I think you could just be a little bit more dynamic as well, so that's it where the choice of Lynne is everything it's key once you're happy with it, you can start refining it. So what I did was, I had quite a lot of elevation, so you know it's got it's going to have a nice soft feeling at the end. Obviously the more elevation you have so, in other words the higher you lift the hair away from the head. The softer your line is going to be the more you bring it down the stronger it's going to be so by elevating slightly in that first section, it's going to create a little bit of graduation and therefore a little bit of a softer shape. Thank you very much Maria hi sweetie. We also got the opportunity, informally from Essex from Michigan from South Dakota hi. Everyone thanks for joining us week, thanks guys for tuning in you know. We really want me to do a big favor us on this one. We want you to wish James a happy birthday, and so everyone out there. Please comment, really say happy birthday today and you know, ask him what he wants: send it in the post, don't be afraid that you know any alcohol, that's flying around the house fight war. They can send it to London and be more than happy and he obviously, as always guys. If you have questions, please don't hesitate. We love hearing questions, so let us know where you're from let us know what questions you have. Let us know if your, if there's something that you're not quite sure about energy, did today in the salon. If anything, you could think of that, you want to know a little bit more about within the hair cutting world. So right now what you can see as I'm letting the shape stand out and I'm seeing how the shape works from the front to the back. So I'm keeping a very visual loop, very visual in this by allowing the head of stick out from the head. So you can see by taking these nice sections from the front to the back. It allows me to have a clearer vision of what I'm doing. If you take too many small sections, you lose a little bit the vision of what you created. So I think it's a really important point to make sure that your section has a beginning and an anger that you can see visually. I would normally for balance reasons, do one side and then the other side, but when you get a little bit more experienced for doing a massive flow of a haircut, you can start to at one side and then the other Dennis will notice. You know the old-school Sassoon guys they like to work one side first and the other side, and I feel you get a better flow from the front to the back. So, unfortunately, these days, a lot of bugs they kind of feel a bit too kinda back a bit too way in the front, because there's not enough flow between the front of the back. So, just by working this way it allows us to have my work, which I think it's very important. So, apart from the fact that you wanted to see where that line was instantly from yeah, if there are any other differences from working in front about as a post about your phone look in this case, it's it's it's it's much less because I'm working horizontally, so It means that the weight distribution is more evil. You can see when I bring it down, it doesn't really push their head front or back, but what happens is normally. They can work from the back you're kind of encouraging the head of the shoulder in the back and pushing the weight and the length in the front. So what you'd normally gets. One of these triangle shapes a line. Something goes shoulder the back long on the front. If you stand in the back normally, if you're standing at the front, especially taking it in vertical sections, you know tensed pull their forwards, work there for encouraging ahead to be shorter in the front longer in the back and encouraging the head is signal back away from The face now, the way I'm working today is very horizontal, which means that actually, the weight distribution is much more even and therefore I'm not really pushing her fat all back with my sections, but that's so the guys have got beautiful color. Does nobody think of the color and francesco behind the camera and he will be able to just tell us a little bit what he did to get to this to get this finished? So this is beautiful colors, I thank you. Francesco, you know, will steal the camera from a little bit later, and you know that you guys see the magic behind the camera as well. The Italian stallion is recording. We look guys for Italy, South Africa, from Greece all over America all over the UK. Thanks for joining us, please like and share the video. So, as you know, we have to say a good. Yes, all the Greeks out there rubbish of my Greek skills a little bit there. Don'T worry, we'll be teaching the team as well, so you can see the shape building now that I bring it down lovely little short shape in the front nicely comes to with the graduation worked it in horizontally, but as soon as you comb it down, you can See the shape how it blends in nicely as well so again, working with the under clap that was already there and we just work them through for those of you that are just tuning in welcome. Thank you for treating and I'm Michael Pitts Levy's. This is the gorgeous Petra. This is the absolute least I'm to invite. Is it's his birthday today, so you have to send him some birthday wishes as well. You'Ll send him his home address. You can send him a card as well myself, but that's fine in terms of what we did today. Petra had a beautiful little undercut. Okay, so she came in with the undercut. What we did was we took sections from the front all the way to the back and we work horizontally. We started from the front and we worked horizontally all the way to the back each time, elevating slightly more in order to create this lovely little flow. We'Re getting it so, that's it guys, so let us know what you think give it a thumbs up. If you liked it please we love technical questions. There'S no stupid questions only stupid answers, so that will come from me. So you know don't be afraid. Just let us know what you're thinking, if you like it, as we said, please, you know, give us a thumbs up and ask the questions. What'S been going on yeah, I mean all good kind of that as always crazy days. So we've got this amazing shoot coming up. You know, we've got this amazing guy panels, who's the photographer for in fringe magazine. You know, he's going to be doing our shoot with us on the 25th we've been doing castings all day today. You know coming up with concepts and mood boards. It'S going to be a really cool shoot, it's called by virgins. So it's a little bit of a play on these different characters. So we have our classic characters which are classic haircuts, let's say in classic styling, and then we have our characters as well, which are the rebels they're kind of like creative ones, creative cuts on the people who are like musicians, and things like that. So you have to stay true, you guys for the 2019 slate collection, it's going to be off the chain, so we're really excited to release it too and we'll be releasing it around southern international. So you know, if you guys are here in London with the southern internationally make sure you just send us at the end. You know we'd love to meet up with people signing guys Bobby. Thank you for this waiver for the question thanks. Well, they said what shape is your life, so at this point, what I'm doing is it it? Actually, it's a difficult one, because I would consider this to be more of a square just because the way it kind of sits equal from the front to the back. If anything, it's a little bit rounded because the way it does ever so come back because of the head shape, but fundamentally it's more of a square shape, because if we see the length from the front to the back, it works on a pretty square basis. So it's not a perfectly square shape and you have watched our hairbrained miles before the probably seen me do some square-shaped, where we really accentuate the corners. But I would say this is our rounded shape Sorrell. It'S scrapping, basically exactly it's a little bits ground. So so in my technical term I would say this is a round shape but visually. When you look at it, you might think it's a bit square just because it's not extreme, and I hope that answers your question, but they let us know that doesn't Kim from San Diego is asked. I'Ve been like the look pony choice and does that affect the tension use of your cup. Actually, this part was a very, very special part because it's stolen from the birthday boy, so this is the lovely James I think is current. I will actually be honest with you: it's not the climber. I would always use day today. I only like to use a much smaller wires Park one, but what I find is obviously this one is quite nice with the white teeth. If you really don't want to get much tensioning, so if you really want to work with less tension, use the wider tooth, if you want something with more tension, you use the finitude now. What you probably remember is that when you use tension, there's certain things that it's going to create now one thing that it helps when we talk about graduation is blend so anytime. I talk on their head quite hard. Sorry, that's right, but at the time I talk about, they have quite hard. What I'm doing is I'm creating the tension. What happens is when it goes back it bounces back when it bounces back. It has a tendency to blend better. So if we just carve that hair down, we can see that there's quite a nice blend within it. Even though there's an undercut, it's not quite connected just because of the tension involved, so tension is a great thing. So if you have a deeper graduation - and you find you get some wave lines in it, it doesn't blend nicely, try actually taking a little bit more tension so using the small teeth of the comb and make sure you have attention and what you find is your Graduation in blender, so if you want blended, graduation use a bit of tension. I hope that answers your question beautiful. We just do a quick recap for Jenny. Calls of clothes would love to start. I'M Michael Pitts, ladies. This is the beautiful Petra we're from slightly higher education. This is the gorgeous gems Atticus, it's his birthday today. So if you think that he should have a nice birthday after sending wishes, so we like you to comment and say happy birthday to James Atticus. Please do so a little recap of what we did signature so butch who came in she had this amazing little undercut. So if I show you the side that I hadn't cut, yet you guys can see a little bit better where the undercut is so Petra came in with this undercut. I didn't try him. I didn't do anything with it. It was already like this and that's a little bit growing out from the shade, and I liked it we're going to work with it today. So what we did was we actually took sections from the front to the back, so we just took our first section as a nice horizontal section from the front to the back. We combed the head down. We brought it with elevation of quite low. We put a lot of tension in and we just work from the front all the way towards the back, so each time lifting up the head - and I actually connected it to the undercut with my fingers. So I hold it with a lot of tension and connected it in what we then did was very simply took sections that repeated the same and as the last and they get lifted up a little bit higher lots of tension cut it in same all. The way across so right now, it's just a repetition sections from the front to the back and working through. So what's this created for us is creating a very, very heavy graduation. So it's not a lie. It'S not a liar when it's very heavy graduations moving up the shape and it's working from the front to the back. So the way it's getting pushed in the back and what I'll do is I'll. Just pull out a new section and I'll show you if that makes sense guys give us a thumbs-up. So importantly, guys, nice calm down lots of tension. If you wanted to burn and work it into your guideline, so I use my fingers a lot. If you guys are watching my videos, you probably know my little secret right now, it's not such a secret anymore. I pull the head down. I use my fingers to measure how much elevation I have against the skin. What I have in my hands close to give me more tension, and then I start to work through so this work. That gives me consistent elevation as I work across the head shape. One other thing I like to do to keep consistent motivation is I try and actually not take my hand out of the hair when I climb in the next century. So what I mean is my hand stays here. I take the cleaning, I lift it up when I'm here. I know that I have the same elevation and therefore I could just grab the rest of the hair so by actually not taking my hand away from the head. I find I have a much better, consistent elevation. There is a really good tip, because every time I look the time the light HOSA elevate a little bit more though it's just fear, so I think that's the two ones. One of them is actually, you know using your hand as a guideline of how much elevation you. So as that, if you can see francesco me holding my hand, there is just allowing me to make sure that i have the same elevation every time and what I'll do then, after that is, I will actually not take my hand out of the hair afterwards. So I have my hand measuring how high it is. I every time i comb my hand stays in until the comb is on my finger, so I comb my hand is there, so I keep the same elevation. So what I don't do is I don't comb with my hand, away and then put come back in I'll, always come and keep my hand in the same place. If that makes sense guys, let me know it was that late says: perfect puller, you can ask the questions because you're going a little high with each section. Do you have any tips on keeping a straight line? Do you mean just in sort of a lines at one length, or you mean horizontally like that? Or you mean like your graduation, or you mean the shape that we've got across? That'S no mean, I think. Maybe she just means other idiot to just cut a line along so did they learn? Okay, you see their arms, your questions before you even get there. That'S how good they are. If you have to give us a thumbs up or at least answer questions before that even been awesome, sorry, I think we have enough a couple of technical difficulties behind the camera a bit of a battery, so please bear with us. Thanks, probably just come to have a drink, so what I'm doing is I'm starting my second side, so what we'll do is for those of you tuning in just do a little recap. As always, I'm Michael, this is the beautiful. This is the scientist it's his birthday, so we have to mention the victory times he's given up his birth, that they can't allow us to give a further education laughs, we'll give him a little bit of love about. So what we did with the beautiful Petra is we found the one side I'm going to show you now the second side now the second side is exactly the same as the first side. So now, when you see this you're going to see the way I did the first side, so if you're just treating it, don't worry, you haven't missed anything because we're going to do the same thing all over again. So what we do is we start from the front and we work our way to the back. Okay. The reason I start from the front is because I'm hundred percent sure the length of its going to sit around the face now. The only thing I have to be really really really careful of is that, if, if I mess up the second side, I'm going to have to do the first side again, because the length will not balance in the front. So this is my perfect opportunity to take a little bit more time when I'm doing the second side and make sure that it's the correct length now. The way I do this is, I always go a bit longer on the second side for safety, and then I've always taken a little bit shorter. It'S the same. So if we look at a pentose, if I bring down the side that I've already cut, we can see that it's it's I've just on top of the cheekbones. So what I'm going to do is a little bit a little bit longer and I'm going to see how it balances the gowns yeah. That'S it loves the guns and everybody loved them from Serbia custom-made for ourselves. I mean, if you really want you can just give me a direct message and some downs. The vmsu will that you know marinas loss was the goal for this data on being today, yeah. So far as we said, it's a slightly rounded shape, but it's funny. That'S fitted what I like is affected with this haircut. If you wear it forwards, it's going to come in like products that heavy graduation and if you wear the back, it's gon na see this quite a soft elegant shape. So this is gon na. Have those two things where it forwards really strong? Wear it back nice and slow, so it's gon na have a little bit of a dynamic list to it where it's going to be a lot of change, and so we, like that whole element of change within it. So it's something you're going to be able to either lemare it forwards and it's going to be much slower, rounded shape, or it's going to be a rounded shape when you push it back off the face as well. So it's either soft or stronger, depending on how to style it, and I think that is something really nice, something that can change with the way that you're styling. So you can see that I just work from the front to the back, but I have a feeling this sides a little bit longer because I tried to because always we're gon na have a second side. If you do one side and then you do the second side, when you might not too sure, you're gon na have to do first side again. So what we try and do is when we do the first time we're trying to the second side a little bit longer check it and do it in two. It'S the same on both sides, hope that makes sense guys yeah. I think so Bobby just asked a question. I think he just answered it just to recap again asking how do you believe both? How do you balance both sides when you start second side, believes that second side a little bit longer make sure it's longer, and then, if we like this - and we can just work it up bit by bit until we have our balance so cautiously is the other Side, yeah, very, very cautiously, so what we always do is we know where we have a chance of going wrong. I think that is the beauty of having the experience or the knowledge is. I know that I can make a mistake at this point, so I'm just going to slow down and take my time in that area and then move on, but I know that if I take my time in that area, I can do the rest. With my eyes closed just tiny, that's perfect! That'S exactly what you always want to be a little bit longer on the second side and slowly raise it up when I first was qualified and first started doing lioness and I'd feel someone's head I'd end up feeling it really quickly and like being scared, they've seen It slightly younger on one side, but when you get a bit more experienced, I think it's actually much nicer to show and just take that time to show it a bit longer and then to go back and get your buddies. Clients can understand that when you're taking your time when they're doing things properly - and the truth is that, if you take your time - and you do things properly - you'll actually finish a haircut quicker instead of spending half an hour refining it which means fixing it. Basically, you will actually just do your basic shape and be done with it, and that's something. That'S really really. Nice is when you get the experience to just put in straightaway who start again adjust with finding that second slide, making sure it's the segment you know. I remember when I first started teaching. You know I had my first demo. I was doing in Sassoon Academy and I was just myself, I'm gon na. Do it so wrong everyone's going to notice that it's wrong and what I did was I ended up, not checking the haircut and so what happened when I finished was. It was not the same on both sides, so I ended up like the most wound up and I just saw that it's unbalanced, but what that totally straight away was the importance of actually checking and actually showing people that, no matter how good you are covered, you Have to check your work, there's no such thing as a perfect haircut, there's only such a thing as checking it again and again, so we check out it as we go because we're not robots we're, not perfection. We are just diligent and we just checked a lot as we go. That'S how you get a really solid haircut so from now on, I actually make a point to show everyone how much I check, because there's nothing to be ashamed of, checking we're, not robots. We'Re just trying to do really really clean haircuts. Dennis'S us. What'S your tolerance for the outside culture rich? Well, we try to be try not make mistakes. I think the truth is that, obviously, as you as you get longer or longer, the hair, you have more of a chance of doing things wrong. It'S much harder to create balance in the experiment when it's this world, but also everyone how to turn see the mistakes. So much so the short hair, it's easier to get the balance correct, but if your mistakes show a lot more, so I find this kind of an evening tool. So we try and do things as precise as we can and we normally get pretty close. I would like to think I would like to think in the middle, but there we go anyone. You can tell Justin Theroux pronounce that well, it's that hard to get bleached hair, even when, because when it dries straight, it's a good point yeah using the right tension. The same time yeah, I think the good thing is obviously when you are putting hair down with tension, you do manage to get a fairly good idea. So if you're visually looking at it yeah one side dry, one side wet is going to be a big problem, but if you are pulling it down with tension, you tell you together pretty good within the millimeter understanding of so what you can see is my section Works from the front all the way to the back, I'm just taking my fingers horizontally, I'm measuring my hello benneesham underneath and I was working in my shade. I know that the center has to be balanced, so I'm working to blend it in to flatten the back, and so our fingers are just working through from the front to the back. Connecting into this amazing undercut, we had so the resources are that the name is yeah. The whole thing was under club sue. Is I'm gon na cut actually to kind of behind the ears just straight across lose quite short. Luckily, for me to bring out a little bit, so it works into something a little bit softer that we can play with as well. So you can see that the section works from the front all the way to the back. Now, in the back, I've already cut the other side. So what it's allowing me to do is have a guide line from the front work, my way to the guide line in the back and make sure I'm measuring my elevation with my fingers as well guys. Thank you so much for all the questions. We love the question. So please thank you for the question. It was a massive favor. We want you to message some perfect messages to James. You know whatever we like, we got to make. You feel special because I'm making work on his birthday, so it's going to be some kind of benefit to this. So all we need said we're narrow road test Church easily. Do you take that into consideration yeah when you put a colors those girls Francesco, there's not too bad so yeah? I I do try and take obviously the way that that has gon na react to my fingers into account now, whether we're talking about blonde hair, stretchy, hair, curly and a straight and an Asian man, all of the hair types will react differently, and it's up to Us to interpret how we can react and understand so if it's very damaged hair and it hasn't been, this disappear - oblem, I'm obviously not going to put in as much tension as I do. When it's curly there, I'm trying to understand how much it's going to jump when it's straight Asian hair, I'm thinking about how much it's going to stick out or in terms of if I have a little bit more length, is it gon na sit nicer? Maybe, with a little bit more attention, I'm going to create graduation, so it's gon na sit in more curve. If you have agent and you don't pretension, it's gon na sit more stacked. These are all things that you think about. Okay, so did you find that this is just a repetition thing, a hundred percent. I think everything in hairdressing is about repetition and actually a lot of things in life repetition as well. So if you get into the vibe this, this is where I like to be one side than the other, because you have a better flood from the front to the back. If you have to do this, but most with him, do that in stock of the business your elevation in that would be the same. It will be very difficult for you to have consistency in your work. So when I was trying to do is I try very hard to make sure that the floor from the front to the back is good, and I have consistent animation from these Michael share. This video, I'm gon na, try to get out as far as we can share away and thank you so much for tuning in really appreciate it yeah exactly. We want to have a test and we're going to see where's the farthest place from London. That'S treated in today we have someone from New Zealand where's. The fairness question: does anyone, let's nobody was tuned into any of us, make life as well that we do we do once a month me and Francesco normally just make my black with sometimes so. That'S they have tuned into one of those, because if you'd, like all of these things, that we're doing, we always do head sheets as well and so the head cheese, you could watch them on our Facebook page, but we always go through and actually give you a Detailed head sheets of how we do the haircut so if you want to have it in the haircut, just go on to our Facebook and you can check out the head sheets for this and the hair brained and the Facebook Likes play Scotland. Oh, let's go, you didn't win the first away, but in my heart for that string to be true, they say opportunity everybody. So what we're doing now is we're just doing a little test from the top to make sure if we see that the wireless point is in the middle. That means that we have balance right now. I can see I'm about a millimeter off Dennis little bit of air better, but not half of a millimeter. So what it means is. It means my elevation is not quite enough at this point, so I'm just going to raise it up a little bit more and I'm just going to take off the amount that I saw so I saw half a millimeter was too long at the top. So what I'm doing is I'm working through taking half a millimeter or through the sides now so when I put it up you're going to mask sorry, that's going to so now. What we want to do is we want to blend the bacteria so where the dirt is, I'm going to give it a little bit of a recap, and then we will start Amazon as well cool. So I'm Michel bits, ladies. This is a beautiful Petra. This is the gorgeous James. I because it is imperfectly today to send that alcohol that you have it'll come in here straightaway, so Petra Burrill came in with this amazing little under cloud. It'S kind of been hidden now from what I've done, but it was rarely severe. It just came straight across, and so it was kind of about there and basically, that undercut was just going straight across an enamine shade that had been growing out now and what we did was we took sections from the front to the back and we just worked Through horizontally, all the way around, we took the next section from the front to the back, and we just worked through horizontally all the way to the back. We did the same thing across every section, lifting up slightly more each time until there was no hair left same on the second side. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to clean up the graduation. So what we're going to be doing now is we're going to be working through some nice vertical sections through the back and just making sure everything blends nicely and then I'll actually be layering. The top as well, because all this to be a really modern soft look. So what we do is we just comb the hair down from the back, we'll actually take all the hair in. So I'm just not caring. What goes in, I'm just coming all the head into the back, we'll see I care about what I'm doing, I'm just no, I guess it not taking it right. You can see straightaway how that gives it yeah. I mean I always love this kind of like off the face card, back, lovely struggles as soon as these horizontally as well. It gives it strength, so we love that kind of stuff. Always if people want to know how do I get more accurate work within the Hat, we'll just use water, it's one of the easiest things that you could possibly use to give things more accuracy. It gives you control. It gives you strength in the work. It makes everything everything much easier, so tip number one for accurate work. Is one hundred percent use water so guys, if you have any questions, let us know if you want to have more Jameses. Let us know the my idea, in fact, who can guess how old james is today, let's see, let's see if anyone gets it right and if you think it's 12 of your clothes so we're just taking a nice clean section from the top to the bottom, on Both sides, what we do is to get it nice and clean on our fingers. We put our little finger, not because we're being rude just because it gives us more accuracy we arrested on the skin, then what we do is we come onto the skin onto our fingers and then we pull through just going to get you to tilt up a Little bit that's a perfect and then you just bring it down. So now i'm gon na work through the back and i take from the shortest point, and i'm just gon na burn that nice little bit of graduation through so I'm just going to have full time. So the elevation is quite low and we're just working through so again putting our finger on the nice bit of control. Oh man, that's gon na be a fun coming around a big kinda people right 28 about that cleverly card. You will have to think of something. If anyone's into the City of London, you can get a little kiss from James cool, so what I'm doing is I'm just working it through from the top to the bottom. He knows all the way from the top down to the bottom. We'Re just part them through and connecting it in. So what I mean by that is we're currently through we're. Finally, the last place where we connected the graduation and we working down. So what this is the thing: is it just slimming the back? It'S just double-checking. What we've done as well, because we work through horizontally and we work one side to the other, there's a chance that that graduation ends up being a little bit snappy a little bit of a problem. Maybe one side doesn't match the other words. So, by pulling everything back, it's just gon na create that softness and it makes that head shake just a little bit more sticky. I believe about the right chapter from where did you guys get what I mean right yeah? So if you guys get when I leave, please give it a thumbs up. Let us know where, if we're having a bit too much fun tonight, so again, work through the one side now that little work through the second side. So it's the same concept. We can't the head back so they're, coming all the way back. Taking my section section works from the front all the way to the back and then what we do is we turn it slightly over onto our previously cut section, and then we start now normally from here I'll start from the bottom. Just because it's easier for me to see the guide line from what I did on the first slide so again, coming in nice a few times until we get a nice clean shape and we follow the guideline. So the good thing is once you've done. The center section on one side, they were a really nice guideline for working through to the second side. No, I personally that's my style of cutting in. To be honest, I like to cut things blunt, and then I like to chop them afterwards, if necessary. What I don't do is, I don't normally do the whole haircut chopping, because I find I don't have as much balance. So I don't have that accuracy for getting a balanced, strong haircutting, and I always find that I can make things softer at the end. With balance, if I do it Duan, so my personal style of cutting, there's no right or wrong is doing it black first and then afterwards breaking into it. So I tried the black first nice strong haircut, balance smooth and then I can always break it. Afterward. You know it's a lot of the time. What I'll teach you you know, even if you do things like styling, they always say: if you're going to do a messy look, do it really clean first and then mess it up because it looks more intentional. So if you spot a haircut, really messy it's difficult to know where it's going, so we always try to do as clean as possible, and then we can always. So what we're doing now is do a little question from front to back. I'M just taking bio sections and I'm just gon na cut it down and just have a little gander that it's all connected across from the one side to the other. This is just like a very basic check as well we're just doing it nice and quick. The basic tenets that makes it different, of course I mean look ahead of the day. It is the check it makes all the difference in the world. That'S what I said. We are not good hairdressers because we do it perfectly or good hairdressers, because we take the time to check what we're doing as we do it. So I would like to refine my haircut for half an hour when I finish the Edit cut, because I don't know that it's pretty good, because I've already done my check as I've gone. So I do the check when it's wet and then when I tried I'm not over this world, I want to be as opposed to a lot of investors who drive and spend a half an hour. 20 minutes. 10 minutes 5 minutes, whatever the pointing into it. Just to try and that it's a look, how they imagined it. So it's right when we try to as we try to teach you the one way to do it. Where you get your shaping quickly, you get your hair, cutting quickly you're getting a visioning quickly. Then you have real time if you want off good to do some personalization, but you might not need it, you are only doing if it really is you're trying to create something like a look of software that you couldn't do in the first place. That makes sense, since the James knows enough to make sense to you guys, no pressure, but the big boss is pushing, but they would go sorry, not Louise's dissolvable text to the end, so the head actually is beautiful texture. Obviously, it's straight its meaning to thick hair and really Francesca is done, a great job of keeping the strengthen and the conditioning exactly so so now that we heard that the conditions - great it's quite straight hair - it maybe has an ever so slight King to it. But it's perfect so yeah we're very lucky on that one! Okay! So just take him through the last one and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to lay the top for you, but before I do that I'll just give you a little bit of a recap, so I'm Michael this is James, is a beautiful Petra And so what we're doing today is we're doing a really cool haircut, for you picture came in with a nice little short undercut under here. What we did was we just took horizontal sections across the head from the front to the back. We worked through horizontally and we just connected the front to the back. Then we took the next section and we did the same thing. We work from the front all the way to the back say on the second side, until all the hair had been brought down and then graduated into it, beautiful yeah. So what we're going to do now is, after we've done a map on the one side. The second side we are going to lay the top now velarium tops going to give a softer chocolate-filled. You know that's the thing. Sometimes, people think that they have trouble in to hair to make it soft, and it's just not really true, to be honest. What you can do is you can layer things which gives you that soft feeling without having to actually completely it's differently, if you're chopping into it and it's different for every man, so you don't always have the troubles with it. So if you were teaching one of the courses like the what hair color disco monitor, so this would probably come under an abstract just because it's a real combination technique, so don't explain their course yeah. Also, we have a few different courses with us slate. So one of the courses that you will always start with is called geometric now geometric is no closer to another. When you really wan na master haircutting, what it does is it gives you all the fundamentals, although really before the principles of haircutting and then what you do. Is you devote the different shades of matter technique? So the easiest thing to do is to do a creative haircut. The hardest things to do is to do a strong, beautiful classic haircut, and so that's really what the direction courses are designed to do. But it's hard to teach you how to do your lines. Layers of graduation absolutely master them and then with different shapes around the square, trying to show so using all the different shapes and all the different techniques in a very pure way, with perfect balance, because doing it with perfect balances again are very, very difficult thing. It'S the hardest thing in the world to do a really nice classic haircut. If you want, if you want to impress really do me a perfect classic haircut, lose anyone can do a creative haircut because there's no other one. It'S kind of a few say: that's what you wanted. No that's fine, but when it comes to classic haircut, you know they're very reasonable formats Apollo and there is a balance. So essentially we say if you really want to master cutting. You come on out geometric courses. Now, once you've done, that course you do want to move on from that, and that's where we start abstract abstract is in between creative and your foundation, your lecturer. So what happens if you want to mix a round shape on one side with the track? Also from the other, to give something a bit of a symmetry, but that's where abstract falls into it so they're definitely always mixing shapes your mixing technique. So we teach you how to go from layers into graduation back into those again and so on. So, if you've ever wondered how you can make a Caleb haircut for your individual crime, that is not creative, but is not a classic haircut. That abstract is, of course, for you, so you're going to learn how to mix all the different shapes and it's a more dynamic, more modern way of cutting. So we really like that, of course, as well. Brandon, of course, for us it's a six day series, and then we have our final cutting course off in the hands as well, but that links afterwards, which is creative so as the creative is utilizing disconnection within the haircut as well, and so that would be one Of us who would be geometric for your classics, abstract for more dynamic, modern way of cutting and then creating it for the crazy one thing: okay, cool! So looking good! What I'll do the really really really quick recap? And then so you can see that the lengths Petra came in with you can see the length here. So we had some really long hair when Petra came in what we did was she had? This really amazing undercut. We took horizontal sections, we elevated each time as we worked working all the way around, and then we just kept working all the way up. We did the same on both sides. We then actually took the from the back and we just graduated in the back. A little bit more just to make sure everything blended, we took it then from the top and we layered it through. I'M just going to do a quick cross trip over the top, and then we do the fringe. Surprise visitors asking about the layers or the layers. As you build them so and what I would say is again they kind of work with within a squareness to them. Just because, if you look from left to right, we can see that it's a flatness on top. Now I don't want to confuse you guys with too many technical slang words, but because, at the end of the day you know you can prevent deep into these things, but I think the most important thing is to just realize, but it's very flat on top. That'S all we're looking for looking something flat. Anything that you do, that has a point on top, will equal a very heavy weight when it falls down. So if you have ever seen a haircut that looks like someone had a mushroom car on the top of it, that is more normally always when you find do me, a favor guys. Try this one in your cellar. If you have a crime ooh kidding and she has a mushroom head cop, you know all right check the top of the haircut, and I bet you a million bucks, a million bucks right. You will find a cooler on top sorry lick, lift the hair up at the top look and we'll find a corner on top, and that's what gives you the mushroom / fullness on top. So this is just a really flat layer, it's just to slim it down and create a little bit of softness. Now, we've seen this long proves that we have care. Who are there things we should take, it short guys yeah, and how should you want to see that he was asking a good question about whether the course is based. So, of course, is all based on around the world, but obviously, if you really want to come to see us in our London, I would be more than happy to have you here. So you can come to our learn from home that we are based in now. We'Ve got a new facilities being built which is going to be ready in January. That'S in various routes with just of Oxford Circus. So a little bit of a chance for a bit of shopping. Sorry, most lovely, darling, location. Little knocks everything about that new location being built in London Street that one sexy to show super short. What are you come and get your one-minute cut all right. So look on your sunny and opening between the super chute. What do you think frontal writer Francesca? I'M sure it's fine, okay, so just coming back, we rest our hand onto the head as well and we're just going to go for a really nice choppy fringe yeah. So that's what we want to see hair coming off. There'S! No there's not there's nothing! That'S a better feeling in that one I'd say that took us a little bit of through the options of the fringe yeah. So basically, I would say that there's obviously there's a lot of different ones and we're not going to talk about this connection, because we could be here all night as well, but the basic, the really basic different shapes you have. The fringes is a bit of a youth fringe, so it's a little bit of a Bettie Page kind of Fringe where it goes shorter and it ends up longer in the middle. Then you have ones which are rounded. So we would say you know. This is more. Like a triangle shape saying it's a Bettie Page frame, then you have a rounded shape and then you have the square shape as well. So those are the fundamental ones. Obviously, there's a lot of different varieties, but those would be the fundamental ones that we can talk about as well. How do you just section so yeah again, it's kind of based upon it's based upon the shape that you're taking within the haircut, so you know right now, I'm going for something quite straight across, so I'm really just looking to have the same kind of sectioning when I work as well. That'S really what I'm looking at you know. Obviously the density of the section is very important. I have to be able to see what I'm doing in terms of the thickness as well great, so we did it here. First of all, shattered edge. There maybe your work for me, that is so. What I'm doing is I'm doing the pointing now, because really I know that hundred percent. I want to see something a lot softer in the fringe and freezes. What happens is when you actually point into them. They end up being a little bit shorter. So what I, what I want to do is sorry picture. You know we're just how much hair we can we're gon na face them. So what I'm trying to do is I know that if I end up pointing into sorry it's all good man, so what happens is I know that when I point into things they have not been quite a lot of shoulder off the woods. So what I wanted to do is go straight away into the pointing so that I'm not ending up doing too much off birds as well all right. So if you have any questions that are smarter, we'd love to hear them, for you we'll do a little recap quickly and then what we'll do is we'll start to iron in as well. So you guys can see the design process. Difficult minute. Lovely show choose what do you think guys that will? Let us know misty said that this kid, so what I'm doing is I'm just elevating it out. I'M just slightly graduating the fridge area, so I'm lifting it up, there's normally a little bit of a corner or a point in the middle and I'm just softening. So when it sits back it's it's a little bit softer. So there's not all. We talked about the color okay, alright, so we come over to our pictures. Maybe just come out here because the light a bit perfect so yesterday I saw as she had like blonds, basically like six months of regrowth of past highlights so when it done at first. It was like tree lighting on the Midlands and the ends just trying to clean the bus collar with the last so that they've done and then just couple each. Obviously, I try to use as much as I could of products to keep the month a nice day. Actually, the condition, so I'm not a very steady cameraman in comparison to I love seven. I was doing this. What brand of pre-light live? It is something what brand of tread lightly, so we we actually working with nori on in the Sun, so we can work really well with that. I was using multi technique for older works at gun and just for clean a little bit more Dakota. Once again, Scott leach by the same time of the land in the end, was still cleaning a little bit before. Turning up with a little bit of light. Now, with oxygen and nearly the water Justin Omega C strong for insomnia, beautiful I mean you can see the colors, but it's worth the way Francesca just got a quick couple of questions for you. How did you avoid the hair that was already highlighted? Okay, woody? So it was sectioning. I was caring about the pre light now highlights on the end, yeah eh, between the read Romans and the personality, or on the strides to make me like a little bit usage just using a little bit of bleach with with the teeth brush. Try to make it blended between the other sides and the lightening water from what was the toner that you used. So I will consider it a secret, but I actually meets marginal dear chefs and yellow eyes. I said: don't do it that's. What we are here hide rested: justice, parents and try different. You know who's kind of breakthroughs, and then you realize, by the signals in this magically, you know there's sort of much new things to do to conversing. Always there's always something new to learn some different way than everyone's gon na. Do it so we're actually done was mixing things well with clear and felony shades, the twelve one that was fun to get rid of the yellow, by the same time, just to make a little bit of the old save pice lon cuz. I really like that. Hi chase, so even is now so looking very cool, lovely little family short box. So for me I would actually try and wear this really kind of a little bit more messy with a little bit of a chocolate friend as well.
