Textured Bob - Fine Hair

I'M Redken master artist, Ruth brooch, and I want to share with you how to do this. Look so. We'Ve sectioned her hair into the sides and the back right up from the back of the ear up and over to the other side behind the ear, and then what I've done here in the back is we've put two diagonal sections in, and that gives us an Even amount of density here in the back and we're gon na start by putting a strong line in when you're working with really fine hair, even if you want it to have like a choppy texture, it's always best to put a blunt line in there first and Then add your texture, if you're going to sometimes you don't even need it, because the hair is so fine that it separates itself a little bit on the ends. So I cut against the skin so that we keep a nice blunt line and we really control the hair and I've also got her head down so that when that head comes up, it's as blunt looking as possible, I'm just gon na continue working up the top Paying attention to the growth patterns in the crown, so I'm really paying attention to the natural fall up here in the crown, because that hair is going to fall wherever it wants to fall. So I need to cut it where it's going to live, so her hair is fine, so I've taken the whole side down as one section. However, if she had thicker hair I'd be taking smaller sections, as I work my way up, so that we don't have too much density all at once at the bottom. So what I'm paying attention to now is not only natural fall but the amount of tension. I have in the hair so I'm using the wide teeth of the comb, so I have less tension and, as I come over the ear, which is a danger zone because we can get a nick or a hole in our line down here, we can just lay The hair over the ear, with our wide teeth and cut it where it lives. We can also go in and just tap the shears right above the ear, and that gives it a little bit more room to travel over that ear. So I've dropped down the fringe area. You can see I've left that out and what we're gon na do is work with natural fall again, so that I can cut a little bit shorter bits in the center and then work out to the longer length that she has here and I'm gon na cut. It where it lives, so I'm just gon na work with this centerpiece here and I'm gon na twist it, and then I'm just going to talk with the shears from her mouth down to her chin. Now. What I'm gon na do is just connect the edge of that to our perimeter. Super simple, just a nice way to connect a fine fringe, that's on the longer side, so I'm using guts 10 just up the root area, targeting it right where we need it. For some lift some hold and to get that air off of her head, so I'm just going to rough dry with my hands to get the moisture out and then put a little bit of a smoothness to the surface at the ends with the round brush. Now I'm gon na go in and just clean up the edges here. So I'm just gon na, have you tuck your head down a little bit, I'm gon na comb that flat and just clean up right around that edge there, and what I'm doing here is I'm rather than coming in this way with this years. I'M having in this way, so I can get underneath that last section and clean it away because that's usually all it is, is that very last section. So when we cut hair all one length when you comb it up, you're gon na get a little bit of a point in the center. So all I'm gon na do is just point cut that very, very center piece off so that as she flips her hair from side to side or her part isn't exactly in the middle every day it's going to fall nicely and we're not going to end up Seeing any any long pieces hanging over anywhere, so what we're gon na do is look at our two sides and just lighten up the areas that need it and open this up just a little bit more, and this is something I like to do once the hair Is dry, so we can really see what it's gon na do so now, I'm going to use a little bit of iron shape 11, which has got a heat protector in it. It'S going to give us some control of the hair and a little bit more hold when I go in with the iron, so we're just going to spray the whole area first and then go in with the iron. So I'm going to go in with the iron as if it's a wand, because that's what Sophia has is a wand at home and I'm just gon na put a little bit of a bend in the hair. This way - and you want this - to be a lazy kind of wave, so not too perfect, so the next one I'm gon na, do it the opposite way, I'm just holding onto those ends next one I'm gon na go back the way we started now, I'm going To do the same thing on that top section lightly. Spray run it through with my fingers and then I'm gon na go in with the iron. The same way always make sure that the hair around the face you're winding it away from her face, and then, when you go into the rest of it, you can alternate now, I'm going in with triple Drive 15, which is gon na, give it some texture and A little bit of hold so it's last a little bit longer, but you just get that real lived-in look with the triple drive 15, so here's Sofia finished. You can see that we get a lot of volume in there by cutting it. What using the guts 10 and then putting a little bit of wave in it with the iron gives it a little more of a lived-in look.
