How To Cut Layered Bob Haircut On Curly Hair

Hey everybody, I'm Amanda Jenkins, the global director of education for Crewe New York, and I'm here today to do a dimensional layering technique on Maxine, who is a longtime client of mine and beautiful girl, amazing hair, and I can't wait to show you this technique, because you Can'T tell because I have her all clipped up, but Maxine hasn't gotten a haircut at about a year, so her layers have completely grown out and she's kind of lost her texture, but as you're gon na see, as I start to cut her textures gon na come Alive and she's got amazing hair and she likes to wear a really big and she likes to have a nice short fringe, which is what every hair dusters dream to cut. Can we say Kelly LeBrock is my idol for The Young Ones, weird science check it out. So what we're gon na do is like pre sectioned her out - and I do this with all of my shapes, it's kind of like my roadmap and with any roadmap. If you get a detour, something happens at least you're gon na know, where you're going so where I'm going with this shape is heavily layered from the back forward and then I'm gon na come on top and I'm gon na basically do more like a round layer From the top from the front to the back, okay and then I'm gon na cut her fringe in now. That being said, if I get inspired halfway through the shape - and I want to cut the fringe first as inspiration - I might do that again. I have my roadmap, I know where I'm going so I can take a little detour here and there if I want so to get started. I'M gon na start with my razor and I'm going to be working from the back. Like I just said forward. I'Ve prepped her hair with our curl, perfect, Shampoo and Conditioner, and I'm going to be using the rejuvenating, moisture mist. You'Ll see me use this throughout the haircut and this is going to be my cutting lotion. It'S awesome. It'S really great for any type of curly hair. Any texture, you know I've really used this. It'S super lightweight for those of you that don't use cutting lotions. This is a good one, and this is Kourtney from the camp behind the camera. You guys with hair brain. If you guys have any questions, let me know, and I will pass them along to Amanda quick question - I mean, what's the benefit of using a cutting lotion, a cutting lotion. So you know, especially when you're working with a razor, it's nice to keep the hair hydrated. So that you know you want to keep the cuticle intact, you don't really want to shred it out too much so you're, keeping it hydrated and you're keeping the integrity of the hair. We'Ve got a lot of love coming in from Florida, Hawaii, South Africa, Thailand and we have D from ecru New York headquarters tuned in nice. Alright, so, as you can see, I'm working with my straight edged blade and I'm working from short to long now we're going to keep Maxine's length completely. She really wants to keep that length. So that's why I'm pulling the hair out towards me and I'm not going straight down. I want to keep the integrity of the perimeter. I want to keep it feeling like she has a lot of hair still, and she wants to feel that length though, and I'm sure what the texture will get this question a lot, but why are you choosing to use the razor you know? It just depends on the the client that I'm working on, I know Maxine. I know her hair very well. She'S got a ton of it. It'S not super coarse hair, so I can be a bit more aggressive with it. I want her hair to be light, because I want that curl to come out. The razor is really going to release that natural texture that she has and I like to be able to you, know, see a transition that is not stuffy so with the razor it kind of melts all the layering together. It'S really nice Maxine. You have some fans on here. It'S a band, your sister Chloe that have joined us. So, as I work around, what I'm doing is I'm going to be over directing each section back to the previous. Does anybody watching you guys work with the razor on textured hair? Are you seeing a lot of clients wanting to really wear their hair, textured and big and curly, while we're waiting for those answers to come in? Do you do you? Are you finding a lot of clients right now coming in wanting to kind of keep their next natural texture for sure? Texture is so big right now, and you know I for me: I love it. I love working with different textures and I love the fact that clients that don't typically wear their hair natural - I can teach them how to do it. I can put a nice shape on to where they can do both straight and textured if they want, and it's all about putting a nice shape. I don't believe that there's a curly hair cut or there's a straight cut. I believe that you know a shape of the shape and you should be able to wear your hair. However, you want now curly hair clients, typically don't wear their hair curly because they don't know how to style it. So, as a stylist, I think it's awesome when I can teach my clients how to actually style their hair and maybe they can take 20 to 30 minutes off their morning prep time and then you've really got a client for life and, speaking of texture, you guys Have a class coming up at the end of this month, yeah that is about texture. Can we talk about that? Texture exposed is August 26 and it's a one day class in our Academy, and we really go into detail different textures how to create texture on straight hair, how to release texture on wavy hair and how to maximize and control texture on really curly hair. So it's not just about those curly hair clients. It'S about the clients that also say that they love your texture, but they can't ever have it because they don't know how to style it. So we really go into detail about that, and our tickets still available totally yeah. You can go to our website at Crewe new york.com and you can purchase tickets online. Definitely it's a great great great class. We have some questions coming in Samantha asked what is the benefit of the over direction of layers to the back, rather than a classic 90 degree cut. So that's a great question so when you start to over direct the hair back, what I'm doing is I'm maintaining and I'm building up some some length through the front. So what that's doing is that's allowing my me to keep my corners and that's allowing Maxine to feel that she still has long hair and it gives that it just gives a really nice heavier front. So the back, because I'm gon na go round from the front to the back. You see how short I've cut that so we're gon na have some disconnection. That'S gon na hang over. So, instead of us just having a round shape, it's going to be round, but it's going to be collapsed here. So it's going to grow out really well and and she's going to be able to move because a lot of times we put a round shape on somebody. We want that look, but yet the hair doesn't move for them, so creating a little bit of disconnection in there. It'S gon na allow her hair to move and for those just joining, did you prep her hair with any products? Yes, so again, I'm using the rejuvenating moisture mist as my cutting motion and I use the curl perfect, shampoo and conditioner as well to prep the anti frizz and the hydrating shampoo, okay, so again just like to catch you up if you're just joining working from the Back forward, or directing back to my previous working with my razor just making sure that my strokes are consistent, the entire time. This is a brand new blade, that's very important when you're working with the razor's that you, you really want a nice sharp blade. Okay, we do have another class if you're interested in learning how to work with the razor it's called razor's edge. So that'll be that's up on our website as well. So if you're interested in that, you can find the data out there, but this haircut will be taught in our texture exposed class on August 26. Ok, so you can see it every time I take a section, I'll drop it, and then I move the hair around. I see what it's looking like. This is just helping me make sure that I'm doing the right thing. That'S gon na benefit her hair, because if something doesn't sit right now, it's not gon na sit right when she goes home to do it. Right and again you guys this is Cortney from the hairbrained team behind the camera. If you have any questions, let Amanda know and I will be sure to ask them and I have to say Gerard and I had the opportunity to come to the Academy a couple months ago, and it was one of the most fantastic fantastic experiences ever. If you could describe the ik at the crew academy into people who haven't been there, what would you say you what I love about the education and the culture that we're creating? Is that it's a boutique style of Academy? So what that means is that we cap all of our classes at 14. So what that also means is that you get two educators for every seven people which that type of education is exceptional right and so the way that we teach is very hands-on. We really break down every shape when it comes to sectioning, for instance, when we do this haircutting class, all section and then I'll send you off in the new organist section, then we're all going to come back together. I'Ll do a few sections and then you're gon na do a few sections. Then we'll come back together and what that does is that allows everybody to learn at the same pace and nobody gets left behind and all the information is the same for everybody and if some, but one person has a question nine times out of ten a few People have the same question so for all answering them and practicing them at the same time, everybody learns and what's also great, is that all of the classes you're gon na have the educators that are going to be able to pick out what type of learner you Are they're going to be able to pick out how long you've been in the industry and what you need to know? Everybody comes to class for different reasons right, so some people really need to know how to section here, and maybe you just learning how to section hair is all you need right. So that's a win and some people come because they need them to learn. They want inspiration, they want to new shape and that's great, so our educators are trained to figure out what you're here for and to make sure that all expectations are. So we have Anthony Kola here. He says the shape is looking amazing. Thank you and we have a couple people joining and they're asking about what razor are you using? So I'm using a Huron razor, it's a straight edge blade what's great about this. Is that the you know just the balance when you're working with a straight edge and we go over this and the texture and the razor net? Excuse me razor edge class that the razor that you use the weight distribution and all of that is very important. So yeah this is a Huron research. Amber has a good question. She says hi Amanda. How do you? How do I know when to do this haircut? What would the clients say that would lead me to believe that they want their hair cut this way? Okay in clients, I use a lot of hand, gestures and I'm gon na show you in one second, when I'm done with the sectioning, I use a lot of hand gestures. I use a lot of descriptive words and for me, most clients, you're gon, na get a very few amount of clients that are kind of come in and they're gon na say. I want curly fringe and I want really layered hair. But when you start to know your clients, a client is gon na say it's always this shape so round right. So I'm like okay, so why don't we swim it down? You see what I'm doing with my hands. That'S key we're gon na slim it down and I shake my head yes and I smile and then I'm like. Well, why don't we put like some nice layering in it? Give it a really cool shape? You know you can say hot words, shag. What a hot word right, no right, everybody's using it! You can totally use that to describe this haircut. We'Re gon na. Do curly friends we're gon na layer. It out! You know all of these hand method gestures that I'm doing that's what I do to my clients and then I shake my head. Yes and I smile and then they they say. Okay and do you prefer one clients bring you inspiration, images yeah. I love it because, because maybe I'm thinking a shape like this and she's thinking, a change for her is a classic one layer which is totally cool fine. But as long as you know, kind of where she's going and then if she doesn't show you images that you think are great tell her, I tell my clients all the time no way or okay, but I can do something better and then they love it. You'Re you're, the professional. You need to give the recommendations. If you wait for your clients to say what they want, then what what makes you special right. So you have to give the recommendations and if you're, just joining us, amanda has mentioned a couple upcoming classes. At e Cruz Academy - and they did just put the website in the comment section for you guys so be sure to check it out. Okay, so I completed this entire site and I don't know if you really could see, but I was over directing everything from behind or in front of the ear. Excuse me to behind the ear so again over directing to my previous and then when I got to behind the ear everything got over directed to this one stationary point, and what that's going to do is that keeps it very heavy around her front. Okay. So I'm going to do the same thing through the right side, but the back is complete as well. It'S amazing right, like her texture, is really starting to come alive, and I know you mentioned at the beginning that it's been about a year since our last haircut. How? Often do you recommend your clients come in for a haircut or some sort of upkeep okay, so this is when because I feel like, if you do a good haircut, she can come in whenever she wants. I told my clients I'm like when it starts to bother you come in. I don't really believe you know. I say if you want to keep this shape, if it's a very geometric shape, if you want to keep it anywhere between six to ten weeks. Okay, something like this when it starts to bother you right. I don't know, and then your clients really appreciate that right and their haircuts grow out really great, and then they tell their friends that their haircuts grow up great, I don't know. I have some clients that are obsessed with getting their hair cut. I mean thank God for those clients right yep everyone needs. Does we all need those, but you know what cutting off two millimeters is. It'S it's nerve-racking. Sometimes right. Let'S see and Gino came in with a question he said: can you explain how you found the balance points to create the division from top to bottom? Ah, that's another great question. I use my comb all the time, I'm always measuring out the head. I'Ve been doing here for over 25 years, and I still do this so working with the flat part of that head. I teach this in our classes when you come to our Academy, it's not only about a technique, but it's about stuff like this, that we kind of forget about so working with the flat part, a section all the way back. I kind of dipped it down a little bit through the back just to follow the head, shape, yeah and then, when coming to the fringe area. You know I like a nice wide fringe, because I know that the shape is going to look better, especially on her face if it kind of comes back here right. I'M also gon na play around probably with carving some of this out to really situate those cheeks, because her face is unbelie --, but that's really how it is. I'M here or I put the comb on top of my head to find the flat part. So then, everything in between here and here this would be my corner so stuff like that. If you're interested in that kind of breaking down the head shapes and the architecture of haircutting class would be the best thing to come to and that's a two-day class where I really break down head, shapes and stuff see, we have a couple questions coming in. Just asking in general: what is a crew? Okay, great question, so it crew is. We are a product company that is really born in the salon. Our founder Carmen Davis qua is a hairdresser and we are for hairdressers, I'm still a hairdresser Lisa Lobosco is a hairdressers. Still and our creative team members were all hairdressers, so what that means is that we understand what stylists me and what our clients needs. So the products really reflect the performance that everybody is looking for for the season. So you know we're really really dedicated to bringing the highest level of integrity and ingredients to all of our products, but you know salon stylist based product line and always you know we are out globally every other month, Lisa and I are out meeting hairdressers in Europe And Asia and we're really talking to them what each market needs and then from there that's how we come up with the new products that we have. Does that answer your question? Yes, thank you. I'Ve got a lot of love coming in yeah, okay, so I've completed the underneath section: okay, I'm gon na go through the top. Now and again, I'm going to work from the front to the back and I'm actually gon na do the fringe. First, sometimes it's nice. When you're working with a client that maybe doesn't have a fringe or is recutting the fringe, sometimes I cut this first and it's really so I can be inspired and she can spend 45 minutes looking at herself and not gon na freak out. Although Maxine is the last person in the world that would ever freak out because her hair with fringe is the best thing ever see and Samantha's says bring your classes to LA, do you do your classes anywhere else? Are you strictly here at the academy? Well, we're strictly here at this point in time in the u.s. at our academy, that doesn't mean that in the future, because I love LA and I definitely want to go there, so you know if Carmen is watching. Maybe it's a little twinkle in my okay. So, coming to the fringe, I'm gon na split it down the center and I'm just gon na work, one side than the next one side to the next very classically. Okay, are you guys like and Curly French out there? You guys doing it? I'D, say friends. Some people say bangs, so if you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, I'm gon na say yes for the crowd, because there's a lot of love coming in yeah Lisa hearts asking what is the spray product you are using? Okay. So that's our rejuvenating, moisture mist again. This is gon na be my cutting lotion. This is from our curl, perfect collection. It'S really ultra hydrating, very lightweight, though. So. That'S why you'd like to use it as a cutting motion. You know some cutting motions like stick to your fingers and I used to hate using a cutting motion, but now that one is just like so amazing, okay, so you saw that you know I dropped it left it a little bit long now. Sometimes people get a little nervous doing this and they leave it too long and then all of a sudden, the French, when it's dry, that's down there. We really want to make sure that it's you know right around the bridge of her nose. I could probably go a little bit shorter, but I'm gon na just like let that start to feel its way out and see how it starts to dry, so curly fringe you're, getting a lot of yeses to cutting curly fringe nice. I must say it's kind of like I have hair Envy when I cut this one's hair, I'm just staying nice and controlled as I work combing from the base of my section getting my razor moving before I hit the hair and again I don't we mentioned it Earlier, but for those just joining, why did you choose to use the razor on curly texture? I feel, like some stylists may kind of stay away from that yeah, it's kind of scary, it's kind of taboo. You know for me I like to if somebody says I can't do anything, I'm gon na, do it just to see with curly hair and the razor it's all about understanding the tool and the texture that you're working on so Maxine's hair isn't terribly course. It'S really nice texture. She doesn't get frizzy very often, so I don't have to worry about that and I also want to really release and maximize her natural texture. So the razor will definitely allow me to do that, but you can see how controlled on being with it, meaning I'm not like going crazy and shredding it out. If I was to shred it out, then that would create frizz, but I'm being very controlled with it. Our razor class, we really go into details day. One is more like a fundamentals of what type of hair to use it on have when to open it when to close it. These are all terminology talking points that you would learn. If you came to our Academy and took the razor's edge, class and Jade says I've never tried curly fringe, but for sure going to do this ASAP probably will have a co stylist. Do it on herself. Thank you for the education and inspiration in the picture. I want to see what it looks like and speaking of where can they find you online to send photos to or to see more of your work right? Okay? Well, you know you should always follow ecru New York, professional on Instagram and then my Instagram is jenks. Je and k ZZ ZZ and I post classes, and I post like some work but ecru New York professional, is really where you can see what we're up to and really good inspiration. There can also go on our Facebook accrue New York and then our website accrue to your comm. Tony says: Amanda is great she's to be one of my mentors and instructors when they worked at TG. Let'S see Geno's asking when teaching a client to utilize their natural texture, knowing they have a history of using curling irons. Does that affect your plan to utilize disconnection sure when I, when teaching a client to utilize their natural texture, knowing they have a history of using curling irons? Does that affect your plan to utilize disconnection really just to allow space? You create space for hair to sit into so if somebody wants to continue to use a curling iron or flat iron, it's totally fine and when I'm teaching them how to wear their natural texture ya, the disconnection really good, it's more just like Flatman create space, but You have to really teach them how to style their hair like, for instance, if Maxine never wore her hair natural. I would probably book out an extra 15 minutes just at the end, so I can really go over things, meaning you know the styling process starts in the shower. Okay, it starts in the shower you're scrunching, your hair you're, really not combing your hair. When you get out of the shower, you know how to properly put product in what product to use all of that stuff really has to come from you, the stylist, and you have to teach her how to do it. That'S how you're going to succeed in getting your clients, that's how you're going to succeed at getting your clients to wear their hair, natural and Christopher's asking if you could use a guarded razor for this, or would you only use a straight blade? What do we use? A guarded blade - and I recommend like when I started working with the razor I use the guard yeah. Now I love to use the. I only use a straightedge now because I have more control and I feel like it's more like sculpting when you work with a guard, you have to really be mindful of the thickness of your section. You have to be mindful of the tension that you're putting on the hair because you have to get through that guard. There'S nothing wrong with using a guard at all, and I I also know that some states, you have to use a guard right, but you know you would use like thinner or take thinner sections and I always like to teach when you're using a guard. You really want to get in between each of those little teeth. Again we go over that at the razor edge class, a lot of people use guards and again there's nothing wrong with that. You know: do you see what's about to happen when I section her hair her face goes this way now. This is really important that I pay attention to my client and I put her head back. It'S normal you're, fine, it's totally normal. When you section people usually go the other way. If I wasn't really paying too much attention to that, then what would happen is. I would actually start to cut and in a different angle that I want I would be like more over here now. I am going to go through the top and round this out in a minute, but really just pay attention and Cheryl's asking with more coarse hair. Would you use the same approach or different? I would use the same approach. I might use finer sections and I might have more of a closed blade, yeah and a closed blade would be more of a solid line that you'll be cutting great, so I'm not going to shred the edge about, and so now I'm gon na start to pivot. Off of the top of my triangular section, so I'm just gon na pivot and I'm gon na over direct it off forward forward forward and I'm gon na start to walk around now. Okay and I've noticed because I'm standing next to you, your body position and how you really line up every time, you're using the razor. How important is body position when you're doing these types of body position is I'll zoom out, so you guys can see a little bit some of my team members. They make fun of me when we're or even in the classes, because I'm always like suck in your lower belly, straighten up your shoulders roll your shoulders back, because you know if, if you're leaning as soon as I lean my hand, goes this way right. If I want my hand this way, then I need to like stand up straight right and Samantha's asking. Are you using any of the bottom portion of her hair as a guide, or is this section completely disconnected completely disconnected? My fringe was my guide, great question and again I'm coming around with every section that I take I'm coming right back to the beginning and now elevating so I'm elevating straight off of that section. You know when you start working with shapes like this and breaking them down and kind of. I always tell people that I don't believe that they're an advanced haircuts right, so I talked to some hairdressers and they're like I only want to go to an advanced of class. Well, in my opinion, advanced hairdressing is nothing but classics intertwined right. So here I did more on the underneath I did more triangular and on the top I'm doing a bit more round. So you know those are that's classic, but now I'm just intertwining it and that's really how I learned and how I get motivated. You know when I was starting off. I learned the classic shapes your Bob, your graduated blogger square layers, all that stuff. When I knew I could do those no problem, then I started doing them backwards. Just to see what would happen and then I knew that I could get myself out of any type of situation and I also knew how to start to fix haircuts and for the everyone just joining. I know we've talked about it a little bit earlier, but on the topic of education, can you talk a little bit about the education that you guys have at the acrux Academy sure so the Karoo Academy? You know we designed these classes so that any level of stylists can really benefit from any of the classes. Like I mentioned earlier, like that, the educators are all trained to understand the needs of each individual. That'S it that's taking the class so again, whether it's you know sectioning that you're saying body position getting inspiration. You know everybody can benefit. We have classes from. I mentioned earlier architecture of haircutting, which is really basic. Basically, breaking down the classic shapes breaking down the head shape. Why the stand win like? Why does blow-drying and refining make a difference when you're cutting a graduated bomb, so Rose just said she would like to learn to cut with the head shape? Is that the class you would suggest for her yeah sure, Architects, your hair, cutting yeah and if you're interested go to our website, accrue new york.com, okay and you can check out all the classes that we offer and you can book online as well. So we're into the last section here yeah so last section and that's just like look look. I'M gon na take this whole side down there. We go all right, so we have a really nice, rounded fringe. It'S still heavy. She still has a lot of hair. She still has her length, but it's really going to expand and like she's gon na, be able to get that big texture that she really loves. Okay, so coming on to the side finishing up, I'm going to work diagonal back sections, that's what I was doing using the corner of the fringe. As my guide and I'm gon na work out to her length and in the salon. I know I'm slowing you down a little bit because we're educating and asking questions: how long would you book out for this style this cut in the salon? Okay, so typically, I'm gon na get myself back in order here, because I just took all this down. It takes me 45 minutes to wash right now. That being said, I do work in New York City and in New York City. Everybody says that the train slowed them down, that's rather late, so I have an hour booked on my books because just for that, but it really takes me 45 minutes and you know just for customer service. I don't like to meet my clients, wait so booking in that extra 15 minutes if anybody's late. It makes sure that I get to see her on time and get her out on time. I blow dry all of my clients from like curly hair. This is something really to discuss. It'S that you know a lot of clients. I hear them say that they don't want their hair, blowdried, curly, hair clients. I'Ve heard it right how many clients have do you have that say: I'm just gon na leave it the way. For me, that's an insult, because that means that you think that I don't know how to blow-dry your hair. So I take really really a lot of pride in my blue eyes and making sure that they look amazing when they leave and they know how to do it, so nobody leaves with their hair wet and nobody leaves with their hair half-wit. So I've heard that in the past, like I'm just gon na, let let it dry halfway through like for me again, that's like, but then I can't guarantee that it looks great right so take pride in your blow dries and and learn really learn how to do It because clients, when they start letting you blow dry their hair, curly her clients. That means that you've got them because typically they're scared. This section is a bit too fat. So the way that I know that is because my razors started pulling okay. So if that happens, do what I just did take two seconds and resection it. So, if you're interested in learning this cut August 26, in our Academy, we have a texture exposed class and that class we'll go over how to create texture on somebody that really doesn't have texture, so straighter textures. What type of texturizing techniques are best for them to give them movement, and then we go into wavy hair, how to create how to maximize what they have and give them more and then for really curly hair how to control it and how not to be scared To put a great shape in so you'll work on two different mannequins and you'll have a maximum of 14 people in your class with two educators, and that's a one day course, and you can book online at ecru New York, calm, and you will learn this haircut And you guys have classes at the academy year-round all year all year now I just want to point out that when we do this haircut in the class, we're gon na be doing it with shears and not a razor yes in the summertime. I know a lot of people like to take vacation, but a lot of people like to go to class too. You never have enough education. That'S what I think your hands-on education. I love hands-on. We really really we go into like you were just talking. Courtney body position - and you know I also go into consultations right now. We had a question earlier on how to how do you convince your clients or how do you? How do you talk to your clients about doing this type of haircut? You know, and it's about you as the professional beating them and giving them great advice. One thing that I do is if my client says that she wants to keep her length. That'S fine yeah and I make sure that she keeps her length. I never cut anybody's hair, oh and when somebody says I want to keep my length, I don't give them Matt and say: well, that's your name and they cut the rest of it off. So you know a lot of my clients. They'Ve been with me for a very long time, and they let me do what I want to do, because I know I'm not going to take them too far off. You have another request to go to Florida and Palm Beach. So tell D: we're gon na put you on the road all right man, and would you have one question Michele's asking if you were using shears, would you point cut yes great question for sure point cut? Oh right, so you know just looking to see shaking the hair around because when you're not around, her hair is gon na move right and if you see something that you don't like now, you're, probably not gon na like it later and she's, probably really not gon Na like it, so I always just take a moment now, I'm gon na go through with my shears, I'm gon na take some of the weight out and I'm gon na do a brick cutting technique. I'M also going to do that and through here to lift this up a little bit okay and then I'm pretty much done with my shave. I'M really happy with what it looks like and I want to turn around the back. We'Re heavily layered, I'm gon na go back through here. Think a little bit take. This is that this connected area right goes all the way down. So I need to go in here and I'm gon na kind of cut into that a little bit, but I like that. It'S meeting the length all right so again that just makes it look a bit fuller, which, which is what the style is right now shredded at the bottom, really isn't on-trend. So then, I think also knowing your client no like. What does your client do? What type of questions do you ask your clients when doing a consultation you know in New York, I asked: what do you do right? The typical? What do you do for a living hey? Where do you hang out? Where do you live right? I look at their outfits when they come in and and then I kind of go from there. You really learn a lot about somebody by where do they hang out? Where do they go to dinner? You know, learn a lot. Then you can kind of get inspired by them and why are you giving the fringe a little bend before you cut great question because I'm seeing where the natural bend of the the curl starts right, so I'm cutting it in between that it's gon na come underneath. I know that a little bit of that come out there we go, and why did you decide to go in with a share for this part? Because I wanted to be a bit chunkier yep, so right here that natural Bend, so I'm just going to cut in here just a brick formation and it's totally. Okay, like I use a lot of scissor and razor combos with my shapes, I'm not married to one or the other. I think that you have to really pay attention to what the hair wants. Listen to it, yeah the hair wants what the hair want is fair. Once and I'm not gon na fight it cuz, I'm not gon na win, alright, so here's that disconnected piece, so I'm just gon na kind of come in here there we go. There'S that this connection right and so I'm gon na, come from that disconnection and I'm gon na scoop it out and you're gon na learn this in our texture exposed class and it's basically creating a connection with my disconnection that makes sense and I'm going into it As opposed to near the ends, because I don't want to take any of the length off when you're, adding in these finishing touches, how big do you like your sections to be? That was a really big section yeah. So I the reason is because that was such. It was only more of like a this triangular piece and that's all I wanted, because I didn't want to thin it out too too much and then I'm just gon na do one less kind of pickup. Here you see that this is where I'm just gon na point cut that off and I'm gon na round that out just a little bit okay and then just little finishing touches around the front and then I'm completely finished. I think I'm gon na open this up. Just a little bit this is, you know, going back to the front the opening of that haircut, where I said we have our roadmap and if we get into a detour, then as long as we know the finished, where we want to go, then that's fine. So, coming through and just lightening this up through the center, I think, is going to be best and I'm going to over direct everything here, not really taking length off I'm just taking this like centerpiece out. I'Ve got a lot of love coming in Christopher, says. Amazing. Thank you for the video and at this point in time, I'm starting to think about the product that I'm going to use, I'm really into kind of doing little product combinations blending. So I'm going to be okay, I'm gon na put a little bit more moisture just at the edge here. It started to dry, okay, so again using rejuvenating moisture mist. This is really going to put a lot of hydration in. If you don't use this. This is amazing for your second third day, just to reactivate the curls she's. Definitely gon na be going home with this. All of my clients are in the summer they have their bags and that's what you also prepped our hair with two for product yeah for sure and so defining styling potion. Okay, so we don't need a lot of this. What'S awesome about our products. Is that they're? Very concentrated right so, as stylists were used to like really going crazy, we don't need a lot. This is such a beautiful product that really defines the curls adds a lot of shine and controls the frizz. It'S just really awesome, so you see how much it really starts to open up on my hands, so I'm gon na work through the bottom coming through to the top and notice that I'm like clumping the hair together. Okay, so that's key! Typically, to be honest with you in the salon, I would put her in it back into the shampoo bowl. I'M really really really wedding, but we can't and her a perfect purposely chose her as a model to buy no more textures. Also so clump the hair not really breaking my fingers through I'm gon na scrunch it, and then this is a killer killer combination. So this is our styling bomb. Now the combo of these two together on curly wavy, hair, unbelievable. This is your preferred cocktail. This is my god. So what we're gon na do again, it's a very, very lightweight, light hold okay, so you don't have to worry about it getting crunchy or too greasy. It doesn't get greasy at all. It'S really amazing great for curly hair great for anybody that likes a little bit of texture. I finish a lot of my clients off with this weather. The hair is curly or straight, don't let them walk out without that product? Okay, so I love what's happening. If you like, okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to defuse, but we all know that watching people diffuse hair is like watching paint dry. So what I'm doing is I have a sock on my blow dryer here, I'm gon na blow dry it on high heat, low speed, okay, but again I'll start off just so that you can see what I'm gon na do here. So for the next 15 minutes. This is what I'm gon na do: okay, but I'm not gon na. Do that to make you watch, because you guys won't like me, so we're gon na sign off and then I'm going to put a photo of her and the comments section off styled out and finished. If I do anything else, I'll, definitely meaning product-wise, we'll put it in the comment section, but I know how her hair is and if I finish it off with anything again, I might put a little bit more of the styling balm in and I might fluff it With our dry texture spray, which is just a hybrid of a styling spray and a dry shampoo, just a fluffy but I'll, let you know exactly what I do and again check in the comments section and you'll see the finishing result, and can we hop or take The cape off real quick to do one final spin with while it's kind of air drying, so the water can see - and you know what, if she you know, since she is my client at home. What I tell them to do because a lot of clients don't diffuse their hair, so I say get out of the shower. I teach them how to put the product in and then just let them air dry right. Do it that faster. Does it and then fluff it at the end to make it bigger and bigger and bigger
