here's a question from denise barking what is the best way to achieve the soft wispy line on the bottom of these bobs and not end up with a triangular look I always fight too much wait at the bottom and my fix is using a razor to get this effect thanks for the question Denise check this out I totally agree with you the whole trend now on these bobs is getting away getting away from this whole idea of bulk sitting here see how this looks to 80s now these bobs are sitting a lot closer to the head not so triangular here's the hot tip for you what you want to do is you're going to take a horizontal section right at that parietal Ridge with this horizontal section I want you to just simply release this hair you're going to go through and take the hair that you have underneath and you need to release this you see it's this density of hair that's making the top of your bob look more triangular or bubble like once we release this how do you do it so you bring this up and I want you to just take a particular guy from somewhere determine your length and you're going to come in that's right elevate this vertically straight up come through and cut and release watch what happens when I release this I'm cutting this edge that sits short too long take a look at this when you take this out look at the line I have short too long that collapses the shape now bring your bob over that now watch this take a look at that mannequin now you can just start to see how I'm starting to collapse at and it's not so bubble or triangular now how do you loosen up the edge after you've done that this makes it a lot easier to do why because you've released the weight underneath now just come through and I like to come through depend upon the texture of the hair look at see how it's almost whips wispy on its own just come in fan and point cut into that to determine visually the amount of whis penis that you want to achieve on the end of this okay another technique that you could use would be going in taking a vertical slice now watch this one take a vertical slice come through here's a great technique to go in and loosen something weave your your thumb blade through okay once you weave it through I want you to softly close and back up close and back up close and back up close notice I'm not closing completely so this is a great technique to go in and loosen something up okay now what's going to start to happen see how soft and more transparent that's becoming and then also notice this this is starting to sit a lot closer to the head so there's two ways to go in and do this number one under cut or under layer as I like to refer eliminate horizontal section to private Ridge come through elevate straight up cut a horizontal line you've taken and you've just sunk in that area underneath in but you're lying back over on top of that go through take the edge and you can start to see it softer already a softly fan and point cut now here is a great technique when you want to go in and release weight inside and still create a sense of looseness on the edge take a vertical section come through and once you have this vertical section I want you to come through and just weave your blunt blade through okay softly close and back up look I'm not being abrasive it's a soft closure this year and I move just a soft really closure cuts a certain amount then you're pushing it back and away gives you a nice soft texture that's diffused inside and once again just starts to give a little bit more degree of softness a little bit degree of movement and starts to soften the edge of a perimeter I hope you enjoy that try it you're gonna like you

nomad7981: Thanks so much. It was not a bad bob that I got, but the shape was driving me CRAZY- all pageboy and old fashioned. I could not iron it flat enough without a swoop at the bottom. All better now, much closer to my head, thanks to you.
Aaronna Evans: How do I find a stylist who will actually do this to my hair instead of giving me a graduated bob every. single. time.
Sharon H.: Mr. Sam Villa, thank you so much. I got the bob with the incidental triangular Cleopatra like hair. I wanted the bottom of the hair to lay flat and I asked the hair cutter, but that person did not seem to understand. The cut was fine, but the ends later took on a bulbous look. After I saw your video, I took my shears and did an underlayer cut to remove bulk, and point cut the ends on the front sides of my hair. I also point-cut the side-swept bangs. The shape of the hair is much sleeker, feels lighter, and it no longer highlights the roundness of my face. Perhaps you did not intend to help people (non-professionals) to take matters into their own hands, but I am much happier with the results. Thank you again!

RaqStylist: Wow!!!You simplify new techniques like no other!!!!!! (Hope you're safe from Sandy this evening, my heart goes out to NY)
Dawn Smith: I know this is an older video, but would this work for bi-textured hair(very fine mostly, but some coarse hair), that's also quite voluminous and wavy on its own?

Caroline: Are these techniques not taught in hairdressing schools? I have just come from the salon after getting a chin length bob on my thick hair. I asked her to somehow “thin” it out to stop it being poofy and all she did was using thinning shears underneath on the ends which barely touched the surface as I have so much hair. I look like Wendolene from Wallace and Gromit How come they are not taught how to cut a basic Bob to suit all hair types??
