Thanks for being Part Of The FSE FAMILY!
What'S up guys welcome to the vlog before we start, I want to encourage you all to sign up for FSE social fads on there. You know you guys were having a great conversations on there's a ton of stylists over 2,000 stylists have signed up already in one week, everybody's sharing their work being very open to putting themselves out there also asking questions just getting involved in the community. So, thank you to everyone that is doing that. If you haven't signed up yet go to FSC social calm, download the app sign up, it's really easy. It'S free, oh and guys are doing it all. The cool kids are doing it hop on so hope to see you guys there, let's get start with the vlog here we go alright guys so on today's vlog. What we're gon na do is we're going to focus on a classic haircut now. This classic haircut is graduated Bob and a line Bob. So I want to go through, do a classic shape for you guys and show you how to detail it dry. So that's the main focus here. I hope you guys enjoy this we're gon na get start with our step-by-step thanks for watching. Let me know what you think in the comments here. We go. Ok, so we're going to start off the haircut on the left hand side of the head we're going to continue that parting down center back, so we're gon na. You can see that nice vertical section right. There are vertical parting and then I'm going to work diagonal forward. It'S a very slight diagonal forward from that vertical parting down to the nape of the neck. So, just taking out a small little triangle in the back now you really want to focus on finger angle here. This is the base of your graduation, so I think this is where a lot of people might start their graduation going a little too heavy and then, by the end, when they work their way up the head, they realized that it was way too heavy and wasn't What they were looking for so just make sure that when you choose your finger angle, you know how much weight you're trying to leave on most of the time. The questions that I get or is: what do i do on fine hair? What do i do on thick hair? Well, obviously, the base is the most important part. So how I create my finger angle right here is going to determine how the haircut lays so if they have really thick hair, then I'm going to be working with more of a 90 degree angle kind of like I am right here. So, as I work up the head, I get a nice soft feel to the layers. They stack up nice, but it's still almost more of a layering technique than it is graduation. Now, as I work up the head right past the occipital bone, you can see how the head starts to curve away, so that angle completely changes and it creates more weight in the haircut. So it's really important to focus on the head shape, how the head shapes moving throughout the haircut, because it's going to determine how heavy your graduation is. If somebody has finer hair and you decide to go really heavy with the graduation, it's going to lay really flat. So there's a lot of different things. You got to take it client by client to really decide exactly how you want to cut this cut. You can't go in and do the same exact angles. I'M doing right here and get the exact same result on every single head, so just really focus on the more density they have. You don't want to necessarily keep a low elevation, so just understand why you're doing things and you're definitely going to get a better result. So, as I'm working up the head, you can see that top part where the top of my fingertip is. You could see the angle of that is at almost zero degrees. So when we go to blow dry, this hair cut in a little bit you're going to see how much weight gets built up. Because of that angle that we're holding the hair, then we're going to go in and do some dry cutting techniques to soften it. But I really like having that I wanted this haircut to have the heaviness kind of sitting right at that occipital bone area. I wanted a lower graduation on the haircut, so if you want more of a stacked back on this haircut, which a lot of people ask for, you could definitely just use a higher elevation you're going to get more layering, more stacking of the layers and more texture And movement and stuff like that, so just working through I've now moved into vertical partings doing one side completely and then I'm going to move over to the opposite side and work on that. I like staying as consistent as possible. So if you try to go back and forth from side to side, I think you just lose consistency. I know that I do if it works, for you, then then go for it, but for me I like to stay consistent, keep working those partings all the way through the head, moving them back to the exact same place, every time and just keeping the consistency. Now the big shift here is that my fingers are now pointing down, so all has to do with comfort, so you can see how far forward I kind of have her head tilted. The reason I would tilt the head that far is for my own comfort, so that I can get in there with the scissor. A lot of people think that the more you tilt your head, the more graduated the hair, is going to be, or things like that. It'S going to make the hair curl under it's, not necessarily the truth. The truth is the more. I am comfortable with a haircut, the better the outcomes going to be and the better. I can create these angles with my fingers, so just move the head to where you're comfortable cutting, so I'm just working through everything's coming back to a stationary guide in the haircut, so I'm over directing everything to the center back. This is a big key thing here. Again, I like to talk about multiple outcomes of the haircut. If I didn't want so much weight going forward or if this guest had really thick dense hair, I probably would not over direct the hair as far back as I am now, because it would create way too much weight too quick around the ear. So you see those guests that have the dog ear kind of heavy density sitting on the side of their head. A lot of that has to do with the over direction in the elevation, so just make sure that as you're working through the head, keep the density in mind and you'll be good to go with that. So now that I've gotten to the corner now everything's just going to come straight back to the corner, keeping that guide you can see that I'm always working always seeing the guide from the previous cut, so that I know exactly what I'm doing. If you don't see that guide you've taken too much hair, it's much smarter to start over grab your other grab. Another clean section work through it. This definitely happens with me during these videos. Obviously I don't always show that part, but sometimes I comb through - and I don't see my guide so I go back in and re comb and clean up a section, so I'm working with a 339 comb. A lot of you guys are kind of tool. Nerds out there I love that so 339 comb from wise Park. This is the orange edition from Mizutani, so it's kind of special comb that we have here and I'm using a Mizutani DB, 20 scissor. This is the one I talked about in pretty much every video. This is your first free salon, education, video or vlog of mine. It'S my go-to scissor. It'S a 5.7 inch, scissor nanopowder metal steel basically means that it's a softer metal, so it grips. The hair really well creates a nice clean, precise line. Mizutani is the only scissor that has that technology, so it's just a fantastic scissor to have so just going through keeping that vertical section. This is very, very similar on both sides, you're going through doing the same thing, the only thing that makes it difficult - and this is something that I struggle with - is that when I'm working on the right side, because my elbow is up in the air, I want To drop my elbow, so I get a little bit of heaviness on the right side, which is something that I keep mentally working on and while I love having these vlogs because I can see those things and I can see myself cutting hair, it's definitely a cool Tip for you guys out there, if you are looking to better your haircutting, you can film yourself cutting hair. You don't necessarily have to show it to everyone if you don't want to, but but definitely try it out, because you can see everything that you're doing and things that you could change. So now we're going through same scissors stole my DB 20. I can cut with dry hair with it as well that nanopowder metal really grips the hair even when it's dry, so I'm going through just working that line. I did not edit out a lot of this. I just sped it up really quick, because I wanted you guys to see how much work I actually put into creating that line, because I think a lot of people think it just happens in the wet cut and that's not necessarily true so going through working. That line with the tip I go through with the tip first, because if you try to cut all of that with just a blunt scissor, it's going to push the hair you're not going to create the line that you wanted. And then I go through with the flat blade just to clean that line up throughout the back, so working it through with the tip you saw a little bit earlier. I'Ve moved my scissors sideways kind of worked up the hair just to clean up that graduation. A bit any of the loose hairs, I see sticking out and now I'm going to go through the side flat with my blade and create that a line feel to the haircut as well love the shape of this cut and just see you guys I'll point it Out now, this mannequin is kind of creepy. This is not a pivot point mannequin, which I usually use. I had this one laying around decided to cut it off, and the hair was a little bit more of a struggle and it has a really creepy face. So I apologize for that so going through finishing up using the tip of the scissor. Now I'm gon na do a little trick. This is actually a Josh DeMarco trick and I don't know where he learned it from or if you just started doing it, but I was teaching a class with him and he spray made firm, hold hairspray on the model and then he went through and cut the Precise line, so I use the Brocato firm hold hairspray. I really love the hold of that spray it on their comb it down, and then I cut my line. It'S like a perfect line for doing photo work, or even just your guests in the salon to get that precise line. Now you guys wanted to see some texture shear stuff so that little bit of heaviness that we had at the occipital bone from our elevation. I go through with my type Z, dual texture, scissor and go and just break up that line. We do a few different techniques here so right now, I'm just taking a horizontal slight diagonal forward section and going through and working that line out with the dual texture thing I love about. The dual texture is: both sides are how to have teeth and because they both have teeth. It allows the scissor to just glide through and not pull the hair. So I go through their horizontal section. Working that line now I'm going to go through is a point. Cutting technique using the texture scissor, so I point cut down and I just slide out and it creates a nice movement and texture. You can see the depth from a hair color that Brian did underneath it's really cool and yeah. So we're just finishing up a few more times with the texture scissor. This is all looking at it. It'S all based on your eye and getting the hair exactly where you want it. So if you guys liked this video, definitely let me know in the comments I'm going to finish it up with a little picado hairspray, and that is the cut. I really love the shape of it. Let me know what you think in the comments. Also, let me know on FSE social comm when you download the app. Let me know what you thought of the video as well. Thank you guys so much for watching you. You
Comments
Rae Revon: Love this!! The techniques used for the detailing were perfect! i can definitely see the difference when using the tip of the shears for the neckline vs trying to go in and making a straight line with the full blade! Also using the firm hold hairspray to detail the angle in the front was a perfect idea! will definitely try this one soon!!!
Sarah Carlstedt: Amazing, perfect a line bob! I'll be replicating this cut on a client today. Thank you! I love your videos and I feel like I've grown so much as hairdresser just taking in all the info you and Brian share!
Taylor Huff: I absolutely love the hairspray trick! Thank you so much for sharing! The haircut looks amazing! ❤️
Amber Smith: I like how you mentioned about continuing one side or 1 section before starting the other. I feel like that would be the reason why I can get so lost sometimes in the middle of my cuts because I go back and forth from section to section. I absolutely love doing these style cuts but your wet cutting technique with one in particular just makes it so easy!
Madison Rilee: Love this design! Beautiful technique throughout. Definitely will have to try this
H. Hochman: Thank you again so much with this video! Bobs are the hardest haircuts for me! I can never get it right and I've been a hairstylist for 6 years now ☹️ definite need to practice with a mannequin head and need some new shears! I use trimmers in the back to clean up instead of shears. I feel like I can't cut and fine tune that neck line like you can. I tried about 5 years ago and cut my clients neck...never did that technique again
Tiffany M: I love it!!! its beautiful! I'm a stylist as well so I always love getting tips on how to perfect the Bob!
Star Shine: Wow! You are amazing! I will be doing this cut on my 11 year old autistic daughter. You did such a beautiful job and your super easy to listen to and follow.

Priscilla Delavega: great job!! I love learning new tricks & thank you for explaining everything with very detailed steps. in real time how long did this haircut take you from start to end? I'm trying to work on my time at the salon.
Ke Ke: I love the fact that u do a lot of the same cuts but show different ways to spice it up and different techniques. This helps with people trying to learn these cuts and a better understanding of the head shape and what will happen with the hair if done different ways. My biggest problem with cutting was wondering what would happen if I was on certain areas of the head and these step by steps help me a lot when that are different variations of the cuts

I just finished 2nd year at a hairdressing high school...i love hairdressing soo much,and watching your videos helps me learn :) you are amazing ! keep the videos comming please....i just love watching them :) ....

Im seeing it a lot, A-line and looking mid length at the front but short at the back. Also some bobs are pulled out square and appear like a short cut, but then go into a graduation at the front. So many bobs!!! Can you help Matt?

If that is even a real hair cutting term.... LOL... I'm just a crazy lady with wild hair ideas for my 48year old self. I don't know if my stylist is versed enough to do it. And actually, I want to know the best way to communicate what I want to have her do before we start. Can you please offer any ideas or suggestions?

Larry Langford: Only one person has ever got the A line haircut right on me. I have asked for this cut each time I have gone to a Salon and the only one who ever got it right was in Monticello, Utah. Everyone else just cuts my hair which is very fine into a short bob. I am now in the process of growing it out and going to my sister's hairdresser whom she says she really likes.
