Thanks for being Part Of The FSE FAMILY!
Me to come alright guys so on today's vlog. What I'm going to do is take a graduated Bob that we cut a few haircuts ago and I'm going to turn that into a layered Bob haircut, which I think you guys will like a lot. It'S very usable salon friendly here is the end result, so you can see how it kind of stacks up a little bit more in the back. It'S a little sleeker, it's not so fat. It'S got the layers around the face, so it's a nice and sleek look and the cool thing about this cut and why I want you to hang in there until the very end is that I'm going to show you through the wet cut, then I'm going to Show you what it looks like when you blow-dry the wet cut, it's an unfinished bob: it's not dry cut it. There'S no dry, cutting no texturizing, so the haircut just it doesn't. The shape is too much it's. It'S got too much weight buildup. So I'm going to show you guys how to take that away. So that's what I really think you're going to get from this haircut. So just hang in there watch till the end. When you get to the end, let me know I love seeing that and also to answer your guys's questions about the mannequin heads. I use a mannequin head every day because of the fact that I'm creating a video every day, so it's very hard to find a real model, and I don't want to use my clients because I don't feel like throwing my clients and videos is really the way. I want to do business, so I use the mannequin head. Thank you to pivot point for sending me tons of mannequin heads that allow me to do the vlog they're big supporters of it, and and that's pretty much it so here we go we're going to get started with our step by step, all right guys, we're going To start off this haircut by taking a right-hand side parting down to mid crown, then across mid crown and down the parietal Ridge. What this is going to do is give me a little bit of an offset kind of a symmetrical rectangle on the top of the head. Then I go straight down Center back and separate. The two sides clip it away and now I'm going to work diagonal forward. Partings and start my cutting, so I want to work with the head shape here. The whole point of that is, I'm collapsing the shape so we're creating more of a layered Bob. This is from a previous haircut where we did a complete horizontal graduated Bob. Now we're switching it to a vertical diagonal forward, layered Bob, which is going to take out a lot of the weight in the haircut so depending on how your guest wants to wear their hair. There'S two different options for you. So, just working bringing everything straight back to the previous section, so I'm working my way across the back, just bringing it back slightly about an inch back to the previous parting. To make my cut now, I work vertically, so I shift from diagonal forward to vertical when I get to right behind the ear, and I work that all the way back, bringing everything straight back to a stationary guide at this point, what this is going to do Is push a ton of weight to the front? So that's something that we're going to address later in the haircut, but just keep that in mind when you're over directing something all the way back to a stationary guide, you're going to have a lot of weight it as the end result when the hair falls forward. So working diagonal forward still this the big switch here is that my fingers are now pointing down. On the other side, my fingers were pointing up. The reason for that is. It allows me to comb my new hair towards the middle of the head towards the guide. You never we talked about this over and over again, you never want to comb the guide to the new hair, because that shifts the guide from where it lives, and if you do that, you're making the guide shorter, which is going to make one side of your Hair cut shorter so to keep consistent, you need to comb the hair the same exact way on both sides of the head, so working vertically. Another key thing to look at is how the head shape curves up around the crown. That'S obviously going to give us our graduated point, so we we're layering the hair past the occipital bone to low crown, and then, when we get to the mid crown part, you can see that the elevation of the hair is actually more at a zero degree angle. So that's going to give us our weight line, they're, bringing everything straight back, pushing that weight forward, just keeping nice clean sections, I'm using the fine teeth of the comb. That'S helping keep more tension on the hair and that's pretty much it. It'S a pretty simple, structured haircut, and I think this is a very common haircut that you'll see people doing in the salon. The big thing that I want to go a little bit is how we can kind of make adjustments to that to make it have a more modern feel, so we're going to go through the back, we're going to work diagonal back through the crown area. What I want to do is take and just blend in the crown to the bottom more around the occipital high occipital bone area, so I'll take my guide from top of the occipital bone just and then just follow it straight up, so keeping that weight line in There but just blending it a bit. Everything is being over directed back to that one point, so you can see that there's a slight bit of over Direction coming away from me, which is going to push that kind of weight around the corner, and it's going to be a little bit longer right behind The ear which I like that feeling so everything's going to come back to that guide is going to be stationary there, so you can see in the bottom left diagram how I kind of angle, the haircut so we're cutting short to long just keeping a little bit Of extra length in there you comb everything back until you run out of hair and then you're good to go now we're going to start our blow-dry do a flat, wrap blow-dry, and what I want to do is show you guys the what this end result would Look like pre-dry haircutting, okay, so I want to pause the haircut right now, the step-by-step, because I want to talk to you about the status of where we're at in this cut. This is a haircut that I am constantly seeing all over the place. This kind of half done haircut with the stack in the back the weight on the sides. What I wanted to do is show you guys what this looks like right now and then I want to go in I'm going to do a ton of dry cutting for you guys and show you how to modernize and how to really finish. The look Simon about making it modern it's about making it functional, because there is no way you're going to wear this any other way. But this because it's so heavy, so we're going to go through take out some of the weight really create a finished. Look out of this haircut and using those dry cutting techniques. So hopefully you guys will take that from this video and use it. So here we go back to the step by step, alright guys so we're gon na start off on our dry cutting portion of the haircut I'm going through with my vibra straight iron, just polishing out the ends of the haircut. What this is doing is allowing me to see where the weight seems heavy and where we need to go in and just lighten it up a little bit. So I'm going to take a horizontal section throughout the side. I already noticed that this side is heavy. The sides are going to be heavy because we over directed everything back to a stationary guide. So now I want to go through and diffuse the weight, so I go through horizontal elevate, the hair as high as I possibly can, and just work using a Mizutani puffin dry cutting scissor. I love this scissor. It'S a five and a half inch blade goes in nice and deep into the section and just diffuses any weight. That'S build up that! I don't want so going through horizontally in the back as well doing the same thing, elevating it nice and high not trying to take or create a line at this point, just diffusing some of the weights. So what I'll do is I'll? Take that section I'll? Actually look in there and see where the density seems heaviest and then, if I see a really dense spot, that's where I'll do most of my point cutting. So I'm not going through there evenly and cutting I'm going through there and actually visually looking to see where it's really heavy so right there. You can see that part's heavy, so I'm going to go through and diffuse that a little bit same thing on the top work. That line out a little bit go a little bit deeper, just removing that way. Creating that texture and a lot of movement and modernizing the haircut so same thing here going through you can see how the ends you can see light through there and then, as it gets a little bit deeper. There'S it's more dense, so you're just going in there and polishing and removing that now we're going to do the same thing, but we're going to actually cut a line, but a nice broken line, because I want to create a more side angled fringe in the front. Nothing crazy, I'm not trying to create a short bang in the haircut, but just something soft. It lays across her cheekbone so working a diagonal forward section over directing it to myself to a stationary guide, but the guide is is really diffused because we're doing some deep point cutting they're now going through slide cutting using the same scissor. This is a good look at the Mizutani puffin, just going through gliding through the hair. The reason a dry cutting scissor is so good is because the blade is so thick. It has a ton of power when you go in to cut hair, so it can get through pretty much anything and that's what makes it a great dry cutting scissor. So I'm just going through. You can see how I push the top away and then I slide cut, and then I pull the top back around. That'S because I wanted to almost disconnect the underneath. You don't have to go through and slide cut the entire side of the head. What you want to do is go in and just diffuse. The bottom then push the top over and it makes it look nice and soft. Then I'll go through a little tease, cutting connect, it all together, same thing on the opposite side, just going through slide, cutting just to break up and add that texture into the haircut I'm always going through and working with my hands. When I move it with my hands, it just allows me to see kind of how it's going to fall and how that texture is going to move within the haircut. The last thing I'm going to do, I got my Mizutani type Z, dual texture scissor, so both sides have teeth and I just go through and glide into the back portion, just to add again more texture and movement, and then I always blow out the hair to Get all those loose hairs out of it and to kind of bring life back into the haircut. That'S how it's, how I see it so we're going through I've got the ergo paddle brush working through it, and then I just finish it with a little bit of hairspray and she is good to go so hope.

Comments
Julianne Gribble: I'm not even a hair stylist and I can't stop watching these. it's like magic
Dolls: Love love love this haircut! I want my hair done with this style! Great job as usual!
Cara Starr Hair: Made it to the end. I spent most of today watching your videos, including this one. Had a client contact me just now asking for a haircut inspired by "Queenie" from the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". I instantly thought of the techniques from this video and will be diagramming the cut tomorrow to prepare for her Tuesday appointment. If you have any advice to that end, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for all of the information that you share. It is so invaluable.
Jo Sweet: HI Matt, loving your videos they are really helping me with my training :). I am going to be doing this cut on a friend of mine this week (perfect timing for video) I would just like to ask... she has really thin hair so would I be better leaving the bulk to make it look thicker or still dry cut/texture to make it have more volume? Thanks Jo xx
Patricia Flores: Love this HC!!!! Thank u for taking time to show us how to do new haircuts !!!!!!!!!
Krystin Pérez: Very simple way of explaining the bob!! I love it I’ll probably use this technique as a foundation for all my bobs!!!
Leah Hogan: I did this haircut today. It worked out great! Thank you thank you. It was great to get good solid shape. Really appreciate your expertise and sharing your skills.
S Curtis: I want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. You honestly give inspiration with every video
Jennifer Kelly: I adore this Matt! I requested an appointment with you! Thank you so much for making these videos!!!
Lauren Eileen mua: This is exactly the type of video I have been looking for to help me understand how to take out the weight of a graduated bob to further my understanding of dry hair-cutting techniques and how it effects the hair in any style - Thank you so much!!
Anna Brock: Love this cut... I was a pivot point student, they're amazing. Great job!
Adz Monroe: Aspiring hair dressers are so lucky to have YouTube videos to watch over and over again to learn your craft. I wish I had this pre you tube days as it took a long time to master the art of hair and yes, I still struggle from time to time. Matt, you are amazing. You were born to do hair
Patricia Flores: Love this HC!!!! Thank u for taking time to show us how to do new haircuts !!!!!!!!!
Terri S.: I've been watching your tutorials for a while now and just subscribed. Your are an amazing artist. Love, love, love this haircut!
Client84: I've been enjoying your videos for a while now. I really like how consistent you are with your haircuts! I think thats the biggest challenge as a hairstylist is being comfortable and consistent with your combing. I work in a corporate type salon that values quantity over quality and it can be quite monotonous. Watching your videos gives that inspiration and artistry that I do crave. :) Also I like that version of The Knife's Heartbeats lol :)
Janet Caterina: I really appreciate your technique. I have been trying to request a long version of this but hairdressers don't seem to know how to do it. If wavy hair is cut in graduated layers, it will curl, but as you say, if the cut is not finished properly, there is only one way you can style the hair.
Christy Talley: I'm going to use this on my client this weekend just a longer version I think. Always love these videos, I learn something new every time I watch one I swear! Thank you Matt!!
luxuryedition78: Wonderful job! Mind you, when you film pixie cuts and bobs in the future, make sure that you actually film where exactly you part each section. Love your tutorials! Keep it up!✅
Danielle O'Connor: So glad I watched through the end! Exceptional job. I have never watched one of your videos in which I did not learn at least 3 things. You guys are much appreciated.
Helen Mutter: love the slide cutting on the bottom to remove that weight! As always such a great tutorial, thank you! Best wishes from the UK, you're awesome!
JustJoshinYa54: Thank you for showing the difference before the dry cutting!!!! Love the cut!!!

I have watched a lot of videos on cutting and your are definitely some of the best out there... you go section by section and your explanations are detailed.. some of the top stylists either have no explanations of the cut section, just music, or it lacks reasoning and details about the cut.. definitely love your work.. thank you..
Bradley Packer: haaha made it :) got to laugh at your heavy bob cut before texturising, i think the texturising is the main part of the haircut, i see that alot here, gotta get myself some of those dry cutting scissors, i use my japanese cobalt 7" scissors but like you said, they get blunt quickly when doing alot of dry cuts
