Textured Long Bob Haircut Tutorial

What i like to do is divide up the head kind of where all the main curves happen. Welcome to today's class super excited to have you guys all here with me. I'M gon na show you guys a shorter haircut with this connection through the top we're gon na be cutting some with scissors. Some precision cutting with scissors and we're gon na do some razoring on top as well. So we got the mannequin here, nice long length, hair. What we're going to be doing is i'm going to section it off real quick. I want to keep the sectioning as simple as possible, so what we're going to do is we're going to comb the mannequin straight back and i'm going to go straight down center back. What i like to do is divide up the head kind of where all the main curves happen split straight down center back so now, what we're going to do is we're going to find that division point. The division point is where the hairline extends from the crown. If you go to the crown of the head and you draw a line straight down - that's where we want to go, but the reason we do that is because we're separating the different densities in the head. So now we've separated front and back and so we've got side to side and then our top view straight down the center, and now we're going to go straight down center back all right. So now slight diagonal forward parting here so now we've got our sectioning and what i'm going to do is i'm going to start working horizontal when you think about a horizontal haircut or horizontal section being taken a lot of you guys think about that as being heavier Than a vertical section, what i want to share with you guys today is that's really all based on your elevation, so we tend to want to drop our hand down when we're cutting horizontally. Just because that's what you naturally want to do your hand wants to fall when you cut vertically your hand, doesn't really want to shift or fall. So you get a much better control with your elevation today. I really want to go in and just cut this horizontally. I'M actually going to take these sections a little bit deeper. Now, i'm going to cut this in my hand, so i'm going to start right in the center. So it's just going to give me a little bit lighter line when the hair falls comb it now. My next comb or my last comb will be underneath, bringing it to the point of elevation that i had on the previous section, i'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side. If i'm elevating it too much, it's going to really diffuse out that line. If i keep it low enough see how the line starts to gather together, that's how you know your guide is where it should be. So now i'm going to continue up the head a little bit right here, i'll take about a half inch section when you work horizontally, you don't want to work too thick of a section. You know you can see your guide through it really well. So my elevation just goes up just a little bit and now i'm going to point cut this line because i do want it precise and the precision can come from my finger angle and the elevation do the same thing on the opposite side. Here most important part is this up and down it's too far down it's going to be heavy too far up it's going to be layer, so you got to find that balance so combing down right, but then, instead of only combing down, which is forcing this hair Down, i want to scoop the last section up and just give it a little extra elevation and then come in and point cut so now. What are we going to do? How are we going to even make this softer and add texture to it? What i would like to do, actually i'm going to do one more section, because i want to work my way up the head just a little bit more then once i get about here, then i'm going to let this drop off, i'm actually going to blow dry. This bottom smooth it out let the wet hair drop over and soften it with a razor. I think that that's going to be kind of our best bet for the look we're going for we're going to cut this using our point cutting technique, but then we're going to go in with our razoring after so here's what i'm going to do now, i'm going To blow it dry so now i'm just going to add a little iron work, so i work through here and i'll work now the base just at this very bottom part with a little more tension. So now i can pinch these little sections just like this and i can soften it. So this is my tri-razor now. What i want to do is i want to look at what length i want to cut these pieces now just kind of work through i'm softly. No pressure at all cutting through this to let it kind of just lay over top of it, but now all of this is now the side section of my haircut now. If i want to add a little texture to this, i can go right through here and i can go 25 texture just to etch in some little areas, all right. So what i'm going to do is i'm going to blow this dry. We use a little bit of palmetto sculpting foam. So when i get about 80 percent dry, you start to see it dry and frizzy. That'S where your hair is. At that point, i had a little bit of hot off the press. This is a paul mitchell styling product as well just adding a little spacing to the hair so coming through here sliding the scissor down just adding a little space.
