Angled Lob Haircut Tutorial | How To Achieve The "Lived In" Long Bob Look

Ever thought about trying a shorter hairstyle, but you didn't want to lose all the length well today, I'm gon na show you how you can rock a long bob, so you got the best of both worlds: hey guys! This is Timmy McCoy here with pompadour brands. I got my client lism and today we're gon na be doing a long bob. Now we cut her hair about four or five months ago, and she actually said that was the best haircut she's ever gotten, which means a lot to me. So what we're gon na do today is recreate that look alright, so we're in go ahead and start by sectioning out the hair, I'm gon na start from the top of the head and go down behind the ear separate that and I'm gon na start on. The back with this haircut same thing, matching with the top behind the ear pushing all this forward. Take my clips just get it out of the way with her hair texture, I'm not gon na take like individual sections and just cut it from like a torso. What I'm gon na do is I'm just going to do two full sections. Now, what we're doing is a dry cut. I prefer to do dry cuts for these kind of looks and hair cuts, as opposed to doing a wet cut, mainly because it's a little more visual. I can get a better idea of how the hair is gon na lay how she would wear it everyday and pretty much. I don't have to go back after it being wet and redo the texture to get a better image. I can already start that. It'S a lot quicker of a process now for this law, it's slightly angled. So what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na create my guideline? I'M actually I like that angle a little bit better than this one. So I take this, bring it up a little bit more perfect, see our have our angle. Now it's gon na dip down about half an inch, so the back we're gon na take off three and a half inches in the front three inches and that's pretty close. What we did the first time, what I'm gon na do with this is: I want to find the middle separate just a little bit and I'm gon na start creating my guide now that there's about about three and a half, so those haircuts just gon na, be Right about the shoulder line, what I want to do is start by creating my god and I won't be point cutting it now you, if you're cutting away you can definitely go straight across, but for this it's mostly gon na be point cutting, because I want to Create those textured ends I want to make this haircut look very lived in. I want to have a bit of texture to it a little bit of edge. I don't want to be blunt or anything so I'm going to take that here's my guide and do the same thing just point cut it and also the great thing about doing a dry haircut is they can constantly go back over it and do any detailing you Need to clip off any pieces that don't need to be there and we're following the angle of the section we did so we're just gon na keep following it until we get to the very edge you can kind of see here since we're cutting a dry. I really see how it's gon na lay. If it was wet, it would be really static. The texture would be different and I wouldn't really get a good idea of how she would wear it everyday. So from here I can kind of go in and start texturizing. The ends a little bit more now we're gon na do some layers with this haircut. What I'm also gon na do internal layers, meaning with the ends and also in the mid section of the hair. Now how I'm gon na do that is I'm gon na? Take a sub section same angle about that big, bring it up and basically just point cut these pieces. I don't want to take too much hair off because I don't want to leave a hole or anything. So you can kind of see it's gon na have a nice triple down effect, they're, really subtle. We can get a good idea of how you curl it and just wear it. Go back over take up any pieces that don't need to be there and it creates like a really nice lightweight haircut. I'M gon na do the same thing. On the other side, I can. I continue to texturize this a little bit more. Take off any pieces that don't need to be there do the little trip with a comb. You flip it up and get off all that underweight. That'S good too, because when she wears her hair straight, it's not gon na pop out stick out! It'S gon na look! Nice and even the same thing like we do the other side, taking this doing some internal layers, taking it out and just point cutting that I'm gon na point this downward making sure that's all even take out any flyways. Besides still a little bit longer. Something do the same thing and I'm always trying to keep this angle in mind. Alright, we're going to take it out and do the exact same thing with the top sections. So we got the top section down. You can kind of see my guy behind the hair. I'M just gon na follow it pretty much. You can hold it down with the comb. If you want to get the hair really straight, you can go at it and freehand it. I'M gon na use up the comb just start following that. Guy right until I get to the middle right there, the same thing I'm just gon na, follow this right to the edge taking out these fly ways, and I want to make sure that it's even when she wears it forward and I'm also back so you can See still a little bit longer right there and it's thick too, so I go in and cut that as well, just really trying to break up that weight. Still a few pieces right here now it's a great thing about dry. Cutting too is you can really just go back over whatever things that you see differently and like oh, I want to fix that. I want to keep it like that. If it's, what you won't really see that until you blow dry and then you can have to redo the process, so it's just much faster and a lot more efficient. If you were to do dry, my next take it a little bit shorter when we get to the front so right now it's looking like it's an inch difference. I can. I want to take that's just half an inch, but it's definitely okay. We can always go back over the detailing change it up a little bit same thing on this side. You can already see there's a good amount of texture. Just at the ends same thing like we did up top still keeping the horizontal sections. I'M gon na take out some weight just at the top, and you see these pieces are falling down. Those are our internal layers, which is a good sign. That means that we have a good amount in there, we're gon na try and match that up now, I'm not gon na cut it to D, because I want these to be very soft and subtle layers. Once we do the next stage of layers, those are gon na be a little sharper. They'Re gon na have more contrast to them. When you curl, the hair, you're gon na be able to see the difference, but if you wear it straight, they're not gon na. Be that noticeable so where it's like how it looks choppy it's gon na have a nice smooth, sleek finish when it's straight and when it's curly or wavy it'll have a good amount of texture. So we're trying to create a versatile look with this and she should be able to wear it in multiple ways and now we're gon na start on the right side. We'Re basically gon na connect. What we finished with a back to the front - and I said I wanted to take it a little bit shorter. Instead of being an inch difference, it's gon na be half an inch really easy fix. All I want to do is just make sure I don't angle it too much. I'M gon na take it with my comb and divert the angle. It'S just a little bit still trying to make it match what the guide until she left check, see if there's any underweight just a little bit right there yeah now, you can see that angle is not as sharp it's a little more soft. It'S exactly what we want with this, so we're gon na take that and just carry it on all the way to the front, and you can kind of see what I mean by like how it kinda hair dry is very visual, I'm just seeing how it lays And any places I need to fix, I can easily do so and I'm just creating a lot of movement and texture with it still have that guy and meeting up to the front it's about three inches right there, that's perfect! You can see that angle and it straightens out just a bit now we're gon na do the same thing on the other side. Okay, so we got the length established and a little bit of texture on the ends. What we're gon na do now is we're going to take some layers up around the top and around the midsection break those up and create some nice contrast in the haircut. So how we're gon na do that is pretty similar to what we did originally with the internal layers. The only thing is we're just going to do vertical sections this time and you could either bring them up if you want or bring them down, but when you bring them up, you have a better idea of where your guide is, and you can kind of see My guide is right there, so I'm going to take off all this length, I'm gon na bring it down, and even it out, I'm gon na angle it just a little bit. You can kind of see it's gon na have a trickle-down effect where the layers are going up about an inch and a half. So I'm gon na repeat that, through the back find my guide off all this length when we do with that afterwards, I'm gon na go back over and texturize it. So it's not blunt or anything just do some deep point cutting and try and break up those lines. So the layers look seamless, effortless and just have a nice kind of body to them. It'S deep one cut this, bring that down and kind of creates a nice texture through here. It might seem like I'm taking off a lot of length, but really it's just wait. She still has a lot of her length here. Okay, now we're gon na start on the other side, we'll do the right side same exact thing, starting off with vertical sections, bring them up finding my guide all right there, I'm just taking that all the way to the front of the head and the closer. I get to the head, the less I'm going to take off just because that part is the longest part of the haircut when it comes to her initial length, so I kind of want to match it up with that. I want to take too much off. You can see, as we get closer to the front, the guy gets shorter. So it's almost no guide at this point, so we're going to go and kind of stir our deep cutting same thing just working our way back all right. We do the same thing on the other side, all right, so we finished the haircut we're gon na be using pompadour professionals, volumizing mists, it's a very lightweight mist that has body and volume. What you want to do is you want to spray it towards the roots and what it's gon na do? Is it's gon na lift them? You can do that by scrunching it up. You can do this to what hair towel dried, hair or dry hair we're gon na drag it through the ends. Just gon na add a little bit of body and volume to it. We'Re gon na go ahead and use a flatiron to add the wave. Now a flatiron is gon na create these really nice effortless waves, a very lived in kind of look we're not gon na curl. It too tight we're just gon na. Do it enough, that's where it has a bit of weight in it, so we're going to start by actually doing horizontal sections and a lot of people always say that you should always curl the hair away from the face, which is true, especially when dealing with top. But for this look we're actually gon na curl towards the face at the lower sections well at the lowest section and then, as we get closer to the top we're gon na switch it up. So we're going to do towards the face away from their face towards the face away from the face and then to finish off away from the face, so we're gon na start towards the face right, straighten it out. First, we're just do a really quick run-through and drag it out. You can kind of see face. It'S nice weight to it once you run your hands through it. It'S really gon na break that up now we're going to do it again towards the face. The bottom section you can do everything away from the face, but I find that over the course of the day the curls or waves will end up falling into just one single curl, all going in the back. So this is kind of to prevent that and still create a textured look. Okay, so then we're gon na take a section above that and do the opposite ring go away from my face strain it out once by the way, I'm curling it is, I'm always holding the Flatiron vertical, I'm taking a quick run through 360 degrees holding this down And pushing through you don't want to stall anywhere, otherwise, they'll create some lines supposed to be nice and easy. Take it full spin grab those ends and drag it through, and then I always like to push these mountains and strain them out a little bit. You can already see all those layers that we did is creating this a nice texture trying to work our way to the top. You can kind of see here actually there's a bit of a line right there. So, in order to get rid of that, you just take it and straighten it out. That'S if you hold it too long or have it kind of an awkward angle. It'S gon na create that buzz, easy fix. Alright, we're gon na work on the other side. Now same concept, keeping it towards the face away from the face towards the face away from the face. All right ring go ahead and start in the back. You got the sides curled now for the back, since her hair is shoulder length, it's gon na be kind of hard to be able to get a nice full curl with the flat iron. You would need like a really small one to fit it through. I don't even know if they make one that small but there's multiple ways you can kind of get around this. Sometimes you can take it and going in the same direction. So this section here would match up with the section in the front, so we would go towards the face. You can do a half curl so quickly, just move it and kind of create a bent in the hair and I'll do that. You can straighten it out. I'Ll kind of pick this nice curl for the most part, this is gon na, be hidden by the layers and everything. So it doesn't really matter that much, but another way you could do. It is straighten this out to get a clean canvas. You can kind of wiggle the Flatiron up and down, so you can take it up down up down and it kind of creates just like this nice loose wave right there so you'd another one. I think for this, look, though, to match it up with these kind of curls, I'm just gon na do a half just like that, see that one right there easily get rid of that and then once we get to the middle section, I'm gon na switch it And go that way now, since the hair is long enough, we're just going to do our full curls like we did in the front the sides all the way to the top. So what I'm doing now is I'm just breaking up the waves. I'M adding a lot of movement through the hair can lean our head back. I can stretch this out. The back can really see all those layers pop now that we did nice and textured good contrast to the front, bring some of these pieces down a little bit perfect all right. So we finished the waves, we're gon na finish the entire look by using a pompadour professional. It'S dry shampoo, we're using it as a texture spray, but it's also good for you know when you're a few days after washing it, and you want to keep it clean, keep that grit. This is a great product to use so pretty much. What I'm doing is just taking it running my hands through it as I spray and just creating a lot of buildup and texture when you're head back to to get some better angles, I'm gon na push it all forward and I'm doing it in little spurts cuz. I don't want to really saturate the hair. I just want to get a good amount of texture in there lightly same thing. On this side, I'm gon na work. Your way can we get it to the roots if you want and we're gon na do with this? Do I take it and piece it how we want again moving my hands through it, getting sections out there and also taking it and scrunching up this to create a little bit of volume that volumizing mist will come in handy when you do that, you can take Some pieces get something messy looks in here. It'S just a very simple lift and look that you can wear any time any day, all right. So we finished the haircut in the style. We ended up doing an angled, lob and added a lot of texture with the layers for the products before we add some wave. If we did the pompadour professional volumizing mist, it had a lot of body to the roots lifted them up and created a nice amount of texture. After we added pompadour professionals dry shampoo, we used it in place of a hair spray, mainly because we wanted to add more texture and use it basically as a texture spray. So I think this came out perfect, so just finished, the haircut Tim did a great job. I thought I liked the haircut he did the first time better, but I think this is the best one yet, so these products smelled really good.
