Kimberly Caldwell Haircut - Medium Length Shag Bob Tutorial | Thesalonguy

Hey everyone steven is salon guy here and i want to thank you all for your requests and for watching all my videos. It really means so much to me. So we've got a really cool request: Kimberly Caldwell. She was a finalist on American Idol. Um and she's got you know amazing voice, but she's also got a really really cool haircut kind of like they, the shag edgy medium like Bob, which is really really cool and a heavy fringe. So I'm going to show you guys how to achieve the Kimberly. Caldwell haircut and hair style all right, so Kimberly's haircut, pretty much is a layered. You know kind of shag, real edgy Bob and we're going to bring this pretty close into here - probably right about here as far as the length in the back and then we're going to angle this down towards the front and create a lot of layers. So the first thing I want to do is we're going to establish our baseline. All right, you can do that by using your comb and bringing it straight down, and that will be kind of like your ruler, telling you exactly where we're going to cut that. So let's say we're going to cut it about right here and you hold the comb straight against the head, the teeth and just simply follow it, but kind of like like it's a ruler, alright, no tension and create a nice straight line, and this is going to Be your base throughout the back and then everything is going to angle towards the front going shorter to longer this way. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my next section here and we're going to start to build up the layering? Okay and again, this is pretty layered throughout the back and it's got a nice rounded shape to it. So we are going to add a lot of layers to this, so I'm going to go through the first section right down the middle and I'm going to comb using the fine teeth and you're going to see your guide underneath there. Alright and seeing where your guide is on the bottom, it's going to give you a good idea of where you want to start top layer here to match up with the bottom length in the bottom layer just like that. Okay - and that is going to start and hope, create that layered shape and we're going to do is just slightly over direct to the previous section, because we do want to leave a little bit of length going towards the front and the sides and just going to Connect this alright, I'm just going to bring this section in here, as you can see, I'm slightly over directing towards the center, not all the way to the center, but slightly back to the previous section. Again, it's going to create a little bit of weight, but also length moving towards these sides in the front creating shorter to longer, and then this last section here bring this straight back and you're going to see your guide right there and we're going to cut straight Down palm to palm - and there is your last section right there - and this is the kind of shape it creates, as you can see here, alright shorter to longer, and sometimes you might get a couple little bits that need to be cut and there you have it. So this is the start of the first side here. What I'm going to do is now do this on the other side and then we're going to move into the next step. Now I'm working up the head now just past the occipital and again following the head, shape, combing it straight out from the head. There'S the guide on the bottom underneath towards the knuckle and we're combing everything pretty much straight out from the head and we're going to be following the same pattern until we get to the very very top. So let me continue to do this and I'm going to work this in right through the top here and then I'll come back and explain and show how everything's looking now it's time to switch body position and what I'm going to do is. As you see, my elbow is now pointing up and what I'm doing is I'm following around the head shape, which is going to create that full nice rounded look I'm going to do that all the way throughout the back of the head reaching into this section in Through here and that's what's going to create the fullness around this again, if you hear we're going to over direct back just because we don't want to cut too much or you know of the length throughout the side, so we're going to over direct that. So we allow for that way to live in through here. Okay. So I'm just going to continue this on the other side here and then we'll be able to determine and see where we're going to bring our length in through the sides all right. Now that the back is complete now you see, we've got a nice rounded shape into here. It'S got lots of layers and it's really really cool and nice and edgy so, but we still have a lot of work to do now, time to work in the sides. Here now, what I'm going to do is going to be pretty simple. I'M going to do this really by eye all right, I'm going to create the length just visually, and do it really just by hand without using the comb and I'm just going to, and you can see the silhouette of how this is going to come in this Way so, and then also based on the pictures, I'm just going to freehand this just like that and there you have it. Okay, that's pretty much it. I'M gon na do the same thing on the other side and then we're going to start with the layering. On top all right now, my favorite part, and especially with this hair, because it's really really fun these layers now or have to be connected into the top. We also have to keep the length as well, so here's how we're going to do that. We do have to connect this, I mean, then this is my pretty traditional method of connecting the front. The back is, there is the length how it's going to fall off the layers that you don't want to cut and then we're going to round it out like that. Alright, now we're going to do this connecting the whole back to the front here or the top and then we're going to work in through the sides. I remember we have to keep the length all right, but we also have to create lots of layers. So the only way to do that is by over directing okay and the over directing is going to allow you to keep the length, but also have the really short kind of funky layers that she has throughout the top. So now that we have this established okay, this is this is the part on top? This is the layers right here. We also have to keep that length, but here's how we do that, so we're going to cut this straight down. Okay and there's going to be our top guide right there, it's about probably notice I'd, say, and you have three about two and a half three inches long by the top. What we're going to do is bring everything up to this center right here, which is again over directing, and what that's going to do is going to preserve the length, we'll also remove the weight and create lots of layers so we're over directing over directing cutting straight Across holding everything straight up from the head, all right, removing that weight, but now that we get down in through here we're going to over direct this to the center and look as you can see, barely anything is coming off. Alright and that's what's really cool all right, here's the result here, as you can see, here's the here's, the layers um coming in through out the top and the side, there's all the that really cool movement. As you turn around there, we have the round shape and through here, okay now for the bangs, this was this mannequin previously had bangs already. So I just wanted to work this in a little bit more um and again she's got coming over from the side here. So I'm just going to slide it just through out fun here, alright, just a taper in any little pieces, and I put a lot of texturizing on these bangs previously, so they already have lots and lots of texture to them. But now what I want to do is I really want to get in there and texturize this haircut, I'm going to do that by using chopping into the hair like this, creating a lot a lot of texture, a lot of movement and a lot of you know: Separation, when you need to style it really really kind of more edgy. Okay. This is a great way to do this. You want to you close the scissor and you pull on the way out like that. So you're, not really, you know, you're not hurting yourself by cutting into your finger, but this is really really a great way. Also, you can do some slide cutting like this, which is going to really enhance the shape a little bit again. It takes out great. You know weight, but in this in a kind of a soft subtle way and just really have a lot of fun with this. Alright again some slide cutting remember. This haircut is designed to be really really edgy, but also fun and cool, and sleek too, when you need to have it like that, so this is pretty much it. What I'm going to do is I'm going to blow dry it and then we'll come back and see the finished result. Alright, here's what we got so far. I think it looks great, as you can see, it's got beautiful shape to it and I just want to soften it up a little bit. So I'm gon na go with the razor and I'm going to see where this is the shorter pieces. It is into the top here and then I'm going to just lightly go in by hand and just wherever I want to just kind of notch in and slide through the bottom here, just to create a little extra texture and a little more movement threaded and you Can do that just by simply just going in lightly with the razor you know, you're not taking out too much but you're just creating a little more a movement into it, as you can see here with what it's doing? Okay, just creating a little more shape in through here now, I'm just going to work on this side also, and we will pretty much be done with the look as far as styling it. You know, she's warranted, so many different ways. You know she's got the part going pretty far over here throughout the top here, which i think is cool and you know she's got it word flips out, she's got you know some styles to where it was a little more. You know sleek like this, but really the styling is up to you um, but I think this looks great. I think it's a really good haircut. You know for various different looks uh. You know this is pretty much like a modern kind of shaggy Bob here. You know um lots and lots of layers there. It is throughout the back. It'S got a beautiful flow to it in through here, and I think it's great for you know for anybody who's looking for a little something a little more edgy, but also wants to kind of bring back that look. That was really popular uh. You know kind of many many years ago, so thanks so much for watching guys thanks a requests and I'll see you guys soon for more tutorials
