Medium Length Curly Haircut Step By Step - Thesalonguy

Hey, what's up guys Steven a salon guy here - and I have Robin next to me - Robin is absolutely stunning how you doing yeah good good. So this is really really amazing and I'm really happy to have Robin here today. As you can see, she's got gorgeous really curly beautiful hair, and what we're going to do is we're going to bring up the length a little bit. Give it like a nice trendy haircut. Add a lot of layers to it to kind of bring a little more life to it and a little more shape as far as the curls go. So if you can really kind of scrunch it and work a little more creative and have a more volume, a little more texture to it, and this is really going to be good. We'Re going to do kind of a step by step, which I know you guys love, so I'm ready to go. Let'S get started, okay, guys, so Robin is pretty much sectioned off ready to go and I parter her hair down the middle. Just because you know she does wear it a little more over to this side, but I want to give her the flexibility to kind of switch it over and where both sides, that's also going to be good for the layering as well. So it's really going to balance it all out really nicely because if I cut it on the part over this way, it might be a little more heavy on this side. So I figure that's part in the middle, and so what I'm doing now is creating a division point which separates the front and the back okay. This is pretty standard basic stuff. You always want to do that, and especially with curly hair, you want to give yourself a pretty clear vision and now keep in mind. This is also very crucial to is sometimes people hit their hair down on the bottom here, um, sometimes there's like no breakage or it's a little finer or just look down a little bit, and sometimes the section is so thin that when you're cutting it, you know It'S deceiving because this section might be up to here and next thing: you pull the next thing down it's down here and you're like woah. It'S too too late, you chopped off a whole bunch of hair. So what I'm gon na do is I'm just going to take it a little bit thicker section this way. I can really have a nice thick base here and a lot of my hair cuts. I always say that the base is really the key to everything. You know once you have a good solid base, then it's easy to work off of that, so I'm just going to clip this up, get this out of the way here and my first section I'm going to take as a me kind of right down the middle. This is pretty standard, but what you want to do is we're going to establish where the length is going to be with curly hair. Obviously it pops up. So if I cut it say to like right here to her neck, it's going to like jump up to like here, so you definitely want to be careful. You don't want to cut it too short and since we're layering it everything is really going to jump up. So I'm going to cut it to about right here - okay, which is right here and when it pops up, it's probably going to go up just a little bit okay to about right here, so it's going to give it a nice shape. So it's still going to be is still going to have some length to it, but at the same time it's going to be just enough for that style. So it's going to really bring out the shape. So now what I'm doing is cutting everything straight across and establishing my length, and this is really really cool, because this type of haircut is going to be a really nice trend, a really nice style, it's great for curly hair. It'S going to give it some life and it's going to she's going to be able have a lot of fun with it. What I'm doing here in the corners and I've done this before, is I'm going to keep it within this one area and through here I'm not bringing it over here, because I want to maintain length into the corners here so that I can connect it into the Sides great so there we go, there's the length it's going to fall, probably round right, just pass your shoulders here and it's going to be awesome. So now I'm going to take the next section right here, which is I really just taking two sections, I'm going to comb this straight down again right in the middle there's my guide right there. You can check underneath again just to make sure and we're cutting straight across. So if you're, if you're following along and you're doing this, you can pause a video you can continue, but I'm going to just finish this up here. On the side I mean on the back into the corner and then we're going to come back in and then connect the sides alright. So I just sprayed our hair down again just to make sure it's nice and damp with curly hair. You always want to spray. It and keep it pretty wet, because does it have this in to dry pretty quickly? So now here's where, by leaving this corner in through here that helped us out because now can maintain the length coming around this way, which is cool. If we rounded this off, then it would be like up here and it would not be cool and Robin would stab me okay. So what we're going to do is basically cut it exactly where it falls. So I'm standing pretty much right here and now I'm just going to simply connect it. As you can see now, we've got that perfect shape going in through this way and we can continue working into the front. So now I'm going to just take this piece here and we're going to follow the guide and now what we're going to do is we're going to be creating some some layers and some face framing. So what I like to do right here is start working upwards. This way and creating my shape right through here, because this is going to help me with my base again, the base is totally crucial to cutting and by doing this now you're giving yourself kind of a head start. So I'm angling, my fingers up, there's the the length right there and I'm going to cut downwards into it. I'M just creating a nice kind of phrase face frame to give myself a head start and then, when I go back in and layer it, then it's really going to pop and we're going to probably cut it even a little bit shorter. But now that I have this established, I'm happy with this. Now I'm going to spin around and we're gon na do the same thing on the other side. So this is probably the easiest part of the haircut, but it's like the most crucial as well, because once you have this really this guide set - and this is like your roadmap of where to go - then you're going to be good. You can't really go wrong from here. We should start taking breaks and drinking a lot of vodka. Then you'll be in trouble. Hey you want to do that. Robin take breaks, not vodka, not just like yeah nice, alright! So once again connecting this way, so we keep our line nice and straight here and then now I'm going to work upwards this way and a lot of times it's normal. If you have a side, that's a little bit longer. You know, like I say before, some people have a good side and a bad side. I just have a bad side in a war side, so now Robins laughing at me, but she just elbowed me in the stomach. No all right! So we're looking good here. All right looks nice, and even and now what I want to do is just kind of come in here to the front and continue to extend this going upwards. This way, and what I like to do is just kind of right here, bring us all straight down and, as you can see this and this matches up so now, what I got to do is just cut that middle piece right there, so everything's looking good. So now I just want to go back, and I like to do this a lot. It says comb things forward a little bit and cut it to the guide underneath just to give myself kind of a head start, and this is a great way to make sure you're balanced. So, as you can see how important this is when you're cutting to make sure everything is really balanced, because this is the foundation of the haircut, this is really really what's going to make this a haircut really really good, so always kind of step back and you Can check it by you know shaking the hair a little bit and from what it looks like we're in good shape here so now Robin wants to see. I know that not so this is where the base is completely done. Now we're good. Now we're going to start the layering, which is definitely the next important part of this whole haircut. Okay, so now for the layering, what we're going to do is we are going to take a section right in the back here right down the middle and since we're going to be going a little bit shorter on the layers. Um. Quite a good amount of hair is going to be coming off, so I'm probably going to end up cutting like maybe half of this I'd say or maybe not a short, but right around here I'd say is where we're going to cut now you want to keep In mind that everything has to be balanced okay, so if you cut this too short, then you know yours you're finished, but if you leave it too long, it's not going to create that shape that we're looking for. So I'm going to go and start my layers, probably right here, as you can see, here's where it's going to fall right here, but then we're going to go back in and round it out. So there's my first section right here and I'm going to cut upwards as to create my guide, which is right here. Let that fall down here and then we're going to work this in through the bottom. So, just like the haircut I did with the base we're going to do it section by section and we're going to follow the pattern of the hair and now, as we get to the bottom, we're going to leave the length in the bottom. So there's the length right there you can let that fall out and now we're just going to simply cut this to where it's all balanced and even and with curly hair. Sometimes, as you know, may not know the hair likes to jump around a little bit. So it's normal to take sections and see pieces that are just coming from all over the place. All right now we're just going to follow this. There'S our guide right there and I'm establishing the length of the next section and we're just going to work this all the way into the bottom. So once you get this going, this flow going see the length dropped out, so you make sure you're leaving that there again you want to keep a solid base, but once you get going with this, then you're pretty much home free next section, and now I'm slightly Over directing more towards the center, because I want again the same thing on beginning, I want to leave a little bit of that weight and I don't want to cut out too much of those corners because that's where we're going to keep that length and keep that Weight in there, which I want to keep so comb everything back as you can see, I'm pulling straight back to preserve the length and to keep a good balance shape and you can comb it down and there we go looking good now: here's where we're getting closer To the corner, and as you can see, I'm combing straight back more towards the center. I'M not pulling it out this way. This is really really crucial and a lot of times I've seen people do that where they start to angle it out this way and you're going to end up cutting a too much hair in through here. You don't want to do that. So this is where the vision point comes in handy too, so push this out of the way you can take this in one nice section here, comb this all straight back. There'S the guide and we're just going to follow from the previous section and then right in through here. Here'S that corner pull it straight back and look see only a little bit coming off, because this is what we want to maintain. So, as this comes forward here, see we're keeping the length and we're keeping the weight as well so with curly hair, which I mentioned before, has a tendency to dry up, and you have to keep spraying it down and keeping it. You want to keep it moist. So I'm just going to go back in and now I can see it as its drying here it's got a beautiful nice shape to it and it's really bringing out her curl. So now we still have to cut this side. Let'S spray this down and we're going to the exact same thing that we did on the other side, so bring everything straight out to the center here and when we're done, we're then going to work into the top all right. So now the back is done. What I'm going to do is I'm going to connect this with the top, so we're going to let that hair that we previously cut fall out there, as you can see, and now we're going to cut to where it stops, the hair stops falling out. For my section, because this way we're cutting it perfectly symmetrical with the head shape and again this is connecting the back to the front, and this is a technique that I do all the time all right, a lot of times. People just take a section right from here: hold it comb it straight up, and then they end up cutting like a line in the end, the hair - you don't want to do that. It'S really not really blending it. So what you want to do is go to about right here to where the hair is straight up from the head and then once you're ready from here. Then this will be your guide working for this way. You don't have to touch the back anymore. It'S a meth, it's a technique that I use all the time it works well, and it's really really something. I would definitely advise you guys to start doing if you're not doing it now with. Even if it's straight hair, it does have to be curly. You know any and you've seen if you see my videos, I do it all the time, so it's really really crucial. So here we are into the corner right in through here and I'm going to over direct again this back, because I don't want to cut any of that length in through here. I want to keep that solid and the hair will fall out of your section with the hair. That'S not meant to cut believe it or not. It'S kind of like jumping out saying, don't cut me so it fold out and then you're you're safer. That way so same thing on this side, this section here in the corner, combing it straight back. There'S the guide right there. Let'S bring it up a little bit more now to follow the head shape and, as you can see now we have a nice symmetrical shape and then the last section right here in the corner again comb it straight back. You want to over direct it. There'S the hair right there that you can see it doesn't even need to be cut, nothing needs to be cut, which is a good sign. If you were to pull this up and you are - and you see like really long bits of hair or you see like huge gaps, that is definitely not good. I would leave the country at that point because it's not supposed to do that and that's going to be a result of from before. If you cut too much in that in the corners, if you ran it out too early, whereas in this shape right now, it's got really really good that weight that we're looking for so now we're going to work into the top and how we do. This is now we have our section that we cut in through here, which could be our guide for the whole rest of the haircut right here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take section just just in front of that and we're going to work in a panel kind of right down the middle. So I'm going to comb this straight across here, here's my section and if it's too thick, then you have to go back in and kind of make it thinner, but that's good! So here's the guide right here this is the worst part New Brunswick. Is these sirens. So we're going to make sure this is nice and balanced that we're pulling this straight up here. There'S the guide that we cut before, which is right here and then we're going to cut straight across, because now we can cut horizontally because we already have our guide from the back there. That is now we're going to continue this right to the front, holding everything pretty much straight up and horizontally and we're working kind of in a panel right down to the middle, because I don't want to cut the corners, because we'll do that. Next - and I always like to work kind of straight down the middle first, to make sure that it is we're not taking too much and we're keeping a good structure. There'S the guide and cut it straight across horizontally and again because of the shape that we're going for, we want to get a little more kind of curl and volume out of the whole thing. So that's why we're cutting the layers a little bit shorter and you can even go even you know more extreme. If you wanted to, it depends, let's spray this down, as you can see with curly hair, it gets a little starts to dry up pretty quickly. So just want to go back in and spray it. I always like to cut wet into dry for a lot of my haircuts, whether it's curly, whether it's straight, I always like doing that. Just because, as the hair dry, is you really get to see the shape of how it's starting to fall and even with curly hair, you see how it's all kind of coming together so and on short hair as well. Cutting wet into dry really really helps. There'S a lot of people that do dry haircuts. You know as well on curly hair, which is fine. I just don't do it as much I'm more of a you know, I'd like to keep the hair wet at first, so we're probably going to get one more. Two more sections right in the middle here, and it's calling this straight up here: there's the guide, alright and then last but not least, right here in the very front now because of the face frame that we did before we shouldn't be cutting too much, but again We'Re going shorter than the face frame, which I knew we do, but, as you can see in the very very front here this section, it's not we're not. We didn't really cut that that much because of how we set ourselves up before, which is what you want to do you just want to set yourself up. That'S why I said the base is crucial for this type of haircut or any haircut. So that's done now. Right in the middle now we're going to connect the corners and the sides - and this is also very, very crucial as well and it all comes down to a head shape. So what I'm going to do is comb this straight up or straight out from the head, and there is that corner right there, that little kind of section and what that is - is that's, creating weight and it's going to make it a little bit heavier. Now I'm going to comb it straight down, there's the side, so you don't want to cut the bottom. As you saw, the hair just fell out of my section and then BAM. Let that fall over it. That'S going to maintain a really kind of nice. Thicker clean section, especially on Robins hair, it's a little bit finer and she has a lot of it, but it's a little more the fine side. So you want to keep those sections in the base really solid, so you don't want to cut and over thin out the bottom here. A lot of people do that I've seen a lot of hair cuts where people go in here and they'll start cutting this. You do that you're finished. You never want to cut the length and the length will pretty much fall out last section right here in the front, I'm going to kind of slightly over direct back a little bit again we're cutting the corner. There'S the guide from the top here's the corner right here, which we have to cut and now we're going to extend that down in through the bottom here and there we go just that little piece right there and then we're good. So now what I'm going to do is do the same thing on the other side, but I just want to check the shape. I think it's looking amazing. It'S got really good balance to it and now, for this side same thing, you want to have the client kind of face you and we're going to kind of mirror what we did. This is all about body positioning. You want to keep yourselves at a competition. You don't want to if you were, if I were to cut this. The other way I'd be putting my elbow like in a weird position. So simply all I'm doing is just making sure that my body is in a good, balanced and a comfortable position, and then we're going to extend this down here. There'S just that little bit right there for cutting and then next section so continue to do that and then, when we come back, we're going to give it another check to see how everything is looking and I'm going to do that by combing. It all forward again and just making sure that everything is balanced, so finish this side up and then I'll meet. You guys want to ready to go back into the very, very front, all right, so we're coming along nicely here, and I just want to give you guys a sneak peak of the shape here straight on. I think it looks phenomenal and as it's starting to dry, it's just got this gorgeous gorgeous kind of shape. The wave is so beautiful, and I just I always do this on haircuts. Is I'm just going to spray it down one last time - and this is probably the last time you're going to spray this down because with curly hair or you don't want to mess around with too much you want to kind of let it do its own thing And let it dry kind of naturally after you put some product in it, but I'm just going to spray this right in the front, and I always do this just to make sure everything is balanced. I comb everything straight down or straight forward this way just to go back in and if I need to make the sides here, the corners a little more solid. I can do that, but everything is really. This is just to check everything all right. So I like to go back in right in through here, because sometimes when you layer it it does kind of you know: layering removes weight so a lot of times. It will thin the ends a little, but then I like to go back in and kind of reshape and rebalance everything. So this is where now I can go back and kind of reconnect the angle, the face frame that we did before to make it more solid and have everything exactly where I want it, which is fine. So, as you can see, we really still maintain the integrity right here by all we did, which is kind of clean up the ends and cut any of those longer pieces that we didn't do in the face rain. So I'm going to bring this straight down here. There is where we connected on this side again. This is just kind of shortening it and balancing it, and you want to make sure that she's completely turned the clients completely turns where you have a good angle, and that you can see everything. Here'S where we need to cut that little bit right there and we're going to work our way back up again. This is thickening the end and thickening our base right through here, which is really really going to be the key to this whole haircut and just a little bit right here and we're pretty much good to go so now give it a nice scrunch put your scissors Away and you can then have a good look at it turn this way here great. So, let's comb this back now, it's a little bit to get it out of her face and I did whip her in the eye about ten times Hey, but she helped me a couple of shots in the stomach. It'S fine, Robin hey, hey back! Alright! So I always like to go back in here like this just check with my fingers. My hands make sure everything is balanced. It looks great now. Robins hair is very deceiving when we saw it before it looks so thick and because she has a pretty hair is have curly hair. So when it's wet it's going to feel a little bit now that we layer it it's going to feel like you know, we took out some weight but because her hair does have that when it dries that thickness, it's really going to appear even thicker when it's Dry and it's going to have a gorgeous gorgeous shape so now, because she does wear it over to the side a little bit as she mentioned. Let'S kind of see how that looks just when it's wet and then you want to give it a nice little scrunch and oh man, it looks phenomenal it's bringing out her gorgeous eyes, yep and look see that it's beautiful. So what we're gon na do for the styling is. I want to spray some of my title wave, which is my sea salt spray and then also plush, which is my volumizing and smoothing serum to give it as it dries to help give it a little more smoother kind of texture and also the tidal wave to Increase volume and give it a light hold. So I'm using this because and the good thing about plush is, you can use it first straight hair or you can use it for curly hair anything, but it's a volumizing and smoothing serum. So it's going to help smooth the hair, meaning de-frizz it, but also it's going to keep the volume in your hair. It'S not going to weigh it down as much for at all, which is what I love that I've used this on super fine straight flat hair and after I'm done - and I blow-dry it - it's amazing how the volume is kept in there. So that's! This is an amazing product, so you can use this on curly hair just to make sure that as it dries, if there's really no frizz to it whatsoever, yeah, it smells good. Thank you. That'S my cologne you're smelling by the way, not the product now so now, I'm going to use tidal wave, which is one of my favorite products of all time, which is a volumizing sea salt spray. You smell it. It smells like the ocean right, just not the Jersey Shore, though yeah only people from Jersey can get that Hey. So I'm spraying this on and the good thing about this compared to other sea salt sprays is that this isn't grimy it isn't to sea salty. You know there's a lot of sprays that are just way over the top that are too kind of heavy and too grimy where this isn't. But as this dries, it's going to just give a nice hold and really really nice texture to it and give it that beachy kind of look so that what I like to do at this point is kind of rake it and set it up to word as It dries it's going to kind of dry into that style, so I'm just going to scrunch it a little bit and then I don't want to mess with this at all. I want to just let it dry and then once it's dried, then she can kind of go back in and see how the finished look is and then wear it. However, she wants to Robin with people with curly hair. They have their own thing with curly hair. Their own kind of technique and method, so I just respray it down the product is in here, so I'm just going to kind of film her how she's going to go in and how she does her normal routine for curly Harris. This is also good for people with curly hair too, because you could probably pick up something new, so Robin take it away, don't like mess around with it too much, because it tends to frizz very easily. Now she looks like a Victoria's Secret model Wow. Now I'm going to give her the mirror for the grand revealing Robin. Are you ready for the grand revealing? Oh you've been seeing it on camera here? But, okay, just don't smash me with the mirror in my on my face just turn a little more this way. So everyone can see there we go. Is it it's an amazing or what my pleasure well guys?
