Invisible wear velvet cream. This is a very lightweight product. I'M gon na use it as a cutting lotion. With a reason I like to use a cutting motion is it helps? Keep my sections cleaner. My partings cleaner helps hold the hair out of the way a little bit when you have a little product in the hair, but then also I'm gon na get even saturation with that product. All the way, through the hair, as I work through the haircut so you're kind of taking care of two things at once. So the parting that I started with is a left hand. Side parting. Then I kind of curved that down right down center back so you'll see how it kind of curves away, and then I go from the occipital bone to behind the ear, as my first section now. The way that I'm gon na work, this curly haircut we're gon na do half of it wet half a bit dry. So I'm gon na go through and cut my baseline with no elevation tonight, I'm gon na do that wet reason. I'M gon na do that wet is because I want a nice hard line really want to build in some shape. I'M trying to take this hair as short as possible to keep it looking clean, but I also want this to be a little bit longer haircut as well. So that's kind of a choice you have to make with your clients as well as when you look at their hair, assess it, and sometimes you have to take it a little bit shorter than you want to to make sure that it stays nice and healthy, and Then, as long as they come in on in that routine, they can keep their hair growing long and strong. So work. My way through the hair cut that one length work my way through the front, cutting the one length and then I'm gon na go through, and I'm gon na use a diffusing technique to really pull out those curls. So we will go through. We cut the opposite side as well, and now I'm gon na go through and section it for my diffusion, so you'll see I section off the top that heavy side I'm gon na, go in with the Paul Mitchell. Pro Tools Express eye on turbo light, + blow-dryer and I'm gon na use that on a medium air flow and high heat, and that's typically what I do in the salon when I'm working with curly hair, I do have to send a huge shout out to Danielle Who works in my salon? She she gave this manikin a perm and it looks super natural. The hairs got a really nice wave to it so kudos to her. I believe she used a Paul Mitchel perm on this thing and I'm actually, I'm gon na ask her to do a class on how to get that wave, because this was a straight manikin and now she's got really naturally beautiful, curly hair. So I go in now. Here'S some keys to diffusing hair to make sure that you don't get a lot of frizz, so I will hold that diffuser the reason it has coming those fingers in it is, I hold the hair in it and I don't move until the hair is dry. At least 80 to 85 % dry, then I might run my hands in it a little bit, but I, the less you put your hands in the hair. The less frizz is gon na happen. So it's really crucial between that when the hair is wet and when it's 85 % dry to make sure that you're not putting your hands through it now. What I want to do is I want to build up that shape. You can see how it falls. Kind of fly it starts to expand out, gets that Christmas tree kind of look to it. So what I want to do is build in a nice kind of build up of weight. I want to accentuate the cheekbones in there. So that's what I'm gon na go for, so I'm gon na start. My layering you'll see I'm gon na. Do some concave layering throughout the haircut and what I'm doing is I'm gon na push everything towards the face, so I'm standing behind the head, pushing it towards the face and that's gon na give me that over direction and then start to build a little bit of Weight towards the back, so I'm not trying to do fully consistent layers. I want to have that shape where it kind of opens up the face and pushes that weight back off. So I will show you guys you can see that angle, so it is over directed forward, not extreme, but I want to until I get to that back hairline area which I'm showing you right now. I want to over direct all that hair forward. Then we're gon na do the back a little bit different. So now, I'm gon na go to the opposite side notice that I have clipped away the top section where the hair gets heaviest. So now I'm working with the light side. You'Ll know you're on the wrong side of your elbows hitting the head, so just make sure that you kind of keep that aware. You want that freedom in your elbow and now I'm gon na go through pulling everything towards the front of the head and cutting that short too long notice. How I kind of twist my hand up. So I really want those layers in there, but I want to curves concave effect in the layers, so I'll continue. Taking those sections again remember we're over directing everything forward towards the face so that last little bit I get to where the hairline starts, to connect in the back and now I'm gon na go through and work the back line, so I'm starting a new guide. So we did over direct everything forward from the ear forward. Now I'm gon na go through and cut rounded layers and follow the round of the head, so I'll, take a little bit of the old hair, bring it into the new and I'm just gon na continue in a clock shape all the way around. The back of the head, so I get to the other ear, so key things here, body position make sure that elbow is nice and free should be away from the head now top to the head and then you're cutting short too long. You should also know that you're cutting from the crown from that center out to the hairline right. So that's how you'll know that you're in the right position as well, but just keep that elevation up, continue to cut those concave layers and that's what you're connecting in to it. You don't have to really work on a guide, so what we cut at the very beginning, with the wet hair, we were cutting that outer perimeter line. That was just to get a nice healthy feel to it. That'S not our guide, though right so we're going in and I'm gon na cut layers and that's all dependent on what I want those layers to do. Do I want short layers. Do I want long layers, so you can see that build up already on the left side of the head, and now I'm gon na go through and cut that top section. We'Re gon na cut a rounded shape, so the weights gon na be pushing back off the face and we're also gon na cut kind of a fringe or a side bang into this curly hair, I'm using a point cutting technique. What that's gon na do for me is give me a little bit more texture and movement to it and I'll just continue working those diagonal forward sections over directing it over the part and cutting my line so I'll go with that until I run out of hair. So you'll see I scoop that hair up I'm also using a wide tooth comb, which is another key thing when you're cutting dry curly hair to use a nice wide tooth comb you're, not looking for a lot of tension when you cut curly hair. So it keeps the tension, nice and light, so look at that shape, starting to unfold, I'm gon na defuse it a little bit more. I just sprayed it with a little bit of water, hit it with a diffuser again reactivate that product and then I'm gon na go in with the plummet, invisible where cloud whip to really lightweight kind of wax product. But I just define the curls with that spin them in my finger and really build up that shape. So you can see the difference in the shape where it was a Christmas tree kind of shape, going from much more triangular shape to having a much more, even kind of balanced. Look to it. When you look at her straight on and not having that heavy, we at the bottom so finished off with a little bit of finishing spray and then we're gon na give it a spin.
