Short Layers Haircut & Hairstyles For Women | Textured Short Haircut | Cutting Tips & Techniques

With a very strong c curved section, all the way to behind the ear, then another c curve section and then another c curve section, basically we're working parallel to the hairline, which is a c curved section through here, okay and then with the front, we've isolated, the Fringe with another, you just look down for us with another slight c-curve smiley section through in there, because we want to work the fringe shorter and i want it to suit the facial. This part of the whole haircut is probably the most important part of the whole haircut. Yes, we want everything to be balanced. Yes, we want to approach it technically, but what frames the face is the fringe. It'S like having a beautiful image. If you have a beautiful picture and a very ugly frame, it's not going to complement the face shape it's not going to cultivate that image. So the frame for the face is this part through and here so, especially with the fringe, we're going to take our time and make sure we cut it at a length that suits danielle by the way before i start, which i'm about to start. If there are any questions, please please please give us and ask as many questions as you like: let's keep this fun. Let'S keep this interactive and let's keep this educational before i commence. I also want to say be sure and say two things number one be sure to go on joyco.com and enter the sweepstakes. Joyco are giving our hairdressers a thousand dollars each week until the end of the year. Just to support you during this season so be sure to do that, and also when you go to joyco.com go to pro education. We have hundreds of videos of education, whether it be cutting styling coloring, all for you and all for free 24, 7 education on demand. So be sure to invest in yourself and expose yourself to this incredible education. Should we start you guys, ready to start give me a thumbs up if you're ready to start, even though i can't see them, i'm not even gon na give me some thumbs up. Okay, so we we were, i was thinking about when i wanted to start with the haircut one of the things i love about shorter hair is, i love? I'M gon na go a lot shorter, but i quite like a little feminine soft. You know growing out pieces around the ear and also around the hairline, so i'm going to start from the front working back, because that's the direction that i want the head to sit. If i work from the front going forward, that's the way the hair is going to sit. So if you want to ask yourself: where do you want to start all depends where you want the hair to see if you want it to sit going backwards, start from the front, if you wanted to see it going forwards, start from the back. So if you want to come around the other side, denise are there any questions so far? Okay, so just come to have a look at this okay. So i'm going to take a slight diagonal back section here like that, be careful of the mask and then we're going to elevate everything up and out square to the head. All right and work point cutting point cutting to reduce weight and to reduce length. At the same time now because i'm square to the head - i still have length through in here so when i, when i drop that and i comb that flat look at that. I'Ve got optional length through in here, and i've got optional length through in here. What does optional length mean? It means i'm giving myself an option to either cut it or to leave it depending on what i want later, rather than going too short, too quick, i'm leaving a little bit of length to be able to give myself an option. So continuing taking diagonal back sections make sure i grab all the hair. I use the previous as a guideline and i lift it straight up and straight out, i'm not over directing okay make sure you use the fine end of the comb. In this case. All right, i can see my guideline and then i'm going to carry on working point. Cutting okay point. Cutting just gives me a little bit more texture. You can do deep port cutting. You can do shallow, i'm doing shallow point cutting and that will just give me the texture that i like and cutting it at the length that i desire as well. So i'm going to continue working every section i take you, take a little step, so you're always in front of your work. Okay - and it's called body position so body position. Finger position is all key to executing a balanced haircut. Okay, going to continue working diagonal back section, so you can see they're quite steep, all the way through classic cutting and working a beautiful graduation and eliminating at least an inch and a half off. So we're going to square up the hair. One thing we felt with the consultation with daniella's hair was: it was her hair, swells, okay, because she's got wavy, hair she's got a lot of hair. She'S got thick hair, it kind of swells, so we want to narrow that down all over but also create a shape. That'S going to be easy to maintain something that looks cool. You know that nail's a model so she's working in front of the camera she's doing a lot of shows, so she still wants a haircut, that's still cool to be able to style, but also something that's easy to maintain. So, as we get down to the nape, we just follow the same guide and by keeping that square, have a look. What it's doing! It'S giving me a little bit of length to be able to play with later. I can always take that a little bit shorter, but i don't want to square cut here. I, like a cut that looks like it's, been lived in and grown out and that's why we're working with the angles and that's why we're working with the distribution and the elevation that we have so far any questions so far, please ask us some questions. I want to keep this interactive even though you're there and i'm here we're still connected and that's what it's about, even though we're socially distancing we're still connected. So please ask as many questions as you like, so i got. Where are your scissors combs and clips from my scissors are mitsutani one of the best scissors that i've ever worked with: they're, japanese metal but they're also japanese handmade? Okay. These are mootoo tiny scissors. My comb i got online. I don't remember where i think it was amazon and these clips also got online. These are cool matte black clips. I just like trying to be kind of color coordinated with everything today i knew that question was going to be asked good question. Thank you for the question. Okay, so working constantly working, diagonal back sections, one thing you don't want to do is you do not want to take your sections too big? Okay, once you start taking sections too big you're not going to have a precise haircut and you probably won't see the guideline as clear as you're, seeing it now, so sections should really be no thicker than half an inch, which is probably uh the width of half Your comb so once you've got clean small sections, you create more of a precise haircut and even though it takes a little bit more time doing smaller sections, it will save you time in the long run, because you won't be needing to fix it up because it's Perfectly executed in terms of balance and and guideline okay, so working with the same guide, picking everything up straight from the head: okay, making sure you can see your guideline and just executing that shape. So it's tapered a little bit more around the nape area and if you can't see just take your section all the way down, okay, i use the fine end of my comb. When i do, i move it away and i use my hand have a look. So now it's a lot cleaner. It'S a lot easier to pick up the hair. I can just pick up the hair like that and make sure that every little hair is following the same guideline: okay, and that's really what's going to give us a nice graduation through this bacteria same way, okay, so we're going to continue working actually better. You can see the guide a lot cleaner because that's the back. This is the front you can see exactly where my guide is, you can see. I'M checking for the guide as well and pulling everything out. Shorter shapes are fantastic, there's, so many techniques that we can apply on shorter haircuts, but it's all about understanding, uh density, understanding, texture understanding, head shape and grasping many techniques having a lot of techniques in your tool belt. If you do the same thing over and over again you're going to get bored and sewing your clients, so it's nice to take different sections and approach hair differently. And that, for me, is always a challenge because for me i used to teach every single day in london when i was based in the academy over there and every single day. I would be teaching every day on stage whether i was feeling good or not, feeling good, whether it was a monday or whether it was a friday. So what it did it forced me to challenge myself to expand my approach with hair when it comes to technique. Don'T just do the same thing over and over again, because you're going to get bored and some of your clients, a lot of clients that have come to me that are new 10, is because geographically they've, moved 90 is because my old hairdresser wouldn't try anything different. I never want to be one of those hairdressers that does the same thing over and over again, let's challenge ourselves to stay motivated to stay excited, to stay inspired and to stay creative. So as much as you've been inspired, you also want to be creative and challenge yourself and expand your horizon and vision of approaching hair with different techniques, because if you want different results, you've got to apply different techniques. Does that make sense? Okay, so last section through the back diagonal working over to the corner, making sure we can see the guide and then we're gon na continue repeating the same thing on the other side. So we're working this last section so we're crossing it over until we get to the other side making sure our guideline is there working with the same guideline and picking the hair up so we're not neglecting any of the hair around the base. So let me just cover this first and have a look from here. So come look at the profile so now we've got some shape in there. You can see when i move that around it's following the shape of the head, but it's taking a lot of the bulk that was from the nape area, but we've still got some length to play with a little bit later. Okay same with the sides, all right. We'Ve still got a lot of length around the perimeter, but we've just worked graduation all the way around. Let'S continue with the other side, okay, we're up so just going to work the hair down on this side and because we got no guideline here, what i'll do? If you could just hold that first, thanks daniel what i do, i take one section like that: okay and i cut the same - try to cut the same length as the other side. So what i'll do i'll just work point cutting i'll do two sections here. I'Ll do one more and i'll follow the same guideline now, once i've cut this, i might want to come on this side. Once i've cut this two sections, i comb that flat all right and what i do is i check for balance so i'll grab this side from here and make sure that what we've done is actually on point and it feels good. I think it's just a little bit longer on the right side, like just a touch. Let'S see the bottom as well, make sure you get this balance right. So it's longer here, so why is it important? Because if you don't get this balance right - and you continue with your haircut what's going to happen - is your whole side is going to be off, so what you want to do? Is you want to make sure that the haircut is balanced by checking for balance on both sides? It was a little bit uh shorter on the left side, so i'm just going in a little bit more making sure that's balanced once this is balanced. I can continue cutting the whole side and be confident that there's going to be balance on the whole haircut, there's nothing worse than cutting the whole side and find out that's not balanced. So let me just check one more time through the bottom. Mostly that feels good, and that feels good and look away just feel feel what's longer. Sometimes, when you look at something too long, you lose focus so just feel. What'S longer that feels good. I can continue now and work diagonal sections and be confident that it's going to be the same as the other side. Any questions are we good with questions? Where do you alfred says? Where do you get your inspirations from? What do i do? My inspiration can come from anywhere, you know um architecture, i love architecture. I see a lot of architecture, i see a lot of those shapes and some of that can inspire me from creating a technique. I think nature itself in terms of texture. I'Ve always constantly switched on and trying to source some inspiration, but mostly i've been inspired by the people that sit in my chair looking at their hair. Looking at their face shape, that's kind of for me. I think what inspires me and all the time. I honestly don't know what i'm going to do in terms of technique until my model or client sits in my chair all the time when i do education and i'm doing shows in front of thousands of people. Sometimes i don't even know what technique i'm gon na. Do until i'm on stage i just i feel it in the moment but, most importantly, i get inspired by clients or models. Okay, so come around this side to me, so they can see from here. So i'm going to continue working my diagonal back sections and working that all the way down to the back. So keeping that same length same guide, you can see i'm cutting a good inch and a half off. So it's going to be much shorter than what it was to give us the shape that we have, but also to execute a lot of the bulk that she feels a little bit too long and too heavy. That was one of the things that we we discussed in the consultation was she just feels her hair is way too long and way too heavy. So she was like really encouraging me to go. You know a lot shorter, but still had enough hair to be able to play with, and i think that's important, especially when you want to create something. That'S versatile. You want to be able to have a haircut with enough length to be able to move and and wear in maybe different ways: okay, so we're traveling around section by section and following the shape of the head, not just with the sea curvature, but also with the Way that we're cutting as well so make sure we're not missing any little bit so continue now working diagonal sections. So this is the point i want to chat a little bit about so you notice when i came taking diagonal sections, i went and made sure i went through to the other side. Why so that now i can pick up a bit of a guideline from the bottom here from the other side. So, let's see if it all matches so as i pull all the hair out. Okay, that's my guideline. If you can see that that's my guideline from here, so let's work with that make sure that the elevation is the same and as we come down, we should be meeting the other guide, which we have have a look at this okay. So when i lift that up, you've got the guide from above, and you got the guide from before, and i just connect the two and that's what keeps you on track all the way down as we get to the bottom. It matches okay, pretty cool, so continuing working, another section look again same thing here: it should match. Both sides should match i'll. Just get rid of that hair there working that flat out and point cutting that through all the way until we get to the other side and that's what gives us a nice balance and i'm just you know, point cutting into the shape, continue working diagonal sections until Everything is reached and then we can check for balance, make sure we're totally happy and then continue with the haircut there's a lot of hair still on top that we're yet to cut. But i want just to show you the graduation underneath because that's what gives you the balance and now we're going to cross check, look at that. It'S actually really perfect. You see that's going to point cut a little bit because i'm super super fussy. Let'S check from the bottom as well: perfect, perfect, perfect, okay, so what i want to do now is: i want to just comb everything flat and just check visually for balance around the perimeter as well. So, behind the ear i want to check, we still need to cut that and i will cut that a little bit later. I want to finish the shape and then cut the perimeter, so all of this length through the perimeter we're yet going to detail, just leave it for now, just we're just going to leave it for now. Now she has a lot of hair. I can do two things here. Actually now she's got so much hair that i want to dry. I want to dry this underneath area and just have a look at the shape. I might reduce a little bit of the weight. I might see exactly how it's sitting and then reduce a little bit of work. So what we're going to add is one of my favorite products is the dream? Blowout thermal protection protection cream? This is a nice blow drying agent and i need to use a little bit because we're only putting it in the underneath area. Okay - and this will help just to smoothen out the hair and basically when hair is clean and dry, it's fluffy and i don't want it to look so fluffy. So i'm putting this product in it takes a little bit of the fluff away, but it doesn't make it greasy either. So it's got a nice blow drying agent to put into the hair, to give us a little shine and to help keep the memory of the blow dry a lot longer. Okay. So at this point i'm going to just begin to dry the hair using a brush. Not overly forcing it but we're going to make sure that the hair is dry and a little bit smoother, so we can check the shape. Okay, i'm gon na blush dry that, because what happens when you blow when you begin to dry the hair, it begins to swell, and you can start to see how the hair is relaxing okay, so we're going to just dry this off, and this is why it's Important to take very clean sections, very even sections, because the sectioning pattern is really what's going to set you up, uh for a balanced haircut and a good workout. Just don't don't underestimate the importance of creating a beautiful sectioning pattern. It'S like a designer creating a pattern for a dress or a suit, the more disciplined it is, the better the suit's going to be same with the neckline, the more disciplined you are with the execution of the technique, the better the haircut's going to be, and the More balanced, it's going to be as well. Okay, we're just gon na get a rush and just go over a little bit. I don't want to force it. It'S gon na have a look at what we want to do a little bit smoother. Any questions so far. Make sure you ask me the questions if they have any so guys. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me all right. So once this is dry, i don't get a trim at how beautiful that is. Oh, that's the mask. That'S all right! That'S! Okay, all right, so what i want to do now is come over. Let'S have a look at the back. It'S going to comb that flat nice nice light. Again, it's not perfectly blow dried. I just smoothed it out a little bit, so what i want to do is i want to just reduce weight from this top section here, so i'm just going to go in and just point cup just to take a little bit of that excess weight. So it doesn't bulk up as much so when she's drying it at home. It'S going to be easier. You can see how deep my scissors are and how deep my comb is, allowing my scissors to go in quite deep. It'S actually touching the scalp, so i can go in there a lot deeper, okay same in front of the ear. It'S mostly this top graduation area, just point cutting that through all the way and that reduces that excess weight for us. Okay. Okay, just it's just wait! It'S just wait: every little bit of weight you take out just makes it easier for danielle to be able to maintain at home, and that's what i think makes a great haircut. It'S how good and how easy it is to maintain at home. That really, i think, makes or breaks a great haircut. So if you want to know if you've done, a good haircut is my question is how how easy is it to maintain at home? If it's easy, it's a great haircut. I think this is why it's important to recommend products as well, because products help us as professionals create the look so how much more the non-professionals gon na need products to maintain their hair at home. So you know we never sell products, we recommend products and we share and educate with our clients what we're using, why we're using it and how we're using it. Those three questions: we should always be answering what why how why? What what are we using? Why are we using it? How do you use it? That'S so important. Sometimes we just recommend products and we forget to teach clients on how to use the product, how much to use etc so make sure we educate our clients on what it is that you've done in the salon. That makes it look so good and then recommend the same for your client, not just the product, but also the technique of how you actually style the hair. They love love, love to hear some tips and tricks. You know so be sure to share that with them. Uh as you come to style, the hair okay, so just looking at everything now, i'm gon na reduce a little bit of weight from below here as well, and just where the occipital bone is so, even though i've got a strong structure which is important. That is the foundation of the haircut. I'M now chipping into it just to reduce that weight and length. Okay, you can use different techniques. I guess it's personal. What techniques you use, but i want to say this. You know a lot of you see what i'm doing and some of you might think. Oh wow, that's great! Some of you might think. I'M not sure about that. That'S fine, there's different ways of cutting there's different ways of approaching hair. What'S really important is the consultation, because how do you guys know what i've consulted with my model? How do you know what my model - or my client has asked me to do so if some of you might think, oh richard you're, taking too much weight away? No, no, because guess what we've had a thorough consultation and that's what she's wanting me to do so: it's not about right or wrong. It'S about understanding, different ways of cutting and applying what you like and dismiss what you don't like and that's what it's always been about. Maybe for me, when i'm watching different hairdressers, some older some younger, i will always learn something from them. I'Ll take what i like and not take what i don't like and that's what that's what i sharpened. I is all about. We sharpen each other as an industry, and we learn from each other as an industry, not everything that everyone does. But if you can learn a few techniques, apply it and improve your work. Great! That'S what education should be all about: improving your work and understanding, different ways of cutting and different ways of coloring and styling. The more you learn, the better you become and the more you increase, the value of who you are as a hairdresser. Okay, so just making sure that i'm happy with that. I'M going to i'm going to slide that here. Just if you come around this side here so with here, you can do some channel cutting here just to break that up, because we want that to be more natural through the perimeter. I can do that more later, but i just want to do a little bit now. While i can okay look at this, when i comb all this, all that hair just comes out and it just softens it for me in the middle as well come on the other side. Have a look at my head. I switch my hands. I go around now. This way, so i'm going with the hair and around and here i'll just take some of that off and then maybe just take some aggressive pieces out. So it looks more natural now see the hair on the neck. Here i never use a razor. I always use the scissors flat on the skin and i cut that off, and this gives it gives us a much more natural finish. So keep the scissors flat and eliminate the hair by working flat on the skin. That way, it's not going to be all spiky and stubby like a like a beard. It'S not attractive. I think, for women to have that so just by using the scissors makes it so much more natural. So when i comb that now, maybe a little bit more, there stretch the skin make sure there's no freckles and just eliminate that if you want to practice this, some of you might be scared to do that. That'S fine, a good way to practice is this. Look at me use your hand, put the scissors flat and cut as long as the skin is stretched and the scissors are flat. You'Re not going to cut yourself. It'S a good way to practice, and also another tip for you as well, is to just make sure there's no little moles on the on the name, because you don't want to be a plastic surgeon. You just want to eliminate the hair, not the freckles or the moles, that people might have okay, just working that all the way, so it's nice and natural so much more natural than just using eraser or clippers. I just i don't really use clippers and again that's not a right or wrong thing guys. It'S a personal thing. What you do! What i do is different great, let's embrace the difference, but i'll give you what i do and why i do it and then you as a hairdresser incorporate the techniques that you feel that are best for you and your clients. So it's not about dictation. In terms of education, it's more about you know, sharing different techniques and you're, applying what you like and don't apply what you don't like and that's what exchanging ideas and education should really always be about. It should never be dictorial about what's right or what's wrong and i'm trying to do. You know a different texture different length every time i'm up here, so you can see a real variety of work rather than just one length all the time. So you know this. This week we're doing something a little a lot shorter. It'S going to look cute, something that's going to be versatile and very salon friendly. The next time we're going to do is going to be more textured here, so we're showing as much variety as possible. Last two weeks ago, when i was here last, i did kill me again. So it's all about you know exchanging ideas, sorry and working with different lengths and showing you different techniques as well. Okay. So let's continue now with the rest of the shape. Okay, especially behind the ease i took a little bit of weight away because if they ever tuck it behind the ears, it's not going to be bulky later. We can continue with that. Oh my god a little bit shorter here, but i want to wait till. I finish the shape okay, so the top part of the haircut you can see is just twisted. I'M going to just begin to work the back first, i want to connect the back uh first and then i'm going to work with the sides. So, let's subdivide this section into two all right, i'm just going to put that in a twisted section here, just keep your work as clean as possible. Clean sections are happy sections and it keeps you on track with what it is that you're doing. Okay, so i can comb all this flat. You can see how long and bulky that is in comparison to the underneath. So before i carry on, let's put a little more water in there, okay and then carry on now with the the connection of the haircut. So what i want to do, if you want to come on this side for me, okay, i'm going to take a section in the center, and i want to begin to connect this area. So when you pick up the hair from underneath, you could see that. Let me just comb that out all right. Can you see my guide there, i'm going to continue working out not so it's still in the same decreased length, so the angle is coming slightly up, so you're building shape you're building a shape in here all right. So it's not going to be like a flat head. It'S going to follow the shape of your head, because the shape of the head is round so by increasing from short to long gives me a nice shape, that's going to follow the shape of the head, and it's all about shape, guys. It'S not just about technique, and it's not just about cutting hair, it's about building a shape, creating shape even with shorter hair. So when you have that in mind, it kind of impacts and influences a lot of the angles of your fingers. So i'm going to be point cutting through all the way around, and you know what some of you might would like to maybe do a hands-on class we're going to be doing zoom hands-on classes a lot in 2021. So make sure you reach out to me - and we can you know, schedule you guys in for some zoom classes that i believe makes the biggest difference. It'S one thing to watch haircut: it's another thing to do a hands-on and actually apply it, and you grow a lot from that. So, just following through because you're working with finger position, body position, uh elevation distribution, there's a lot of things that you kind of learn when you actually do it when you have a little hands-on education class. Okay, connecting this section here and that side now is all connected beautifully. Okay, can you see and when you shake that, where you see that it's connecting all nicely, so let me just do the other side come around here, so working diagonal sections going this way. My finger position now has changed over here. My finger was up as i'm going now. I stand on this side of my finger position now is facing downwards and i'm standing all the way on this side, so i'm just going to continue working there and that helps me to have the right body. Posture body position finger position to continue with the graduation. Okay and it's more comfortable as well, sometimes when you're learning a new technique or new finger position. Of course, you're going to feel uncomfortable. Uncomfortable is not a bad thing. It'S actually a good thing, especially when it's uncomfortable to learn something good and new. If you're always comfortable doing the same thing over and over again, i'm afraid to say, you're not actually growing, it's only in the uncomfort zone. When you learn something new when you apply a new technique and you start feeling a bit uncomfortable, that's when you're growing. So don't be afraid to be challenged from a technical point of view and again apply what you like and don't apply what you don't like, but as long as you're learning and you're growing. That'S what it's about! That'S what it's about! I think that's what keeps us motivated as hairdressers is growth constantly learning constantly growing, and that's why we provide education each week to support hairdressers to grow and learn and become better at what we do increasing the value of who we are, as hairdressers is what it's About and how you do, that by learning more techniques and becoming better investing in your craft, investing in your techniques in your art, education is vital, so never lose that sense of passion never lose that sense of hunger to learn and to grow. Even for me, i'm constantly learning constantly growing, constantly challenging myself to be better in different areas of hairdressing, okay, so just making sure that was balanced again technically with my fingers, that's much better! That'S much better check the top layers! That'S great, and now we cross check. Okay, it's perfectly round so it's gon na take a little bit off there. Okay, cool! I'M loving this! I'M loving this all right! So this top section here we're going to work with a center parting, so we're going to work backwards center part here to subdivide the two. So we've got a section on this side and a section on this side: she's got a lot of hair on top. This is the problem that she felt was way too heavy and way too long and not manageable. She wants something to be easy to manage, so i'm just going to turn this flat put a little bit of moisture in again all right. So if you want to come out this side come around this way, so what we're going to do we're going to take the head still, please! That'S! Okay, we're going to take slight diagonal sections and carry on working with the same guideline as the back. So, if you want around this side, actually you'll see it much better. So working this with the same guide. Okay, you see that there again we're building shape. We don't want to go too square, otherwise you might see her face shape so make sure we've got those little hairs at the top. Okay, next section: look at all that hair! That'S about two inches! That'S a lot of hair, especially through the sides. So, by working this and connecting it through classically, it's going to connect that through and really help us to sit to allow that top laser seat nicely. Okay, next section everything is elevated straight up straight out any questions. Let'S keep here. If you can't okay, you can't see it. You can't see it for whatever reason guys, we can't see any comments, but we're still alive, which is great, so i'm afraid we can't see questions anymore. Okay. Why don't you press that? Let me see no okay. So look at me for whatever reason guys, we can't see anyone writing anything, so i believe we're still live, so i'm going to continue cutting and i'm sorry. I can't hear any questions. That means i'm just going to continue with the haircut. So, for whatever reason, there's been a glitch with the facebook connection, but as long as we're live, that's the main thing. So thank you. Okay, just connecting that through, you can see. Look it's connecting from the front to the back. Can you see that two guides are connecting that's when you know you're on you're on point? Okay, again, don't judge the haircut now you can just see the way. That'S gon na sit when that's dry you'll see how and once we cut the top layers. What we're doing is we're building shape here, we're not making it too square. We'Re building shape you'll see why, when it's dry come around the other side, if you want to go all the way around to this side, okay, so doing the same thing, diagonal sections my fingers are facing down right, i'm connecting from the underneath to the top that We have here, okay, keeping my fingers parallel and you can see how i'm building the shape. Okay working it on a decreased angle. Sorry, you, okay, okay, so continue! Let me show you in front of my work and cutting the hair, be confident with your guideline. You know i could be cutting 10 inches off. Doesn'T matter be confident with your guideline as long as you're, confident with your guideline, you should have no issues at all. Obviously, first you want to learn the technique, but you know some people kind of get scared when they're cutting someone's hair from very long to shore. Don'T be scared just be confident with your guideline so that you can follow through and make sure that the haircut is going to turn out the way you intend for it to turn out how, by following the guideline and creating a very strong technique, that's going to Give you the shape, like i said in the beginning, danielle my model doesn't really care about what technique i use. All she cares about is the end result. Okay, so before i carry on anymore, i want to just comb this. I want to check for balance on both sides - cool, that's, a great bounce. Okay, i'm going to take our profile lean back for me, i'm going to take a profile section and begin to layer, this top area all the way around. So from the crown we use that as a guide, you can see there, i'm gon na point cut now for the top, because i want more texture, okay and working on now. I'M going to that that guideline on one side, just work, sections that are slightly rounded now i can go. I can go deeper with my point cutting because i want to reduce weight and length at the same time and when the hair is wet, it sticks together. So it allows you to be more aggressive with the weight reduction and i've isolated the fringe, so we can disconnect it and do exactly what's best for the face last section on this side, you can see that point cut through. Oh now, i move my guideline to the other side. Come around this way, lift everything up there. It is, then i can go in a little bit deeper by holding my fingers and aggressively point color back, it's so fun to cut hair. I think cutting education is so fun because that's what we mostly do in the summer, we either cut or color, and so it's good to be exposed to different ways of cutting so that you can incorporate different techniques that you like and then be able to share That with your clients as well, okay, deeper cutting and then last section here - lift that right back have a look at that point cut through now. We want to cross check the top make sure both sides are even which they are and for the back here is all going to do. The same thing make sure i'm happy with both sides and point up to balance out the texture, all right, nice, nice, nice. Last section last section the flanger freaky or the the bang, the fringe. Let'S have a look. Okay, first thing. What i do want to do is i just want to i. So this is why we disconnected it. So i can use a different angle. I'M going to work it around to the head. Okay, let's have a look at that visually. All right, i'm going to continue everything straight up straight up and follow the same guideline. I'M not over directing just working vertical sections at 90., whatever reaches great, but if it doesn't reach, i don't touch so lifting it up tight, see if another thing anything else which is, but we can travel just to be safe, no cool. Let'S do this side. Let'S see the guidelines make sure you point that through and this side just a little bit there. Okay, let's have a look at something now. Let me clean my face point cut that through i want a shorter fringe. She'S got such a cute face and i think a shorter fringe is going to suit her okay. Let'S do the other side, it's visual, it's all about being visual with the fringe, of course, we're being technical in terms of the approach, but it's about making sure that what we're working is really working on the health visually. So, even though you're being technical, you're constantly looking at her face the way the hay is sitting making sure that what you're creating is just super cute screen. We can't hear what people are saying right now: cool, okay, i'm going to start to dry this off before i do that it's going to give you a towel. If you want just to work your face and i'm going to get you, i can look at me for a second, so i'm going to put a little bit more of the dream: blower. Okay, this is going to help me to get a little bit more texture into the hair, so we're just going to put one two and a half okay, we're going to work that through all the way around already, you can see how cute that fringe looks and She'S still got a lot of hair left to play with, and i'm going to also put a little bit of the where's, the top. Thank you. How long are we not there? We go. I'Ve got 12 minutes a little bit of the work a little bit of the joy bit as well, just to get a little bit of texture, not too much just a little bit to get a bit of texture in her hair. She'S got a lot of hair. So i don't need it to feel too thick all right, cool super cute that fringe. I think what do you think all right, so now we're going to begin to dry the hair between these last prime and moisture out. First, you can use a razor as well. I was contemplating with, i should use a razor or not. You could totally use your razor for this exact same technique: okay, i'm just glass trying everything flat forward and then i'm gon na work in terms texture by reducing weight shorter a few weeks ago, completely different in terms of technique and the kind of hair that we're Working with uh also going a lot shorter with a freeze here i want to get a lot of that moisture, stretched out. First get that hair stretched out to the moisture out, and then you can go in and blow dry a little bit better. Okay, now internally, rather than just on the surface good thing here, is just the top that we're kind of focusing on. Oh, this is you've as well, so i'll do as much as i can with the time that we have, but then the rest of it. I might have to do um, okay, so once we've done that so make sure it's dry. Just here just work around the mask where you can and then later i can finish it off and take pictures, so everybody can see the end result. Okay, so i'm just going to comb everything flat. I think the best way to judge a haircut is to comb it flat. Okay, best way later we're going to put texture in it. Of course we are, but for now i just want to judge the haircut by combing everything, nice and flat. That'S the best way to judge the weight. That'S the best way to judge the shape. So don't bother going like that. I don't say: oh it's too heavy! No, no comb it flat. Then you can see what's needed to be done. Okay, so i'm going to detail the fringe around the front. First, look up! I'M going to grab you this, so we can get rid of that! You can hold that okay, so combing that flat, so so important using the white end of the comb. Okay. Now we just want to make sure that we have the detail. I want to first get the length and then i can chip away at it. So it's not so solid, but before i do that, i just want to make sure i'm happy with the length on both sides. Okay, look at me cool now, if you find it's a little bit heavy going in, take some pieces out, okay and that just breaks it up a little bit for you. Okay, this is personalizing, it's personal. What you do what i do might be different! That'S fine! That'S what makes us different as heather is embrace the difference all right and then we're gon na just do a little bit of a channel aggressively. I want almost to look like you've been cutting itself, so you don't want to get too perfect with it all. Okay, you just get the hair, hold your mask for a second hold it okay. So let's have a look at the fringe. So it's a bit more like it's cured. It'S softer! It'S cuter! Once you put a little bit of products in there, you can also address it a little bit more and you can go a little bit more aggressive if you want okay, and that just gives you a little bit more of a softer feel here hold your mask. One more time for me: isn't that so cute, the fringe, so i've just i've reduced bulk as well off now come around the sides. So what i want to do here, i actually want to use my thinning shears just to show you a different way of using cleaning shoes. Now you're gon na open and close and just point cut all through the edge here, okay and that should blend in beautifully. So you can continue with this i'm going to maximize the time. Okay, so i'm going to continue guys working the point padding with the thinning shoes all the way around. You can see how that's done and then we're going to begin to personalize it through the bottom and finish it off, but guys. Thank you. I hope you guys have enjoyed today's education. I wanted to show you something: that's a little bit shorter, something that's a little bit cuter, something that could be all in different ways, so the technique that we've done with the c-curve textures and the graduations allow us to build this shape. I'M going to continue reducing a lot of weight through the size of the back and work through the perimeter. I hope you've enjoyed today have a fantastic tuesday have a fantastic week and never lose that sense of expectancy. That good things are gon na happen to you. God bless guys. Peace see you guys in the near future. Ciao
