How To Cut Wolf Hair | Long Layered Haircut Tutorial For Women | Wolf Cut Tips & Techniques

The partings that i took was kind of a horseshoe parting around the roof of the hair right all the way around like outside. You know right where it's flat to the round part all the way around in a horseshoe all the way. Back to the other side, i then took went right along that that top of the main floor and then down all the way back to the inside corner of the hairline in the back a little mohawking section back here and then the same thing. On the opposite side, super easy haircut i'll get right into it. We'Ll talk a little bit more about it, as i go um totally, don't know where i'm at covered brain okay. So i'm going to start with a kind of a radial parting, so kind of a like a diagonal back parting. That'S going to go right to the the hairline of the hair, not the hairline, with the indentation or of the mastoid process. I'M gon na go here. I'M just gon na kind of chop out a little like like diagonal back parting, almost a radial piece, if you would like so and that's gon na be my first party and i want it to be super lightweight and what i'm looking for is i'm looking for Texture with a flat scissor, as opposed to going through and point cutting, i want it to be more 100 texture, as opposed to um. You know soft touch. I want it to be a lot more hard and, like you know, committal texture, i'm going to give myself a little clue where i want the shortest piece in the front. To start, that's my shortest piece right there, where i want to begin. That'S going to be my clue, so i'm just going to give that a little bit of a cut. Then i'm going to elevate i'll turn this way, so you guys can see. Can they see? Are there people watching yep? Oh awesome how many people uh 90 right now, 90.. Awesome, hello, everybody thank you for joining me. I always get nervous that nobody's ever going to come, so i'm just going to elevate straight up now. Tell me: is it you and me forever? Oh, oh! Is it just a hit and run and from there, because i'm wanting that to be as lightweight as possible, i'm going to put that little piece that i cut. Originally i'm going to that elbow just a little bit and it's going to go from short to long. Okay, so just short too long, i'll drop it like it's hot, because when the pig's trying to get at you, so you can see that's going to give me like a nice little like face framing type thing going on. So the next thing i'm going to do is i'm going to maintain that radial parting. I'M going to do it here now: okay, so i'm there i'm going to take a radial parting, i'll pull it out, so you can see so really! No, that's where the point is. It gets really wide back here, i'm going to disconnect that whole section. So i'm going to disconnect that whole section. The next section i'm going to take is right here, and it's going to come all the way back to that mohawk section in the back. I will take it straight up again, just like i did before i'm going to take a little piece from what i previously cut. That'S going to be my clue. I'Ll turn this slightly. Just in case, you can't see and cut so there's my guide, i'm going to try and get the same angle that i was cutting at just like that: boom short to long [, Applause, ] next parting or actually the same parting. The next section of that parting. All the way out to the end, just like that, are there any questions yet no questions, yet, if you guys are enjoying this so far, give me a thumbs up, so you can see. I now have two disconnections. I have a disconnection underneath. I have a disconnection here and i have a long piece right here. That'S kind of what i'm looking for. That'S going to give me my texture that sits on top of all that weightlessness down there. Now i'm going to do the exact same thing on the opposite side, just like that. So if you didn't see the beginning, all i'm doing is i'm taking a little parting. I don't know where my little flippy picture is okay. I just braided it just to keep it out of the way, so you guys can see like the nice clean sections as well. So i'm going to take diagonal back parting, [ Applause ] to the mastoid process, and that's my first parting. I did exactly the same thing on the opposite side. What i like about the this variation of that wolf cut or the shag is, is i don't know i was watching it just the other day. Just you know like watching it on youtube and yeah. I watch youtube. You know just like everybody else does to see if i can get inspired by anything and to be honest, it just like bores, the hell out of me and one thing that i've been seeing a ton with that whole like wolf cut thingy. Is you have these little girls that are putting little like ponytails on the top of their head and cutting it here? Oh, it looks so green. No, it doesn't look great sweetheart. It looks like crap [ Applause ], so i figured i'd put my little spin on it essentially, so here we are again, i'm gon na take a little clue and cut it right where i want the shortest piece in the front to be okay, i'm going a Little bit longer than shin because she has kind of a like a pear-shaped face, not a pair, i'm sorry like a diamond shape or a heart. So it's white here, white hair goes skinny here and she has a very weak chin. So i wanted to draw her chin out just a little bit um someone asked what haircut are you doing didn't join in the beginning? Okay, sure it's a variation of the wolf cut. You know - and i hate to i hate - to call things by their names, but i feel like clients are coming in saying: can i have a wolf cut, or can i have a shag or can i have a mullet? This is my variation of the wolf cut that makes it look a little bit like they don't have to style it as much to get it to look good where, like when you watch youtube or you watch. You know people are giving us instruction. I kind of feel, like you really have to muscle with it to get it into place, i'm kind of doing a variation of it, so you don't have to muscle with it it just kind of lives in place all the time again thumbs up. If you guys are liking it so far, are we getting any thumbs up? Okay, so straight up i'll stand on this side, so you guys can see it straight up for lights. Okay, if i wanted it here, it'd be super heavy. I want it lightweight lived. It go right there it's going to give me my clue, the same angle that i did before on the other side same angle and cut [ Applause, ], perfect, okay, so the next section i'm going to take is going to be a disconnection. So again i have my diagonal back parting. I'M going to do another radial parting from that little corner right there, a little diagonal back as well [ Applause ] to about the mid of the mohawk in the back [ Applause ]. I'M gon na clip this out of the way just so i don't get confused because i tend to get confused quickly. [ Applause ] clip and then this is the section. So what i did was i cut it short underneath skipped, a section. That'S going to be my disconnection and then this is going to cut short on top, so what it's going to do is when we texturize hair, we texturize hair like this all day. Okay, what that does is it does this when she shakes her hair, it can get like solid again. I don't want it to get solid for her. I want her to always have texture so instead of point cutting i'm going to do this right, so i have short piece here essentially or a short piece here, long piece short piece. So when she shakes it, it's always going to be texturized. It'S what i call like a middle texture. I will go back and blend it in a minute, so it's not going to give like any weird like you know, lines or any of that kind of stuff. I just want to get the shape in first. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I do have jenna, my assistant is watching the phone. So if you have any questions you're more than welcome to ask she will interrupt me. Remember there's no such thing as dumb questions. Just dumb people just kidding. There'S my little clue so what i did was. I took the little clue from in front. I elevated the hair. The her straight up now tell me that you and me forever. I'M dropping my elbow to get the same angle that i was cutting before you know. It'S funny i've kind of missed, doing hairbrained lives. I haven't done one since december of last year or yeah. Last year and the day i did one december of last year i had coven. I didn't realize that i had just taken a covent test and then, like maybe hours later, i was like well, you got covered so i had to. I had to sit out. You know for two weeks after that um, so it's actually really nice to be back. Doing this and not sniffling, and you know whatnot, i was very lucky when i had it that nothing horrible happened to me. Okay, i think that's looking pretty nice without even any styling. You can see that it has a nice little like pieces hanging over it cool. I'M now going to take the back, i'm going to do it. This way. Wait, let's see, put the weight right down here. Yeah, i'm going to do this one! No i'm going to do it this way. Okay, i'm going to drop the back, i'm going to section out the sides just so i know where i'm at. Are there any questions? Not right? Now? No good! Do you have people watching yeah we've been bouncing back from 100 to like 85.. Okay, hey! If you guys are liking it, why don't you tell your friends to come and watch me too? Okay, so i'm going to start at the back, i'm going to start at right. My buddy steven adams calls it kind of like a safety zone right. So it's not at the top of you know the vinyl: it's not the blow, it's just kind of like right at the the safety zone of that parietal ridge. It'S right! You know it drops down just a little bit. If i cut it too short, it's going to get hollow, but if i leave it too long, it's going to get a line back there a weight line, i'm going to take the center part in, and this is going to go quite short, i'm going to follow The hairline about the hair like the head shape, so i'm just taking the center parting and i'm going to follow the head shape. So the head shape goes like this okay. So i'm going to round it like this once it gets to the nape. I'M then going to stop and i'm going to walk it out, walk it out, walk it out. East side, walk it out, right side, walk it out or you know what i'm talking about right. So i'm gon na go ground it and then i'm gon na walk. It out it sounds weird when i say walk it out, and i kind of do that whole dance thing and that's why i do it so i'm right there there's the round part of the head, i'm going to take a smaller section, so i can round that Head shape right about there and cut i'm establishing this purely off of artistic integrity. Okay, so some people are like well, how do you find the guide? How do you know that? I'M really just putting that in there based off of where i want that shortest piece to be. Are there any shout outs? Are there any people that like are getting on there, like hey from um, no okay, so none of my friends were on here um. I think i saw one of them earlier. I have to scroll up to find it cole thompson. Oh hey cole. I recognized his name. Okay, so now i'm gon na walk it out right. So i rounded that little bit i'm going to walk it out. I'M going to walk it out to the length someone from fort lauderdale: oh hi, how's it going and then steve j says: hi. Okay, then someone from sandusky ohio, oh nice, so i walked it out. Does that make sense? I went rounded and then right once i got to the round, i then started pulling the hair up. I didn't want to lose all the weight at the bottom. I wanted it to be a little meaty down there still, okay. Now, what i'm going to do is i'm going to take and make that a stationary guide, because i wanted to get meatier and kind of fall on top of that piece that i left a little bit longer i'll turn her slightly. So you can see here in one second chop: chop, bang, bang official says yo yo, my brother, hello. How are you vertical parties vertical partings and i'm going to go ahead and turn it? So you can see what i'm doing i'm going to back her up. Just a tiny bit, i'm going to back that thing up just a little bit, i'm here i'm going to come into a stationary guide and cut rounding where the occipital is i'm using just a standard. You know six and a half inch scissor and then i'm going to walk it out. East walk it out kim says she loves shags nice. Thank you kim. I'M going to take another section, the last little section here in the center. You can see it's straight out here. It'S gon na it's pulling into the stationary guide there now. Would i do it this short on every single client? No, if she had super skinny, skinny skinny hair, i might not come down the sides. I might just do this through the top, but i want it to be nice and heavy, almost like a like a hipster mullet of the 90s alexandra from poland says hello, hello, alexandra god i'd love to go to poland and then there's also someone from albania. I'Ve seen iran i've seen india, so you can see that makes a really cool little bat back there. Now because my hand was doing this and i was cutting that side of the head. Typically, we would want to come on this side to cut this side. I don't feel comfortable doing that if, where whatever direction i start my hand on is the direction row is the direction i want to finish my hand off, so i'm going to start on this side. Okay, i'm gon na keep my hand on this side because i want to keep the same angle to make sure that i maintain consistency so instead of pulling, i now have to push into what i previously cut so taking a vertical parting, taking out what i previously Cut a little smaller part, another little smaller part, then i'm just going to push it real good into what i previously cut. There'S my guide right there i pushed it. My last combing has to be on what is about to be cut, not what has already been there's my guide and cut taking my next parting, i'm going to start walking it out. There'S my guide. Push it real good into what i previously cut. There'S my guide and cut kim says awesome on explaining body positioning. Thank you. Thank you kim. I appreciate you right here straight out and cut by the way i am on the road, i'm on the road, a ton now um. If anybody would love a cutting class in their salon or in their town, please hit me up. You can hit me up personally on my social media, which is ryan underscore teal um. I would love to come out to your town if you're in the states, i'd love to come to your town if you're not in the space. So just you know hit me up and maybe we can help work, something out. I'D love to come and visit you. I am so happy. I'Ve been on the road for the last three weeks, i'm going to mexico uh on saturday um, but i've been on the road left a couple of three weeks and it has been so nice seeing hairdressers across the country. It'S been so nice. Just just bonding with people's, you know: post 2020. - i don't know if you guys know that, but 2020 was a horrible year um. It was really bad. You know, if you didn't experience it, you know you're lucky, i'm totally kidding everybody experience. It white super come to move the hair fine tooth to come to smooth the hair. Um sheerjoy asks. How would you personalize this cut for your clientele, um again very good question cheer joy um? What i would do is if she had super skinny hair. I would may not come down like this, or i may come down more like this, instead maintaining more weight here. Okay, um! If she had super fat hair, i might actually come in a little tighter and then go down um if she had super super super fat. Hair, i might actually disconnect that basement and do what i call a pleat where i take it straight up and then cut it and then the very end you'll see how i'll texturize at the very end and personalize even more. If that answers your questions, if not i mean, if that answers your question, thank you. If not go ahead and re-ask it again or you know um or give me a thumbs up if it did work and if not then i'll try to see. If i can answer it a little bit better for you so again pushing it real good into what i previously cut, i am at a stationary guide. There'S my hair falling out, i'm going to cut not hating it in the least i'm going to drop this just to make sure that i'm loving it all the way around, which i really really am sheer joy says. Thank you. Thank you. Oh perfect. Thank you. Thank you for the good questions here. Do i appreciate you so i'm loving it so far. I hope you guys are as well. This might become my new favorite haircut this one. Actually, i'm the most happy with it. I'Ve done so far. Okay. So, let's work on the top a little bit, the top is cut the same way. It'S cut the same way, i'm going to round right through that parietal, but then, as i get to the top i'm going to have it come drop back down towards the front to slenderize to the front, i wanted to have super fun bags, i'm kind of done. I don't know if you are, but i personally am kind of done with um curtain bags. I mean they're, really cool, not everybody can wear them. Just like not everybody can wear a center part. Not everybody can wear curtain bags. If you have a short round face. Please, god don't wear curtain bags if you have a long skinny face, please god don't wear a center part wear something based off of what looks good on the face. Not what your generation is telling you you need to wear, because if you wear center apart, you look like a gen xer, because gen xers were the best generation anyways we invented the internet. Prove me wrong. I'M kidding, there's gon na be a lot of hate mail. I'M sure okay, so i'm just taking the next parting, giving it a little twirl. So i know where i'm at um a heart for hair asks. Can people with fine hair wear curtain bangs with what with fine hair? Can they wear curtain? Bangs? Yes, um! Well, you know again, it depends kirk bangs to me um, that's mainly for the face. So if you have a round face - and you put a round curtain bang that does this it's going to make your face. Do this and you'll look like gollum right, um, fine, hair! Yes, you just want to take a little bit further back right, so you can have a little bit more weight there. Um fat, hair, same thing. You just want to go a little bit like less head, but again it's the face, shape, that's more important, as opposed to like, if you have a square face by all means where, where um those curtain bangs, i think they work fantastic. I hope that answers your question again if you're loving this class so far, give me a thumbs up. I would appreciate it just so. I know you're there. Okay, i'm gon na start rounding that parietal ridge and then around it and round it. So i'm at the top of the head. Now again, i haven't taken any length from the mannequin head. Yet at all, what's nice about this haircut, is you really don't have to take the lens? So if a client comes in, she wants a major change. This can give you a major change. You know as long as you you um i mean you, don't even have to cut the length i mean it can still give you just a major change erica b asks: will you leave the weight in the top sections? As you add the rest of the top? In or will you texturize a little, i will texturize a little very good question eric, thank you, but i am going to collapse it through the front. So i'm collapsing it. I want it to be a slender silhouette through the top so still slenderizing it and by the way, i'm looking at my roots right now to give me my elevation and over direction. So if i'm looking, if i look at my roots to start, i can tell if i'm doing this or if i'm doing this or this or this. So i'm looking at my roots and i look at my roots and then once i look at my roots are good my roots. I then look at my ends, make sure that that looks good and then cut straight up looking at my rooks and cut. So what i've done is, if it was here, walked it out. East side, walk it out, left side, walk it out all that kind of stuff right. I then came up to the top, and then i went back down like this. Okay, through the sides really short at the hairline straight up, cut it or here cut it. That gave me softness. I disconnected a piece, did the same thing here and then that little piece that i disconnected gave me the length for the center back. I pulled everything into the center now i can't remember who it was that asked what about skinny hair? What about fat hair? How would you personalize it for for your individual clientele? This is a good spot to start personalizing it. I like i'm, going to do a stationary guide up here, i'm going to pull everything to a stationary guide, so it blends nicely here. If she has finer hair instead of taking a stationary guide, i might over direct it and take it a little bit further. This way giving me heavier over there. If she has super fat hair, i might not take a stationary guide. I might take a traveling guide. Releasing some of the weight here, okay, so okay, so again walk it. I'M going to take my next parting somebody's taking a picture of me such a habit. Every time somebody takes a picture of me, i got a pose. There'S my guide pulling into the guide and cut over directing into the guide. My elbow is following what i'm cutting. I look at my roots. First then, i look at my ends. If any of you take a screenshot of me and tag me, and i look good in it um, i will be very appreciative. I will thank you profusely and i'll share you on my social media as well thanking you profusely. My social media ryan underscore teal t-e-a-l, like the color over directing i'm in at the end of the the roof. There'S my guide right there over directing into that guide, one more comb just for control and cut. Are there some people watching yeah we're still at 90.? We'Ve been bouncing back from 100., okay there's my guide here and cut delilah asks. Why is it called a wolf cut? I don't know in any way i was making a ton of classes. I thought i took some classes in seattle this last weekend and people were asking me about the wolf cut and i was like what's a wolf cup and then i saw a picture, i'm like okay, that's a wolf cut and it's a tick-tock haircut. I don't know where it came from, but it is a tick-tock haircut. My question is: what's tick-tock, i'm kidding um, i live in rock um. I was just making things up. I literally when they asked me. You know somebody else asked me: why is it called a tick tock? I was like, oh because it looks like a wolf. You know. I was saying that you know there's a there's. A department store back in the 60s called woolwolf's. You know i was just making things up the whole time. I have no clue um. I think it might just be a uh tick. Tock thing, sorry for not being able to answer your question on that one. If somebody else has the answer to it, that would be awesome if somebody wants to chime in. I wish i was with you guys, though i wish that we were all together in a group like being able to teach classes like like. I wish i could teach you a class right now and be in person, because i love being in person as opposed to online stuff, but it's so nice that we can do online stuff and it's so nice that harebrained allows us to do this. I think that that's super awesome and i love that they're, taking a stand for the hairdressing community and giving education even post coven still maintaining the the online education as much as they do. They do such a good job um, but you know i know that we're all getting back into salons and teaching again and that excites me, the most um sheer joy has a really good question: yeah um, it says how do you feel about modern entertainment's influence on Hairdressing tiktok is an example. Um, that's a really good question, so marketing marketing is great at just ruining everything and tick. Tock is no different. Instagram was no different. Newspapers were no different. You know that's all marketing um, you know records all that is all marketing, and you know i i think it's i kind of like it, because it makes it really quick, like somebody in paducah. Kentucky can be in the know as quick as somebody on the coasts. As quick as somebody you know, uh in other countries, we are all on the same wavelength. If you will so i don't hate it. I do kind of wish that before people made videos haircutting videos via tip talk via instagram via youtube via any of those kind of things, i kind of wish that people were um knew what they were talking about, meaning um, you know don't show how to cut Your own hair at home, using you know like ridiculous techniques and then screwing up on it and saying it, looks good, and then you just style it away to make it look good. I think that i think that's ridiculous and i think it hurts hairdressing, but if somebody knows what they're doing you know, there's a lot of great educators out there and great hairdressers out there that can get on tick tock and can share their inspirations and ideas. I'M all for that, especially if they can go back to our clientele or if we can inspire another hairdresser. I think that's awesome, so i guess that was a super diplomatic way of answering things um, but i've i've. You know, i just think i think that tick tock's good as long as it's not hurting anybody. I hope that answered your question or whatnot, so just pushing real good into what i previously cut. There'S my section. This is my last little section that i'm going to do then i'm going to blow dryer up a little bit. I think the blow dryer is super important. You can cut this dry if you want, but i wanted to cut it wet or moist um. So i can get the shape in first and then go back in and get my uh texture in um. Someone is asking what shear you're using. I am using a hh6 from hattori hanzos um and it's it's my workhorse scissors. So it's a six and a half inch uh workhorse scissor. I think there's a lot of great scissors out there um. I love the company that i'm working with um, but i know there's a lot of great ones out there and what i look at really is the length between here to there it's a six and a half inch scissors. That'S a good workhorse, so pushing that last little bit into what i previously cut cut it and then cut it. Okay, let's go ahead and get into the blow dryer a little bit. Are you guys liking it? If so, give me a thumbs up if you're not liking, it give me a thumbs up and just lie to me. I don't want to know the truth. Now would be a good time if you guys have any extra questions. You get extra questions regarding the hairdressing industry um. What not i'm going to try and keep the blow dryer down low um, so you can still hear me, but if you have any questions whatsoever, please ask um also, like i said hit me up on my social media ryan, underscore teal um. If you want me to come out to your town, uh - and you know maybe in your salon or whatnot, i would really appreciate it. Um, i'm wanting to set up like a coast to coast tour where i go. You know from coast to coast in a bus. Eventually and stopping individual towns kind of like you know when, when i was, you know in punk rock bands back in the 80s, you know, like you, just show up to the town crash on somebody's floor. That'S kind of what i want to do. Um robert campbell says thank you for standing firm on hair foundation. True artists believe creativity comes with foundation. I love that and i want to jump on top of that as well robert. I believe that advanced hair cutting is just the basics started differently, and i stole that directly from dj muldoon um that it's just the basics. Everything is just the basics. I just did the basics, that's all i did is. I did you know essentially flat layers that went into you know a little bit of increased layers down at the bottom. I mean you can call them whatever you want, but it really is what we've been taught from the very beginning and and um. When i take education for myself, i only get um basic education because i feel like i can always do better with my basics, god this is so stevie hicks. I just kind of lazy blow drying it, which i kind of think looks the best almost as a mentor used to say to me. If at first you do succeed, try not to look so surprised. I'M trying not to look so surprised right now. So a couple of show dates that i'm going to be not showing but uh just a couple of dates: i'm going to be traveling around uh the end of this month, i'll be in oklahoma city. If anybody is in oklahoma city, give me a shout out: um i'll come see you even just to say hi uh and then i go into uh des moines i'll, be in des moines iowa, i'm looking to go to rochester new york and the buffalo upstate new York, i have plans to go down to baton, rouge and new orleans, hopefully in september, and i also have plans to go to florida as well. So you know that's just what i already have planned but, like i said, if you guys have any anywhere, i should go or if i should come to your town from your city. You know, let me know, i'd love to come and see you. Someone asked if you'd come to india. I would i would come to india in the heartbeat. I would go to india innohrp that one might cost a little bit, though. Okay, i think, she's pretty good and dry already. She was already kind of dry. She was more on the moist side when i cut her originally and then i'm going to go and just personalize it a little bit and then we'll pack it up pack it in and then i'll cut our fringe as well. But i do want to go ahead and finish up the shape and then and then i'll cut our frame blast. The way i'm going to start uh the rest of the haircut. The way i want to blend it now, like i said, i'm loving. What'S going on a little heavy right in here i'll take care of that here in a second um, i'm going to start in the center back, and you know i'll start on that side, so you guys can see it uh. Someone says: come to morocco love it! I would love to again anything out of the states would probably be a little more money than you know for me, but i was given a rock on a heartbeat. I'Ve never been okay. Here we go. I think someone said it looks like tina turner a little bit yeah. I hope that's, i hope that's a good thing. I love tina turner. She just got inducted into the hall of fame she's, the first person to be inducted into the hall of fame, not only with a group but also solo. At the same time, so i think that's rap. I love tina, though i've been a huge tina fan. My whole life okay, so i'm just going to take whoa, i'm knocking all my lights down. So what i'm going to do? I moved over here. I know that you're kind of looking over my shoulder um shear joy asks: do you start adding texture while blowing blow drying or with product after blow drying um, i'm gon na start adding so post as opposed dry. I did add a little bit of dry texture spray into it, um and then i'm gon na add a little bit of texture now and i'm gon na add a lot more texture when i'm completely done so now. All i'm going to do is i'm going to blend it, so i'm going to take the shortest piece in here. You know i'm going to move to this side, so you can see better. Is that better uh yeah? If you lower your right arm a little bit perfect, so you can see it comes out like this. I just want to clean up that little bit and what i'm going to do is i'm using a dry texture and a dry slide, cutting scissor and just with the tips i'm going to go ahead and elevate and just with the tips of the blade i'm going To go ahead and open and close like pac-man until it all blends out and take the next parting about center mass. If you figure right at the middle of you know like say the uh, the center of the back, the what i call the main floor, i'm going to again right about there and start at maximum graduation and then, as i work again, i'm gon na elevate and Just barely tip off those ends just a little bit and that's gon na blend. The back to my disconnection front come to the top of the main floor now still in the back, so this kind of party going diagonal forward straight up at graduation or maximum graduation. There'S my little bit of a guide and then just like pac-man as i move like pac-man, i'm just gon na chew it until i get all the way out that blends out very nicely, um delilah asks. How do you do a 15 minute haircut? For me, it takes 45 to an hour with style. How do you do a 15 minute haircut? We asked the question um. How do you explain those 15 minute haircut? For me, it takes 45 to an hour with style um. Well, i this one was slightly damp. Uh, so it was actually already on the dry end the thing about it is it's not the time that counts it's how much time you spent learning how to cut it. So really with me like, like i go anywhere from an hour to a 15 minute haircut and actually the person that's standing behind the camera is my assistant, and she knows she can actually vouch for me. I will either do like, depending on what i'm doing. I'Ve done 15-minute appointments, and you know my clients are okay with it, because it's still a beautiful looking haircut um so just be confident of your haircut really um and and they will be confident in you and yeah. This is, this is a 15-minute haircut, but i think that you know it still looks nice and you know it shouldn't be like i said it should never be about the timing. It should be. You know about the amount of work you did. I hope that answered your question. I mean picasso once picasso, you know once was commissioned to do a haircut, i'm not okay. Picasso was once commissioned to do a haircut. He screwed it up, i'm kidding um to do a painting and it only took him like three minutes to do it and the person - and he was like you know there, you go it's gon na, be you know, fifteen hundred dollars or fifteen thousand dollars and the Guy was like you only spent 15 minutes doing it, and i was like no. I spent my whole lifetime doing it. You know it doesn't mean how long it takes me to do something it's how long it has taken me to get to this point. To be able to do that, something, i hope that answered your question. Okay, so here we are again on this side, just the same technique here, i'm stepping out of the way, so you can see what i'm doing there's that center and then like pac-man, i'm going to elevate just removing that little bit. I am opening and closing as i work, but i don't close it all the way. I am using a dry what i call a dry straight, bladed, texturizing shear. It'S meant to push hair away from the front. I can't kind of blunt line with it. Some people call them um slide cutters. I don't like calling it a slide cutter because that kind of pigeon holes what it does for you, okay, so taking it square like i have been the whole time. There'S my guide right here there i'm opening that scissor and then i'm just like pac-man all the way out any other questions, not right now cool again thumbs up if you guys are liking. This also do me a favor if you do like this uh, this haircut in this class. You know me teaching it especially um. If you will do me a favor and and drop um hair brain. You know just a little note telling them that you like me and then also tell them that you like, like what they're doing like i've said, i think, they're doing a great job. You know helping educate, helping hairdressers, you know, maintain education and get education online um, and i know that when we open up fully, i know that they'll get back into what they were doing. Um, you know with with you know, maintaining uh uh education in person as well, um, okay! So now i'm at the side of the head and what i'm gon na do is i'm gon na take right where that shortest piece, i'm gon na, go right into that main floor, just kind of section that out of the way i'm running the main floor section Inside as well and you'll be able to see that disconnection really well, there's that disconnection, here's that that oh there's your short piece: here's the desk connection out at maximum graduation there's the shortest piece, and i'm just going to chew it. I don't want to cut it all off, but i don't want it to blend weird yay. Here we go through the top or i'm up above the parietal ridge. Now i'm going to find that little piece which is right there and chew it off. I don't want to cut all of this disconnection away. I just want to blend it, i'm going to stop there and move to the other side there. We go we'll be able to see like this. I think parietal again, i wish you guys were here, so you guys could get in here and ask me questions and we could tell stupid little stories about stupid things. Um. I do want to ask a question to you guys who are watching um, how many of you are anxious to start seeing in-person education again, meaning you know like like? Are you? Are you have you had in-person education already? Are you looking to do it in-person education? Again soon you know like what what is your, what is your thoughts on in-person education, and you know i've heard some people say that it'll never come back. I heard some people say that it's gon na come that it's already back. What are your thoughts on in-person education, um, totally wild says they with the poop emoji tattoo i with the poop. It'S actually the funny thing about the poop emoji is um. When i was getting it. A friend of mine, dj muldoon, has the same crown on it and i asked him to send me a picture and he's like why i'm like don't worry about it, and i had the crown put on the poop um and then i sent him a picture and I was like hey dj: look, we have matching tattoos mine's on a pizza and you are a pizza. I hope he's on here watching uh delilah said she's excited because she's not a fan of online education. You know delilah i've. I'Ve been in lots of arguments online, um about online education and how you know online education is here to stay, and i'm not going to disagree with it being here to say: i'm not going to disagree with that people think i do, and i don't what i'm Disagreeing about is that will not and cannot be the number one way of getting education for a hairdresser. The reason i'm saying that is because i am super duper dyslexic and i have horrible abd. I could barely read. I could barely write, i mean if i wasn't. If i wasn't cutting hair i'd, be stealing your car, stereo and um online education for me doesn't work because i have to be in person. I don't even have to touch the hair. I just have to be in person because there has to be something about the vibe and - and i like i said i i can't do it so i think it'll be around. I think the hybrid will be around forever. I don't think it's going to be the only method of education and some people are preaching that and i don't i i will fight that until the day i die. Okay, i want to get rid of some of the weight in here. That'S my disconnection right there. I'M gon na get rid of some of the weight. I'M gon na use a texturizing shear and i'm just going to delete some of that weight. Darlene says all of her cosmetology school was online because of kovitz. Oh i'm! So sorry, i'm so sorry that breaks my heart. I'Ve heard that story so much jenna, you actually yeah. I had a good six months of just online yeah katie. Had it like it's, it's uh, it's top man and you know postcoded. You know how, like you know, our clients were super happy to see us and they they were so glad to come back in and then three months later, they're, like i'm just going to stand, you up, you know we're going to book an appointment. Just stand you up not all of our clients, but a lot of clients did that to us - and you know god break my heart. You know so just point cutting softening that i'm elevating it to get a soft texture through there. The last thing i'll do is i'll go through and make my hard texture here in a second. What time we have um we're at 152., fantastic just about the end. It'S almost an coming to an end. The time i hope you're enjoying it please reach out to me on social. I would love to come to your town, city or country. If that happens, to be morocco or india, i would love to come. You don't have to ask me twice: um erica b, says love both online and in person education, but prefer in person during the pandemic. Lockdowns online education was outstanding for me, so appreciative of all the stylists who've taken the time me too me too, but you know what was also nice about during the quarantine is not only the education but also just like being able to get together on zoom and Hang out, you know not even not even the education, just like oh you mean there's people out there, just like me that haven't put their you know, haven't put pants on in six months and haven't already in six weeks and haven't taken a shower or shave. You know there's there's something about that too. Is that, like we're such pack animals that it's you know we we have to have, we have to be in the same room so yeah, just going through a point cutting softening softening softening when you pick up the hair to texturize, that's going to create a soft Texture when you allow it to stay where it's going to live in what what is called the natural fall, it's going to give you a hard texture. So what do i mean by that right now, it's essentially when, if i was to cut just do this, we would all know that it was called layers right and layers soften or remove weight. If we want to make like create weight, we want to do line. So when texturizing, if you want it to be pc, you cut it here. If you want it to be soft, you cut it here. I look at it like snow icicles right so the same rules that apply with with cutting length and layers and all that are the same rules that apply when cutting uh texture as well. That'S all i'm trying to say - and i didn't realize that to be completely honest until maybe you know three years ago, right in here looking for darker pieces of blonde to recolor it to a lighter piece of blonde. What i mean by that is, if you see, there's dark and here's light, i go to the dark and i remove some of the dark to make it look more white or light. Darlene asks what brand shears do you recommend um? I recommend the one that fits the best for you um. I recommend right now or i work right now for a touring, hanzo scissors um, i've always loved them. I know that there are, you know, other fantastic lines out there, but the way i look at hanzo to me is um. It'S a it's a good scissor, it's a great scissor. It cuts hair. It does everything i need it to do. The other day about three weeks ago, i just purchased my first brand new motorcycle and i purchased a harley and there's two reasons. I purchased a harley one because i wanted the culture that came with the harley two, because nobody puts a tattoo of honda on their arm. That has nothing to do with scissors there, but you know the culture and so and again, i'm not trying to do any sort of sales or any of that kind of stuff, but but um the the scissor company i work for does the best at delivering um Education, you know across the country they they have really come in. You know and helped me back out when getting back on the road, and i love that um and, like literally, they have been doing education almost since quarantine has led up um. So, that's why i like that company, the scissors are fantastic, but it's the culture behind the scissor that i like the most and we have some great hair cutters. We have myself um, we have oscar bond, we have wayne tuggle, we have cole thompson, we have. You know the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on, and we can all come to your town. So i like that, the most. So i hope that that answers your question, but there's a ton of great scissor companies out there that do deliver good education as well, but also deliver really good scissors as well so um. The scissors i was, and i'm using right now is hanzo and i'm proud to say that okay, so the last little bit of texturizing, i do want to kind of create a little bit more of a pc type texture going on. I'M going to use a dry slide cutter again and instead of picking the hair up, i want to create icicles. So i'm actually going to slide this. The blade in come out the other side and then just like pac-man, i'm going to slide all the way down and what that's going to do is create like icicles or like like fingers or whatnot okay, and that creates like, like a really cool piecy texture back In the 90s, when i first started doing hair, my clients would come in and they're like. How do i get piecing this? How do i get you know like? I want to wear piece. You know i picked the hair up and point cut it and it wasn't giving me pieciness. It was giving me softness, pieciness comes from leaving it in its natural fall. So back this way and i'm looking where whatever direction my points are going is the direction the scissors going or the icicles are going to flow, and i love watching that it's so satisfying. Okay, now, let's go ahead and cut her her fringe and then we'll pack. It up pack it in i like to call it either fringe or or eyebrow curtains. Now, if i left it this way, i mean theoretically, i could just cut it short and it will give her that little right, but that's not what i want. I kind of want you know more chewed up and i want it shorter because give me a thumbs up if you want it shorter or give me a a smiley face. If you want eyebrow curtains i'll, give you a second smiley face. If you want eyebrow curtains thumbs up, if you want like a shorter kind of chewed off kind of effect, which are you seeing more of um, give it a couple more seconds because it lags a little bit. She kind of looks like eric's, older sister from that 70s show lori. Yes, okay, it looks like i'm seeing almost unanimously thumbs up: okay, okay, i'm going to use a texturizing shear i don't have to. I can also use a dried straight bladed, texturizing shear. I can use either of these two shears scissors meant to push out it's a texturizing shear, a texturizing shear they're, both texturizing shears, okay, i'm choosing to use this one, because i want it to look like i chewed it off. I don't want it to look all nice and pretty. I want it to look like she got her hair cut in a fan. Okay, but i want like lots of like sharp edges down there, so we cut right at lines, i'm not going to pick it up. A whole lot, i'm just going to chew it off with my scissor, coming on top of the hair, is going to force that hair to go down opening and closing. It forces me to open and close my scissors more often, but i'm okay with that. As long as it gives me that fun little texture that i'm working with right now, okay, my scissors, my cutting blade - was facing that direction. I'M now going to flip them over and face this direction. I could have gone this direction or that direction i just chose to go this direction. Why? Because i'm wanting to kind of counterbalance each other, just kind of be messy. If that makes sense, if i want to always push them away, i would have done this. Okay, wait other side there we go so again. Um follow me on social media. If you'd like to come out to your town, your salon, what not i do have the means of doing that now. Um just hit me up on my social media. I'D love to come, see you i'd love to come to any town you're in and and spend the day with you spend a couple of hours with you. Maybe go get dinner, you know you can go to a movie, i'm just kidding. I don't know where i went off on that one. No, but i do want to come. I do want to come to your town hit me up and we can see what we can do if you're close by i'll ride. My new motorcycle out to you. I want to start a. I want to start a hairdresser's, only motorcycle club, like h, h what hairdresser's h, d m c, okay, so now she's going to go right in right, where it's living chew that off just a little bit more again, i want it to look like she got her. Her bangs caught in a fan also, i will give i'm going to go back and finish it the rest of the way, and i will post that on my social media as well i'll post on my social media as well um. So if you want to see the completely final result, um, that's where it'll be so to recap, really quick what i've done this whole time. I kind of dig it if you dig it give me a thumbs up um, but what i did was okay, so the partings were right along that parietal ridge into a mohawk section in the back into a mohawk section in the back right. So right here. It'S just a big wide mohawk section really is probably the easiest way to describe it on both sides. I then came around like this and separated the top from the bottom started short piece here. I took a diagonal back portion right behind the ear lifted. It straight up found out where i wanted that short shredded piece to go and went like that when i dropped it, it was super soft. I then took another radial portion from here to here. That was a disconnection, so i dropped that right over the top of it. I then went back section. The rest of that section did the exact same way using the front as the guide. I then took the hair that was here. That was in the back of that piece came and did a stationary guide to the back following that head shape and then walked it out at the bottom. Okay - and i did that as a stationary guide through here - walked all the way up and then did the stationary guy through here where i came around and then came down okay, i then blow dried it. I started in the center of the head and i pac-man out to the edge pac-man out to the edge on this side. All the way up and i pulled it up and went waka waka waka walk, walk on the way out, so it kind of does this? Okay and then do the same thing here where i went this, so you have two big like longer pieces here. I then um went to the top and just point cut through here. So there's no there's a good blend through there. I then took my dry side cutters and just pieced it out, so i have some pc little pieces at the very end. Finally, i went through here. I uh took a texturizing shear and straight down, but cut it this direction and then cut it.
