Perfect Long Layered Haircut Step By Step, Layers Technique

Hi guys and welcome to slate live number 11. My name is James Lakers and the cutting direct to the state higher education. We'Ve got little monica here's our model for today and my sister Sophie is testing out their skills. My camera, okay. This is a bit different to how we were the diet before. Obviously so I'm at my sister's house over in Cambridge is very different to where we normally do it in Soho, and what I wanted to do for you today was something that's going to focus on things which are going to be really relevant to what you were Doing the summer, so what I'm going to be looking at doing is is with Monica's hair. She actually didn't want to touch the lens. She wants to keep all the length from what I put in the back here, because I'm not using it is I've just planted that him out the way to make sure to be cautious. I love affecting that. So what I'm going to do it working on the front are going to start layering from the front vertically working shorter in the front longer in the back. So that's what we would call round a round shape push it on way towards the back now why this is quite a nice way to work is because I remember especially when I was learning when I first started cutting long hair in kind layers. I did it always did it the same way, every time which was starting at about working towards something the longest was the front so every time I was doing this triangular layer, starting here I were directed and that's just the way that I thought, ladies, is done, But actually I found a few problems came from that and what I mean is is, for example, on certain hair textures. I would find that these layers that really lining I'd run into the back talk to brown rush. It was straight hair to hide that, but also what I find is that didn't always do I wanted to do the bone structure so not focusing on the opposite way of valuing, basically working short from the front longer in the back. I actually tend to do this much more often now on my clients in the southern, so guys, please that's no way to treat an informant got tuning in how your clothing in this quarantine has some grab you, if you're in quarantine or not, gets a shower, and If you like in the video, please like and share the video as well okay, so what I'm doing here is not working this vertically first is because I want to create two guidelines and marina says sure on the front is going to be triangular, not round. Isn'T it so some people will talk about, you know what we talked about. We talked about technique and we talked about shape. So here are techniques we have line. We have layering and we have graduation and when we're talking about this, what we're talking about it! You come around here, so you can see we're talking about elevation up and down. So this would be a line anything from here to here that level of elevation would be graduation and anything above that point will be layering. Okay. Now, when we talking about shape, what we're looking at is enough horizontal plane on the side to side plane. So, for me, triangular would be anything shorter at the back getting longer at the front anything around to be something shorter in the front building morning towards the back, and that's the way that we we try to describe things is they do that's trying keep things as Simple as possible, and that's the way that we do so, let's your questions at marina yeah. She also says hello from Italy getting back to this point through here, what we're doing here by working this short in the front long in the back, walking it in opening this area on the class we're going to open the face spot knee opening through the neck. We'Re just going to be really beautiful. Now I've created my one guideline: okay, we can see from here shorten up front and longer in the back vertically, but I'm now going to is create two more guidelines were from either side in the front half of the head. Okay, so how much i elevate this in so I'm gon na come through now, I'm going to down the head run this way in the opposite way, making sure that I incorporate the whole hairline keeping my much really nice and clean. So anything I'm not working on I'll comb that out the way. So I can see every single section that I have God Sophie isn't a hairdresser is filming. So if you have any suggestions of where you want her to hold, please just let us what I okay. So from here, what I'm gon na do is as I clean this up. Can you see that I have my guideline in that Center through here? Okay now, my elevation is really important, because what I did was in my first section - I cut it vertically. I cut it this way. If I don't pull this down here and start cutting it, then my elevation would have to start here, but because I elevated up here for my first section and now elevate up to that same point, to create my guide through the site. Okay, so now, if I connect it right up here, I'm going to be leaving quite a lot of length in that outline. Okay, as soon as I start to bring this down. Okay, the more the lover I pump, the more gon na remove from the outline. So, the more shiny and more later, it's going to be through the forum area. Now, what I'm going to do is create a maximum amount of layer through that front without affecting too much of the length. So I'm going to keep my elevation high. So I find my guide, which is there I'm just gon na connect that lounge the rest of the hair. I only work in up into that first knuckle as soon as I get past that I've starts with his tension. Okay, all the way clip on alright. Now what I have now is up to guidelines. If you don't come around really fully Sophia, you can see if we have this length in the front, and we have all this length coming down through you know, even though it doesn't look like it, connects too much. If I brought this lower, they are gon na, pin it out normal. I actually want to leave it up kind of heavy corner in through there and really lighten up more rounder face. So I'm going to come through and just follow that same section, new pattern and the reason why this is a really nice way to do it doing the vertical first and horizontal. Is I don't have any of you have done this, but I certainly have come in to straightaway this way, as opposed to putting my vibe from the front to back. First and the horizontally and I've started to come up, and I've got to this point where the crown is now taken off this much heaven, I'm like okay, we're in trouble. She didn't want any layers in the back and now she's and there's in the back say. Having doing the vertical first gives me more control as to how much length I'm gon na need in the back. Okay. Now, because I've worked short to longer on the vertical. Now, working on the horizontal and I need to over direct, so what I'm gon na start to do is start directly towards the front. If you can't much closer so in to where my fingers are here, can you see if I lift out there, can you see that they don't meet? Can you see I've got one guideline here, one guideline here now: that's telling me they're like over directions: incorrect, okay! So what I'm going to do is start to overdrive it some more towards the front. Can you see now that that's meeting, let me kind of out for you one more time so neatly a perfect elevation and then they will start to me. There is so we're wondering whether Sophie's shoulders and arms are gon na last for as long something to cut his hair. I can see quite clearly that I'm title meetin ya, guys cinder, send us a little message. Let us know if you were working this way or if you do like creating these shapes, but you do it in different ways. Give us a thumbs up, I'm going to carry on like in this poll site now in the same manner hi from Perth Australia. Can you do this method with her extensions as well Mickey thanks for the question with hair extensions, if I'm being really honest, I'm no hair extension specialist, so I don't actually really have any hair extensions when they're business - I was here, maybe two or three times in My life, so I will decide, be the best person to give you advice on that. However, for me, with hair extensions, as long as you're being softer on the edge with what you're doing then everything's work the same, it's still hair. So I'll maybe do the same thing with the razor perhaps or with the points of my scissors, which will just as it falls it will just give it that little bit more softness, but the fact that we have a high innovation of this. In this scenario, that's going to work what welfare service is going to be softer now we do actually have damaged a Spinelli domain. Amazing hairdresser, all around who's, also well known for his razor cutting who's. Doing another snake light tomorrow with the razor, as he's naturally he's. Actually put together, this incredible course that we'll be collaborating on and called razor way focuses purely on razor cutting. So I'm attuning to monitor that as well. Quite a lot of questions coming in there, okay Maria says, so what will the numbering system be there? Okay, so, depending on how my angle is okay through here depends on my number system now with number systems they're. Very you know when you're talking about a number system, that's a very, very specific thing and in reality, as hairdressers, the amount of time we probably do an exact 2 to 1, 3 2 to 4 to 3. Is you know it's it's not it's not that often it that we do do it, of course, but it's not that often so if we were to talk number system I'll be talking back to previous 2 to 1, 3, 2 to 4 to 3. In reality, what we actually have is we have a guideline here and a guideline here. That'S telling us: where are the directions correct over so it's probably 2 to 1 3 to 2 and a little bit more? If that makes sense, does that answer your question? Let me know Jeff O'Neill says: are you bringing sections to previous or first section so more to previous them to first it's similar to Maria's question, so what I'm doing is that if, if I'm putting a GS back to previous, if you put a view come here Site for come close, can you see that they don't meet? Can you see I've got one right there all right lower, so I know that I need to interact little bit more and there that's when it starts to me. Does that make sense? So it's more for me. It'S a bit more of a feeling. Now, when I'm getting, let's say my didn't cut that middle section first and it was limited, be less than the fear they might want to be a bit more structured. In my section and like to get my balance, though, I know that my balance is going to be okay on this, because I have the two guidelines. Originally, it's almost like, they were direct to the correct point and my balance should be perfect. But to answer your question, it would be a roughly back to the previous situation. Annette says hello from Orlando Florida and Mickey said Mickey from previous said, loving this great explanations. So this is going to be my last section here now now. This is actually a really good point which I want you to go there or look at Monica's head them was down like this okay. So when I pulled this up to the other direction that I thought I could see that that wasn't connecting and you come and have a look. I could see that this wasn't connecting and I thought that strange, so lifting Monica's head back up and I came to that exact same place. Look at that! You can see my guy both spots on now. It'S really important guys to be aware. Okay of your clients hit position at all times because it will massively affect what you're doing. If I didn't have my guide line down the middle, then I would have probably made a mistake: hello from London, its Linda your students, together hello from Ohio, hello from Greece, watching from Trinidad, it's 8 a.m. in America, Francesco, says hello, James tuning. In now I lost the beginning: did you take vertical section to create your guide for the front and the connection in taking vertical Shepherd sections over directing to the previous section, through the center working shorter from the front in towards the crowd? Okay, I split that section in the middle sorry and then took horizontal sections in the front and use my guide line in the middle and used my elevation that I decided to then create my next guide line. So now I've got one line here and one in the front. So what we look at is this. These are my guys, okay, so now what I have to do is connect each time as I work back when we're to glide lines. So what I'm going to do now is to creating that same guy on the other side and do exactly the same thing. Maggie bit chart says where Chad says, which you always cut, this style standing in front of the client. Yes, but the reason why I don't come and tell you in one second: let me just get this section and they don't say now as humans, we have tendency The Fairly have tendencies to do things, things that we want network, naturally going to do so now. If I stand over here, okay, then we're not more likely to pull the hair towards towards me. That'S the way before more comfortable bring things closer into us. So as soon as I start to push that away for me to then really see where I am and how much lower Direction becomes much difficult, okay, whereas here since I'm here, it's a much more natural thing for me to pull the hair towards me. So that's why I would tend to always stand in front of the client. No, I'm gon na come on this side. I'M really when you're doing this in the style of it's actually a really nice quick technique, obviously with slowing things down and laying them. But if you're actually thinking about you know the amount of how many clients do we have that come in and say: okay, how many? I know that I get a lot of clients that say that to me - and this is a really nice way to that - there's a lot of people get scared of loads of layers in the back because they think it can look a bit mumsy or a little Bit a bit 90s Jennifer Aniston, perhaps so this for me, is a really nice way to give your head difference and make it feel a make it like it's not just hanging around your face, but without it looking too late in the back, I'm losing the length Stacy says: are you cutting the perimeter? No in my first in my first section this side bit, I might be taking a tiny little bit off from elevating up, but it's still gon na blend into it. Now, if, let's say, if I came through this same technique in the same manner and lift it all this up, the started cutting off the length neither side over directing everything forward and started affecting the perimeter. Can anyone tell me what the shape would be in perimeter at the back, how it would look? Could anyone tell me that there's everyday and let's see we can get back to its wit? This is the first time we're not done a couple of like clipper haircuts, but this is the first time I've done a haircut for probably four weeks. I'M waiting on the guys, the other guys will a trekker a sending me extending me out as we're out in the sticks. He'Ll send me to some men, some doll, heads and a tripod, so hopefully I'll have those in the next week or so I will be doing a lot more of these guys. For you guys, we've got your phone answer. Sorry, a lot of people saying V a couple of people saying triangle: ground: u-shape: yes, but you're! Basically right, if we're talking about short at the front and at the back, then we're talking about ground but really is going to come down to that B, because everything that coming through here, I think it's going to be left into a V. Very good. Have you know through my sections are same the other side, I'm going to connect all the way through into the top, and then, when that's done, we have much less. Today, that's really the focal point when I'm working, especially in the summer, you know guys. Let me know how long you guys get to help us in the Sunland. I give myself an hour for a consultation and wash cut and blow dry, so I can an hour per client, which I know is probably more than some of you. So I'm very lucky, but for me what I want to do is I want to find out where my where my biggest change is going to come from okay in the haircut and that's what I'm going to start. So I tend to start where I have to do the most and then focus on the next bit after that. So by using my to violence's, tell me where I need to be. We consider those connecting I'm just coming for it nice and clean using the same innovation. As I did the other side. We see we're lifting that up as soon as I start to come down here, look how much hair I'm removing, but for more hair removal. Moving towards the perimeter, which was that I'm going to be losing some of that um Marina says: do you check your length from the other side? These sections together? I don't I don't. Personally, I have a little feel of him, but I've got my guide here. So as long as I stick by that, then I feel much more comfortable. I'M going to show you a really good way that you can check just to check that your over Direction has been correct. All the way through, when I finish this section really nice simple way to make sure you have the correct over direction Stacy littles has per. I always have issues with my sections have to be small for my tiny hands, so I get overwhelmed with the sections. I feel I need to take ok. Well, that's that's really interesting, I think is you can start for me. What I'm trying to do is remove the hair that you don't want and keep everything super clean. So I've removed that then, when I'm focusing on that top then remove the hair you're, not using okay, claiming it underneath now the biggest thing that the thing that you don't really get taught. I think in the sound very well, but it's probably the most important thing about Hera's. Okay, now what I find a lot of people might teach this technique to them. Is they end up with that? Can you see how we've got this saggy root here all right now? What we want to see is this: can you see that tension and the elevation now what people tend to do is if you stand back a little bit that you can see one because they're everywhere, no matter what and we needed to elevate to about here right And that's when you get that you see this saggy area, but what I do. What I tend to do is I tend to right. Get that hair. My fingers where I want it, so I know I'm going about there then the root the coin goes in. At the root, sorry, I can flatten my comb, my fingers would follow and that should help you out a little bit with your tension. Now, once I've worked, that you get the hair underneath you're struggling and then just start to connect the connect, the dots, but I most of them amazing, hair colors that have got tiny little hands, and I think it's just about you know having that confidence. I think we get lost in hair a lot of the time. I thought that you know when I remember when I for the first few years of patent home, I found that I used to get lost a lot of the time and we used to get beaten and that I was in control, dependent control of me, and that Was a really big struggle and becoming in control the big thing for me being controllerhead? How I wanted it and that's all really comes through the comb, so a tip would be to really focus on your home unit. You can't pony head well I'll cut it! Well, Nico says: is it best to cut from the bottom upwards then work from the top back down? I mean for me it's what way your scissors are pointing as long as you're when you're creating your guide when you're creating your guideline. What I would do it is make sure that you realize you pull this hair from the bottom up when you've got your hair here. So I'll just show you quickly. So if you'll you're about to connect to that, I will pull this up and if you don't know copy length off and make sure you don't cut anything for you can see. So if you look at this angle in here, you can see for me putting that from there that I've got that perfect. I know I wanted right now. Maybe I wanted to take all of that out and then I would have had to check that that was ok the same when cutting my first vertical section. Well, if I just start cutting at the front all right - and I don't check where my length is - I want it at the back, then I'm in trouble all right. So maybe if I say yes so when I'm looking at this, I'm checking that the length on that how much hair are going to be kind of that and what I've got it put in line with my god. So I'm always thinking ahead. So I checked this length in here. I know how much I'm going to take them off and that back there does that make sense that you know. Hopefully it was and because I'm using the last high-elevation even on this kind of texture head, it shouldn't go in line there. It shouldn't be heavy the leg. The Larry should be really slow. So now we can see what I'm going to do so. The way that you know, I told you, I was going to show you a way that you can check this now. This is how we check it now. We know that we've started off with a vertical section. Let me shorten on the back and then we've connected on the horizontal. We ain't using other direction to make sure that we match this. If I pull this straight out at the back, so if I ever make a straight out from the head, then, if my other direction on both sides correct, the knit should join up at the top. If it doesn't, let's say the middle bit shorter and the sides are longer then I'll know that I over directed too much okay, let me know if that makes sense, can we see we're connecting all the way through, which is what we wanted all right. So that's good news. That'S a good start now what I've done it is Monica wears a hair up both in the middle and to the side. So what I've done is I've done this to the middle, so we're going to work that balance all the way through? Even though I think I'm going to start from the side today, it's a bit the difference, we're gon na we've cut it from the center parting, so that means it has balance on the right field. So guys, please, let me know if you have any questions at all. If this is making sense to you, please like and share the video leave us a comment. We'D really appreciate it to come around the front. Don'T tell me to come around to the front. For me, when I'm working, I lots, keep everything where so. I can keep everything even and everything evenly controlled survive before I start on this back, I'm just going to give you a quick recap. Okay, so what we've done is we started with first perception from the crown to the front: hairline: okay, we've elevated this up; alright, a lot cutting angle from shorter in the front and longer in the back, which we work around okay. Now, from this point, we've then come through on the horizontal and elevated up to the same elevation as that front there and worked our guide line through into the side, then using these two guide lines connected all the way through to the back doing the same thing. On the other side, making sure we're nice and balanced, alright, I'm really on a visual if you hold on to this rope for a sec, so you see, I'm almost literally just see that we have this nice balance pretty here. It depends on new confidence in your level and when you have a spoke, but you know suddenly I'm happy if I can't normally see if there's something wrong by putting this up at the back up checked. My consider balance is good Wow. Now, let's focus on this back area, so now I'm going to take away that from there. Okay, I'm just going to start to take this back. Well, the reason we planted this was just to get out the way to make sure that if I put it back still it's not going to come back with you. Okay, I need you to sit on now. What I want to do now is just start to connect it back into those layers. I'Ve done on the front so that there's a blend okay, otherwise it's just gon na feel a bit too heavy in this back start to work at worst I'll say if you did on the camera. That'S nice! It'S actually much harder than you think, probably cover up for that patter now from here. How do I find my guideline? Well, what is our pitch a little better say that we've got here, put it up and then start to connect. You can see it's like we'll see that look down here, I'm only connecting up to there. This has all falling inside out line, which means that my outlines still going to be really nice and full, and really nice and strong I mean Monica - has very thick hair. Anyway, but the length that it is, you don't a layer it too much, but it might look too far in the night. Okay, that's one reconnect! You can see now that all of this is still in that length which is going to be nice and full. For me, so I'm always thinking about everything, I'm not just thinking about. What'S in my fingers, we say you know something: that's been sick for a long time in the hairdressing industry, but a really good part of what we said is so you know if you have like the we think about. Like advice cough time, I've created something he's chiseling in a face into something he's never written here. Looking at that, little bit we're stepping up and seeing the same, exhausted hair. You need to think about Dallas London says she likes your jeans. Monica and Linda says. Thank You Sophie much appreciated thanks, Linda and Brianna says. How would you section if the client were to have a deeper side parting? How would you balance it out, so it's not super heavy on one side in the front. Is that just what you said about cutting it to the middle? Yes, that's a really good question. I know that we have to be balanced in the crowd right, so I'm gon na put in my my side, parting, where I want to cut it to well. I am rather than doing one section. Basically, I would do two sections, basically one being just do one. Let'S say the side part was here, then this would have to be shorter, and this I would have to be wrong about so when it falls, it will full balance that that fun, but at the back it should be the same still so the way that I Measured that the way I would measure that is, if the party's here, okay in the distance from the center to that passing, is how much longer your other side has to be along. The side has to be because that's how much very much traveling does that make sense. Question Katie says: are using any product home or you're cutting us just water. Isn'T it there's a floor? Actually, someone's asked for an email for contact after this yeah James, so James or you can contact sorry Stacy littles back on saying. Is this a concave layer? So when we talk about these different things, really interesting, concave you'd be saying that would be concave yeah. We'Re talking cave convex all these things now for me know, there's only three different ways when you pull that half of the topic and really look in your balance. Okay, it's either that way. It'S that way, or is that way, and rather than focusing too much on what that's called think about what that does, and why it does that. For example, I might cut the same haircut on two different heads, alright, and it might finish looking like that. One like that, but it's because of the bone structure, that's different right if I were going to cross something that went like that on top of someone's head. That looked like that, I wouldn't need to use any other direction if there and that how to use. I would actually soon, as the head starts around, to create that to benefit to turn to compensate for the head shape. So I think what you need to start thinking about more. So is why you want these things. I how it's gon na relate to the bone structure, because you know really, if I pull this up on the top, it's going to look like that through here now: okay, that's how it's a little bit now if the head shape was different. It might look like that or it might look better okay, so it's really dependable in the bone structure. Obviously, the more is what you'd say with concave this way, the more we removed from here the more weight would keep an outline yeah, the more convex the more weight believed was the top of the head, the more the better mood towards the bottom. So I hope that answers your question without just saying, because for me just saying, oh, it's come back to its compare Boise where I was wrong. It doesn't really answer enough. I feel like we need to think about. Why is these things and how he made it? Like that Jeanne Yates, he says what kind of cream are you using a very great cut on this beautiful model says Chris ghost you should make some short cut. Yes, since I get my doll's head today, I'm gon na be doing some short, so much more creative haircuts son. There was only so much Monica would allow him to, but yeah also, please check out the rest of our slate lives and you know normally because you know every month and they're all under the videos on our select Facebook page. So please do check that out and hopefully you'll be able to find some cool things. I'Ve done some really like interesting. Little shorter looks from there. So yes, so let's know you find what you're after I think it's nice sometimes to go back to doing something. That'S really classic and something that actually, if we think about it, we do every day you know I went on working in education and I'm teaching them. I don't we don't work with loads and loads of long hair. We do you, we obviously do not as much as we do the short hair, but really when I'm in the salon working which I'll do you still do like two to three days a week. I do clients in the southern. You know this is the sort of thing that really makes the money misses the thing that we do in our same short, haircuts that creative about some clients, but you know in reality. This is this is what we do all day every day so shouldn't we. You know - maybe you've spent some more time focusing on this as well or making ourselves better, but the stuff that we do do, I think in any kind of artistic industry. You know we have. We do the stuff that that we have to to allow us to do the stuff that gets us excited. That'S a really important thing to remember and not to become too too arrogant in the sense of thinking like. Oh, I only want to do this haircut. I want head this way now. I think you know we always need to keep exploring and keep learning and appreciate the people that actually do they pay us more questions, Maria Cristina. How long into your courage has you become completely confident in cutting her, maybe probably only in the last three or four years, and I still doubt myself at times. I still do things that I don't like so much you know, but without doing that, you're not going to learn without trying to to push yourself and do things that that you end up hating that other people don't like that means you're just being safe, something you Need to push you know, you need to make mistakes and that's how, when you don't have you know, educating with you every single day, then you need to then push yourself if you need to. I could have been coming out for 40 years and still no not know what I was doing or feel confident. It'S really due to the the education that I have. That allowed me to feel the companies that are doing that when I cut hair and that's why I'm so passionate about education, because I think you know I've been lucky enough to travel the world cutting hair and you know you know, inspire people from was a little Better for me, education has allowed me to do that so now I feel like. I want to try and help people and make you know, but in the day education, when Nico says, when textured cutting, do you still keep the hair wet or do you cut it dry? So if I am pointing into hello, I was put into heaven it's dry now, the reason being that there's weather has wet. First of all, it all sticks together. Okay, so I have less control how much way from the moving from it. The other reason is because I can't see the lane, so no one is to watch so I rather dry the hair and then start up at much extreme or if I dry, the hair. I see that white needs removing from it. Perhaps it's not texture. That needs to be done. Perhaps my technique was slightly wrong, so I need to go over and we'll recheck here and maybe elevate slightly higher some things a bit too heavy Genevieve says, with this cut: look good on curly hair yeah a length of down here that I almost worked it from A fringe length or through here which gives us really cool of sweeping fringe and just make it really modern. You know if we're going to talk a little it just really briefly about how could we, you know, changes in their depth because that's what we like to do we like to adapt to change things and so on? So I've done is haircut before, but I've sectioned it if you come over here slightly Sophie just so I can show so just below the crowd actually section that off to play that yeah and laid is quite short in too long and that underneath so work. This very short in too long. I think I did this retraction Michael Winner in Cyprus and then worked opposite ways where I'm sure a lot we have in this front area and then clouds that fell back. It fell over all these layers in the back that just made me kick out that door. It was really interesting. So I think you know things are about the basis and then we can adapt. We can play with it and that's what I think coming here and it becomes the most exciting is when you do start to understand. I mean you can start to do the same thing in different ways and different things in the same way and Lauren. Who is our cousin Jason's girlfriend hi Lauren and if you have a widow's peak, is there a certain parting? You should have normally with some woman that much of a strong hairline you'll have your head? Will partner more place and you'll find it will be very difficult to park somewhere else just because of how how adamant it is that it wants to do that, so I think there's a right and wrong way with with with that, I think no, it's with parties, It tends to be more about about your bone structure and symmetry. So I think if you have one with this peak - and you can part it in more than one place, Amy at Rowley, Elliot sorry, Rowley says Jimmy: where did you get your shirt from a hand-me-down? Is it Ben Sherman, Ben Sherman, so a Brianne says shut, so in the back? Do you over direct to the back at a 45-degree angle, its we've started to lots of questions coming in, though okay so start in the back on this. In this triangle, section I've started to pivot it around now for the first section or two, what I did that pitch straight out on the base, so that other direction now what I didn't want to do here was, I did not want to come shorter in the Back than I have in the front, so I'm not started cutting on this length of the front okay. So what I've done was I started to either direct in my last few sections right to see. If I blend now, I might have been a bit over cautious. What we might see is, if I come out in the horizontal, I probably a little bit too much at first. So, let's see so we can see on length in the front is here and lengthen. The back is here over directed. So all that means is that I just need a little bit less. Where did you get this technique from I've? Been cutting hair, similar like in a similar way from the vertical to the horizontal and connecting the two points, and that was Michael, Michael Center. The co-founder and director very patiently showed me this um Maria Pet Cove says what what do you like? More teaching or working in the salon, what is really important is that I have I do do both there's a lot of people go into education and then stop doing any finance, or maybe you've got two times that year or something, and then they stop having up Reality they used to do not fire hair palettes and that's it. So I think it's really important that I can actually relate to people that go into this. I examine the Gunners and horses and everything I was not 17 and going doing this course would have been like well, but these haircuts are amazing, but first of all just spent seven hours doing them and secondly, none of my clients are going to happen. So I think it's really important to be able to relate to a person and that's why I'm really passionate about hair cutting over haircuts so rather than you know, you can of course it no. We need to leave with three haircuts. Leanne says confidence is a hard thing. I'M mature, aged and qualified twelve months ago knocks back with numerous jobs now, so I don't cut. How is the best way to get back into it without going back to school? You know. Confidence is something that you can actually or confidence comes from being skilled with something if you're not confident, not as good as you portably is something you're, not gon na be confident in it as far as I'm concerned. So for me, you know, that's why I think education is such an amazing tool being able to you know like rather than going to going to school, for you know, however long until he isn't doing any kill whatever is you know going into education, for example? I'M actually working with someone at the moment is watching 2ee, who hasn't cut hair for a long time. She wasn't confident enough to go in for something to go and start doing haircuts. You know she wasn't. She was mainly economists and the difference that we've seen are not perfectly clear coming to Japan, scribbler, probably eight and nine, so not a huge amount that the difference has been humongous in her world and that's only comes from her. You know she thing or coming herself because she's better now, which is better in the way that she works, so naturally become more confident when I first qualified I was always quite competent person. I was not confident at what I was doing because I didn't feel I was very good, so you can't, I don't think, be confident in yourself if you're not happy at the level of skill right. So that's where I think you know. Without going back to school, you can start looking at courses, okay, one-two-one and these sorts of things start using things like this platform, she's in Australia in Australia, amazing, so start using these platforms, this online educational, as much as you can buy a few dolls and start Playing around and - and you know, if you ever want you to please you know - I've mentioned my email earlier James - it's late head upon, but if you do have any questions about these sorts of things, I'd be more than happy for you to just send me an Email drop me a message on facebook or instagram, and we can talk more about because you know. I think this is what education is important. Niki Joslin says: is it the same elevation as the front so yeah? That'S that's what we're aiming to get fearful because we're not at the same elevation if I now common lover, so I need to be really aware. I take it from here when I take my first section as I come around a head, but that's all good in me. So, while going through this winter from my corner, all the way around to the front now they're, just connecting all the way through making sure Nico's says which cuts the more challenging long, hair or Kippur cuts, because it's so different, I think if you do clipper cuts. All day, you know you're a barber parts you're going to find long, hair really intimidating. If you comes in off the skill page you're going to be terrified, so I think that you know it's all depends on your skill bases. Isn'T good used to used to do? Do you like long hair or short how to cut a same sort of question, and I suppose I still find and the reason being is, I think you can manipulate the bone structure me. I think you can change the face and the head shape walk with shorter hair. You know it's very very when I'm cutting something the way out here. I'Ve got to take my eyes with the ways out here to see what it's doing conquering something here over here. That my eyes are there's instant gratification doing so. That'S the only reason, really short hair long hair also be very interesting, and you said about like your Instagram messaging, you ever can use to tell people your Instagram is Instagram, which I've never done. I don't think was ever done, that's where the headphones not gon na, but just policy having another using it. So what I'm really kind of just a really nice loose loose finish so I'm going to after I finish this deception coming through here, I'm just going to work through in qualified, and then I went off my retrained. The training that I needed jobs, re trained for four to six months and on time, do every day really eighteen, then I probably then qualified again in another place. When I was about 21. That was about how much I almost instantly started to go into education, because I was really fascinated by it and I was really lucky well, I was there, they were putting me straight. You know me straight into it shadowy and stuff so from the front to the back and a business at any corner. I have I'm just gon na move, so just from here what this is gon na. Do students really know this sure it says what what pulled you into knowing who to get involved with she she's in the u.s. she'd love some way of hang on I'd love to get into some way of education in the u.s.. I don't know, might start what pulled you into to knowing who to get involved with. Well, we basically spend a year once a month, there's like 10 of us in this room, our team once a month and we would go and just going to have different days of different inspirational people. So some days with session styling other days were precision, cutting and all of these different different areas of the industry and what I found was is, I was always really into cutting hair graphic restrain things, and then I we have a David mark Haley's. I remember just loving it and then we had a day with mahogany as well, which is quite super, that sort of vibe and what they will then eat us is what they were selling and that's what I knew. That'S what I. What I really wanted to do is I want to progress in that particular. I think some people can be amazing everything, but I think you have to pick one, but for me I always wanted to just do one thing and know that I was doing it right and taking all my energy into that one thing. So, as far as we're able to find something like that, it depends will be repeating they would be looking for. I think they need to know where you want, where you want to build the confidence or where you want to grow and then start your research start asking. You know stop asking hairdressers online and you see someone whose work message that you know addresses some kind of rock star any situation. I think people were always well. I thought he brought was a much more willing to help than I thought they would believe it. My kind of hero - you know, after a message, then they're like message me back and stuff really amazing, um Liz Smith says my my kitchen looks like a showroom because all of my appliances still have the store stickers on I like to keep things. Looking you sure says she also wants to know what you call this sectioning, so we teach a similar version of this haircut. No geometry of courses will teach a long amount of mind around there, we'll take our minds by line and then on line up from here. Then we actually use that liquid upfront then create the layering. So really receptions name was all I would say is there's three different kinds of sections that you have. You have vertical, you know horizontal when you have two. So really you know what we're working with here is: we've started off with a vertical they're working into a horizontal over here and then from the back. We start with a vertical section and we've pivoted around all the way from the head, and now I'm just working in horizontal there's almost like a cross-check just to remove that little corner other sections where, where the sections were separated, I always find whenever you're separating the Front from the back with the sides in the front, you know back to the top of whatever or they just come for again, so that on my system is here always come through and just have a look and make sure that you don't have any corners or Any separation - that's just going to add that little bit extra fluidity into your work, so I'm just gon na clean this up here and that's just a time. Let me know you start with you're thinking about the way we're creating this. You think it all makes sense to you have any other questions. You know technical questions or questions about your journey. Then let me know you Jen says hi James. Can you replay recap, please what you did from Kingston? Ok, I'm going to do Moreno pet Maria Petco says James. Did you outline the base, did? Did you James? Did you the outline base for this haircut? First? Are you coming straight to layers? Ok, so no straight into the the reason being is. I didn't actually want to cut the length at all actually wanted to keep the rent that we had. Okay, because, although with one of his hair, it's almost a bit it's a bit, it could do with a little bit of a trim. You'Re. Looking for my hairdressers perspective on the end, actually quite like that, you know kind of hi. How do you find corners in your haircut? Any tips for me remember that corners always a bad thing. Well, corners are as way, and sometimes we want weight in there. So don't force equals and chocolate more think about why they're there right so, first of all what I do the area where you normally get corner firs. What actually can anyone tell me when were most likely to file corners and the haircuts think about the head shape? If I hit water very abstract without filming now she's up in the counter, because my back I'm trying to stay back as well when you spray that cuz, I don't want the lens camera network, hiding Morgan, says sides Brianna Brianna, shine yeah, where you thought you said: Where'D you find corners in you and then Brianna says where your sections meet. Yeah Christie, mcclenney bangs, give her a fringe. Basically Jeff O'Neil says: when cutting a square shape. Okay, I'm not laughing at you, nothing to say gray. Peterson says I've been having some difficulty finding. My callers as well word unbuttoning. My shirt help we come around. The creek Christine McLean has said twice now, show short haircut on camera girl, yeah yeah. Well, so I'm finding a quick recap, a few guys about. So all it is. We started off. I sectioned off from the crown to a point just behind the ear making sure these sections are balanced on both sides. Then I went to the vertical section from the crown to the front hairline and well. It'S a camera went shorter from the front to longer towards the back, alright, but then came through you split this in the middle, and you use that as a guide to either side and elevate. These up. Alright, then, because of our first set, have been short too long, then I over direct it to the correct point, okay, which this center section told me free website. By the way these are quite high. It was all to leave the length in that outline. If I came along, we've removed more than methods have been more layer for the button, then from the crown. Okay, let my found my length that we've already cut that take a vertical section in the back and connected connected over the crown. Okay, elevating up higher to maintain the length and the outline I don't pivot to ground all the way around the head: okay, just to make give it a little Koscheck room, and it's all through them just up there. Now, where are seperate my sections on this King and about nice and high and just remove that corner so the whole head? I had a really nice place, alright. So now what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na get a little bit. Ashley said: how did you know how much to cut off your first section, so what I did was, I first in fact is I looked at where I wanted that length to sit in the front okay, so where I wanted my length to sit down here that I knew where Raphael wanted to be there. Okay, I've ended how much I'm going the back to be laid it. So I pulled up this section of the battens thought where I kept it. This is the one in the front power forward in the back. That'S the angle I need to cut and then from there I could figure out how much I needed to keep in these ciders. Let me know if that helps. Did that make sense to you. Thanks for the questions hi James after blow waving, slash styling, the hair. Do you go back and cross check it now? The other thing is: I'm gon na spend all day blow-drying this Alfie. So what I'm gon na do is show you something a little bit more than natural, something that I like, and I'm going to diffuse the hair. I'M not going to do it fully. I'M just gon na give you a nice idea and look to your bike. Yeah, that's it hm! I think this applies to love. Okay just come over and start to try and drive it and it's natural food. I don't want this to be super curly. I just want it to be really nice and natural to touch that hair too much the more. I touch it with my fingers. The more resist gon na go now if this was really curly, hair, naturally curly hair - and I wanted to get qualifying tournament wonders I put my product in at eight sections - are actually cutting each section through and let it balanced, and what that would do is that You stop if you've risen, so much and it'll give it a muscle, apply and finish. You can already see that sacred thought that they probably said that stories are not waiting about it. So now the pull-up caucus to admitted to the center. What I described earlier on cannot suicidal because none of his hair is worn in many different ways. He flips it around. Whoever said the parties, where the side Pauline I wanted to, do it in a way that she could move it around a lot so because of sexually either this our party over this side, his side's gon na, feel, like it's got a little bit more body to It a little bit sorta decided been a while. Actually can that be quite nice, let's try the other way. Oh very good. We guys. Let me go even joy when we sin, then, though, there's anything specific, you want to see free right. It'S not on a high heat or medium heat first speed, but the highest see why things are always going low, speed, quite heat than the fusion. I just want to get a really like almost I hate the word DG, but but I mean like a really natural finish really naturally, and once I get once I've got the hair last 60 % around what it's 70 cent now, I'm just going to give it A little faster and having that better condition it, she just helped me and stop it you going to pair up to 32 to prison. This is help way ahead a little bit. What I often do is well in the southern is: I would get them from the chair to slide that bomb down in their head. Laughs like that, and that way there has been much before and they're quite comfortable, and you can spend 10 15 minutes get that underneath that box right we're not very surprisingly, any interruptions from southeast Wawa or any other any other things. So in quite lucky. Today, Mikey Berkshire says you always explain everything very well. James is amazing, and she very recently came at this abundance for a once, one, a ones along with many nerds in our family in Soho, which was really really cool. Looking forward for this quarantine to be reversed, you can carry all this more that so I think I'm pretty much there, I'm pretty much happy there cause that's going to be she's going out anywhere. So, okay, but I see - but this is all about taste, though, isn't it you know some of you must properly like a much more like defined finish that over the brush or the reformer, sir, but I've seen I really like natural hair.
