V Shaped Haircut How To Cut A Long Layered V Shape Haircut

All right guys we're gon na start off the haircut by taking a horseshoe-shaped section, a long, pried orig down through mid crown and then back down parietal Ridge meeting at the recession points of the head right there. So very simple, sectioning! That'S the one thing I love about this technique is that we have basically two sections, the top and the bottom, so we're going to start by taking our diagonal back partings and then over directing it straight to the front of the face straight out, which you can See in the bottom left hand, corner diagram that we're bringing it just straight out finger angle is parallel with the face. So if you wanted to create different angles, you can definitely play around with that, but I like to keep it pretty pretty standard, especially with medium density hair. Just keep a note that finger angle parallel with the face works really well, so just working our way down the head shape. I think the one thing that you want to keep in mind is that a lot of people want to create the v-shape of the layering, and they want to do that either first or they don't pay attention to the structure of the haircut to aid in the V, shape of the haircut so right now we're creating a shorter front longer back. What that's gon na do is put that point into the back, but it's not gon na create a perfect v-shape. What'S going to create, that is at the very end when we go in and do that detail work which I'm gon na show you guys so just make sure my thought process is. Let'S work on the interior of the haircut first, let's work on the layering. What we're doing now we're removing weight from the interior, creating our layers and then the that makes the perimeter detail work very simple, because we're not working with so much weight. So my elevation is nice and high medium level. Let'S say: fingers parallel to the face and just working those sections back stationary guide, like I said before, so each diagonal back section or working more vertical at this point, but just working my way down the head over directing everything over until I run out of hair Once I run out of hair, there's nothing left to cut and my line is created. So this is the last little bit you can see that I've shifted how I'm holding the scissor. In my hand, I've talked about this on past videos, but it's really just as a comfort thing, so I don't have to twist my wrist too much now we're gon na work on the top. This is a key part, because I think what we want to do is we want to remove a little bit of weight from the top so that it's not sitting on our outer perimeter line, so we can create a better line easier plus. I wanted to create some layering throughout the haircut, so my goal is to push as much weight as possible to the back of the head. So I'm over directing everything towards me over top of the forehead and cutting a horizontal line parallel to the forehead in the front. So that will give me my shortest point in the front and pushing the density heavier into the back back point of the haircut. So real simple, just about three sections over directing them to the same spot, so completely working with stationary guides. My guideline came from just the corner recession point from the previously cut section, just in case you guys are wondering you can see that v-shape, you can see it with the wave, how it kind of stacks up in the in the middle and gets longer to the Very bottom point: in the center back now we're just blow-dry quick flat, wrap, quick iron work and I'm gon na go through and do some dry detail work in the haircut. This is a great haircut for just getting a guest in and out of the salon, but with a lot of detail. So we do the wet cut. Now I'm going to go through detail and do some point cutting what we've talked about before and past videos as well. Is that point cutting is the best way to just remove some bulk from the edges. It doesn't mean we want to change the haircut, so I am taking a vertical section, but you can see my over direction and my elevation is the same as I cut it when it was wet. So I might be taking a vertical section now, but it there's really no difference vertical is working with the density of the hair and a lot less with the shape. So I'm going in here just removing some of that density lightening up the around the face and and the layers. So the one thing that I want you to notice in my point cutting is that my steady blade is what is going towards my fingers. So the the blade that's in motion is staying away from my finger. That allows me to not cut myself win point cutting so best trick, for that is to just take your scissor point it away from you and then point it back at you and that's how you should hold your scissor to do this type of point. Cutting we're doing a pretty deep point cut, but keeping this azar very vertical so that we're not removing too much bulk. I'M not trying to change anything just softening the layering in the haircut, so you can see that v-shape coming to life now. This is a little crazy. This is not something I would do in the salon, but I wanted to show you guys a visual of how I connect those two points. Obviously my guess would have shoulders and shoulder blades. So what I would do is just comb it down the back of her back and create this v-shape, but you what I want you to notice is the density around the edges of the hair. It'S nice and light. The reason it's nice and light is because we went in into the interior work first, so that allowed us to be able to just go in and create this soft v-shape line in the haircut. So the layers are already doing the v-shape, and now I can just go to the perimeter and make sure that that connects. The reason it doesn't completely connect right away is because, when you're over directing everything to the front of the head, what that's going to do is it's going to be great until you get some behind the ear and then you're over direction is going past too many Corners, so it pushes a lot of extra weight in the very back of the haircut so just going through using the tip of that scissor to go through detail the outer perimeter, and then you have a successful v-shaped long, layered haircut and that's it. You can see all the layers a lot of movement. I really dig this haircut, it's one that I've definitely done in the salon quite a bit when people want that v-shape in there a little bit of Brocato hairspray to finish it off, and that is the end result.
