Modern Farah Fawcett Layered Haircut Tutorial

One of the key things is to make sure that they open up and kind of come off of the face, and then we want to be able to peel back that fringe. What'S up guys welcome to today's class? So let's go over the hairstyle um one thing i want to showcase you guys. I did pull up pictures some of the pictures of the pharah faucet haircut, we're gon na modernize it today. So some of you guys have seen it in different forms. It'S just got a ton of layers. They come off of the face. It'S a center parting, so first off, like i said, i'm going to be cutting this on dry hair. So i want you guys to just understand that the purpose of that is, i just want to see it come to life right away. Also, some of the techniques i'm going to use are going to be softening techniques. When you cut this haircut, which in the 70s probably would have cut it wet when i cut it dry, especially that fringe i'll be able to soften those layers, a lot more in those lines right away, as opposed to cutting a very blunt line at first and Then trying to soften it later in the dry cut all right, so this is a beautiful hair color by brian. If you guys are wanting to learn this, i think it was the sarah jessica parker, the modern day version that i believe we put out yeah it's out on youtube now um, so you guys can check that out. If you like, the hair color, what we're going to do with this haircut is, i want to start off in the front and work my way through and feather the sides. First, then, what i'm going to do is i'm going to go into the back and cut a little bit of layering in there as well, but i just want to start off i'm going to take a triangle section right out of the front. Now i've got this nice little triangle. This is going to be our fringe, so this is where i talk about being able to create that softness using either a scissor or you could even use a razor, i'm going to use a scissor today. One of the key things is to make sure that they open up and kind of come off of the face, and then we want to be able to peel back that fringe. So it kind of sits off. So you want to reserve a little extra length in the haircut so that you can pop that fringe up and back off and away so i've got this triangle here and what i'm going to do with that triangle is i'm going to take it and i'm going To put it right in front of the opposite triangle, so we've got two. So what i'm going to do is i'm going to take the left side, pull it over to the right side and that's where i'm going to cut it now. I want a little bit of a blunt line, so what i'm using is a wide tooth comb. This wide tooth comb allows less tension in the hair. Less tension in the hair creates a softer effect in the hair. So what i'm going to do is i'm going to take those wide teeth and i'm going to pull the hair over to the side. Now, the more i extend and shift the more extreme that line becomes. So this is a much thicker effect. But when you look at the modern day take on this classic, you can see that it's obviously a little longer on the edges here, but because it flips out it becomes almost like a straight line. So what i don't want to do is overdo the over direction and create too much length, because if i do that, that's going to take away it's going to create too much extra length on the sides and that wouldn't give me that same effect so again triangle Over top of this triangle bring it over here and then that's where i'm going to cut it. What i want to do is i want to use just the tip of my scissor and work a line on the hair, i'm going to bring this over just like that, and this is where i'm going to cut, and then i want to look at this line And is that line how i want it to be so i see it drop, i'm going to take a little extra length off of this. You can see that it has that little bit of extra length, but then it creates almost a straight line across, which is what we're going for. So now we bring the opposite side over to this side. I can grab a little piece from underneath as a guideline. Don'T grab too much okay, so now i've got my fringe that that's the basis of the cut. So now what i can do is i can take out the side and i'm just going to continue. So i have a diagonal line here. I'M going to work back! Another diagonal line here so diagonal line here and now i'm just going to shift and create another diagonal line almost following the hairline and then it's going to turn into a diagonal back there's a couple ways we could do the layering on the side. If i want to remove a little extra weight, then i would go a little more elevation based like this. If i wanted to just slide some of those layers in, i could just slide through and cut the two different ways create just a slight difference. The slight difference would be, if i slide through it and cut the length. What that's going to do is give me heavier back push a push back of weight a little bit heavier because i'm really just cutting the surface of that section. If i elevate and cut i'm going to be cutting more of that section off, taking out more weight and creating more layers. But if you had somebody with fine hair, which was a question that we had at the very beginning, then you would want to scoop in as opposed to taking out too much of that weight. So what we're going to do here is again. Take this opposite side. Pull it up over top of the previously cut side? Now i come in here and i can point cut into this section - all right so cut that section now i want to look at where these layers starting to hit for me, i can go a little bit shorter with them. Now i'm gon na do the same thing grab another section again, starting to shift, so i go from here, shifting back so just grabbing a little more hair starting to follow that hairline, and i really just want to go and you can go as far back as You want you just go until the hair doesn't reach anymore, so you can see the hairline coming back. This is where her hair is the thickest. It gets thinner because the density changes and it starts to work its way up on the ear and around the hair line this way, so you only have this much hair in the back here. You have this much so you're, just working with a lot more density. In the back, so somebody that has super thick hair, you might want to change up this whole thing in the back, something that has finer hair. You might just want to continue through bringing everything up which will keep that density in the back all right. So now i want to get in start working a style through it. I got a couple of different irons. I got my paul mitchell wand iron. Here i've got a smoothie iron paul mitchell, pro tools, neuro iron, i'm going to put that at 390 as well, and then i'm going to use i'm going to do a little bit of uh. This is palmital, worked up, i'm going to take those diagonal sections kind of similar to what i did and i'm just gon na work now take my wand, okay. So now i can slide cut into some of these pieces where i just want to take a little bit of length off. So a little half close and the reason this works so easily guys is the fact that we went in and cut it with elevation first. So it removed a lot of weight so because it's light um in each section. Now it's easy for me to just kind of glide through and cut you
