How To: Long Layered Haircut With A Razor - Step By Step

Hi everyone, George 4pc here crafts hairdresser, co-founder of the harebrained community. It'S been a while, since I've been with you guys here on Facebook, so I'm excited to have this opportunity. I'Ve been very busy over at Instagram, live and curating that channel, bringing in a lot of incredible educators, everyday just finished up with our friend Travis Smith. So now it's my turn. I thought I'd share with you guys something that I've shared with you before, but I don't think can be shared too much how to use the straight edge razor or what I like to call folding razor. This is the feather plie to craft beautiful, classic long layers. So I'm starting off here first by trimming the length and I think what sometimes people maybe think you can't cut a loin with a razor. But you absolutely can you just really have to understand rotation and stroke. So what am I doing here when it's gon na turn around, so you guys can get a better angle when I want to cut a line, even a soft, either soft or clean and I'll show you the differences. Let'S say I'm down here. If I want to cut a really clean line with the razor, I do what's called edge, cutting with a closed stroke. Can we see that Cal yeah, you see how clean that is almost like a scissor just with a slight bit of texture on it. If I want to soften it a little bit more, I do edge cutting with a slightly more open stroke that just means bigger deeper and then, if I want to go even softer than that, which is what I'm doing here, I open it up a little bit More, maybe even about an inch up and down now that's the stroke now. The other thing to think about is the rotation and to me, that's the angle of the blade and relationship to the fingers that are holding it right now my blade is t2. My fingers will call that edge cutting all right. There seem to be a lot more definition in control of lines now here, I've pre sectioned for my layered shape, I'm just starting off by trimming. The outline I want to check it for balance feels pretty good. A little heavy on the left, now it's very often for me, what I like to do is do a little scissor checking, especially on the outline, if it's a really important kind of part of the haircut, so here just doing a little point cutting on the side. It'S a little heavy. You know why not check it with the razor, because it's going to also add more weight, removal, more texture. So if it's just a matter of being a tiny bit longer, I'd prefer to check it with the scissor and now we're I want to say hello to our friends. My wife Kelly is behind me: we've been in quarantine, the hell for I don't know how long is it very, very long today alone, you know fortunately we're in sunny Southern California, so we still have the outside and we can bring it indoors with us by just Opening up the sliding doors and stuff but hope you guys are doing well wherever you are, give us a shout out. Let us know where you're watching from and of course, if you have any questions, Kelly would definitely read those questions to me when you count, of course, just want to take a moment and say hello to everyone tuning in we got some some regulars here. With us, Frank, Musolino, Sona, broto, Michaela, Kevin Martin Renee Stone welcome everybody. Well, it's good to have all our friends here together I mean we're trying to stay connected through Instagram Facebook by doing education by sharing music, which we've been doing on Instagram on Saturday nights. We'Ve had fun with a house party, if any of you guys have watched that you get to see my other passion, which is DJing which, for me it's been a silver lining of quarantine. Here, it's helped me really be able to have the time to do it. It'S something that I had to kind of put on the back burner with traveling. So much and you know spending so much time, just doing things for her brain which we still are, but now traveling okay. So what did I just? Do I removed weight? I didn't really talk you guys through it, but came in. I elevated it a little bit and went straight in also edge cutting went straight into the hair, and then I gently with my fingers about an inch or two up and down stroked out in a vertical weight removal. There then, I came back to the ends and did a little bit more, so this you know is kind of other than that this stays dormant through the haircut. It'S not going to get affected much more. This is the overall length of the shaved and it's where all the layering is going to build off of so now, I'm gon na jump to the front. You can see the sectioning here, curves, like the hairline, and here we're also curving just gently up. I leave this hair out for the moment and we're going to add that into the shave as we do our face frame which gradually works us in total on layers. So I'm going to look at this length from the back and I'm just gon na cheat a little bit by estimating the length here at the front, I'm going to close the stroke more here in the front, because the hair obviously is thinner in front of the Ear so just gently getting my length in so those legs kind of not jump. I'M gon na do the same. Here again, you know you're gon na use any type of razor. I use the folding razor. I use the feather plie. This is available at hair brained. Pro for those of you that are, you know, maybe razor loving and want to go to the next level, but all the lessons that I'm teaching can be completely used with any type of razor. So right now, you're just matching the length from the back to the front, that's correct, so you can see here generally I like to work with a little bit of light product in the hair today, I'm using curly twists from our friends at gold. Well, I want to thank gold well and cow for what they're doing for the industry and for hairbrained they've continued to support us and sponsor us through these difficult times, and you know, we've got the cow initiative where they're really kind of doing much marketing, as they Can to let people over the world know to wait for their hairdresser and that we're gon na be there to take care of them real soon, and I think some of you guys were back in the salon. So hopefully, everything's going well you're, staying safe and taking care of your clients and they're, loving it okay. So now I want to start to create the face frame, so it needs to happen. Is I want to let this hair fall and natural fall? I want to start to use bias blade because I don't want a hard line. I used edge cutting and the hairline in the back here. I'M going to use a diagonal blade, but I put my fingers right below the lip blade. The agonal to my fingers. The stroke will be kind of medium closed. One two, three one, two three one, two three and I'm unzipping. That hair means like if my fingertips had a zipper and I'm just pulling the zipper through using the fine teeth of my tough comb. This is my favorite razor comb. It'S a carbon comb and it gives me incredible control gently same pressure. The tension and my fingers is good, but the connectivity with the razor is very, very gentle, and I work my way down towards that existing length. I'M going to come to the opposite side. To do the same thing, so it's important to make sure that my blade is in the same rotation as it was on the opposite side. This is where we can sometimes get lost coming here, making sure it's diagonal to my fingers, but focusing more on the heel of the blade and gently getting started. Nice rhythm gentle pressure work your way all the way through and now continue don't grab more than you can handle just from the finger tip to the knuckle. Once I reach the knuckle, I generally stop cutting and stop and continue through now. It'S typical that the length in this first section will diminish a little bit just a tiny little bit, because you're gon na build that up as you get around to the back feeling for balance from side to side. Okay, there's a little bit light hand about. My second side, so I'm gon na, go through it again, also common. I actually was saying she doesn't have the confidence to do this. What are some key points, while she's working on her mannequin confidence comes with practice, so you can definitely use a guarded razor to start off with. If that's what you're, referring to that the razor itself, and then I really recommend you learn how to be safe. I'M assuming she needs the confidence in terms of safety, and this is what you need to learn. It'S called lock and load. Anyone that's trained with me knows how important this is. If you take your pointer finger and put it on the comb like you normally would, if you've got a floppy razor that can easily cut you or cut anything that gets in its way. If you take your pointer finger and lock it around on the razor and pull it away and use these fingers to comb them, you're gon na get a lot more confident cause you're going to feel safe and safe, equals. Confident practice equals confident. Okay, checking for balance again much better. My second time I was a little bit cautious. My first go through now. It'S perfectly fine to also check with your scissor a little bit again. If that gives you confidence in the technique, you can come through and you know sometimes almost first guidelines I'd. Rather you spend some time making sure you're, confident and refined and balanced now again. Hopefully not a lot is coming off, but if a lot needs to come off it can teach you where you need to correct, maybe where you're kind of off track a little bit, laying it over my hands and just checking the ends of the hair. It also helps to seal the ends of the hair a little bit. I think of this. I call it air cutting and sealing it's like putting that zero gloss over a beautiful juicy kind of red hair color. It shouldn't change it. It should just help it to last longer be shinier. More beautiful ashley was mentioning the confidence comes with her, with with the balance from from left to right side that you know what it's always going to be a challenge and that's what makes a great hairdresser if you're worried about balance and your check game. I never take it for granted. I won't say I spend at least twice as much time on the on the first section that I will on the rest of the sections, and I will say I go through it. I go over it. I check it in my fingers and check it with the comma. I checked it with the scissor, you know, so it's a good thing to be aware of and just practice practice practice, but you have to think sometimes beyond yourself. If you're having a lot of trouble with balance, it probably has something to do with body positioning. That happens, a lot so really work in front of a mirror when you can or video put put your little iPhone on a tripod and just videotape yourself from five feet away social distance with your phone and and then watch afterwards. Your body position from left to right what we do naturally, is not always the best thing for balance. We have to think about a mirror image when we try to create balance next section natural fall, but with a little bit of elevation or projection off the head, shape roots are falling naturally, but I'm beginning to elevate and comb slightly off the head shape bias blade A little more open now and very important to have a nice rhythm to how we unzip that hair. So is anyone watching in the salon. Now I know some of us across the states and certainly across the world, are getting back to work if anyone's in the salon. Let us know where you are, where you're from. If everything is going? Okay, you know those of us in California New York, some other states. Obviously we want to hear what it's like. You know. We want to get back to work when, when we can, hopefully sooner rather than later - and we want to be safe. So how is it going for you if you're back in the salon, please let us know and what are your clients saying? What are they thinking? I'Ve heard a lot of great stories. People say the clients are so grateful, they're respecting safety, okay, so coming in now before I even cut the length I'm gon na, do what I like to call slicing just get in I'm not gon na. Do it right in front of the ear just in the temple and on the top of the head, so this just puts in some invisible layering behind the face frame continue to elevate now I cannot stress enough how important it is to master this technique to be Successful in the salon with razor cutting - and it's also the mother of many other types of shag, so here we're gon na come away with a long layer, not a shag, but I guarantee you if you understand this cut and you're able to execute it well, you'll. Naturally, be able to do beautiful shags with the razor continuing through always looking at my lengths behind the ear here. This has to gradually between this space here match to this here. Otherwise, you end up with a mullet, so that's kind of mullet control. 101. Once you want a mullet, then you can deliberately make sure that it doesn't match. So it's just this just as good all right. The head shape is changing that I'm going from the front roundness of the head into the flatter part of the head. I'Ll tend to put the head down a little bit now to help me elevate that I want to start to project this hair out and up a little bit more away from natural slicing. First we're just focusing on the last third of the hair. Just to get some chunkiness in the ends call me you'll notice. My hand starts to naturally rotate the hand. That'S holding them turn around quelle, so they can get a shot this way, so, instead of being so flat. Since I know I'm trying to lift more and more the beauty of this haircut, is you take a face frame proportionate the way you want it and gradually elevate it and rotate your hand more and more until it becomes kind of an inverted or concave layering, where It'S shorter on the inside and longer on the outside, which gives us lots of beautiful movement in texture last section here before we transition, but I'll probably do the other side first, just to keep my balance going, you can definitely go back and forth here. If that helps as well - but you can see this is kind of a point where I'm going to drop the mannequin down the apex of the head, is I'm approaching that so that means the heads getting higher so again for my body position, I've lowered her down A little bit slicing, first, every inch or so on the ends of the hair, not too close to the top of the ear, because that's where my length is we'll keep that light now, opening my stroke, unzipping the hairs. What I like to call it - I heard I've seen many many years ago from my friend, Robert crow means he called it unzipping when I was sliding through, and I stole that immediately and I've used it ever since you know all the best ideas kind of come From other people, don't they see that now? This is what I'm looking for. This is relating to this, so I'm safe I've got plenty of face framing. I could maybe add more texture later for a lot to what I'm definitely going to do spray a little bit more of the gold well curly twist here just to let this kind of settle in and bring out the texture will I continue on to the opposite Side, okay body position now I'll have to really think about where I was here, because I would be a mirror image. I was my knee to her me for the first couple sections this position to this position. Now I come over here. I need to be a mirror image, no matter how good everything else is in my hands. If my body is not the same, it'll be close to impossible to get good balance here, sectioning through vertical diagonal back using the guideline that was previously created here when I was matching my balance, little bit of projection off the base or elevation, but still a natural Fall if you start taking this, if you take it out of natural, fall towards the center of the head, it's automatically going to become more layer to the top and maybe get into more shag check to meetings. There'S a lot more layers through the top and through the inside of the head long layers, you know. Typically, the layers on the top of the head are very, very related to the longest layer they're, not too bad, which Warner cat continuing through now. Do you start to use some slicing to remove some weight as I follow through? Hopefully, we have some of our friends watching from around the country around the world. We do well. Nanette is here as well as people from India, Iran, the UK everybody's, watching, that's great. I know this bed, you know so much education, which is wonderful. I think you know too much of a good thing is wonderful, so I have so much love for my fellow hairdressers that are out there. I know this weekend's. On Sunday we've got a big day. We are doing a social athon for Sam, via which we'll be raising money, I'll be all-in forth in 45 minutes or so teaching. I would figure it out what I'm going to teach that. What do you guys want to see it's a big day, there's gon na be people every hour for like 24 hours and there's gon na be a chance to donate even a you know, a dollar two dollars and all that money's going to go to PVA to Help with kovat relief for professional hairdressers PPA is the professional Beauty Association elevating slicing those last ends of the hair. Last thirds of the hair. You can see the blade just peeking through stay away from the top of the ear and again continue. You know the beauty of razor cutting is once you get comfortable, holding the razor it's like sketching and sculpting into the hair. It'S one of the things that I fell in love with it. I love the haircuts to be simple, I'm very rarely overcomplicate or maybe complicate what I wanted too complicated haircuts. They tend to do that with the scissor. I feel a bit more like an architect for the scissor, where, with the razor for me, it's like sculpting. I love that just as much Gennifer Gennifer West is piping in with her two cents. She says a short hair for women. Extreme pixie would be awesome to see awesome and you know what, if you want to see that right now you can head to my Instagram TV actor works for PC. I think I've got two or three short haircuts up there and full yeah. We'Ve done a lot of lives here and I've done that a few times different versions, scissor razor drawers for PC on Instagram. I'Ve got a lot of full lessons up there on my Instagram TV, okay. So now we've got the face framing on both sides. Again at this point sometimes I'll stop and check, but I will let you guys in on something. So you see these. These are matsutake scissors. This is a box from the 90s. One of our main seasoned reporters have told me that they have found a whole case. Full of matsutake scissors from the 90s that have never been used, so they're living actually brand-new condition from the 90s and what what I'm thinking here? I'Ve been testing them all on their beautiful matsuzaki quality. He really just wants to liquidate them and get rid of them. So we're gon na be able to offer these very soon on harebrained aficionados. Excuse me on harebrained Pro for no more than $ 150. Now this is a great Japanese scissor. A true Japanese scissor matsuzaki is one of the legendary scissor companies. Again, they were made in the 90s they've all been checked and we'll continue to check them all to make sure that they're in beautiful condition, which they are this one's, called that a XR for those of you are familiar with matsuzaki, it's very similar to a 5 Star same shape, so I'm having these little shipped to me, I'm going to inspect every single one even after they were inspected by our scissor and quarter and then we're gon na get them out there. So you'll be able to, because I hear a lot of people saying they're: they brought out a few pairs of scissors to work with different clients, so these will all be $ 150. There'S something like six different types out there. So look for them soon. We'Re probably going to do a pre-sale because just wondering if we I was a little bit far away. Can we get a little bit close up on that scissor, please sure. So if you're familiar with matsuzaki at all matsuzaki is a legendary Japanese company everything's in the original packaging beautiful packaging from the early 90s. I believe it is and if you're familiar fences Aki this is the same shape. I'M very used to do my favorite sister, the 5 star. It'S technically not a 5 stores called an ax are, but it's the same exact shape, that's very familiar to me and they feel beautiful again because they were kind of essentially found we're able to offer them at a great price and that'll be available soon. I think there's five or six different styles, so that hopefully there'll be something for everyone. Okay, so you can see what's happening here, face framing textured graduation into the outline in the back now. This is where the hair gets the most layering, I'm gon na start to pivot off the crown I'm gon na clip the unneeded hair out of the way I'm gon na use. The guideline from behind the air put the head down turn around this way. Perhaps a little now we're getting the most elevation off the apex. The projection is much higher than its than anywhere else. Ashley was wondering what size are those scissors? Those particular ones are about five and a half inches, but in the lot of scissors that we found there's everything ranging from five up to about six so they're, you know when we have them available, which will be any day now, there's kind of something for everyone. There'S there was nothing really larger than six, but we've got five fives and a half's and sixes in that lock that we found pivoting around the head and all different styles of handles and different. Some of them are offsets and the mccrane. So it's it's exciting. For me, I love tools, and today I know that everyone, you know still is gon na need new tools, but perhaps the really expensive stuff. You know we might need to hold off for a minute so to be able to find something that I can think is amazing, but also be able to sell it at a price to my fellow hairdressers that you know is going to help them right now. I think is also amazing, James Arvind itis here he says he's here and he misses you and all this good stuff. How will we know when these scissors are available? Are there lefties, unfortunately, no lefties, sorry guys? Yes, they do it's poor, terrible. The remedies in the mix there they will any day now so watch harebrained official on Instagram watch. My personal Instagram check us on Facebook. I have my like, as I said, the person who imports the scissors for me he's inspected them all, and he you know says that everything's in beautiful condition, but I ask that they first be sent to me so that I can look at every single pair and Make sure that their craft hairdresser quality, which I you know I know they all might like finding. You know it's like finding some Ferraris that have been in a garage somewhere for which is kind of Awesome. Again anybody that is unfamiliar with matsuzaki, you just google it. I know you know nowadays, Japanese scissors are, you know, maybe kind of common, but matsuzaki was really one of the first, if not the first brands to introduce quality, Japanese scissors to hairdressers, cool boy, trouser Weiss is saying: hello, hey Charles you'll be happy to know that We'Re using some gold hole product today, my favorite globalmedic, our friends at Google cow, sent me some curly twists, so I've been using it as my cutting lotion and then, when I'm finished, with the shape, I'm gon na use some curly twist curls splash, it's a curl Gel we're gon na let her dry in a beautiful sunshine here: okay, so coming through the layers in the back over directing slightly forward, but lifting considerably more finding my guideline at the top bias blade on a diagonal, and you can see that short too long. Basically, that face frame from the front has just continued all the way through the haircut until I run out of here to cut right here. So the all these layers you brought off to the side over the ear. Yes, you can decide how much I've over directed them more towards the ear, so they'll be heavier in the middle. I can also walk around the head and get more layering, but since mannequin hair doesn't grow, I'm trying to keep this a little heavier. So literally, people would tend to call this rounded or oval because it kind of drops down like that, which is a beautiful shape for a long hair, especially with the texture. Okay. So I'm gon na do that again now and do it as clearly as I have it. So we've got the outline drop down. That'S what we've been pre-cut. We'Ve got the face faint frame that turned into kind of a graduated or long layered shape. Now we've got this last little always reminds me of Trivial Pursuit, those of you with Gen X. Like me, this little triangle piece that fits in here I'm now going to pivot off the apex, take vertical sections, and I'm going to pick up where I left off here. So this hair I'll just comb it out first, so you can see it see that guideline getting close Kel, so people can see. Sometimes people don't there's a guideline right there, a reference point, so I'm bringing this hair over towards the back of the year, but lifting it more considerably and still unzipping the hair. That'S how I'm able to go from short to long so gracefully, and the good thing about that is the hair, can't really be as long as you want. You can still get some layering in it, so you will you be taking all the hair from this section to the same point, one complete point, but will definitely come towards the front. You know all to one point would just make too heavy of a corner in the back. I believe Nanette is saying she has this exact pair that she bought from way back in the day, and she says that she's paid more than 150 more, like five hundred at that time. You just wanted to get rid of that he's suffering too, and since we're able to buy you know a few hundred pairs at once. You know again, I just thought it would be in the best interest not only of hairbrained, so that we can keep growing and stay in business but of our fellow hairdressers so yeah. You can google that if you go they're still available out there in the world, they're called matsuzaki ax ARS, that's one pair. I sold I'm still being sold in Australia for over 400 dollars. But again you know just trying to pass that on to you guys again. Just doing our best to help everyone - and I just I started noticing hairdressers, especially in some of the states that have already reopened, saying they're using two or three pairs of scissors, just they can get sanitized in between. So I remembered because I've been told about this lot before and I'll be honest. I just it just went in one ear, not the other. I didn't know what this meant. There was like a bunch of rusty scissors, but I remembered it and I asked him he said now I'll send them to you they're in perfect pristine condition, like basically been locked in a in a closet for 30 years. Can this haircut um be used on on people with thin hair yeah? Just I mean really any type of hair cutting technique should be able to be adjusted to any texture. It'S all about how you manage the weight distribution. You know, do you elevate more? Do you elevate less, do you use more tension, less tension? Do you change your cutting angle? You know to me I'm a very simple hair cutter and I only want to know things that I can use on almost anyone, but I also want to know that the weight management is what it's all about. So would they maybe keep my lettering a little bit longer, keep my elevation lower or the opposite, and the name of that scissor again was the matsuzaki that one was the ax are, but there's gon na be probably five or seven there's six different variations. I only have one here because I said please just send me one right away, so I can see what the quality is like and once I got it I was blown away. I mean it was like a brand-new package and help beautifully packaged in the original packaging. Matsuzaki, Japan, when I opened it up, I was like wow, that's exactly like a five-star that I have you know at least it feels like it in terms of the shape. Tara Smith is here and saying hello thanks for being here it's great to have her longtime friends and supporters. You know hope some of you guys are getting back to work safely. Now I think that's important. You know I know, I'm I sell clients in New York, keeping in touch with them through emails and text messages and as soon as it's safe to go back in New York I'll be on a plane to cut hair. So I'm excited I normally go. You know once a month for a week and you know try to do as many of my clients as I can. But it's been two months now so they're missing me, I'm missing them and just like you, you know losing considerable amount of income. Okay, so you can see the basic concept of the shape here: simple shape, face frame, elevate it out to about here and that face frame. If I hold the face for a mere cowl, you can see it Schwarz along and then I've just elevated now, gracefully like so I'm going to switch back to this matsuzaki scissor to do some checking now again, I'm Ashley was wondering. Is there a difference in over directing this cut to holding it at 90 degrees forward? You know the longer it's gon na be in the back. That would be the main difference, and if you also, if you'll notice, this hair was combed away from the apex instead of over the top of the head, if you comb this over the top of the head and turn more into a shag, you know. So this is a long layer. It'S got a lot of layers to it, but it's I don't think anyone would start to think of it as a shag. But if I used exactly the same technique, click home to over the top of the head, rather than down it away, it would really be almost exactly like a very popular shag that we're looking at nowadays checking with the scissor. Looking from the longest point working my way and then sealing and cleaning the ends, we shouldn't have to be a lot to come off here. Just err: cutting gently we're gon na curl, the twist again to prep that hair and then we'll do some outside. I think I'm going to do one more type of weight, removal with the razor and then I'll basically have my shape done so simple, but you know what I always say: simple is not easy. So what I did here is simple or not. For me, that's my favorite kind of haircutting, simple haircutting. That can be done extremely well doing it perfectly getting perfect balance. Perfect texture! That'S what it's all about to me. I think I'll. Sometimes I want to be complicated or we made. We call an advanced or creative haircutting. I tend to do a lot more of that with the scissor or the shear I feel like. I can create that kind of look where a razor for me is a beautiful commercial, and you know I have to say for me: it can be fast. I can raise her in classic shapes with the razor. For me, I do probably half the amount of time. So what you're doing now you're going through your sections that you've already done in the same matter and just that's correct, you're sealing the ends of the hair here. So it's not necessarily a cross-check you're, just going through the exact same here, because the softness and looseness of the angle, I could crush it. If I wanted to cross-check this to the front had come through vertically like this, I bring this hair up and forward and I'd look now, I'm checking in it quite a high elevation prepared to where it was originally cut. So I want to really not change anything, but this would be more true cross checking for this. I bring it up towards the center and check and you can see that this shape is there. If you know, if you don't really understand it, 100 % cross checking, this can get a little bit sketchy. So if I sense a few little extra pieces there - and I won't even really cross check into here - because one false move and I'm going to change this into not a great haircut too much mullet II cross checking in the back. I can come through like this lift this up. I should have a little bit of a corner in the middle, so this will give me the opportunity to round through that corner and that corner is there, because, if what were directing away from the center bring forward to bring this up tons of support, you are Lots of love coming in from Lisa and Annette Lauri Ashley has been here with us thanks. Everyone appreciate if you've been with us from the beginning. Here I mentioned that you know. I'Ve been one of the silver linings of this. Quarantine has been I've able to spend time, DJing mixing music. Again, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has rediscovered a hobby or a passion that they didn't have time for and if you found a way to share with people online. You know, because it's it's really helped me to be able to do it. It'S kind of therapeutic and away so I've seen some people that are cooking doing their own cooking shows painting shows all kinds of cool stuff: okay, wetting down one more time with curly twist nice light kind of curl priming spray, I'm going to do one last technique With the razor I like to call this backhand raise rate and it's a way to elevate and get a little bit more separation into the hair sections or a little thicker, because I want to lose too much weight when I'm doing this. So, having a little bit of a thicker section and less sections more so than thicker is the KD two or three sections here in the crown now Krista was wondering she loves his haircut totally awesome. What would be the difference if she wanted to keep the length extra long, no difference? The difference is when you're unzipping you just unzipped longer to get to the length. So that's the beautiful beauty of doing something like this with the razor is that there is a lot of flexibility as you're cutting you just keep unzipping for longer. You can work out the length to be to the floor so here just about five sections to on top of the years three in the crown and if you watch my hand, I just turn the razor around backwards and come in and just literally slice through some Of this weight just lightly finish a little bit of the curl splash hydrated curl John from our friends at Coldwell, nice consistency. That'S why I was looking forward to curl gel it's like a little bit truly like jelly. It'S not super wet! In this case. I'M going to work this through right now and we're going to put Irene. This is a beautiful Irene from our friends at pivot point. I also want to thank them for continuing to support hair grains and I'm excited that later this week, I'll be starting a special program. They'Ve got obviously cosmetology students all over the country all over the world, and a lot of them are doing social distance learning or whatever we're calling it. I think that's the term right learning from home, one has its own platform Learning Lab, and I'm going to be myself and some of my friends in the industry we're going to be doing an hour a week for those students around the world of a feeling that Might go a little longer than an hour because once we start talking to them - and I think it's more important than ever - to nurture and connect the future professionals, because I think a lot of them are worried and to a certain degree they should be. But what I always believe is the cream rises to the top. So if they're prepared to be the best in the industry, there's going to be, you know what I said. The pivot point is I'm going to help train these kids so when they graduate and they go into a salon either as an assistant or a junior stylist, that they're able to make money for themselves and the salon right away. Because that's what people are going to be looking for, you know, so we put together a program to help to share that. Okay, so squeezing that in here now again I could diffuse drawing here, but I'm not going to it's not very fun to watch someone stand with a blow-dryer for 20-25 minutes, I'm going to let this dry naturally I'll. Put up some pictures and some finished looks on my own Instagram, which is George carpe, see and Instagram. I'Ve got plenty of videos there as well. On my agency vein, I want to thank you for joining us and I'll. Let guys know about the matsutakes real soon.
