Long Hair Shag. 80'S Haircut . Shag Me Baby

Hey everyone welcome to my channel. I am summer, I'm so excited for today's video a few weeks ago, a month ago, whatever I did a fun shag haircut tutorial and I thought it would be fun to show you how I like to kind of tweak things when going from long to shorter hair. I had mentioned that in that video on whether or not that's something you guys wanted to see, and a few of you answered in the comments saying yes, so I'm just gon na get her shampooed and that way I can get her sectioned off and we'll get Right into the haircut okay, so now that we have her sectioned off we're going to start with our cutting, so she already has sort of a curtain bang formed. So one thing I did in the original shag haircut was. I showed you guys how I created that curtain bang, so you can feel free to check out that video I'll post the time stamp to where I start that in the description below. If you want to check it out - and it was a little bit shorter than where this curtain bang is so, I'm gon na keep the curtain bang where it's at and we're just gon na use that as our guide for basing off the rest of this haircut And then again, because this hair is longer, I'm going to show you how I sort of cut some of the hair out of the way first, just because I'm working with extra long, hair or extra thick long hair, it can be a little annoying. So sometimes I will remove a bulk of it beforehand, just to make my life easier. So with this haircut I'm doing the same thing, I'm going to be bringing all of this hair forward and meeting it to my guide. So we've got all this extra length down here that is going to be cut so to make it a little easier for me to work with I'm just simply going to comb everything forward, and I can see where my guide is here. So we are literally removing quite a bit of length, but I don't want to just come in and cut that dead on. I like to leave a little bit of hair to work with so we're pulling down. I see my guide there and I'm just gon na come straight across the bottom and cut removing all that extra length. Again, you can adjust more but um to be on the safe side. Leave it a little longer at first just in case, if you accidentally cut too short or something so we're going to come in and take our first guide so, like I said, we've already got that curtain bang form that we're using as our guide to match up. So it's going to cut into a lot more hair around the face to give it sort of that, like Shaggy, really heavy face, framed, look and we are going to start cutting so we're gon na pull straight out towards us, normally you're standing in front of the Client, if you're doing this in Salon or at home, I'm obviously standing a little off to the side, so you guys can see and we're just gon na start evening out to this guide here we're creating a little bit of an angle. Here, I'm not coming straight down with it, I'm pulling out just a little bit and point cutting into where that guide is. So you can do this haircut too, with a razor if you're comfortable with that um I like to raise her at my ends. To just add that extra texture, I have never been one to do my full haircut with a razor personally, so, if you're comfortable with a razor by all means, this is the perfect haircut to use a razor and then because I don't use a razor, I'm just Going to come in and do some light Point cutting after I cut each section just to keep it nice and soft. So next section I'm doing about a quarter to a half an inch clipping the hair out of the way we're combing down and I'm going to even take a little bit of this middle section. Just so, I've got better control of seeing my guide and point cut into that. Taking our next section again create a little bit of elevation by pulling out and cut so, like I said in that original shag, I did, it is a much shorter Bang um. This is where I'm playing off of what she already had that curtain bang, but it's really going to shape up and face frame around her face a little bit more. Creating more of that lived in look but she's got a little longer of a bang and again you're, coming all the way to your front section here and continuing to pull that hair forward and then we're going to move into our sides in just a second foreign. Now that we have the front piece come, you can stand again directly in front of your client, I'm at this weird angle, but you would bring it to the middle to make sure they're lining up, and then I'm just going to slightly point cut into this. On the ends to soften it up a little bit and then I'm gon na of course go through and do a ton of dry cutting. If you've watched any of my videos, you know I love the dry cutting so now that we have the front section done. What we're going to do is we're going to come into our sides and you can start with whichever side you prefer. Okay, so to take our first side section, we're just gon na come right along the face, take a small section. So that way, you keep control and can see your guide and again. If you want to come in and remove some of this length, you certainly can because look at how much we're going to be bringing up in the front we're going to be pulling this out and you've got all that extra hair that you can choose to cut Off especially, I find if the hair is finer, it's easier to work with. I feel like when somebody has super crazy, thick hair, which this type of haircut is ideal, for it's easier to remove some length. It just makes it less that you got ta work through. So before I take my section actually I'm going to bring everything forward and I'm not going to cut straight across, like I did in this front, because I am going to do a slight angling around the face. So I'm just going to bring this down come down and just angle. Okay, so just come in angle down a little bit removing some of that length. So that way, you have a little bit less hair that you've got to work through and then again we're just going to take our section right along the hairline clip the rest of this hair back out of the way and we're gon na cut so again, you're Going to be standing directly in front of your client and you're going to be bringing everything towards you and where, in the front here, I was going straight across. I'M just going to very, very slightly angle, my hands because I want to create a natural flow falling down. So it's not such a hard blunt line, especially around the corner. Here I feel like if you go straight across it just gets a little too. I don't know I don't like the way that it looks honestly. So I like to angle my hands just a little bit. Okay, so we're going to take our first section and you're going to slightly angle your fingers down and you can even kind of pull a little towards you to ensure you're. Creating that angle and point cut into that so again pulling towards you keep those hands at a little bit of an angle and cut. So again, this haircut is going to be removing a ton of length right around the face to get that nice, Shaggy look and now we're just going to take our next section foreign. So come at the top of your section again, pull over and lightly towards you. While angling your hands, so as you move further back on your section on your sides, you're gon na see more length coming in because you're creating that angle and then as we get as we work our way to the back I'll show you how we're going to Blend in the back with the sides coming from the top come forward angle cut and you can even choose to sliver down if you want a little bit as you get towards the last two sections for your sides. Thank you, okay, so and again when you're cutting the sides, you're still going to be standing directly in front of the client. I have her at an angle, so I could cut it a little bit better, but you would be right in front of the client and then we're just going to repeat this same exact steps on this other side. Again, I'm going to come in and remove just a little bit of length for each section just so it makes it a little easier to work with again I'm going to angle my hands down just a little bit here and come up from the bottom of your Section and cut into it - and I am using the fine side of my comb to take my section down into cutting again comb everything from the top towards you and we're curving our hands just a little bit here, foreign moving to the back, I'm just going to Check my sides so again, you would stand directly in front of your client, pull everything towards the center and cut where you need. Okay, so now that we have our front done, we're going to move into the back and what I'm going to do. First is figure out where I want to blend in her sides, so one of the biggest things with the difference between this and the other one I did the other one. I was trying to leave the length in the back this one. I am fine with losing it and matching it up. We'Re still going to have some length here kind of in this little middle area. This is going to look a lot more Shaggy mullet-esque is how I like to describe it. So what I'm going to do to blend in the sides is I'm just going to part it right down the middle in the back, push that hair forward and again it doesn't really matter which side you start with to blend in okay. So I'm just going to clip this hair because there's a lot of length and I'm going to spin her to the side. What we're going to do is we're going to take small sections from the back at a time and bring it forward and just match up with your front sides. So again, you can use a razor for this, your regular scissors, whatever you're comfortable with okay. So we have our guide is right here. So I'm just going to angle my fingers, I'm going to take my shears and literally just sliver down and cut enough as I go so next section client side of your comb down with it meet where your last section was and sliver down and again you can Use a razor if you want for this, whatever you're comfortable with and you're just going to keep taking your sections from the back until you have reached your middle and then repeat on the other side, foreign. I see my guide here sliver and then I like to just sort of bring the hair down along the sides. I don't like to really stand in front of the client to do it or behind them. I just find coming right in at their shoulder. Is the easiest way to blend just my God and then sometimes like I did on the other side I'll come in with my Razor and just lightly, raise her down to soften it. Give me that good reaction, all right and now we are going to cut our back layers, okay, so to come in and cut our back layers. What I'm going to do is take my first section to set my guide so right in the middle of the head. Push that hair forward, okay, so to set your guide for your back layers, you're going to take from your top layer for your front, we're going to pull it straight up and take a guide from our back layer here and we're coming. What you're going to do is you're going to pull out straight from the roundness of the head, so each section as you go down the head you're going to be coming straight out: 90 degrees from the roundness of the head, so we're coming up. There'S my guide cut drop that front section. Take your next guide coming out from the roundness of the head; cut drop your top guide and you're just going to repeat the same pattern, all the way down the head, and it just creates a nice shape. As you move down with getting a lot of layers and working your way down to your length again, as you work your way down, you're going to change your angle a little bit because you want to come out from where that head is rounding. So we have a little bit of a curve going here, so I'm not coming straight up or straight out, I'm coming out from the roundness of the head. As I work my way down to my length, I'm going to angle my hands a little bit to start from the longest point and work my way into the shortest point angle. My scissors, I should say now we're at the bottom here so we're angling with the roundness coming down and cut. So after I get all these layers cut. What I'll do is refine the length if I need to, and we're just going to do this same exact pattern all through the head. So I'm going to take my next guide here, keeping the rest of this hair clipped out of the way, and I'm going to take a little from this middle guide to make my guide as I round on each side of the head. Thank you, foreign. To make sure you're taking guides that you can easily see through it makes it much easier and keeps it much more Blended. It'S coming all the way down to that very bottom length and just lightly cutting off that little bit on top foreign for right here. In the corner, at the ear gon na match up do the same thing: we've been doing for this whole back side foreign, it a little bit because she's gotten a little dry on me back to that middle guide. To create the guide for this last half. I didn't go over enough foreign, thank you, foreign and again we're pulling out from the roundness of the head clip out that top section of your layer. If you need to, if you find it to be easier and then again small enough sections that you can easily see your guide, thank you and then we're finishing right off here right in this corner by her ear, I'm gon na do the same steps, bring everything Up and cut with the roundness of the head: Okay, so we've got her cut everywhere and before I start my blow dry, I'm gon na opt to go in and just do a little bit of Razor work now, just to create a little bit more softness on Those ends and to get it a little bit more piecy, so the blow dry aspect you'll be able to see a little bit more movement with it. And if your client has a ton of hair and you're going to texturize them, it's better sometimes to do it when it's wet, because it's less hair you have to blow dry. So I'm just going to separate her um, nothing crazy, just starting from the back and working my way up, and this is totally optional - all personal preference, I'm just doing it this way to kind of create a little bit more pieciness, so she's lining actually up pretty Well back here, it looks like from angling the sides the hardest part - I would say, with this haircut - is blending in the sides to the back to match the length. This kind of creates a little bit of that v-shape um, which, if I'm being honest, isn't like my preferred favorite haircut. Look but a lot of people love it, and it really goes well with this type of cut when you're getting that super face. Framing lived in shagged pieces in the front, but you want to leave the length in the back. That'S where the v-cut comes in handy also, again, I'm just at random doing a little bit of Razor work. Nothing crazy! I'M just going very gentle with it! I'M not trying to really remove any length, just soften it up in some spots, foreign to know, if you guys can leave a comment below. What'S your preferred scissor method, you like or cutting method, I should say: do you like cutting with standard shears for most of your haircuts? Like I Do, Do You Love a razor? Let me know in the comments below what you guys prefer as far as cutting with this type of haircut, specifically too okay. So now I'm just gon na go ahead and get her styled and then we'll check everything I'll show you guys how I like to go and cross check things see if we need to remove any length back here and then we'll get finished up. Okay, so I have got her styled and she definitely needs a little bit of texturizing, especially in this bang area. I love this haircut, it's so fun to do and I wish more clients wanted this, but so let me turn her here. She'S got a lot of layers, obviously all around her face, but her bangs are just a little too heavy looking for me, but I want to show you the back too, before I cut into it. So we've still got length down here, so you do have that length and then lots of movement lots of texture. I want to texturize into this little top part, some more and maybe just in the middle, either with my thinning, shears or a razor and then from the side. You really see the mullet Vibes, but I love it. So this cut is especially fun too, because when somebody pulls their hair up, they're going to have those nice pieces falling along their face. So these we want to whisp up a little bit more. So I'm just going to go through do a lot of texturizing with my Razor and my thinning shears and maybe cut a little bit more layer in this middle section, we'll see so again, her bangs are just heavy. So I'm just going to come in with my Razor and I'm not putting a lot of pressure just enough to take out some of that hair and soften it up. A lot of I feel like this style of cut to get that pieciness and position the layers where you can really see the movement you want to go in with like a I love um, it's from AG, it's called their dry lift paste. I use that all the time, so I will link that below it's good for your first day here second day here it just kind of kicks around the hair, but it has some extra lift to it everywhere and it's got some hold. This side, especially, is really heavy and then her color. If you're interested. I did. I don't even know how, long ago, it's a Halo money piece so all along her hairline, I did foils and a little bit everywhere else just to blend it in and I'll link that video below. If you care to check that out too, to see how I created the color, if you are interested foreign right here in this top layer, I feel like is too bulbous looking for me. If you are checking your sides again, you're just going to stand directly in front of your client and pull everything towards the center to make sure it matches up. And then, if you want to once it's dry kind of look over, I want to cut here a little bit got sidetracked there. If you want to look over where the back length meets the sides, you surely can and you can either go in and sliver down again with your regular shears or with your razor, whatever you prefer, but that's lining up nice. So I did a lot of flips and movements with my blow dry for this and then I think she's good. This is a little thick looking for me, but that is mostly for some reason. They make mannequins hairline so freaking thick, and I just don't understand why and it pops out to the side, but I'm going to leave that I'll I'll. Do it just a little bit it's driving me nuts, when you can also for checking the back again, you would stand behind their head and pull everything towards the center to make sure everything is lining up nice but she's. Looking good I'm going to go ahead and put in a little bit of that dry lift paste, so you guys can see what it looks like styled and then we'll get settled here, all right! Everyone here we have our finish and final look again. I used AGS dry, lift paste to go through and give her some texture and pieciness with the product product is key with creating that lived in. Look after you have it dried and styled. She looks very similar to the original shag that I did. However, we've got a little bit longer of a curtain bang, but we went in and removed a ton of length that we originally had really cutting into those sides for a lot of movement, and we have a little bit more of a disconnect between the front and The back with tons of movement and layers everywhere with a nice slight v-shape I like to do regular scissors when cutting the bulk of this haircut and using my Razor to go in and add some texture and pieciness. You can certainly do the whole entire haircut with a razor. If you are comfortable with that, and let me know in the comments below what is your preferred method for cutting? Do you like the regular sheer or do you like the razor again, you can go ahead and remove a little bit of length like I did when I was cutting her sides if they have very, very long, hair and they're taking the length a lot shorter in The front obviously leave it a little bit longer at first, so you have more room to play around with, but I like doing that, especially on thicker, coarse hair types, I feel like it's just easier to work through the hair, so I hope you guys enjoyed this Week'S video, please ask any questions that you may have in the comments below I love talking to you guys.
