Hi, Sam via here you know, I'm not a colorist, but I have to tell you how much I enjoy watching all these Redken colorist come up with these great ideas. I know one of the techniques that's become popular in the beginning, it was known as a trend. Now it's become a technique, that's called ombre and what we mean by Arm Braley's from what cut what I understand colorist. It leads from dark to light. Now, let's take that to the design to the cutting world, when you think about that you're thinking about okay from dark to light, when I see dark color, I think of it to be really really heavy to have a lot of density, and then it leads to Some lightness some airiness. Imagine this. My friends. Allow me to introduce you to ombre layers. That'S right. You heard it here. First ombre layers follow me over to the trip chart and, let's show you the concept of flip of triangles in terms of what we mean by that and how it works. Let'S take a look at on a flip chart. Okay in the past, I've talked to you about triangles in terms of when you cut triangles, and you take a triangle section, you have a lot more width to a narrow section. If we cut this - and I elevated this up, can you see it's getting short too long? Yet because it's the triangle, does this you're having less massive hair long a little bit more airiness if you will ombre layers now, if we flip this over, what happens is you're getting less massive hair is getting shorter. More massive hair is getting wider. So the idea on this is this: wouldn't fit the ombre technique. So the idea would be this. Imagine this what if we did this you elevate this up, so this comes up and you're elevating this up notice. What I said you take it section by section as you come up, here's what's happening, you get. Each hair is coming up to that elevated position and you can start to see because of this you're, going to start to get an angle on this now. What happens? Is when this collapses? What'S very interesting, is you're going to get this kind of feeling to it you're going to have degrees of links that do this. Let me give it to you in a different color here, give it to you in red. So you can see this so what happens you having degrees of length that are short? Okay, but as you move down, look what's happening, it's getting lighter down here and a lot airier down there. So here's your ombre layers, more density, leading to a degree of lightness to that. So, what's really critical to know is how do you go about and do that well what's interesting? Is I really believe that two heads are better than one when you tend to think about it when you're talking about this two heads better than one who better than our education director? Who, I know you all love, please welcome Andrew Carruthers hi guys how you doing brother all right, my friend, let's talk about this Andrew because we were kind of in the back room and we were talking about what we wanted to do on this particular journey. In terms of our little hot tips and things for each other, but mostly for our viewers, when we talk about this, I really like the way that we kind of related this to color yeah, and you had a great idea in terms of what lunch you step Over here and I'm gon na grab you exactly what you did for me and how we talked about this. What I did was, I told Andrew, I said Andrew I've got an idea, ombre layers and Andrew just kind of looked at me. He said what do you mean? I started talking about color, so he said well, let me get a better visual on that. So we thought why don't we pretend we're colorist, so we're gon na take a foil and a brush. I'M gon na hold the hair for Andrew and we're simply taking a horizontal section within that nape area. I'M gon na hold this top hair and Andrews gon na talk to you about the concept of this. In terms of where the idea comes from, remember we were talking about colorist, so here's a foil, okay, so say what takes place first, Andrew here's. The thing is, you forget, I am the colorist as well. Oh, that's right! I don't Mike! Oh that's right! I knew that you are a colors, you know the joke at RIKEN is Sam, don't color, hair your color boy, I'm not actually colorblind, it's just for colors, just not one of my forte as skillset. I stay away from all right talk to me, Andrew alright. So one of the cool things that someone showed me one time is: they did exactly what you're talking about. They were working in triangle sections and what they showed me was you take these triangle sections and you lay them into the foil and what you did. Let'S imagine her hair stops here, because she's got great long hair. What you did is, you would actually paint the edges down into the bait down into the ends, paint the edges down into the ends, and then you would actually come across and paint your ends then, and just feather them together. But it was this kind of v-shaped action that built a little bit of feathering down into the brightness in the ends. So as soon as you said, ombre color I was like whoa. I got an idea for a layers. Yes, okay, let's take a look at it. Let'S talk about that, so what what tool would you use Andrew, creating this? So the tool, I think, is really important, because it's really gon na adjust how much hair actually comes out of the head right? Sam, yes, and what I'm gon na use is the essential series, blending shear and there's a really specific point of difference when it comes to these two different shears with the Signature Series, you are gon na, remove more hair you're gon na take about 40 % out Per cut part of its the spacing on the actual teeth, part of its also that there's a little v-shape at the top of each tooth that holds onto the hair really firmly with the essential shears. We don't have the v-shape at the top. So a little bit more hairs allowed to slip between the teeth and there's a wider spacing on the teeth. So this is gon na give you a very soft removal of weight and, as we talked about ombre, what's really cool about, it is yeah. You have that density at the base and then the lightness in the ends. What we know too, is that there's also a transition point right. Yes, so it's not like. We just have light here and dark there mm-hmm, so we're taking a triangle section and begin with, and our width is at the top of the triangles on ombre layers are pointed down exactly awesome Glee, so we thought well, let's do the exact same thing. We would paint with the paintbrush we're going to paint with our blending shears in it, so we're gon na come down these edges and we're just gon na work down into the very ends of the hair. We'Re gon na come on this side, then make sure the teeth are faced in the direction that you want to influence the hair. We want to influence the hair into the head shape, so we're gon na make sure teeth are facing down we're gon na come above and just paint down these edges. Now what I noticed Andrews seems to me, like you're, cutting your the you're, probably going deeper in here, to get it more degree of shortness and maybe not in as deep here. Would that be correct in saying that yeah, because we want to create those little short bits that lead down into the lightness on the ends? Awesome great so seems to me that this would also give it a little bit more pliability, absolutely because you're creating lightness and you're leaving density. So we still have a lot of density here, especially because the base of our triangles under here. So we have a very thick area through this Center now, as we come down to these ends, what we're gon na do we're gon na comb, some of that loose hair out we're gon na come down to the ends and now we're gon na softly just paint Through those ends beautiful so now, what we've created is an area of lightness as it comes down into the ends. We'Ve left the density at the base created some transition points and then lightness through the ends. What I love about this, my friends, it seems that we could use this on someone that has this really silky silky, hair, Andrew and what they do is they complain that they've got no movement. It has it just a really kind of sits close to the head. This to me would tend to give it a little bit more pliability a little bit more movement also tends. I tend to believe that a set would hold a little bit better. Was this yeah and especially where you have those areas of lightness and then a very specific area of density? That'S a lot of times what we need to create movement, especially in you know, this kind of hair, where there's a lot of it, but very small, fine strands of hair. You have to create those spaces and in density, space and density. If I thinned this whole thing on the bottom, there'd be no texture yeah, it just look thin and wispy. Okay, great! Let'S take it a step further. Now, when we want to do now, let's take another level of section here and we'll spot. What we're gon na do is we're gon na isolate our triangles in the middle area now Sam. Where would we do this? You could do this throughout the entire head, so I find these ombre layers are a great way to another way to go in to layer hair. But remember we've been talking about discipline now we're getting back into discipline, so let's go and take another way. How would we do right? Remember the width of the triangles at the top, so I'm going to go from the center and then I'm just gon na come out go diagonal forward. Then I'm gon na stay away from that hairline. So I want to maintain some weight at that hairline remember this: is the house same concept of detaching? So now, if we take a look at this, you can start to see how we have triangle pointed down and the width on top this time. What we're gon na do is we're going to go through and we're going to take a blunt shear we're gon na work with a blunt shear. Now as we come through, I want you to just keep your elevation low. This is much more of a visual exercise when working with this we're going to come in and determine where you want to cut this look for that hair bends and that shine line is so I'm going to start here here now. Look what I'm doing guys! What I want you to do is the steeper. This is the softer the edge, the more you go in at a diagonal, stronger, the diagonal or the more horizontal, the more chunky you're gon na get. Now I might do that if it's natural, curly hair sure I think it would be great if I want to have if I have natural curly hair and I want to take out some weight so we're gon na go because this is really silky and clean. We'Re gon na go more at a steeper diagonal now watch what I'm gon na do. Oh I'm simply gon na do is talk through that and notice. How I talk, talk, talk and just walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk now, look at where I'm at in terms of that! So let's comb through that and you can just start to see how we're taking out some hair, let's come through once again. Looking for that shine line where that see that shine line come right through talk, talk, look at the same angle. Talk talk talk, so it's almost Andrew. What I'm doing is I'm sketchy in a triangle into it. So look at the density that you have on top. As Andrew was saying it's saying earlier and now look at this sense of lightness that I have and now when I tickle this, you can just start to see how we're getting a really nice soft layering, really cool man go in and do it with really something That has one length hair that just wants to have a sense of movement. Now, remember we see this more kind of. You could really apply this into a tech into a haircut itself. Yes, yet I see this more in terms of extracting wait, these ombre layers giving it a sense of bagginess - and I noticed these girls are getting high ways pants, but these pants have a high waist, but they're baggy they're wider. So I want this this hair to move as this girl walks. Okay, another glance again, another triangle: we're going to come through. Remember, keeping the sheer nice ins steep in terms of your diagonal talk your way down. Okay and remember: we want these ends nice and light. So I'm gon na stop not all the way to the ends. Now I come through check your where you're at in terms of your shine line and what you're working with so we couldn't come through. Just looking for my shine line, there's my shine line, I'm gon na place my shear on the shine line and I'm just gon na walk that through and now look how how aggressive you get is how aggressive you are in terms of closing your thumb and now Look at the airing the sense of lightness and airiness. Now, let's just tickle this and root, now look at the hall, let me see, but I'm excited for there check it out watch this watch me tickle at Andrew, come to underneath look at that! Look at that move, so I mean it's just beautiful in terms of that work. So now, let's take a look at the top. How could we apply this to the top? Okay? Let'S divide this in half divide that in half I'll hand that one to you brother, alright, so what I want to do is I want to take a triangle here: notice how you just take the triangle. Okay, some of this hair is one length. The idea is, we want to have movement sometimes when something is so one length, there's no movement to it. Okay, so now I've got my width on the top. I come back through and now I've got my triangle. So once again, I find myself Andrew dropping this out at the hairline I'll get our triangle. There is our triangle section, alright Angie's, going to switch sides with me, brother, alright, hold on to that now watch what I'm gon na do. I'M gon na get back into the idea of really starting to swell shapes again, so I'm gon na come through. I'M gon na bring the shape way over to the opposite side now. So this is a technique called swelling. I'M gon na bring that over determine where you want your link to fall so before you cut Sam, something Andrew look. How I hold on to this and I'll see if I cut that war is that gon na fall, but now where's the degree of shortness. The degree of shortness, from the top view, take a look at this. This hair here is only traveling to that position, so you can see the hair closest to the top crown areas getting shorter. The hair underneath is getting long longer. So, let's bring this up and over when we cut these long layers, because we want a nice soft edge, we're gon na come in and I'm just going to really lay it down with gravity and Jude. I'M gon na just really point cut. Try to keep the shear as vertical as you can, and now the sense of tension on my graduation is nice and loose so come through going very, very deep and just softly. Don'T drop this section notice how I comb from underneath I come through and I soften soften soften soften really. Just look at my degree of softness now watch this when I release this and you this is moving from short to long and once again we being able to create a sense of density on one side. Let'S come through this right here and now watch what happens guys. This was purely one length hair, but now look what happens when we start to move that you can just see it has a little bit more visual texture to them. Okay, let's move to the opposite side; now: okay, same thing: Andrew: we come over here, so here's what I love like! I was talking to you earlier about the idea of Andrew and I working together, my friends, there's no value in the breakroom. Okay, you've got a team that you work with in the break room grab, a mannequin didn't do what Andrew and I do we play with mannequins. We talk about things. We'D, sketch things out take a dry erase marker sketch it out on the salon floor on the mirror, clients are gon na, go what are they doing over there? We'Ve got to create a movement in the salons. You'Ve got to create a sense of enthusiasm in the salons now back to the technique. How do we get our guide sand here? Okay, member discipline and balance take a section of what you cut here on the top area. Look for that degree of shortness. Take that degree of shortness bring it up and over it once again to me allowing to collapse in my hand. So we allow that to collapse in the hand notice how it's straight and how the shears go vertical into that section. So we keep them, go nice and vertical. I don't know about you Andrew, but what happens when I turn these shears diagonal to this section. What do you think? What do we thinks gon na happen on that? Well, you're gon na create more of a peak and valleys sort of texture. Not such a soft wispy type. Okay, actually great, then Andrews got it nailed it. We want to really create this nice and soft texture on top. We release this now, let's take a look and see what happens so it's a really good way to say. If a client says to you, I want sense of volume. My hair is just too much solid one length. How do I go in and get a little bit more sense of movement to that? So when we tickle the Hat, you just get this sense of movement. I don't know about you brother, but I got some goosebumps on this one. I love it anything you want to add to this brother in terms of what we see on this. Well, I think, what's cool is we have three different techniques there that all can be adapted for different hair, textures and also different end results and even using those v-shaped patterns versus what you did here was just use your elevation. Yes, to create the diffusion. It wasn't. You coming in and sliding down the edges of the triangle. It was the elevation that created your element of softness and the diffusion that you get similar to ombre color. I love what you just said in terms of sliding we went away from sliding getting back into integrity of this business. Being blunt shape, blunt blunt, blunt edges for the sake of integrity and taking good care of the hair. Once again, my good buddy and education director Andrew Carruthers, we care about you. So do me a favor stand by that chair behind that chair with a sense of enthusiasm, do and say things a little bit differently and think differently. Just like Andrew - and I are just for you thanks for watching - take care.
Comments
RB. Wilson: This is such an awesome technique!! I have her hair type exactly and this is what I keep trying to get my stylist to do to mine but my layers always come out very dense and chunky :( This is such a lovely cut!
Joelle Bahm: I loved this video! I find there are people who love that blunt cut but lately I’ve been asked for more layers to take out some bulk and add some movement so this was a great way to think differently and use a new technique. Thank you!
bookwrm4evr: this was an amazing technique! I would love to have that done on my naturally curly hair..the funny thing is I honestly thought about this once I just had no idea as to how it could be done, but I do now thanks to you guys and your talent! inspiring as always thank you for sharing 8)
Holly Markert: Wonderful video. Thank you so much helping me become a more confident and inspired haircutter Sam and Andrew. I appreciate your commitment to elevating our industry by sharing knowledge with one another.
Cindy Herget: So awesome this is the first one I've commented on.... love these techniques! I'm a pure amateur! I've been cutting my own hair since 1982 or so. I have truly naturally curly hair... it can't be cut like a hack job. Although once in a while I will go to a friend to get a al over cut... 1/4" cut mistake shows up like 3-4" mess up. Women always want what they don't have.... I was the little girl that wanted long blonde straight hair like my sister, she always wanted perms. I got addicted to the flat iron for about a year.... I'm back to letting it be curly. My straight hair freaked out my dad. I love my daughter's long blonde princess hair. But she's now 14 and needs a bigger girl style. I'm collecting style ideas. I'll be cutting it this time. I'm so excited to have been learning this triangle and softening layers technique and the last component of this video. I find it easier to do a short men's hair cut with clippers scissors and a comb (I can't stand using the guards that come with electric clippers). Any way... thanks Sam for the videos.
Metvra: It was amazing seeing both of you educating together and hearing how you guys put your knowledge together to create a new techniques. I'm currently in beauty school and your videos I feel are my own private classes. Thank you again. I can't wait to practice this.
Cindy Riley: Sam is an awesome teacher. I use his techniques all the time. Clients love them and the achieved cut.
Buffy Mullenix: So after watching this amazing technique, I utilized on three guests over the weekend with fabulous results. I did however use a razor instead of thinning/ texturing shears (I've been a licensed Coz for 12 years now and yet the shears I was given in school were bent, I never spoke up, therefore never learned how to use thinning shears. Instead I asked a barber and a coz instructor to teach me how to use a razor and have done everything under the sun with it!!!) Thank you for showing an alternative method for more of an ethereal shape, more organic movement, and just fun all around. My three guests felt excited to be able to try something new and be some of the first to experience this! Great results, incredibly happy guests, and to a more volume!
Ashley Morris: I love this hc.. i have been a professional stylist for 15 yrs and think that this is super fun... I love how they explain what they are doing because when they tell me why, I can be inspired to use that technique in other creative cuts. I believe that certain style and techniques have a time and a place but all are beneficial to learn. I am a little unsettled in the negative feed back to be honest. Thank you sam and Andrew for this tutorial... I will be using this soon hopefully.✌✂
Sarah Hornstein: I loved the video! Having both you & Andrew there definitely adds another layer of thought. Totally excited to try this out!
Elizabeth Lapenta: These are great techniques! I'm going to try the last one (swelling) with the triangle section and over-directing and the feathering on the ends on my clients! Looks so good!
Nadia Ray: i was skeptical of this technique when the video first started but after hearing Sam and Andrew really explain how this can be used in the salon to give one length hair a little bit of movement, i love it. with the way they did it, it's nowhere near enough to make the hair look damaged like a lot of these other comments are saying. you just have to know what kind of client and hair type to use this technique on. thanks Sam!
samia chy: It was really nice to watch both of you teach us something new together... both your passion really shines through :) Thanks
MonkiePants: Absolute hair geniuses. Love those techniques, can't wait to try them!
Melissa Lynch: this is amazing! i love this technique on removing weight for women who don't want layers but want more movement, way to go guys!
Jas C: This is the exact technique I need for my hair! Too bad I just chopped the length off to chin length recently because of yet another botched up layering job that had to be fixed. I love having length by my hair is so thick that without layers it just looks too heavy. I'll have to show this to the one stylist I trust with my hair (she may work at supercuts but she gives me better haircuts than anyone at the pricey salon my friend talked me into trying) when my hair grows out and see what magic she can do.
Sumei Krause: Hi Sam, I have been watching your hair techniques. this is really unique skill for density long hair. I taught students at cosmetology school and share with students. they love it. thanks
Katarzyna Kujawa: On June I used this technique to cut my friend's hair and she had so much movement in the hair , I just love this technique thank you for sharing it with us :)
heyyynancyyy: I have always been a better colorist than a cutter, your videos have helped me so much! Thank you for making them available to watch online
Royalblue Londonlee: Sam you are my hero! I love what you do and everything you represent! This is great information for all Cosmetologists! Thank you Sam and Andrew!
Mary Hansen: As a long time proponent of invisible layers, I am happy to learn about overdirecting triangular shapes taken in the crown to achieve this lovely softness that celebrates the movement of hair rather than just a haircut. These two techniques are great to have in your pocket to be used liberally or in moderation depending on how light or heavy you want the ends. Dry cuts are my favorite approach as well! No surprises! An added bonus I enjoyed in this production was closing my eyes and seeing Drew Scott (Property Brothers Twin) chatting and cutting hair with Sam Villa. Andrew Corruthers' voice is an audio doppelganger for the HGTV celeb! Thank you for the ideas and inspiration!
alena: Sam you are awesome! I love your techniques on every video, thanks for sharing with us
Candace Roberts: Thank you Sam for all the great videos .I have learned so much and you have really lit my creative fire again .I can not wait to go to work and try this technique out on one of my guest !!!!
Yvonne Cooker: I like this idea, I've been hairdressing for 43 years & always looking for new ideas. Great for customers that just want some movement & not layers. Thank you.
Anne Gram: Thank you for inspiring new thoughts and ideas . Change is imperative in our industry or we don’t grow ! Love it !
Bee Classy: Brilliant tutorship! I'll have to rewatch this before I even touch the sheers, but at least I understand the triangle concept to create lightness and movement. The tricky part will be sectioning my own hair using double mirrors for those center back strands, I foresee I'll need lots of patience and a steady hand, and hopefully I won't end up cross eyed or chop holes in my hair. I should probably practice on a wig first time.
Ryen Maulsby: Hello I was wondering how I could do this on my own hair. When I went into the hairdresser I asked for layers like this one picture that had layers at different lengths around the head, but instead I got my hair chopped into two different lengths long and short like a half bowl cut. So I have decided to take matters into my own hands. I have never done my own hair cut (or anyone's haircut for that matter), but I am very artistically capable and would like to know the placement I should but these layers on my head. I like this ombré layering technique because it sounds like it can give my hair movement while being able to keep it long and not weighed down. Also I will be able to control what lengths I want each layer. My hair is fine in texture but there is a lot of it, and if I scrunch it after the shower it is curly but it is easily blow dried silky straight. If you need pictures of my hair and the haircut that I wanted to emulate, I could send them via email, if you could provide an email. Thank you for reading my essay of a comment and I hope your expertise can help!
Glam Seamless: Love it! This is what we used to learn how to cut our Glam Seamless ombre hair extensions.
Faye Brown: Loved the video! Thanks for sharing the ombre layered cut.
elly nicole: I wish I could find a hairstylist that knows techniques like these. You can tell that Sam Villa understands hair. I read some of the comments and I can't believe what people write. You can see the difference in before and after, I think these are some awesome techniques he applied and for the model's type of hair they worked perfectly. I think these techniques will work beautiful on a medium lenght bob too.
Mazie Styles: Amazing techniques. Love the versatility. Thank you :)
freedom dove: Thank you very much for the information provided. I think her hair looks nice. :) So is that where you stop cutting? You don't continue on to do the same thing to the sides? I was also wondering if that type of scissor cut makes hair more vulnerable to split ends if the hair is already prone to them. Thanks again.
Monn Vicious: Really awesome, i love coloring hair, but this changes my vision about cutting hair. We are artists, there's no doubt. I enjoy all your vids :3
Michelle Cook: You two are a great team! Great minds think alike. My goal is to get to your level in hair skills. Thanks for sharing!
Merfin & Ruthers: Well there are a lot of junky comments here, I just wanted to say I thought that was pretty cool. Loved the look of the movement the ombre layers created! Would love to see how it looks curled, also combined with an actual ombre coloring. You hear a lot of "color the cut" but you just flipped that on its head. Sure there are a lot of layers that will could be a bit painful to trim later if you weren't the person who did the original layering, but you get the same issue (with more difficulty) with razor cutting, or increased layers of any sort. I think the movement of the hair was unparalleled so high five. Love to see innovation! :D
ginistamps71: Thank you for the inspiration! I love how you think and share!
Kelly Hong Le: Sam. It was so cool how you flip your comb with your scissors still in your hands. Please do show a video on that!!! Amazing! Btw, thanks for the ombré cut tips. I Will try it!
SOLAR POWER FOR THE POOR !: Ive seen that Model on Your other videos,She is so Beautiful.Her hair is almost identical to Mine,You make it look Gorgeous.Sam and Andrew You are absolutely the Best hair cutting Experts ,Artists and Teachers out there.Extremely detailed yet easy to understand and fascinating to watch.Thank You Guys so much for posting.I can not stress enough how great You both are!
Jessica Preston: AMAZING technique! My question is would you do anything to the sides around her face? I understand you wouldn't want to remove a lot of bulk and make it too thin though
Cassandra Dunham: I understand and love the fact this industry is a constant learning environment. And I love the fact your videos explain why hair will lay this way or that. thank you
Grant Popple: I love learning new things and you always show me something new I cant wait to try this out:) thanks guys
kaydee713: How awesome!! I see you demonstrated on dry hair..does that mean that this technique needs to be done on only dry hair? It seems as though it'd be difficult to see the movement on wet hair after you cut it anyways.
LoBrands: this video is a GEM !!! love it !!!! i Cut my own hair and i cannot wait till my new shears arrive to try this technique on my self!!!
Lorra Lore: Great to see you both in the same video!Keep up the good work!
GenuineRubi: I love how at 10:46 he goes, "really cool, man". My thoughts on this video exactly. More videos with you two together! Great techniques, thanks for sharing.
Olivia Legree: Awesome technique...very visual interpretation of Ombre design.. the technique cascades like an interpretation of a waterfall. .fluid and seamless
Alex Flores: Omg you guys are amazing. So inspiring!! Loved it!
Kathy Malone: I love it! Im so going to try the triangle and elevation cut on top in the salon almost 30 years cutting hair and there is always room for more techniques Luv it !
Michael Bigam: one of your best videos yet! thank you for sharing your passion and the inspiration!
JL S: My stylist did this at Identities in Kalamazoo, MI and it is phenomenal!! Thanks Sam
timeless hair: Have watched your video of ombre layering and have just applied the tecnic on a cliant to day in my salon, must admit this was a bit scary but the results were fantastic didn't think the cliant would notice but she was highly pleased.must admitted I each a lot of your tecnics and find them amazing must purchased some of your produce when my salon earns some money

jimmy: Sam, your the man! I'm using this technique tomorrow!
Debra Weite: great video guys. Been a fan of both of you for a long time. I'm curious..do you think this would be a good technique for adding layers to hair extensions?
dellswifey2000: I love how this cutting technique saves time.
MissSlickOne: Just HAPPENED to run across this video. Her hair is gorgeous! Great cutting tips, amazing!!
Mimi Ramone: Sam, can you please do a video on how we would correct and over texturized haircut? I appreciate where you’re going here but I have really curly long thick wavy frizzy layered hair and hairdresser wanted to cut corners on time instead of cutting layers nicely she just tacked away with the thinning shears and shattered my ends. It’s breaking to the touch. She also did some slide cutting. There are no two hairs on my head that are the same length. Please do a video on how we would address this for example cutting the fuzz off And maybe hopefully preserving some length as we go? Help!
Daniel Heger: I feel a little conflicted on this technique, I've seen a lot of guests with long hair come in with frail/thin/breaking ends because the ends are too thin and overly texturized... you would need a client with high density and a one length to do this on, to not compromise making her ends frail/thin
kalima Tayyeba: Andrew is one of the best teachers of hair academy. For me he is the best. Thank you Sam for the great team of your academy
soraninja: Maybe it's just me but the idea of having thin uneven lengths throw out my hair make me want to cry. You'll get lots of flyaways when you want to do anything with your hair and when it grows out it'll look thin and wispy... I like a nice blunt finish on the end of my hairs and to add volume add EVEN layers
Brandon Acosta: I think is a great technique for split ends and great for thick hair, but not for thin hair and what happened with the sides.
Tara Rogers: Hi Sam I know this video is old but I create this type of look with zig zag VVVVV partings, starting at the crown. Elevating hair above the crown and using the point cut technique. We call it invisible layers it will give you the same affect. Tara Nicole love you!
So ng: Sam you are awesome! Love the technique!
erik river: Loving the idea guys. Cant wait to be part of the team.

A. Karatas: This is a perfect technique for arab, turkish and asian thick hair. they have so many hair, you can thin it out like this. a friend of mine is hairdresser. she cuts her hip long hair always by herself. it takes 1.30h. she just thins her hair with slice technique and keeps thick ends. she has so many hair , that it works. but if you have normal european or thiner hair, do not do this, it will look like a mess after 2 or 3 weeks if the client do not use the flat iron with and if the client do not uses ceratine supplements for a healthy look. This is a very great technique for shows on stage with thick hair. People will ove the action. i have seen a lot of client from tony and guy. they used to thin out long hair witch slicing and so on. they came to me and were so sad after 5 weeks. i just layerd their hair 2 or 3 times and they were much happier, because their hair looked healthier after.
Manchester Moon: I wish you would give a video on naturally curly hair and how to layered it properly
TENDER VOICE: Wow I love it,thank you
Jessica Cisneros: omg, you guys are geniouses!
Moonrise361: I have to say, you are both great hairstylists for sure, but I absolutely hate those cissors. For short or long hair, the use of them always ends up making the hair look thin with less body. Like people will think they are loosing hair after they went to the hairstylists who use those. If you don't want hair that look thinner, tell your hairstylist you do not want him to use the thinning cissor.
maddynstuff: I feel like this is so much work for such an invisible look. Why would you just add layers or take some texture shears to the hair? What’s so special about this technique?
Enrique Agustin Sánchez Muñoz: Muchas gracias Maestro Sam
