Mid Length Hair With Layers And Curtain Bangs | Hair Tutorial

What'S up guys welcome to today's video, so guess what on the video today, I actually had a special request, so I had a question on Instagram and it was from Melissa and Melissa asked she said, love everything that you do. I was wondering. Would you be so kind of showing us how to cut layers on shoulder length, hair thanks for your time, so so Melissa's question kind of sparked a little bit of an idea. So I want to create a segment where I just kind of take your questions and I create a whole video based on that question, because you got ta assume that if melissa has this question and a lot of other people have it as well. So she wants to see medium length, layered haircuts. So what I did was, I did a medium length, layered haircut, it's gon na be about shoulder length, a lot of movement in the layering. It'S gon na be rounded layers kind of pushed off the face, and then we also in this video through a curtain fringe as well also as a bonus on this video, I'm gon na show you guys at the end we're gon na do a hair, color experiment. So I want to show you guys that as well so stay tuned after the haircut to see the finished product, the finished result with our hair color as well. Thank you to Paul Mitchell.

Today'S video, by taking a center parting, so just gon na work, our way right down to the crown and then I'm gon na find where the head starts to curve right in the fringe area. And that's where I'm going to draw my triangle right straight down. The hairline so notice I look for that hairline because I'm looking to work with similar density throughout the entire cut twist up that triangle clip it out of the way. That'S literally gon na be the only section that we really take throughout this whole cut. So it's gon na be pretty simple in that aspect. So now I'm going to add in Paul Mitchell, neuro, Prime, it's a nice blow-dry primer, it's got a nice medium light. Hold. I put it in the hair, helps protect it from heat. So I'll put it in there, it helps control the hair. While I cut it and then it helps with protecting the hair when I blow it dry. So, to start, this hair cut off we're gon na work on the left-hand side of the head, and basically, what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na work? My way back this entire section until I get to where the hairline starts, to drop into the nape into the back of the head right behind the ear so working off the curve of the head, I really want to create almost a concave feel to the sides Of the cut nice short layers skinning up the bottom and just creating layers that really fall nice around the ear and then remove that weight from around the sides. I'M also taking some density away from the outer perimeter of the cut which we're gon na cut at the very end, so on a few different techniques, we're gon na throw into this and things. I think you'll find very valuable in the salon as you're working so notice. I didn't start this haircut by cutting the length I'm really working on the interior shape first, so everything is getting elevated up. I'M gon na create layers that push off of the face. The way that you do that is, you cut the hair towards the face, so I'm over directing everything over that very first section, so it becomes a stationary guide, taking vertical partings and pushing the hair. You can see I'm pushing it right over top of that. First parting, that I took that first section that I took so everything's going to to section one I'll continue that cut all the way back to just behind the ear where that hairline starts to drop. That'S where I'm gon na change things up so notice, I'm going back to that point. That'S because the density is all the same. In that section, it's really important as hairdressers and those of you guys that are getting more into advanced, haircutting or even in school. Just to understand the different densities that you're working with in the hair, what is the formation of the hair? How much hair are you working with? Where does the hairline flow? Because when you look at the hairline, that's gon na determine the outer perimeter of that cut and kind of the density throughout it. So the sides I'm cutting both the same so now we're working on the right hand side. The only difference is you always want to free up that bottom, that elbow when you're cutting concave shapes. So I'm standing in front of the head pulling everything to me, which tends to be a little bit easier, anyways because you're pulling it towards yourself, anytime, you're, pushing away. It gets a little bit harder to stay consistent, so notice. It'S just a straight line across somebody. In the comments is gon na say something about me: wearing black clothes in dark hair. It'S okay, look at my fingers! Look at the angle. You can still see the hair if you look at there's a couple of highlights that pop through in there, but just look at my finger angle: that's what you need to be. Judging, that's the most important part. You can see my hands very clearly in this video. So all the way parallel to the floor is how my fingers are working across. That'S the cutting line that we're creating. So I go all the way back to where that hairline starts to drop in the back and that's where I'm going to stop on the sides. So because I'm over directing everything to the front, all of those layers are starting to get longer towards the back, and that's really the goal. You also have to look at the head shape. The head shape is curving a lot in the back of the head, so it curves not only in the crown area but then around the occipital bone as well. So I'm now not gon na cut concave and I'm gon na work just a straight line. Still, parallel with the floor across and I'm gon na cut, squit more square layers or balanced layers in the back, so my guide is now gon na be traveling. It'S not gon na be stationary, so I'm gon na cut my first section and then I'm gon na work my way across that way, so you'll see everything's over directed straight up and we're gon na hit the over top angle. So you can see that everything is just coming back to that previous section, so we're traveling across the back of the head, creating a balance line horizontally and vertically see I grabbed a little bit of the old and then bring in the new I'm working. My way, all the way over to that hairline everything coming straight up, parallel to the floor straight up in the air. Now, if I had a guest that had a higher density of hair - and I really wanted to remove some extra weight, I could even shift my finger angle even a little bit more in this and cut more concave layers in the back. That would take out some more weight if she had high density, then maybe I would go in with some point cutting instead of cutting a blunt line that tends to take out a little bit more weight, so there's different options based on the density of your clients, Hair, so in this last section you'll notice there wasn't anything to cut so I move on now we're gon na go into the fringe. So what I wanted to do is cut a nice open kind of curtain fringe, if you, if you want to call it that so what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na work with a little bit of elevation, I'm gon na work with vertical partings. One little tip and this something I learned from Richard manna - I believe he cuts the lengths so notice that I'm checking where I want my guide to be, and I have a ton of hair. So what I'm gon na do is cut the bulk of it off. First then, I'm gon na go in and point cut a line. I'Ll show you guys that again, so you can see it, but I go in. I point cut because I want to create a nice soft feel. So I cut the blunt line for my length. Then I go in with point cutting a little bit of deeper point cutting, but here's the tip right here. So as I comb the hair over I've got a lot of hair in my hand. So in order to control it, I cut the bulk of it off. First, I don't go all the way to the guide. I can still see my guide underneath and then I go in and I point cut that length to match my guide. So what that's doing is just allowing me to control the hair a little bit better. I thought that was such a cool tip anytime, I'm around a different hairdresser that I haven't worked with before. I always try to grab something from them that I can bring in to what I do, and that was one thing I really thought was cool is just being able to control that hair, because sometimes when we were hairdressers, when we go in to cut that long Hair, that's over our fingers, it's challenging and it gets in the way, so just take that bulk off then go in and cut your lines. However, you would like so the last bit. I wanted this to be a medium length haircut, so we cut some shorter layers in there cut the interior part and now we're going in cutting the exterior the perimeter line wanted it to be a little bit more of a blunt feel, a nice solid line. So I'm just cutting everything at that one length and the layers will kind of come to life from there, so cutting off making sure all the hair looks nice and healthy as we work through it, and this is a great medium length cut for your guests. So now I'm gon na blow it dry. I'M gon na use Paul Mitchell lifts we're gon na. Do some color real quick too, because what I wanted to do is I want to play around with Paul Mitchell sent me their new VG series. I use in a past video to make a blonde, but they have a level five and I was like well, if it's a violet gold, then what does it look like at a level five? So I thought I put this all over the head and get a really nice idea for what that tone looks like thought. You guys might find that interesting as well, so we're gon na deepen her to a level five. Now. Definitely one thing that I've noticed about this color is that it's got like kind of an iridescent feel, so when it hits the light you get different shades from it. It'S it's a VG which you would think is violet gold, but it's a neutral base. So with a violet kind of overcast, so I really love the violet tones that come through on it. You'Re gon na see it in the end result, but that was kind of one of my favorite things about this color, because you're always looking for a nice violet. But that looks natural. That kind of has that natural undertone to it and a lot of them are kind of fantasy color. Looking so this one to me just has that violet hue, that richness to it but still violet, which I really really love, and I think you guys will love in the salon as well so check that out on Paul Mitchell, calm and that's it. I hope you guys, like the cut you can see the layers you can see the open up curtain face frame fringe.
