Medium Length Scissor Cut Haircut - Long On Top Short On Sides

All right guys welcome back to the regal gentleman youtube channel the hunter collective. Today we've got albus in the chair. How you doing good mate, you're right so tell me about your hair, then mate. It'S just a lockdown growth. Is it or yeah just growing overlooked down? I'M thinking i need a bit shorter size kind of make it tidy okay. What is the overall end goal to the haircut? I'M go. I'M not really sure. I just want to see how it goes with the time. So i think man at the beginning, but okay is man one still in the question, maybe maybe, and if you're gon na take the length off the back and sides you're gon na cut yourself back an awful few months. That'S the only thing if you don't mind that that's okay yeah, all right so would you be able to if you want to offer around the ears, do you want it like neat around these? Is that, like the kind of classic kind of cut around the ear, or do you want to brush back around here uh? Is there like a halfway point between the two? Maybe no not really well, there is, but there isn't, because it will always look messy. So i mean there's always time for growth, so the first one, if you're happy to lose that length, then i think it'll look lovely. I really do. I think it'll really change the whole. Look today, um yeah, let's give it a go. Yeah cool, i don't know so, just off camera there, quick, you sure you want to lose that length. Are you sure, because it will be a lot of them? There is, but i don't really think you know what you really want and i'm a bit. I don't think we've hit the nail on the head of what you want yet so i think on camera, it's easy to do conversation, but i think i want to get more in depth with you now off camera all right. So when you say you want to have it tidy around the edges right, it's not as easy as kind of just taking it off the ears. Everything needs to be layered in to create a like any sort of haircut. Okay, so we were just to take off into this like the halfway point. The reason why i said no is because it doesn't look tidy because it sits on the ear and if you go too short, it'll just sit on the ear and it look like you need a haircut if you leave it lengthen it now. Is it the back off it'll look nice because you still get to sweep it back, take it off the air! That'S when it looks the cleanest, but you have to remove an awful lot of length for that. So i just want to make sure we get this right before we start cutting before this haircut. I had the skin fade right. That'S why i was kind of scared to go to my barbers yeah yeah yeah. So this is like a whole new kind of thing. Yeah, definitely, i i i think, having like a nice scissor cut like just something really neat around the back inside. I look really nice for you again, it's it's so different to what you normally have. You know what i mean. I think i think you've got that nice length in it if we did make it look like a proper hairstyle, more than just being like it like a sort of all one length all over. I think that would be really nice, you know, but what i mean is like keeping the length on top. I mean just kind of tighten up the ends but having it so it does all sit back and just like cause. You you've got such nice hair it'll. Be it i think, longer hair for you it's good, but i don't doesn't always have to be long hair all over. You know what i mean it can just be like a longer style and a skin fade to sizzle cut. It'S still long for guys because, like a skin fade again, it's skin, isn't it so, but a scissor cut usually goes down to you know. Valentine'S normally chooses like could be like a couple of inches in length. You know, so it's still quite long really um. I do think that i look really nice for you today. I wouldn't worry too much about taking too much length off, because we can we'll still take a most of the length off the back and side around the back, especially, but if we can still keep some length through this topic, because i like the way it curls Here like if we can still keep that element of it coming back a bit through the corner and then just getting gradually shores, that's always the very, very edges. It won't be like scat there'll be no scalp exposure. Imagine you cut the top in a little bit. So it matches and then essentially you're left with that kind of look through there yeah. That was that kind of varsity. Look that i i. I grew up on that when i, when i started working, because it was kind of like what was in in like the american crew era. So that was the kind of thing i grew up on and it's just so lovely. It'S like a real, real manly kind of look. You know what i mean. It'S like it's sort of the college football era of that look. You know um, but again, moving all this length at the back. I just think it look. I do think it looked really good all right. Let'S do it. Yeah you're, happy yeah sweet. I didn't want to start cutting it and then you'd be like. Oh, no, that's a bit too short. Let me get it down one sec, all right guys. So i've just um shampooed and conditioned albert's hair. Now we had a little chat as well, be just before i shampooed it, because i was a little bit unsure. What our actual really really was was happy with, because in my head, when he mentioned mambo - and he threw me off because when he was asking for a little bit short around the edges and stuff i was like that is like kind of going against everything you Do to go into mambo reality is, is that albert has always had skin fades like the majority of guys who have grown their hair now. So i was like you know. If we did a sizzical back inside and made it really nice and neat, they will take a lot off the back and sides, but it will still look like a longer haircut, especially to albert, because a skin fade like anything scissor cut, so a guy with a Skin fade is long that kind of college football, 90s kind of look where it was almost like. It was like a proper american kind of scissor cut, not like military, but like scissor cut bit of length on top, because you know it's got good hair. It'S got lovely waves, it's super thick, it's 19! You know you can pull off anything right at this point, so i think this would be a really nice different. Look for albert that'll. Look so clean, really fresh, but we're still with the element of longer hair. In there as well, so i thought that i'd go today. So what we're going to do is i'm going to start with a horseshoe section? Okay, i'm just going to dry this off a little bit, so i'm working with the scissors. I want to be soaking wet waiting for your fingers is all right when it's really wet it's much easier to section, but when you're working with the scissor over comb a little bit tiny bit and drier than what this is really really nice, there we go. So i want to take off the backing sides about that much okay, maybe a bit less. But i wanted to maintain a fair bit of length through here all right, another lot of elevation to this, because i want to layer it from longer to shorter, so lifting it up and taking off what i see fit and then working closer as we get down To the bottom, i'm starting to a little bit closer down until my comb is flat on albert's neck and that'll, be a nice natural taper, i'm just cross checking and working back up through the sections. We'Ve left a lot of through here as you're getting shorter down the bottom. You know elevated, there's my guide and cut i'm just going to cross check back through elevation. Of course, just all maintain like a longer version, a longer haircut to what albert will be used to so obviously, every time he's been in the barbers he's going for a skin feed. So that's why trying to figure out what the end the end goal was at the start, but also what he'd be have with today and i think anything longer than a skin fade is going to feel long target because he's always having skin fade. But this will still feel quite long to him, which is quite a nice balance, because again he wants it nice and clean off the ears. So there's my guide getting closer down, i'm just working around the neckline as well pull that tape at the neck. To really finish it off, but i still want to keep some length through the sides you can see it still moves back nicely as well, actually again elevation now starting the guide again. Now, i'm working to the left-hand side. There we go elevation gut i'm going to keep following your guide. You can't go wrong. Just make sure your sections are nice and close work around shape of the ear as well. So i'm working on following the neckline work with the razor i'm going to work left to right right to left on the top, adding a bit of movement. You can see it still moves, don't we and this little thing out a little bit, but what i'll also do is cut the direction so that his hair will fall in different ways working across the cone come to thin out the hair too, really sort of help To thin out the sides in the back always get down how to break up the length through the crown, i'm going to dry it off now, and then we will detail around the edges shape in there. There we go i'm going to leave the hairline. I don't want to think i don't do any detail, maybe just all on the side bends a little bit, but i want to cut this, so it just sits on top of the ear trimmer on i'm going to teeth towards you and cut. You may take a couple, goes to get right and then just slightly overcome what it's done. It'S really tapered. So we can start to see the ear a bit more now, if they've been higher up and start to gradually, either with a clipper of a cone and just cut it to where the ear would be and cut just top of the ear pulling the ear down And just working very closely to the ear like so just strengthen the sideburn a bit more just start putting our perimeter lining, keeping it nice and wide, and i want this to be really natural. Looking you go and just start to graduate down to the ear. A little bit when it isn't cutting the ends off like that maintain our thickness there more than taper in it. I'M just putting the line in here for now so using the comb along the hairline turning off. It allows me to see where the line needs to go. We'Ve matched up nicely i'll. Do a nice little taper on this, so a little bit of a clipper over comb working off from underneath your softer bone here, pick it up and just start to work lower down. So same kind of thing pick it up point cut into one just going in with like say thin. This isn't putting like a straight blunt finish. What this helps to do is give it more texture as well as it falls, so you thin it out again. Some of what the razor was doing before the chunkier texture now not too deep, now just more towards the ends. Let'S get to this side here now, just more towards the ends. I just don't want that hair to be able to sit back a bit. We cut too far in close to the scalpel. The shoulders will pop out and make it stick right outside are done. You know what i'll do i'll just leave a lot of length in the software, but but i'll just make it easier for you to style. Okay, so we'll work on our horizontal sections over the round of the head. Now, as you can see, we've got a long section in there and we'll connect it to about here. So, as you pick it down, you'll see, i have a guide just through here. Uniform cut this as well straight across so we're leaving a lot of length through that corner, so that sits nicely back as well same thing. You get here so we're looking at say the width of this cone. In our section we lift it up. There'S my guide going straight across now. The reason i'm cutting horizontal is it'll match the length here, but as you bring it back, it moves around. So you get all the different sections as we get to the front. You can angle this out like so we're going to look for that point there. Just we maintain a lot of length at the front that way the fringe will sit back and be the longest point at the top is on one more section past the center pick. It up go gather the knees match up. As you see not much comes off the very bed, the very end, a lot of length still sitting till that top is on one section now just off center and look on the center part in and just bring it out towards you. So you have not much left in that side there. The back of the head will do vertical sections and i'll layer it in a little bit nicer. I'M going to point cut this in a bit as well, just to point close in swing again. You see where the lens is coming from here and the shoulder length underneath so we'll do one more section. Just on the apex. You go just a little bit there. We go and just start erasing go from sort of halfway to the end and his hair is so thick. You can really take a lot of uh razor work as well. If his hair was a lot thinner, you do a lot less razor. Okay, so, based on the thickness of the hair, is how you can based on how much razor you get with all the way back and that connects automatically for us pick. It up. You'Ve got a point, so we can basically lower work down. It'Ll still connect so lift it up like if you've seen the other videos. You'Ve got a point all the way up, so it doesn't matter how short you go. It'Ll all connect you've always got a connecting point either side so tiniest little bit for the top. Just to break it up a little bit there we go through here and cut into that to really break it up like so starting from the root wake up. So you have loads of different lengths sitting through there right. What i'll do it allows her to stand up a little bit move around a little bit, but also collapse, because you cut it from the root okay from the root break. It up see the blade pretty much flat against just sliding, through just to thin the hair out just flat, with the razor just slide that down just to thin out that hair a little bit. Okay, sliding the razor pretty flat against the hair slide across the top. What we'll do we'll dry it off and then uh we'll see the finished. Look, so i'm going to use a vent brush for this now, because i want this to flow a little bit more so use the round brush on the sides. Just get that kind of sort of grip, the hair and kind of make it move a bit to see if it would move and then i'm using the high heat and high speed with a vent brush. Just to give that a more natural finish to the top. Oh, but what you can do is just just finger dry: it you don't need to use a brush. Okay, just finger dry, it the brushes for me to kind of really dry it off and see what i can get with it. You know see everything that i've done with the texturizing. The the cutting and stuff is actually going to work, and i thought i'd actually work, but you could just use your fingers if you want to or let dry naturally put some product in a layer drying action. Then, after an hour or two pull your fingers through now, i'm going to finish off with the regular gentleman mcclay. I think this is a perfect one for this style. It'S got a solid hold again it's pliable, so you can wear it. You can just. I want you, i want to try to encourage you to run your fingers through your hair. That'S essentially that as well to get a really good look is just running through the day if you're going out in the night or well can't get in the night anymore. But you know if we, if we, if you're going in the afternoon right um, you can run your fingers through the day and it'll still stay and it'll move around it'll. The oils from your hands will mix in with the product, and it just gives a really nice finish. I'M going to start rip my fingers just through the crown. Okay, like that work that, through like that into the top working into the crown like so and then work it into the back, and you can see all that texture all that movement we put in the back there. Okay, we're going to start from here and put your fingers to the front okay like so okay, so just letting the little flicks fly away, twisting the hair around my fingers to kind of create a bit more of a flick to the hair. What do you make of that thing? I really like it do you like it yeah wicked looks nice to me very good. Thank you. Do you ever think you could do that with your hair? Did you ever think when you having your skin fade, you could have a haircut like this perfectly got a nice gradual taper into the bottom, still sitting just on the ear, so it's nice and tidy, but you saw that length is not tapered in too tight. I just sitting nice and classy great happy yeah thanks man cheers buddy, so to recap: um albert wasn't too sure of sort of what length he wanted to go to just want something that was going to be off the ears and kind of basically tidy up. What he's been growing out, so i wasn't unsure of what length we were going to go, so i wanted to make sure it was the exact length that he wanted. So i sort of suggest that we kind of cut it like scissor cut all over and just kind of nice, gradual taper into the neck, but also something that i shot on the ears that isn't going to be like too sort of sharp. I kind of too high and too round that we're still going to be able to give them length that would sit back as well, um and also again, if you want to at the end goal of growing it into like, say a man button or something like That you can still grow from this. It'S not like we've gone down to the skin, fading on too short, so what we did was scissor cut back and sides found the length that we liked. So it was. I don't know what length this would be, but you know a length that was kind of still be able to. I could still put the razor in it. I still point cut into the backing side. I could still kind of wear product through it to really make it kind of move around so whatever length. That is maybe an inch a couple of inches. Maybe yeah just cut it through to tape it a bit tighter into the neckline a bit more classic, but then obviously not as tight into the into the ears, so that we still sat a little bit heavier on the ears, but you can still push it back. I think it's a nice contrast that looks really neat, but you still maintained a bit of length in there picked a little bit of length at the top just to give a bit of a fresher, fresher, feel and then it with the razor quite heavily through to Thin the hair out and then with the different angles, to kind of force here, different ways to style. We used um, just your ego, gentlemen mackley. So this can fall anywhere. You want him just run his fingers through it and it'll fall nice, and that was essentially it yeah happy very happy good. Thank you. Man, pull your mask down for me, see what your face. It looks like yeah suit your lose man. Yeah got wicked here. Mate wicked here you've got a lot of comments on how nice your hair is. I can guarantee you you
