How To Cut A Short Pixie Haircut Tutorial Step By Step

All right guys how you doing again, I'm Clinton, Norris and I'm here with Carla and we're gon na wait a few minutes for everyone to kind of join us. We'Re going to be doing a live, haircutting demonstration tonight, I'm so thankful for Erin, Johnson and Prive hair to allow me to have this opportunity to teach a little bit of knowledge and kind of show. My approach to haircutting. We are at Palmer to the school San Diego today and they've allowed us to use their wonderful facility Margaret chromium's, the owner of the school Katie grace is a director and Kristen jarred. The education leader have allowed me to use their wonderful facility to be able to demonstrate a haircut tonight. So as far as myself, I've been doing hair for about 11 years or a little over a decade. That sounds way cooler when I say a decade. So, a little bit over a decade and early on in my career, I started being an educator from the beginning. So education is where my heart is. When I first started my journey, DJ, Muldoon and Manny were the people that were educators at the school and it made me want to be just like them. So I decided to jump into that field and it's been the best thing I've ever done. It'S taught me to have the answer and to search to myself to find out exactly what it means for me to be a crafty hairdresser, so we'll go and get started. I kind of tell you a little bit about what we're doing with Carla today with me. I have my good friend Lucas Tony, and it's been a good friend of mine for a long time and so he's gon na be here hosting it a little bit talking through some of the questions. So if you guys have any questions, please type in anything, I know a lot of face book lies people do type in anything, feel free to do that as well, and then Lucas will kind of filter through the questions get to as many people as you can. As possible after tonight, once it's done, I'm gon na go through and I'm gon na answer as many questions as possible. So if your question does get answered, if it doesn't get answered, I'm gon na go back through try my hardest to fill everybody in. So again we have another person with us. That'S filming. Her name is Ilsa and she's, one of my favorite peach professionals that we've had come through the palm to school and I'm opening a salon October 1st, it's called citizen salon so find it on Instagram citizen salon. We open on October 1st, and she was the first hire that we have and she's been at every event. We'Ve done and as far as like talented future professionals she's at the top. So we're glad to have her and then Lucas, Toni's gon na be going to the questions. So let's talk about Carla, so Carla is a future professional here at the school as well and I've cut here a few times long time ago. I was long to cut it short and I keep people have cut a little pixie cuts on her and I feel like she is gorgeous. So a pixie cut looks great on her because it shows off a lot of her features and at the same time it might subtract linked, but also exposes her femininity and that's what we want to do again today. So what I've done here is I've taken a little bit of a parting on one side, I combed everything forward, and there was this little bit of a natural split, so a tapper Idol Ridge, things started to naturally fall where gravity pulled them and then gravity pulled These forward off the round of her head in the front, so I allow that to naturally fall if I were to take a section a little bit higher than that. What happens is this here that actually lives up here? When I cut it to the side would spring back up and she would have a challenge styling it as I've worked around to the back out of the exact same thing. I combed all this to the side and where this natural split happened at her crown, it allowed this to be and if she fights her hair, her hair's always gon na win. So I decided to let that fall. Naturally, I've only done one side as we go through. The other will split that off as well and we're gon na start the front as an overview. I'M gon na cut this pretty short at the front hairline and it's gon na gain length as it gets towards the back and I'm gon na control that by an action called over direction. I'M gon na do the same thing on both sides get as symmetric as I can and then we're gon na cut a really fun layup on the top. I learned it from my friend Erin. It'S called guide skipping and he uses it with curly hair, but Lucas and I kind of brainstormed a little bit about what we want to do. The haircut and we're gon na make something short. I'M gon na leave out a piece and make something short leave out. A piece short we'll start at the end, and we should be about an hour I feel like for the demo. Let'S get started so here in the front hairline I'm gon na take a vertical diagonal back. So that means that the sections going to live more towards the vertical, but the direction of the diagonal is going to be slightly towards the back of her bone structure. So here's my first guide, this guy sucks the rest, the haircut sucks. So I want to make sure I spend a good amount of time on this guy and making a good decision about what I want to do so vertical. Diagonal back helps me out as well, because I can see the top of the panel and also the bottom of the panel, and that allows me to create a vertical shape here. That'S going to best suit her and be the end result of my design. So first section I'm going to use palm to Palm, which means that my palm is gon na be facing me. I'M gon na start here at the very top of this section, and I want this to be somewhat closer to finger wit. So it's a little more than half that link that she has now all right so taking it down in my second knuckle, I'm gon na stop. I'M gon na read comb this Riel avait tit and then continue on with the same bit of this section up front. All right, your Johnson's on, what's up in thanks for the opportunity, glad you're here watching how's New York, section number two same thing: another vertical diagonal back section number one is going to be my guide of length, so I'm going to scoop that guide up there as Well, I'm not going to use any / direction, so section number two isn't traveling forward to section number one: I'm actually letting those live right where they are just straight out of their base and I'm not pulling that forward, because I don't want any extra length right Now, towards the back, all right, six number three same thing, and now, as far as my cutting line, it is a little bit rounded, so it's not actually flat or square on the side. It'S a little bit rounded vertically. So it's getting the same link to the very top at the pirata Ridge, all the way to the bottom, all right and it's got a clap all right again. Another vertical diagonal back section continuing with the same and I'm coming. If you notice I'm combing from my guide and I'm introducing my guide into my uncut hair, so what that allows me to do is to take the section that I'm cutting straight off of its base. If I decided to turn my comb over and comb it into my guide, what happens is section number four. Now it gets longer than section number three and creating too much link towards the back so again for this front a little bit. I want this to be completely balanced from the front hairline to this division line. I'M going to work to she sounds really pretty hey Joe good, so again, working here again from the top of the panel. All the way to my second knuckle again combing my guide and introducing it into the uncut hair, and so that's gon na take the uncut hair straight off its base and allowing that to not getting it longer towards the back. So so far, I like the shape here again. This is the basic shape after it gets dry. We'Re gon na, reassess and look at it and see if we need to adjust anything a lot of times with hair, that's finger width or finger length on the side. Here I do like to go back over at the very end, with like a little scissor over comb. It takes care of any little bits of extra over direction or knuckle marks. That could happen in such a short length. To me. For some reason, finger width is very difficult, not because it's hard to execute, but it's hard to control, placing your knuckles against the bone structure and that not to change from section 2. 3. 4. 5 is somewhat difficult and then again to my second knuckle. Stopping all the way down to on top of or behind the ear here this is a very troublesome spot. I believe what I like to do is just move the ear out of the way, and then it's no longer a problem. I said again fighting with something that's natural: it's always gon na win and again, I'm gon na go clean up everything at the very end around the bottom hairline, and so there's my first few sections, so you can see actually where I'm at and compared to the Shorter link that lives here in the front so continuing more the same again, introducing my guide into my uncut section of hair and then my own cut section of hair number. Six here is just straight off of its base, so I like to use a number system. I got this from a few friends: James mold and Ben Crais, and Lucas Donnie they've spent a lot of time with the guys at Halle. Juan and they've used a number system and that's helped me a lot because it allows me to create symmetric balance and it allows me to have the most amount of control over each section and it's to really methodically work through and understand where I'm at. So. If I take six sections on one side, I want to be able to do six sections on the other, so it's section number seven here after this I'm gon na start over directing. So I need to know that, for a wedding to the other side at section number, seven, the next section needs to start over directing. So it kind of keeps my balance for both sides again, if you guys could, if you're watching this live, please or if you're not watching live later, please feel free to hit the share button as many people as you can know about it just so they can Get some free education from Prive and then fire away at any questions that you guys have or anything that you're wanting to know I'll. Even answer questions about myself. I guess you know personally, alright, so section number eight is now gon na go forward to section number. Seven so my number systems gon na change now so actually one had gone to two three to four four to five: six to seven and now eight isn't actually going to go to seven nine, eight ten to nine and I'm going to continue over ducking slightly longer Because what I want to do is this link here in the crown I've assessed the bend and I can see where the curl pattern or the wave pattern starts to happen, and if I start to cut that right now, it's actually the link. That'S right past the bend of the air, so here it allows it to sit down. If I decide to cut that any shorter than that, it's going to be right in the middle or towards the end of the bend in the air, and it's gon na tend to stick straight out, and so this is a spot that she doesn't see the most. So she's not looking at the back of her hair and I think well maybe she is, but I think if you did it'd be more difficult to control it. So I want to be able to make that as easy as possible for the back. Yes, nice. That'S awesome picking the model, I believe, is half the battle you know, so we really try to take care of them as much as possible. So again, I'm just taking everything to the previous now, so my over direction is slightly changed, so I'm gon na rotate a little bit, so you guys can see. So again I took 8 to 7 and now this is 9 to 8 and what I really want to focus on is actually what's at her scalp, so at the root of her hair. So I'm seeing at the root here, this is actually traveling to the previous. Now, if it's a straight out of the base, I would know that I haven't over directed it enough, so I want to look right at the root and make sure this here you can actually see away. The hair is combed that root right. There is actually pushed forward, so I know that it's my uber direction is forward to the previous section. So I want to keep looking at that everything here arbitrarily out in space is not a point that I can make a good decision on there's. No reference point out in space for me to be consistent with so, but at the scalp. I can actually see my previous section and where I need to over direct it to so really looking at the root and looking at her scalp, where the hair is actually traveling to, and it's gon na be my best friend as far as again being consistent. So, as you can see here, the hairs actually getting longer towards the back because of our direction so anytime. I started pulling here forward and cutting and it's actually traveling a further distance and in return making the actually longer same combing. That to the previous section and now coming from the back of my new section forward into my previous and then again that combing direction is going to help me with my over direction. Support for your number system. But a lot of people are realizing what a useful tool that is yeah I mean I I feel like so many times. I would work methodical and I would think about everything I was doing, but a lot of the times. I wasn't really counting, and you know we'd do one thing on one side and just hope that when I got to the next side that it was just as good as the other and very difficult to do, symmetry is one of the hardest things I think I've Ever tried to do and haircutting deejay Muldoon told me if I ever do anything live or a demo, never do anything symmetric - and Here I am everything I've done on live - has been so symmetric haircut, but I always take his advice and except for this, so again, I'M using the tight side of my comb for control. I could use the wider side of the comb just to comb through here and maybe get a little bit of partings and stuff like that with it, but mmm. As far as what I'm doing here, I want to be able to have the most amount of control, because I'm actually layering the hair and graduating it at the same time. So everything from above the parietal Ridge is actually getting longer, as I have over directed hair. The very top of this section has grown in length, so you can see now. My cutting line has actually turned into being square vertically all right at the beginning. It was kind of rounded up and, as I started working and over directing hair, I got more vertical. As I worked on to the back so as I get here to the round of the head, it's completely vertical. It'S going to save some of that length and some of that Bend now that I get to the back of this round of the head, I'm actually going to create a stationary guide, so I had no rejection. I had over deck into the previous and now that I'm here to the round of the head, I want to start a stationary guide. So all those sections are gon na collapse on top of each other and barely even taking off a quarter of an inch from this back section here and again has to preserve some of that link got a question from Daniela Ramirez said: Daniela, she's curious. What you'll be doing with the bottom area? I think she's speaking about below the occipital yeah cuz, if you've noticed, I haven't really touched anything below that. One of the things that we liked and we assess in our haircut is this - was already shorter and looking at it, I like the LinkedIn relationship to what I was doing before another thing. At the very end, what we want to do is we want to create a very strong asymmetric hairline and by leaving a little bit of extra length and density here toward the bottom actually spin it around here actually leaving some of this LinkedIn density is gon na. Allow me to stamp in something that's strong after I do that I'm gon na assess, if I need to take everything above that shorter. So as I stamp in there's asymmetric cool little design line towards the very bottom, then I want to assess. Okay. Does this actually above the outline, need to be shorter, and if it does, I can dust with oliseh super comb, but I do like the link that she already has now someone taught me a long time ago. It'S all about the hair they leave with on their head notes on the floor, and so I'm gon na continue to follow that as a little bit of a Creed as I work okay. So that's this whole side in this whole panel. So as I look at that, and I kind of comb that down to wear a little style and where to live, I do like it. I like the shorter bit in the front and the extra long length here towards the back just for practicality. So like the way this is going so far, so I'm gon na rotate her around and we're gon na start here on the other side. So now you guys can actually see how I took my paneling and how I made that decision. So as I comb her hair forward, there's this natural bit of a split that will start to happen here: the curvature of the bone structure and so looking at it here. This is where the round really starts to happen. Alright, and as I trace that forward, that's what natural Bend is everything from here down is to gon na naturally live there. Everything from there up, it's gon na naturally live up. So even this piece so see how that's kind of falling. I want to incorporate that into the side, because again I don't want her fighting anything that would naturally live on top or on the side, so again, even assessing right there. I feel like that, it should live on. The side got a question from Tiffany Roberts about your scissors: yeah Tiffany Roberts, hey Tiffany, so with scissors, I'm pretty passionate about tools, the tools that I use I played music before I did hair, and I felt like sometimes when I chose like the wrong instrument: the Wrong thing would happen so mm-hmm in choosing a tool. I decided to use a scissor, that's a little bit shorter, so I'm using a 5 inches or maybe you can see it against the black there better, I'm using a 5 inch scissors. So it's pretty short. As far as the blade is concerned, but it's no longer than my second knuckles, so I feel like a lot of times. If I have the ability to cheat and cut a little longer I'll do it so I decided to use a smaller, shorter scissor. Also, it's really good for detail work. I don't if you've ever tried tube with like a pen or a pencil choke, I'm going to take your fingers all way to the back of the pencil and try to write your name. It looks like a kindergartner wrote it right, but if you take that same pencil and your fingers and move it up to the very tip of the pencil and try to write your name, it's beautiful you do whatever you want to with it. So my hand is actually closer to the end of the scissor, so I have more control over what I'm doing, with the blade and that's a big thing for me to be able to be in control. Mizutani is the brand of the scissor my exclusively and only use mr. tiny scissors they've been phenomenal to me as far as reaching out to me and wanting to work with me as an artist and as an educator. My friend Lucas and I have started a little bit of a side project called varsity education, and so we believe if people want to be elite, they would be on the varsity team and we both played sports, and I think that was such a cool thing to Us and our not speaking for Lucas, but to me it was, and I don't know we wanted to create like the varsity team of hair, you know and Haircutters, and so we started that and we teamed up with Mizutani. They actually made us the specifics. Whether this is or doesn't exist, unless you get it through us, it even has a little varsity logo on there, and so we collaborated with Mizutani to make this special scissor for us. We teach classes, Lucas and I together, and we call them barsen education classes. We do a few year we have one coming up on Monday that is sold out, we're very excited about that and yeah. If you guys follow us on social media Clinton, cuts, hair or Lucas donee on Instagram, we tend to post about it a lot. We have an Instagram that we're gon na bring to life very soon and so that'll, possibly and potentially be a place where everyone can go and kind of find out. Some information about classes, alright, so missus, tiny scissors, 5 inches. So a really long explanation for answer. I could've given really short yeah, okay, so yeah, and I have done the same thing at definitely other. My finger is going to be my real. How I relate that from side to side to be similar, so finger width here I rotated that up and made a vertical cutting line that was curvy or rounded, essentially layering the hair. And then, if you notice, my fingers are different. My fingertips are now down and my scissors are up so I've changed my cutting direction. So since I want to have another vertical diagonal back for me to do this and rotate my body is, can be very difficult, and it's not gon na last for very long. So I've decided to turn my hand over, so I just switched my elbows, so my left elbow is now in a and the air. My right elbow is down. Some people might think that they would just turn their hand over and start cutting on the outside of their hand. So a few different things happen when you cut on the outside of your fingers. So the way that my arm is made - my elbow is above my section, so I'm going to tend to push this hair down same thing. If I have my elbow below, I'm gon na start to pull it down as well. If I actually rotate my hand over, it's very easy for me to lift up very high, be difficult for me to lower it so cutting here. My fingers allows me to keep this where I need it to be, instead of elevating it to high as I work towards the back, and I want to be consistent. Cheri pom, hey Jerry bottom Virginia Beach Virginia, I like that shape. Ah, she just some stowage recently and she just wanted a little explanation of the number system you're gon na use. So as far as a number system, so I want to be able to count my sections and make things as symmetric as possible. I want to work with discipline and I want to be dedicated to that process, so I'm using a number system where section number 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. I'M counting all my sections, so I do the same thing on both sides. So if I start utilizing over direction to make the longer link towards the back, I want to be able to count my sections to know where I started to over direct or just. However many sections I use. I want to be able to use that same amount of sections in same section size from front to back, so number system helps me out a lot with balance and just working methodically as well. So, as far as the number system that I'm using here is my first guide that I cut at the Bayfront hair line actually combed away from that, introduce that to section number 2 so section, which was the same as 6 number, 1, 2 to 3 and 3. To 4 is where I am at now, and I'm working all the way to section number 7. In section number, 7 I'll start over directing here people people excited about the scissor. You'Ve got awesome old, saying they were they're so lucky to applica as a learning leader. How much of the school that's from Rosina uh, hero Xena? I love her yeah she's, so great, hey, Rosina, my heart's, a lot of people scissor perfect. How much of a difference! The haircut is! Makings, look incredible! Zebra! Lebanon! Thank you guys! So much all right! So here is section number seven and then from then on, I'm gon na start over directing forward. You got a comment that says: Clinton is really nice. I agree. Thank you. Why not be an enemy Clinton? That'S really nice, who said that she's really nice for saying that right so now, as you can tell really, as you guys have joined us just for this side, with my sectioning and with the control of hair, what I started to do is actually come forward. So this actually is now again being over directed forward to its previous, so I'm actually coming from the other side, this side, I started calling backwards this side here, I'm actually coming forward, so it can over direct to its previous. So again, here I'm looking at the route and making sure that's only traveling one section forward. Looking at the routes gon na tell me everything. If I don't look at the route is not gon na. Allow me to know how far for the hair is traveling and again I don't want to trust space, and I want to be able to make a really good decision about how that hair is traveling forward. So looking at the route, I can see that that section is traveling forward, just one section, so this is assessable on comb I got introduced to us at the moment. I was a student 11 years ago by my teacher Manny. It was are so cool when he gave a people scissors, and I was I wish when he gave people combs, and he gave me this specimen. I actually have a few of them, but I always used the one that he gave me. I just feel like it's kind of cool and I still want to cut hair like Manny, so for some reason I feel like there's a little bit of magic in this comb and I like it a lot because of the flexibility in the comb. It'S not too rigid the teeth aren't too pointy. Sometimes a wise part. Comb can get a little too pointy and it can kind of scratch this cup a little bit, and I love that. But excessive on Chrome has never done me wrong and I feel like I get the most control out of this comb more than any other. So sets up on comb, it comes in two colors green is like the classic and then harebrained actually has them in white. So that's been a kind of cool selling. She was curious if you travel for your classes. Yeah we've been in the woods talking to Mizutani scissors on the phone about our varsity education and taking those classes to different cities, and we would absolutely love to you know. I was talking to Lucas yesterday have chosen to work with him he's one of my best friends in my entire life, I'm older now, and so I've had a lot of them and out of my entire life, Lucas has been one of my best friends and so He'S always taught me, I just want to do cool stuff with my friends. You know, that's like my goal in life is to do cool stuff with my friends, and so you know we want to be able to. You know, educate whoever and be a part of people's journey as they go through, and people that should want to make themselves better and so working with him has allowed us to have the ability to teach classes together. I think teaching classes by myself is somewhat boring. So I want his perspective as well on this classes, so I believe that, yes, we would travel to teach classes upon request so slide into my DMS Prive there. Thank you for being on the page today. Thanks for sharing, I think you've got a question from Randy. Hey Randy that says, are you using a cutting lotion or any other product in the hair? It seems to be staying in place very well and you haven't wet it down again awesome question, so I would see people cut hair too and ask that same question. Like man like how was I her staying there and it still looks really shiny, I work for Paul Mitchell and so they've. Some of the new products have been some of my favorites with her, I kind of prepped her a little bit with the styling treatment oil. The word oil scares me to death - I always think, might put oil and someone's here it's gon na be gross and greasy and things like that. But there's toning treatment. Well, it's actually a dry oil. So with that being a dry oil, it allows it to go past, just a cuticle layer and it keeps it hydrated and I don't have to kind of respray her down over and over again, which I don't want to do. But I might do here in a second because I feel like that is kind of drying out a little bit and she has amazing hair. So, no matter what I'm doing to it like it's looking good and again, that's why I chose her as a model. Okay, so now that I've completed both sides, we're going to start working through the top all right, and so I'm gon na comb, all the hair in the direction that it naturally lives, yeah, so short, hair is gon na be more reactive than long hair. I rarely am I looking at growth patterns in the crown area if their hairs down to the middle of their back now, once a year gets shorter and I started looking at the bend of the hair. Things can start happening so at her crown there's a little bit of an irregularity in growth. I can kind of turn her, so she has this little like bump and growth pattern here. So I decided when we got to this round of the head here. It was about section number 10. On each side, we created a stationary guide and that allowed this very center piece to over. Go all the way out to the side, which creates longer length here in the center, which leaves the rest of the bend so it'll be like controlled and down. So that's what I did with that portion there over the hair to make it longer now, I believe, with growth patterns that, like a cowlick, because what we tend to all those they need to be short, I need to be long, maybe longer gone so with hers. Based on her limitation, she wants to be able to style it pretty easy. I wanted to create more link there, so I can style itself so a lot of times with growth patterns. I want them to be able to be shorter long. So if she didn't care - and we wanted to do something a little extra today - then I would have maybe taken this really short over her crown. But we want to do something a little bit more so on friendly guest friendly and not necessarily have to put her in a world where it's extra creative every day. Okay, so I'm going to take a section from parietal Ridge to parietal Ridge and I'm gon na control this up and I'm going to cut over top of my fingers. So I have a good amount of length here. So one of the things that I am gon na do is I'm gon na assess, where you know section number, nine or so was, and I'm gon na connect it to this okay. So, as I L of eight, this section number nine, I'm gon na utilize that as a guide of length, I'm gon na incorporate that into my section here and I'm gon na elevate this straight off of its base from the parietal Ridge. Using that guide of length. I'M gon na work up here to my second knuckle and then I'm gon na use a curvature of my fingers to help me make this curvy lion. I'M gon na work that, across the top all the way to the parietal Ridge on the other side, and so again, I'm looking at the route I'm making sure that the route here is coming straight off of its base and I'm going to connect it into the Other side get a lot of love for your haircut. It'S great a lot of people want to have you come to their salon? A schools would love that a lot of people interested in having you in their territory yeah. I would love to you. I think that you know I travel a good amount of time, I'm a part of the advanced Academy, cutting team for Paul Mitchell, and so we actually, I travel to other schools and teach their teachers, but a lot of times, I'm not working in two salons. I Lucas and I educate at a salon here in town and it's called salon. Xxx, that's one of my favorites or one's locally and working with them has been phenomenal. Seeing the team grow anybody interested in seeing the ego working on the salon. That'S gon na push. You and give you a lot of education, that's the one! So we did a lot of get education there, which is really fun, and so I believe Lucas and I both love that bit of Education, someone in the line, so this next section here that you see I'm actually not gon na cut that at all. So my previous section, I cut section number two, I'm gon na leave long because I do a lot of texture here. So I'm have a short long short long short long, and so my next section here across the top I'm gon na do the same thing. I'M gon na actually connect it into the side using that bit of linked at the parietal Ridge and I'm cutting a very round cutting line from parietal across the parietal plate into the pro-rata Ridge. Here, on the other side in making that connection so now have a short long short long, so I'm gon na. Actually, if you understand there, I'm gon na turn to the side and I'm gon na lift just those two sections up and you're gon na be able to see short long short all right. So it's gon na give her a lot of texture, a lot of movement. You can already see there's so much space and a lot of things going on there, so she wanted to kind of blast some texture in her hair. I think it'd be very easy for her to do so short long short, so section number four, my even numbers! It'S gon na be long and then my odd number is gon na be short. Looking got a few questions, yeah of course, um Kristin, hey Kristin. She asked why you're stopping your second knuckle. She was told that that was just a hair school rule. Yeah right. That'S a thing I mean yeah sure I mean I think, that a lot of people hear that in hair school and they maybe didn't - have someone to tell them why they do that. So if you look at your fingers, hopefully everybody that's watching on Facebook is gon na look at their first two fingers where they control here and what happens is after our second knuckle, there's a really huge gap and what that gap does. Is it releases a lot of tension? You have less control that happens back there and if we look at mine on my desktop this off real quick. So if we look at mine here as these work together pretty flat but through here, there's a bigger space. So if you could see light through, I've got a light going behind. It, there'd be a lot more space there here, it's all connected. So if I pick up a section of hair, this is gon na have a lot less tension, and this is gon na have more so I'm gon na get a really lumpy or like bumpy end result. That'S not what I want so by cutting. Only to my second knuckle I'll get more control a consistent end result as well, so here we can see short long short long short and then we're gon na make this last one long, but we're going to trim it because it does get a little long. So this last long one, I am going to adjust just a little bit, so I'm taking my last section here, lifting it out, I'm just gon na trim these ends. I hope that answer the question of the second knuckle. Oh God, some a few people, one person Madison, is asking if you'll be at caper, 2018, hey Madison, so caper is an event. That'S for future professionals put on by Paul Mitchell, our company implemental schools year before left. I was an artist and I got to be on stage was a super fun and I'm actually going to be there doing a mini class, the very first day of capers, so Lucas and I together when everybody gets to caper we're going to be doing a mini Class, the very first day, so we're really excited about that, so that you guys get there we'll put some things on our social media, so you guys will know when and where we'll be, and how to be a part of that. So now I am going to kind of recap: everything I'm gon na turn to the side and I'm gon na take a section from front to back that way. You'Re gon na be able to see these shorter and longer portions of hair smell come everything forward. You can actually see it here if you can kind of look from the front. Can you see short long short long short long? Okay - and this is not the end result, so I don't think that it's gon na be like this, but we're gon na take a section here to the front. We'Re gon na be able to see that long piece, sure long short, long, short long, okay. So after I blow-dry this and get this control that we're gon na do, is we help you with that? What we're gon na do is I'm gon na work around her bottom hairline and then I'm going to point cut through some of this, so we're gon na go through some lessons of what point kind of here is when to point cut how to point cut. I might do some surface cutting the sliding, through some of this texture, to break up those longer pieces because I haven't test them at all, so I am going to put these down and I'm gon na grab my blow-dryer and my brush a little more selling treatment. So this is a Stelling treatment and I was looking at earlier, so my favorite products of all time and for her I mean, since I put a little bit in there when it was wet um. I don't put too much because I do. I don't want to look greasy or overly done, which rarely ever ever had that issue with styling treatment. No, since it's a dry oil, so he's just my fingertips to put that in even here through the back and through the sides, to give it a little bit of shine and a little bit of control. I felt like when I first started utilizing a lot of product. A little bit was good. A lot was better. That'S not true, since she had a little bit of moisture here before it kind of broke up some of that product. But here you can already see without its stunning. It already has some movement and texture to it. So what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na use my brush when I blow dry it I want to have somewhat of a loose blow-dry. I don't want to be overly styled and overly controlled, because again we are creating a little bit of a loose texture on the top. So when it use my blow dryer, I would actually do a wrap drying technique. So I'm gon na wrap this over to one side standing behind there, I'm going to switch my hands and now I'm on a wrap dress actually to the other side. The benefit of doing that is gon na. Take the root direction and push it to the right and to the level it's gon na, give it a little bit of natural volume. Now I'm not talking about teasing volume, but I'm talking about little bit of volume, so it looks natural as if it were to air dry just to give it a little bit of movement to it. You'Ve got, I believe it's Ginny fidgeting asking. I think so you could do this. If someone had a little bit finer or lower density, you could do it. Only thing I would watch out for is exposure of the scalp. I think you can take those shorter pieces. Maybe two shorter it'll expose too much and they'll make their hair look even finer than it already is. So would you necessarily do that? I'M gon na head off finder here Carly has a great amount of hair, so it gives me the ability to kind of make those shorter pieces short and it'd be okay, but someone's finer, low density. I might just do something like a balance layer square layer from front to back and then maybe create some texture by another method, an understudy making it short hey. Just in time. I think Justin Thomas was at hello Lenore. Federico thank Adam was on to right fertilizer, like the guys in our industry. I know that you guys know much. Mr. president, hey Zoey a lot of great feedback. Thank you couple of questions asking it would be different than channel cutting. I think you answered one question about point: cutting yeah. He was not even yeah yeah channel cutting everybody has the same words, but we have a different dictionary, and so I don't want to say one thing is channel cutting or not. Some people call this trench cutting you're, not anything, so I don't care, we call it more so than what the end result is really with her again. I wanted her to have short of its and longer of it's based off control, not off to something that was random, so with disciplining control. I allowed me to create a little bit of space and Nellie okay and we're going to cheat we're gon na go through this we're to point cut. Some of this give it a little bit of space and a little bit of movement to it, and I think I'm almost done with the blood drive portion, sherry popping popping back so mine is pretty easy to remember. It'S Clinton cuts hair puts a foot in. I only cut here too, you know I I feel like I want to do color, and I probably should I've been watching a lot of pretty little ombre and I feel like it makes me want to do color, so spending cuts here. To answer your question and then Lucas Tony Lu CAS do Andy why you can follow both of us on social media and kind of find out a little bit of updates about what we're doing so now, I'm going through and I'm using my fingers to lift it. Give it a little bit of space, give that little last bit of moisture out and seeing the hair for it actually, for she has a little bit of wave pattern. Anyways, I think if we wanted to actually use an iron, she said she wanted less less styling. So I created style, or I created a style by the haircut. If she told me everyday, she curls the top of her hair, with a lots more length actually maybe would have barely trimmed their hair and kind of left. The link that she had, but as far as what we wanted the end result for Carla. I don't think that she could actually put an iron in it right now and make it look awesome. I think she could only curled a little punk pieces which might look funny, but as far as wanting to curl the hair, I would have left everything longer and not necessarily cut a little bit shorter, very good question, Pam anything as a question. He says how much of a disconnect do you use on top in the long to short areas? Where is that more preference? So I think maybe how you got the link for the short bits yeah. So I could. What I could do is I could take. It was really really short. I could leave I'm really really long and the more separation from longer link to shorter link to edgier it's gon na be so like this is like super super long. It'S going to hang over really far on the side and it's gon na be a little more edgy than we really want it to be, and I don't necessarily want to be an edgy haircut. I want to be a functional haircut, and so what I did is I actually used the hair to parado is because I wanted me a similar story throughout the haircut, even though there was a disconnection, I wanted there to be something that tied everything together. So all the link at the parietal Ridge that is balanced, actually took that and cut a round cutting line for the short piece left, a piece out around cutting line vertically and layered. It left out a piece round vertical cutting line so that way it tied into the sides at each little piece. So there was a connection and there was a story. Another piece that I haven't cut, I'm gon na go back through I'm gon na. Take those and I'm gon na give them a little bit of space. So point cutting, there's, always a debate. When we get to point cutting and point cutting to me, it should be like hair spray. It'S like a tiny little bit of an adjustment to the haircut. It shouldn't, I don't really create a shape by point cutting. I actually create a strong checkable visual shape and then I go back and see and assess the hair once it's dry, then I can start making the space, as I see appropriate instead of when I here's wet clump together then making all these holes in it and Wishing I did in so here now that the hair is dry, I could take the hair and see where all the ends are and I can go through and create some space. So what I'm doing now is just closing my scissor on the ends of the hair, and my scissor is completely parallel to the hair. One of the reasons that I did actually apply blow drying to it is because I wanted to make sure the ends we're all controlled in going the same direction. So that way, when I point cut, I could take out the same amount of space. So how? What kind of adjustments would you make on the top area as far as cutting or skipping your guide, you can't add like a stronger up pattern in the front. I would make sure that again, like any kind of growth pattern now it needs to be longer gone. So if she had a irregularity and growth pattern in the front, then I would want to make that either longer gone. So when I, if I got to the front here, I would make sure if I were counting my sections that this last section would. These are my even sections, the longer ones, so I actually made me count backwards and start working backwards, leaving that front section now next section short that way, it had a longer link to it and we would have to worry about in any irregularities and growth pattern. Again so looking here at the bay and I've made some space and then at the very corner, here went ahead just a little bit more, so I can be pretty seamless as it drops. Stephanie Young has a question. It depends on what ethnicity we are talking about. I'M assuming African American, I was gon na assume, so if she had extra curly hair and it actually made an actual curl pattern which, from the base, if it started to make like a little spiral or like a little weak like a little spring, if it did That I would do a completely different haircut. I wouldn't do something where had a short, a piece in the longer piece, because I actually have pretty curly hair and for me, if someone cuts a shorter piece and longer piece, those two curls react totally differently, and so those two different curl patterns would react differently. They would look uneven and it would look more like a mistake than something that was on purpose and if we do anything creative, it needs to look like we've done something on purpose instead of it. Just so happened to look right so based off of that ethnicity. Being extra curly or my sister has extremely curly hair. I wouldn't do this you're gon na either just based on her curl pattern and the unevenness that would happen of the curls. Any kind of wave pattern somewhat helps out with a little bit of style because you start to see these little movements in the hair because her hair is actually wavy. So you know with her ethnicity I mean she could have straight hair or curly hair. It doesn't matter to me, but at the same time I want Street here to react. A certain way. Curly hairs gon na react a different way, a lot of its really based off of choice of length right, the shorter I make it the curlier it's gon na appear and the longer I make it the more weights gon na be on each individual curl. It'S gon na be longer. It also depends on the way that they wear their hair. So if she had extra curly hair and she decided to wear her hair with a relaxer in it, then absolutely I could do something like this grow. It might be crazy because they're shorter pieces, when the grow happens, it might be kind of wild so but it all depends. I think, if someone does they're relaxed would touch up all the time you know I would hook them up with this for sure. Okay. So here's my last bit of point cutting for the very front hairline. So as we notice now, everything is somewhat integrated into itself, especially when it's styled over to the side there. It gives a little bit of texture and movement to it if she wanted to make this a little bit edgy or she absolutely could and the way that she would do. That is maybe with the addition of some product. One last thing I'm going to do is the very first section that I cut I'm actually going to look at that section there and I'm gon na give it a little bit of space. This is the only short section. That'S actually going to live on the very top and be very visible, so I want to give that a little bit of texture and movement and space alright. So last few things I'm gon na do I'm gon na raise her up a little bit. Last thing we have to do is we're going to dial in her hairline and the connection point here that I cut vertically I'm gon na soften that and then so. I'M attorney to decide - and one thing I do want to adjust - is, as I cut vertically some of this didn't ever really reach to my cutting line. So one of the things that I can do is horizontally here. Take that last little bit of an edge. I could do two things one. I could actually take it vertically in my fingers and cut that corner off to me. I feel like the dangers of doing that is she does have this irregularity and growth pad in there. So I don't necessarily want to do that. So what I can do is leave her actual link that she has take it here in my comb and create a little bit of space horizontally and that's where I see the weight line. So that's where I want to attack it, and so, if you notice, I'm not going all the way back here to the back of the comb, because that's where that irregularity lives, and so that gives it a little bit of space. I didn't destroy the shape. If you were to pick it up and cross-check it, you would still see that, but there is a little bit more space there. Somebody the same thing here to the other side as I go through the top of that there's not as much of one here just based off previous haircut I'm, but I am gon na get a little space at the corner. Santa here did a lot of people that love the way. You teach your tone of voice, how you explain things. Thank You. Trisha Anderson who's, a graduate of sassy, London and 33 years in the business, is enjoying it so much it's awesome and then last little bit this little bit here I don't want her to have to deal with, and so we've seen Carla through her journey have longer Had a shorter hair, a lot of times she wore her down here in the front. One thing I want to do is give it a little bit of encouragement and direction to live to the side, and so I'm actually gon na over dick. This hair pull it away from the link that I want to keep and I'm just gon na adjust this one corner here and I'm gon na use just the edge of my scissor to make that Software's. It falls over the front, hairline still cutting a pretty strong line, but I want to have a little bit of space size H, a little bit the same thing here out to the side and what that's gon na do. If you kind of see how that reacts, there, it's gon na give for a little short to long push there to the front. That'S pretty okay! For the last little bits here, I'm actually gon na use my scissors here, they've a front hairline just to create a little bit of control, and so since we have something so soft here, what I want to do is just with the edge of my scissor. I want to take off this little bit of extra length that lives here at the very frontal. All the way up to where that short bit was what that'll do is give it a little bit of control to the front hairline. Now I don't want to do too much to where it looks like. I lined it up right. You don't want that either right, so I just want to be able to take off any excess that lives in front of the hairline still working soft again just the edge of her hairline. I do like these little feminine bits: here's what we always called them fangs feminine bits, whatever you want to call them, but I do like those it gives a little character and personality to them and then, here over the ear, I'm just gon na use, my scissor And I'm gon na cut around the ear. I feel like a lot of times, people when they're cutting women's hair, that short they're scared to cut around the ear. I I do believe it. It can look too masculine if they take it too high.
