Thanks for being Part Of The FSE FAMILY!
All right guys, so I'm back with the vlog sorry about the three day kind of hiatus. No videos came out, but I was in meetings for a few days. Nothing interesting to show you guys, but couldn't make a video, so we're back at. It really excited about this vlog because of the fact that a lot of people asked for pixie cuts, and I always do the one with the long top and it kind of flops over very disconnected. But really when I started learning hair. That was not a pixie cut, so today what I wanted to do is show you guys. A really short woman's cut, go at it with a ton of different techniques using a clipper, scissor trimmers. What else we use texture scissors yeah right. I know. Look next time excited all right cool all right, so we used scissors trimmers, texture scissors scissors over comb, clipper attachments. We used everything to create this look, so I want to show you guys the end result here. It is it's a little bit flatter spinning the Sun. Let me spice her up a little bit, but it's just kind of a Messier, but short haircut. Look, that's what a pixie cut is to me and I think you guys are going to like this. So I hope you do. Let me know in the comments below hit the like button share this video with all your friends and enjoy the video guys here goes our step by step, alright guys so sectioning for this cut is pretty simple, just taking out the Mohawk section and then drawing a Line down the division point of the head so to right above the ear, it's really just separating the front in the back, then I go through and I blow-dry working back and forth with the comb almost doing pretty much a flat wrap blow-dry to smooth the back Of the hair and then I'm going to go through with my clipper. This is the andis supras er that I've done a review on. So if you guys want to check that out, you can see that in a past video, but I'm using a number four attachment on that clipper and the triple zero blade on the clipper as well and just going through scooping the hair out. So I'm starting close to the scalp and then working my way out as I get past, the occipital bone just to build up a little bit of weight in the crown area, and this is really just removing the bulk and what I want you guys to know About this haircut and the technique that we're doing today is we're going to use multiple tools to create our end result. I think that a lot of people and I've talked about this before, but a lot of people get caught up in the fact that if they started a haircut with scissors, they have to finish it with scissors. I believe that you have multiple tools for a reason, so the Clipper goes through and it takes out the bulk very quickly and then I go through with with my scissor over comb knot to make it more perfect what I do with my scissor over comb. Is it gives it a little more of a natural feel where a clipper gives it more of a machine feel alright, so working the scissor over comb all the way up, keeping that weight in the crown? That'S a big key area to this haircut, making sure that you keep the head shape: um, nice and balanced. So now I'm going to go through and I'm going to wet the sides down and I'm going to work vertically out. So this is where I want to bring in the head shapes, so you guys can see the head sheets. I guess I should say, and I'm working vertically straight out from the head. What that's going to do is give me a little bit of weight towards the parietal Ridge, so you can see where that the elevation is lower towards the parietal Ridge and it's pretty much at straight out 90 degrees throughout the rest of the section I'm holding in My hand everything is going to the previous, so this is a traveling guide. I'M not trying to build up too much extra weight in the front of the head. If you wanted to you, could you just need to understand why that's happening so over directing everything's straight out back to the previous section, it's growing a little bit of weight, but not too much and then the very front. Everything comes straight out to me, which will give me a little extra weight which I'll deal with in the dry portion of the cut. So this is where I cut it wet now, I'm going to blow it dry and I'm going to do more detail work. So I'm taking it one section at a time and pretty much finishing those sections we're gon na use the tip of our scissor to work around the ear. If this was a real human, I would probably fold the ear down with my finger and cut around it. But I'm working that steady blade around the ear and around the hairline. So now we're working our way up the hairline and removing that weight that we pushed forward. So, like I've said in many videos in the past that sometimes I push weight forward to give me that solid line in the front. Now, if you don't like that solid line, you can always go in and just cut more of a PC hair line. If you like that, look better, I like the solid line right now I like having that solid shape with the messy texture on top. So that's what we're going for today so going through same thing, so most of the weight is sitting up at the parietal Ridge. Everything is coming straight out and slightly back to the previous section, and I'm just scooping the hair, so you'll notice that I always want to be combing the hair the same. This is one of the biggest mistakes that you'll see people making in haircutting is that they're combing isn't consistent. I combed the hair away from the face on the other side. So now, on this side, I'm combing the hair away from the face as well. I want to keep that consistency throughout the haircut, so just over directing it back that's going to push a slight bit of weight towards the front you can see there now I blow it dry and then I'll go through and do my dry detail work. Keeping consistency within my haircut to get the best result so just using that tip of that scissor, drawing whatever line I want. So if they want to leave a little bit of length around the ear, you can do that. That'S what's great about over direction and elevation and all that stuff you're putting weight where you want it, and then you can remove it later so going through taking out that hairline drawing that nice solid line in there. Now we talked about using multiple tools. This is why now I'm going to go in with my trimmer, so I got the line that I wanted now, I'm just detailing it even more. A trimmer is just like using a scissor. It'S just a clipper has multiple blades on it, as opposed to a scissor, which is one blade, so you're going to get a more solid line. If that's the effect you're looking for, then you go in with the trimmer. If you like, the way that this is or looks, then stick with that now, I'm just dusting around the edges you'll see kind of how that smoothes out the edges of the haircut. This is just another detail, a technique that I like to do with the trimmer on my shoulder haircuts men's cuts short women's cuts. It works really well to kind of define it. You look at how how we cut hair, we usually lift it up to create a shape well, um. Naturally, the hairs going to lay down when you have that shape. So, if you run the Clipper over top of it, you're actually kind of itching in that shape. Even more so just a cool technique to try out now I'm going to go through I'm going to work the round of the head working from short to longer in more of a triangle fashion. So you can see why don't you look at the either the bottom left hand, corner diagram or the top right hand corner which is going to show you that we're cutting our guide from the side point that we had before and just going through, but I'm using A point cutting technique now because I want to have a little more versatility, a little more texture in the top. This is my D b20 scissor before just so you guys. So I give you a tool breakdown. We used the blacksmith fit six and a half inch. Scissor for our scissor over comb: this is the DB 20 Mizutani scissor, it's a 5.7 inch. This is my go-to scissor gives for precision cutting or wet cutting pretty much in the salon so going through doing the point, cutting not over directing anything too far back. The only thing I really over dragged back is the very front portion. I know I'm wearing black. I know she has black hair, it's just kind of how this video worked out. So, if you're, having trouble figuring out the angle, um look at the diagrams that we have so just now. I also talked about consistent combing you'll notice that I'm combing the hair back towards me. The entire time so just make sure that anytime you're cutting hair you're consistently combing, because if I were to comb one side back towards me, the other side forward, I'm going to get different lengths within the haircut so just going through over directing it back to the Previous, so it's a traveling guide and then at the very end I just over direct it a little bit more back just to push a little extra weight to the front, because I want to cut into the front in a different way. So that will make sense in a couple seconds there's that lone piece of hair again, so we go through finish up the point cut right in the front of the head: it's not looking like much now, but I'm going to go through and I'm going to blow-dry It this is the 3 3 8ys part comb, and just so you guys remember: all of these tools are available on free salon, education, comm. So if you're looking to upgrade your tools, we have everything that I'm using alright. So I take the DB 20 scissor and I just do a little bit of slight cutting into the bang area, just to add a little bit of separation and and take the length a little bit shorter. So just deciding how much texture I want to put into the front of the haircut now we're going to take our Mizutani type, Z, dual scissor and just slide through the top working at a diagonal. A lot of people do this with a scissor, but I just find doing it with a texture. Scissor is a little bit, has a little bit more safety to it and also just removes the bulk that you're looking for not really cutting too many lines in the haircut. So that's pretty much the end of the cut. What I'm going to do is go through with the blow dryer just to add a little bit of volume to it, and I go in with picado carve and add the texture. It'S really just like a cream wax that I use on a lot of shorter hair cuts, so I'm going through just piecing that out with my fingers, and that is the end result of the haircut hope you guys enjoy this haircut. Definitely let me know in the comments below thanks all right guys. It feels good to be back making videos. I hope you guys like that. One make sure you, let me know in the comments what you think also hit that, like button hit, the share button share.

Comments
Kristen Coulson: Coming from a girl who had tried to cut my own hair in high school and ended up having to get my hair shaved because it was so bad.... This video was simple enough that I decided to try it out and do myself. I don't recommend doing the same ( Just very broke and desperate for a change) ...but it actually turned out great! I love it, and it is so easy to manage with my fatigue from lyme disease. If a girl who has absolutely no idea what she is doing can follow along, then I'm sure this is more than helpful for real stylists unlike myself. :) Very informative.
Caroline Osborn: I used your video to cut my daughter's hair and the reviews were shocking--one person claimed it looked like a $400 cut. I credit her cute face and your great instructions. thanks!
Valquíria Fernandes: I love this video, it's easy to follow and the cut looks gorgeous. I'm not actually a hair professional, I just cut my own hair really, and even as a layman I've managed to do this pixie cut to myself with considerable success after watching this tutorial. Great instructions, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Angela Acheé: Matt....this is the best haircut video in the history of the world. I needed this video. This a frequently requested haircut at work. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the crown and front. Thank you so much! I'm very proud of you.
Jennifer Sadowski: I love this cut and I have been using it on a client for a while. It always turns out great and my client always loves it. Matt, thank you for the great education you alway provide! You’ve helped me out a lot in the past 5 years. Much appreciation and gratitude for you!
Sierra R: My grandmother is wheelchair bound and it's too much trouble for my family to take her to a salon, so I cut her hair. I used this video and it was very easy to follow, she loves it! Thank you so much!! I never went to school for cosmetology nor do I do this as an occupation, I actually work on ac and heating lol
Tina Speas: Thank You, Matt!! I'm a middle aged n' crazy broke nana needing and wanting to cut my own hair!! With patience, good scissors and combs, mirrors, and watching your video another 100 times [joking, lol] I know I'll be able to do this!! Thank You!!
Diana Ferrer: In quarantine times 2020 looking for videos to help me cut my mom’s hair. She’s desperate i will try this which will probably take me a very long time and i hope she doesn’t regret it. This was one of the best pixie tutorials I’ve seen, very precise! God bless and stay safe!
металл Барби: Love it thank you exactly what I needed to give my daughter her pixie cut
Hope Moskal: Whenever I ask a hairdresser for a pixie, this is what I want, but never get. I'm saving this video to show to the next hair dresser I try.

Scorpion2Shy: I used your instructions and even my son said it looked good. Works well when wearing a helmet and taking said helmet off, just shake hair through with fingers and I am all set. Thank you.
LadyJ23A: Love it!! Thanks for all the work you do! Extra points for the drone and those awesome shots!
Tonya Williams: Thank you, went in to get my bob shortened and a few layers. Somehow ended up with a lopsided total uneven in weird patches pixie. Went back to have fixed by a manager and was stuck back with the same nut case who made it worse. After all that I went to the local school cause I couldn't afford another cut and luckily got a pretty talented student who listened and fixed most everything, particularly in the back as she said it is getting so short in front that I should let it grow some. BUT it just won't style or sit right and I think I am just going to go and make a few tiny snips here and there to make it move more towards this as it is very close to this except my bangs are a bit shorter. AH! Thanks I have a little hope for tomorrow morning.
Amber Cloud: your videos are clear and easy to watch. I like your voice overs while you cut. thank you for sharing. and I am excited about the products you use. great stuff. thank you! p.s. do you have videos for mixed texture hair, striagh toward the front and crown and wavy under Neath through the occipital, some fine and some course. it's difficult hair to work with for me. I cut my daughter's hair but... any tips are helpful.

정은해: Would love to see a haircut that's like a pixie, but a bit shorter, similar to this! More full in the crown, short on top with lots of texture and a bit of a softer broken up fringe!

SinNicho: Love it!!
Lindsay Tanner: I actually really liked this tutorial! Got any shaved sides videos?
Carly Datson: Christ that's a lot of tools. I do my own, dry with 2 mirrors and £2 scissors. It's not the tools, its the artist that makes the piece. It's the salons mission to make even the simplest tasks look unobtainable without a paid professional. I learned this 19 years ago and saved a fortune.
911theaable: Loved it Matt... You rock
kimberly coleman: It"s a great hair cut!!!
Ruth: Thank you! Love this video
michael nofchissey: You should get your own salon and i bet you would be really successful
Neslie T: I wish you lived near where I am. I have not found any good hairstylist that can possibly cut/style/handle my thick Asian hair, no matter how well they present their salon or their names on their websites. It is so frustrating. I just had a pixie cut and the ends look blunt instead of tapering off for that lighter feel and layered look.
Francis Nava: This is exactly how I want my hair, but it has to grow out a little more to get this cut
Ke Ke: Can u please explain how to determine the parietal ridge for parts on the front. I am in beauty school and I need to know a good way to make sure of where it's at. Do u use middle of the eyes as a guide on end of eyebrows?
Linda Thelander: Love that cut!!!
Nara Rodriguez: me encantaría entender todo lo que dices y que entendieras todo lo que digo XDD 1- me encanta este tipo de videos. estoy considerando un pixie en un futuro no tan cercano. pero por mi tipo de rostro aun no me convence.. 2- no entendí porque es el real pixie. ¬¬ 3- deberías ponerle nombre a tus chicas jajaja XD 4- por que empieza y termina un video estando afuera?
