Thanks for being Part Of The FSE FAMILY!
It'S fall what's up guys welcome to today's vlog today. What we're going to go over is a nice short pixie haircut and the great thing about this pixie haircut is it's very versatile. So this is the cut, so you can see it's kind of at the outside conditions going on, but nice side-swept feel to it. Coolest part about this. Pixie cut that I know you guys are going to be able to use pretty much every day in the salon. The fact that this could be flipped either way, so it allows versatility in the cuts you can wear it up and over. She can wear it to one side or the other. It'S cut symmetrical, even though it looks like it's sitting asymmetrically. So I want to get start with the step-by-step. If you have any questions, make sure you post them in the comments below. I will try my best to answer them. Let'S get started so the sectioning for this cut is very simple. It'S a rectangle! On top of the head, we use the parietal Ridge as a focus point and then straight across the center crown, and then I built a triangle off of that which you can see. That point of the triangle goes down to the occipital bone, which is where we're going to start taking our first parting. So we take our first parting slight diagonal forward, just to kind of get that movement in the direction plus a diagonal parting is a lot easier to work with than a vertical it's just more comfortable. So as I work across the head shape, I'm going to be working in a slight diagonal forward, working straight out from the head, so the most part we're working 90 degrees straight out, and then I could see that my finger kind of tucks its way down. I'M tucking my finger because the head shape is shifting that way. I want to keep it at 90 degrees. It keeps a nice seamless feel to the layering and the only build up of weight. That'S happening is right at that top occipital bone area, which is where the head shape starts to curve away. That'S where you get that build up of weight, which is great. We want a little bit of weight, build up in the crown area. So now I'm working with a traveling guy to work all the way around the head shape. No other directions really happening just slightly back to the previous. The reason for that is, I want to create that nice seamless feel around the head, shape and working those round layers, so everything coming out is giving a very seamless feel the weights not being pushed or shifted anywhere, and this is going to create a nice base Platform for the top of the haircut that's going to really be what this haircut is all about is creating a symmetrical feel so that the haircut can work its way back and forth, and you can wear it in a lot of different ways. So we just work our way all the way across you can see it gets a little bit longer towards the front temple area. That'S just a natural kind of feel for me, as I'm working around the head shape, I like to keep a little bit of length in the front and now the biggest difference on the right hand. Side is that my fingers are pointed down. The reason I choose to point my fingers down is so that my combing stays consistent. As I worked the left-hand side of the haircut the entire time, I was combing all the new section, any parting I took. I took the new hair and I pushed it towards the guide, so I want to do the same thing on the right hand, side as well, so I take my parting and I comb the new hair towards the guide line. This keeps all of the weight distribution in your haircut consistent, a lot of people when they first start cutting hair. They end up with one side longer than the other and a lot of the times. It has nothing to do with necessarily losing your guide. It'S just how you're combing the hair to the guide and if you start pushing your guide away, then you start creating a shorter side of the haircut and then once I'd end up stims up longer than the other. So you want to make sure that that consistency is in the combing. The combing is the hardest part of haircutting. The cutting part is easy, so you want to make sure that you stay consistent. Keep the structure in there take small sections and work your way around. The head so we're just finishing up the side you can see. I really want you to focus on how thick those sections are that I'm taking. I could rush it. I could grab all that hair and condense it and pull it all together. But what would happen? Is would completely change the consistency of the shape it would push a lot more weight forward. So what I'm doing is just grabbing half inch section by half inch section working my way around the head and getting that consistent result. You can see, naturally it's over directed back a little bit, so we get a little bit of length now I'm going to go through and cross-check. Somebody said something on a previous video made. A comment about cross-checking totally want to show this more often show you guys what it's all about. So we went diagonal forward through the entire haircut. So now I'm going to go diagonal back and just cross check it and make sure that the lengths are exactly where I want it. You shouldn't be cutting much when you cross track. If you go through and it looks like there's a lot of weight in one area and go back through the way that you originally cut it and then go back through and cross-check it again, you can see as I cross-check it, I'm just dusting the ends not Really changing too much in the haircut now I'm going to do a flat, rep blow drive. What I like to do is just see the consistency in the weight because a lot of times when you see you hair, wet it's, it lies to you a little bit. It looks a lot better than it does when it's dry, so I want to make sure that the weight distribution is right. So I go through. I flat wrap it blow it dry and then I go in cut the top. It'S also a good technique because you're going to blow dry the head anyways, so I blow dry it nice and smooth. And now, when I finish the top, all I have to do is load it at the top, so you're kind of you're doing the steps a little bit different but you're, taking just as many steps as you go through it. So now I've got my Donald Scott twist. This is a really cool razor. It'S got a hundred percent cutting side and a 25 percent cutting side. So if you want to add texture to a haircut, you flip it and you can do some texturizing right now, I'm using 100 % car a carving side to go through and just cut now. What makes this a versatile top and makes it so you can flip it back and forth. Is that we're going to cut it, bring everything over direct it to one side cut it at the length that I want. So I grabbed a little bit of guide line from the opposite side. The underneath that I cut already - and I do a heavy stroke with the razor which gives me a lot of texture, a lot of movement and nice soft layers over direct everything over to me, and I do the same thing on the opposite side. Taking that section bringing it over to me and cutting it at a guideline, so we create a different guide on each side and then we go through over directing everything over. What this is doing is building up the heaviest point in the very center of the cut. So you'll see you can actually kind of see that v forming in the very front of the haircut. That'S because we pushed all that weight to the center and that's what makes this cut of this technique so unique. Now we're going to use our back Otto! This is the cloud9 blow out serum. I really love this products, nice and light, so I just want to really smooth out the hair have a little bit of hold to it. Give that shine and then we'll go in with a texture product at the end. So just blow-drying giving a little bit of lift. You can see I'm using a vent brush instead of a paddle brush this one. I want to have a little bit of volume in the top so allowing that air to kind of get under the brush. A lot of people use same brush for everything you want to make sure that your brush goes with your technique. So right now I want to not put as much tension on the hair go through nice and light building that volume and now I'm using the viber straight iron, which vibrates as it irons, which is such a cool feature because it allows less damage on the hair. Helps kind of separate the hair as it vibrates over it, so you're getting it smoother faster. It'S just a really cool iron. I love using that tool. So just smoothing out the very front, you'll notice, I'm not really. I didn't have to run the iron over everything. I smooth it with a brush and then I just polished out that front fringe area, and now the finishing touch is our carve. This is picado texture icing, so it's a real texture cream and I put that throughout the hair brush it into the hair. A little bit and just really show off all that texture that we created with the razor and the precision feel to the bottom hope you guys like this cut.

layla torres: I love your videos so much <3 I would love to ask if you can do a video of the best product for each kind of hair (straight, wavy, curly, kinky) and how to know what is the best hair cut for each kind or maybe face! for men & woman.. and I have another question, how can I grantee that my hair won't get damage or tired if I want to change my hair color? Ps: my hair is long and curly and has dark brown nature color! so I would love to do some light color without any damage! Thank you :)

Dee Dee: (I've been subscribed since almost the beginning) this cut is amazing I love that it's lengthy and versitile
Liz A: I've been to several salons over the years, expensive ones, cheap ones, and NO ONE sections hair like this. My hair is now short with a natural wave. I wanted a trim with the weight removed from the sides and my bangs left alone. She literally gathered my bangs and cut them with the hair!! She sectioned nothing, just grabbed and cut. I could do that at home. So frustrated with the loads and loads of people who think they can cut hair, but never educate themselves and clearly don't give a crap about their work.
Mariah Pruden: Can you do a video of that same cut but using shears instead of a razor for the top section? I LOVE this cut! I'm a student and seems more than half of my clients come in wanting short cuts and womens short cuts are my current kryptonite ♀️ thanks! Your videos are amazing teaching tools!
Constanza Sánchez: Hi, I love your channel, I'm thinking of getting a pixie haircut so I've watched almost all of your videos... I was wondering if you could make a tutorial of Portia de Rosi's hair where she has like a long wavy side and the other short, the one at The People's Choice Awards, she had a blue dress... ❤️ Thank you
Kirsty: This makes me want to cut my hair off again!!! Miss having a pixie
Julia Walsh: Wonderful and awesome demo!
erick Perez: Son de mucha ayuda tus vídeos, gracias por compartir, saludos desde Durango, México.
JT Conspiracy: this haircut is awesome! I was a little worried about the weight around the ear when you were cutting but it just fit well. what would you recommend to do around an ear that is super close to the hair line? like some clients hair grows almost from the back of their ear!
Stevi Watson: Did you leave this more disconnected or when you did your top section did you pull a bit of the side as a guide? Amazing cuts!! As a junior stylist i have learned soo much from your channel!

Kristina Apontemarini: if the client wants the hair more tapered on the sides and the back how would you taper it , but leaving the length and the top the same way?
Maria Jackson: Can I ask you a question? I want to get my hair a nice haircut after how many years but I am not sure what to do. I have some pretty tight curls with an oval face and I would like to go as short as possible this time. Would you suggest a reverse bob haircut and what kind of haircuts would fit for me based on the description above?
SoulPrints: I wish I had this hair and the haircut !!!
sarahann_xo: Love it!
Lisanne Wieringa: I have a pixie cut and I love it when the hairdresser cuts and styles it for me. I bought the exact same hair paste that she always uses in my hair (Joico Structure Paste) to give it volume and structure. However, it never looks nearly as good as when she does it. What is the best technique to use a hair paste? I always knead the paste through my hair as if I'm kneading bread dough.
Aristanty Tanty: I love the Pixie haircut, love it
Adela Alvarez: me encanta tu trabajo!
Slim Kat: Beautiful! Very nice cut!
Marina Merchant: Thank you! Do you think this haircut is hard to do on yourself?
Elaina Lynn: I do love this cut but i must ask one thing as you went a bit fast and spoke more on the carving comb than how you decided to really establish the tops length with the razor at the beginning. Would love to see a slowed down version of the razor cutting if you could. Do keep up the great work, as a newly licensed stylist i enjoy learning much from your videos. Short cuts don't seem so daunting anymore, thank you.
Angie Henry: Beautiful hair cut!
hayden51773: thank you so much. used this tutorial and gave my 12 yo old nice a badass cut
Gisela Coello: Me agrada muchísimo el estilo.Gracias. Saludos cordiales desde España.
Guadalupe Tapia Gomez.: hermoso corte de cabello , gracias.
Ernest Garcia: Wow excellent job.it looks so beatifull.
Fabiana Porto: Just Amazing!
Alicia Green: Is it possible you could make a video of a wedge haircut? I have A LOT of older women requesting it and it ends up taking me forever to cut because I'm not 100% sure how to.
