How To Cut A Disconnected Pixie Haircut In 2020 | Hair Tutorial

What'S up guys welcome to today's video so on the video today, what we're gon na be working on is a disconnected pixie haircut. The cool thing about this is it's a super modern look, a lot of fun to cut we're gon na combine scissors and razors in this haircut, so you're gon na see multiple different ways to create texture and movement and everything. So let's get started alright guys. So now to begin this technique, what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na brush the hair completely back off of the face, and I'm gon na figure out where my guest is gon na part, her hair, so that's! The first thing you want to figure out is it gon na be on the right side, is gon na be on the left side, in this case, we're working on a left hand, side parting. Now, once I figure out where she's gon na part, her hair, that's where I'm gon na base all of my sectioning off of so now, I'm gon na wrap the hair around the head, get the hair flown in that direction and then part off from there going Around to the edge of the eyebrow or pretty much where that parietal Ridge area is now I'm gon na section that top off in a way and that's gon na, be my disconnection. That'S gon na fall over the rest of the haircut so I'll clip that away and then I'm just gon na section off the left-hand side, I'm going to take a piece from that. So we've got our parting, but because it's a disconnected cut, I want the entire top disconnected. So I have that triangle base. Now. I'M just gon na take a sliver triangle of the left-hand side, just to bring that to the edge of the eyebrow as well, and I'm gon na clip that piece off and away, and that is the sectioning for this cut pretty simple as we're working through now. I did talk about the fact that I'm gon na use a razor and scissors in this cut, so you can see. I have a razor tool in my hand. I just switched to the fine toothed version of it. It'S the Donald Scott carving comb. It'S available on free salon, education.com 39 bucks. It'S got a comb on it and it's got two different types of razors, one that cuts a hundred percent and the other side cuts fifty percent. So I'm gon na start off cutting with my scissor. But I've got that tool in my hand, to use it later on in the cut, so I can use it whenever I want. If I want to take out a little bit of weight, somebody's got super thick hair. I can be taking this section, cut a blunt line and then just hit it with that razor to soften it with a 50 percent carve side. If I want as well so there's so many different opportunities that you have when using that razor, so we're working diagonal back cutting in between my fingers now you could go in with a clipper if you wanted to, if you're more comfortable with that, you could take It a little bit tighter to the head if you want to. Obviously this is a versatile style and you guys can put your touch on it. For me, I like working in between my fingers, just working that head shape and now I'm kind of showing you that my fingers are pointed, and my finger angle is parallel to that parting. So I'm working my way back on the head shape, keeping my fingers parallel to the parting as I work now. What I'm gon na do is I'm gon na continue doing this type of sectioning throughout this cut, and then, when I get to the other side, I'll explain a little bit more of what I'm doing all right. So now. One thing I want to point out, as I get to the edge of this haircut right back, where the crown of the head is now: I'm gon na create a stationary guide, because what I want to do is I want to push some extra weight in. So one thing I want you guys to kind of focus on is that stationary guide, if I start pulling everything over to it, what's gon na happen to the rest of the hair it's gon na get longer, so as that hair gets longer, it starts to build Up some weight, so I want to build up weight in the crown area to really fit the shape of the head, so the heaviest part will be in the very center back of this cut, as I go so just work in that stationary guide. You'Ll see that as I bring each section over, I bring it over to that stationary guide and the hair starts to get longer and longer towards the center of the cup, all right. So now, once I finish working through that top crown area - and I pushed all that weight over now - I'm gon na continue into the nape and just keep working those rounded sections throughout the bottom of the head. Until I get to that back right corner of the head right behind the ear, so one thing to keep in mind as you're working into this nape area and right behind the ear. Your finger angle is now pointing diagonal forward, as opposed to diagonal back, which is how we work the whole left hand side. So you want to make sure that your elevation makes sense and is the same as the opposite side. Otherwise, you're gon na end up with extra weight right here behind the ear. Now I'm gon na show you guys a technique as I go through this to go through and cross-check your haircut back. The other direction, which will help remove any of that extra weight that you created, but just to be safe and and to try to be as consistent as possible, focus on that elevation as you come around the corner, so right here, you're gon na see where I Start to move diagonal back to connect the two lengths, so I've got my length in the nape which is down at the bottom of my finger right there. So I'm just gon na connect to that line to build that consistency before I move on to the rest of the right side. So now we start right in the temple area and I'm gon na work, diagonal back and just connect both sides together to finish off the bottom part of the haircut. So just like, we did on the opposite side on the left-hand side, we're gon na now. Do the same thing on the right-hand side by building a stationary guide and pulling everything over to it to push maximum amount of weight over to the opposite side. So you'll see all of that length building up in the very center of this cut. So it's almost like a v-shape with the weight alright. So now we finished that up. You can see that a little bit of heaviness in that Center v-shape. So now what I'm gon na do the beauty of the carving comb is. It has a razor on both sides, so I just slide my hand up in the hair, and I work that razor back and forth to help remove a little bit of bulk and create some texture in the haircut now we're gon na do the same thing. Just a little bit on top of the fingers just work in that razor back and forth. So now we're gon na let off the top you'll see that crazy disconnection that's already happening, and now we're gon na cut the top to really fit this haircut and create that disconnection so the way that we're gon na work. The top of this haircut is working. Everything straight back to a stationary guide again so taking a horizontal sections or vertical. However, you want to call it straight across the top of the head, bringing them back to that guide line, and then I'm gon na cut with this scissor, I'm gon na cut a blunt line across that gets the length off for me, but I don't want this Haircut to have a blunt feel to the top of it. I want it to have a more messy textured feel so once I get through there cutting that blunt line, I go back through with the carving comb and we're gon na. Do that point cutting technique that I just showed you guys through the back? It'S just a back and forth motion using that hundred percent cutting side in the 50 percent cutting side and you can see how it shatters that line and creates that explosion of texture throughout the top of the haircut. So now I take another section parting across and bring it back to that stationary guide. What that's gon na do as I pull that hair back and I cut it. It'S creating length into the front so where a lot of people make a mistake and where it doesn't become disconnected, is they follow across the top and they blend everything into the sides? You want this to kind of fall over almost like a waterfall over the side of the haircut and that's gon na create your modern feel that disconnection and really make this haircut unique and stand out. So I over direct everything back a back and forth motion with the razor you could just cut the whole top of the razor if you wanted to, but I like to do that blunt cut, get the hair, nice and fresh then go through and just soften it With that point cutting technique, you can see how much length is really getting pushed into the front there, and now I'm going to do the same thing on the side as I bring that back as well. So look at that disconnection. It'S got a really cool feel to it. We'Re gon na mess around with that in a little bit, so I do the same thing on the opposite side. This is our weak side, but I still want that disconnection in there. So I go through a point cut with the scissor create a nice blunt line, grab my guide from that Center crown area and then I'll go through with the carving comb and create that texture that movement. So you can see a pass back and forth as I work that line and then, when I comb it down, you're really gon na see how that week gets pushed forward that length that goes forward. And then I can go in with my carving comb, and this is the beauty of having it in your hand, already just go through. There rabbit use that hundred percent cutting side and really define what I want that link to look like we'll do a little bit more of that in the dry cut as well. Now you can see all the disconnection all the layering, all the movement that's happening. So I'm just finishing up the technique around the face. Now. One of the things that I found about myself in my personal style is that I love kind of the mixture between Tom of texture, but then also precise lines. So I want to go through in this cut modernize it a little bit by creating these precise lines, but then go in and shatter the top and have it kind of fall over. So, for me like having a fully messy haircut is cool too, but I like kind of showing off artistic ability and just precision, ability, precision, cutting throughout the cut and then just have that texture. So it shows that the the haircut is fun as well. So now you can see that disconnect the top really nice. Now, I'm gon na go through with 100 % cutting side and the razor and cut through it. Just like that, to remove some of that length throughout the cut and really just customize it um, you can use this hair or this razor on dry hair. It works really well. The biggest difference between the carving comb and a lot of other razors is the blades. Are super thick so um that helps a lot and I'm always using a fresh blade when I go in and cut on, dry hair, so a brand-new blade sharper than a scissor goes through cuts, the hair really really nice. You don't have to worry about any damage of the hair, so you can see that disconnection falling over. That'S that waterfall effect that I'm talking about using that 50 % carve side really skinnies it up. So you can see that disconnection underneath, but then you have that hair kind of flowing and falling over a little bit of precision again adding nice lines to this cut right in that fringe area. So, even though it's full of texture, it still has a purpose. Still has reasoning behind everything that we're doing so again go through 100 % cutting side finishing it up and now we're gon na go in to finish it off at the joy Co. Joy mayst. This is a medium hold hairspray, so I'm gon na spray. That in add a little bit of definition, separation show off that texture and then the last thing that I'm going to do is take a smoothing iron and grab some of those disconnected pieces and just twist them out to showcase. You know the different style. The different look of this haircut, i fine-tuned it with a little bit of last-minute detail work with my scissor work that hairline work that neckline a little bit and then this is our end result.
