All right guys, so I'm finishing up the Edit on today's vlog. I'M really excited to show you guys this step-by-step video. Today we did an asymmetrical pixie haircut with a tapered edge. This is the end result, so nice and short tapered up longer front everything's disconnected. So I think you guys are really going to enjoy this cut. I don't want to waste any time. Let'S get to this step-by-step video of today, and I hope you guys are enjoying this vlog. Let me know what you think below in the comments hit the subscribe button and remember new video every day at 10 a.m. so make sure that you tell your friends let's get started here. We go alright guys, so we're going to start off by taking a right-hand side parting. But if your guest parts on the left-hand side, then just do it on the left-hand side, then we take from mid crown in the back down to behind the ear. That'S really just to part that off and then I take along the parietal Ridge to create that rectangular shape now. You'Ll notice that I left out the entire right hand side of the park and I just sectioned off that rectangle on the left hand, side, which is our heavy side of the haircut. Now, I'm working down center back creating my guideline for my traveling guide that I'm creating so everything's being over directed back to the previous section throughout the entire back side of this haircut, so you'll notice, my finger angle is shifting a little bit more towards the head Shape but really I'm just following the head shape with my fingers. So even though it appears that I'm making I'm taking the hair tighter to the head at this point, I am NOT I'm just following the head shape down so working palm to palm traveling guide. You can see that, even though I'm in the round of the head right now, I'm not over directing the hair backwards, I'm just following that head shape, be working with a traveling guide is the hardest thing that you can do in haircutting, because it's so hard to Stay consistent throughout the haircut so just make sure that you're really following that guy, that you see the guide and you're not taking too much hair at once, so that you can stay consistent with your haircut. I had a question a couple weeks back about um. How do you know that you're over directing it to where you need to over direct it to so? My answer to that would be make sure that when you bring that hair back - and you see your guide line, that you see a nice solid line, if that line looks diffused at all or it looks like it has rough edges, that means that you've grabbed too Much hair in your guide line and you're over directing your guide, your guide should look very, very solid, so just make sure a key factor with that. Don'T just look for that darkness coming through your section and cut make sure that it's a solid line that you're seeing through the hair, now we're going to work scissor over comb, making sure that steady blade stays with the bone of my comb and I'm just using That comb to lift and go through the hair, I'm using the wider teeth. This is my YS Park. 3:39 comb, I'm also using my Mizutani scissor. It'S a six inch scissor, I'm in love with every Mizutani scissor that I own. I have about twelve of them. So every single one of them is great, so definitely check them out on free salon, education. If you're looking for new scissors now we're working through, I like using a six-inch scissor at minimum four scissor over comb, because I can just get more hair in my hand. At a time - and then I now that I've done that scissor work home detail, I wet the hair again and now I'm going through and cutting the opposite side the right-hand side and to be completely honest with you guys I this haircut, I did all weekend long. So I actually rewetting cut this side on a completely different day, so I was trying to get this video done for you guys over the weekend and and it was just taking multiple days. So that's another good thing about staying, consistent and making sure you're working with true guidelines, because you could leave a haircut for an entire day and come back to it and it's still going to be where it needs to be. I guess so. Alright, we're working through you'll notice, um a couple things change, I'm working through I'm scooping, underneath the hair still pushing that new hair towards the guide and still working palm to palm through the haircut. That keeps me consistent as I'm cutting now we're going to work with a traveling guide here as well, but we're going to go from section two to one and then three to two and then four and five are all going to come back to three. So I hope that makes sense for you guys. I wanted to do this diagram for you, but this is our over direction so that we keep a little bit of weight in to the front. So here is our section number one that we cut. I'M now cutting on top of my fingers because of comfort. So working my way down, that's section one! Then we work two two two goes back to one, so it's a slight over directions going to push a little bit of extra weight forward. Finding my guideline now, the top part of that section you're going to see that over direction because the head shapes moving away. So we're going to get a heavier weight line throughout the top of the section. And now I'm going to scoop everything and everything is going to come back to section three, so we're cutting three then shifting four then bringing back five and then that gives us that extra weight in the front / direction is such a big part of haircutting. But it's really important to make sure that you understand how far you're over directing hair we've talked about in a couple of the previous vlogs about the fact that if you over dragged hair too far you're going to push too much weight. This is a good example of just enough weight to work with leader. Now we're going to go through. This is the crown of the head. So I separate the front in the back I've let out that little rectangle shape that we took out of there and now I'm going to build up a nice blend, but with a little bit heavier weight line into the back. So everything's coming back towards me. Still cutting with that same guide as we used in the back but blending in the crown working palm to palm. This is on a rotating kind of axis. So, let's say pie shaped sections or you know, triangle shape sections throughout the back and blend that now we're going to work with a stationary guide, and this is going to create more of a you - could call it a triangular shape in the front, but we're over Directing pushing a ton of weight forward to finish out the haircut so working on top of my fingers, you can see my finger angle is following the head shape in the back. It'S going to leave a little bit of a longer point towards the parting which I like to have a little bit of a heavier shift at the park. So it makes it a little bit more versatile and allows it to lay a little heavier. Sometimes people layer that too much and then it just looks too kind of spiky. And I don't know the words, but it just doesn't look right to me always so going through. That is the front of the haircut. Now, I'm going to start the blow-dry using my 3:39 comb, I like blow-drying with a comb on a pixie haircut because it does soften the hair. This is something that, in the salon, brian has asking me how you get a mannequin so flat. Well, this is anybody with any hair type you're trying to smooth out their hair. You can use a 3:39 comb and then I go through with my picado vibra straight iron and iron out. The rest of the haircut, give it a little nice shine and polish. Now we're going to work with our Mizutani solid. This is a 7 inch scissor, like I said, before 6 inch minimum for me with scissor over comb. We got our YS Park 209 comb we're going to go through. That'S got nice wide teeth, we're working with dry hair. At this point, I'm going to scoop up the hair, tap it down into the comb and then work that 7 inch scissor all the way up the head shape. Now I love a seven-inch scissor for dry cutting as long as it's a good 7-inch scissor, because a lot of times with a long blade, you lose a lot of power in the cut with the Mizutani scissor. You don't have to worry about that. This has the ball bearing axis on in the screw, so it's got a really nice smooth, open and closed and again with a lot of 7-inch scissors. You couldn't do that with the tip either, because the tip is just a little bit weaker, so it pushed the hair. We'Re just going to go around detail. Work is the key to this cut. A lot of people would just leave it finish blow it dry and get the client out. I think the detail work is what separates you know. Good hairdressers from great hairdressers so make sure that you're working through putting in that detail work. I love. This is one of the newer scissors from Mizutani. This is a titanium version, so it's a $ 50 upgrade to get the titanium. Black version of the scissor makes the scissor a lot stronger. So I like that, just working through now, I'm going to go into my back to my 6 inch scissor and work that detail work around the ear most the time when I'm working around the ear I like to use a little bit smaller scissor just so I Have more control we're going to straighten out that sideburn area and I'm just working that state, so the steady blade is going against the skin during that, so it doesn't. So I don't have to worry about cutting anybody, so I just work through so make sure that if you haven't gotten down the fact that just your thumb moves, you want to work on that first and then start working that steady blade against the skin. To do your detail, work working along the skin, adding in those details, that's where / direction came in and played a key role in what we're creating now we over directed the hair to add that extra weight in the front. So then, I can go through and add that detail work in again / direction on the top push the weight down, but that doesn't finish out the haircut you want to go in put in that detail. Work scissor over comb is one of my favorite techniques. There is because it's just there's just something about combing up hair and watching it fall and drop into a perfect formation. So it's almost like you're going through and just checking your work as you go, but adding that soft detail to it. So now I used carved from Brocato. This was this: is our texture cream wax that I really I've fallen in love with? I use it on almost every cut, that's shorter to get that texture and movement, but you can see cool haircut.
