Headmasters How To - Short Hair Styling

Hi, my name is Ollie, I'm from the Headmaster's procession team. This is my lovely friend Katie here and I want to demo three beautiful looks that you can wear with short hair. I think one of the main problems that people have with committing themselves to short haircuts is they feel, like they're limited about what they can do with it. There'S three essential tools you need to be able to achieve. These looks the first one is a small Tong from small grips and thirdly, a pastiche brush. For all these looks I've prepped, Katie's hair with some Paul Mitchell super sculpt and I've cocktailed. My tube spelt with some super skinny serum. This just has a little bit of shine to the hair, so my first look, I'm working on is a 60s inspired Edie Sedgwick field, we're going to keep this flat smooth fringe, but we're going to build height into the crown area here. So we're working a teardrop section through the top of her hair. So my point is just finishing as the head moves around to the back to where her jawline is going to finish with a hair. So I'm just going to separate the hair within that teardrop and clip the hair out the way open the clamp of the tongue and catch the end of the hair and smooth it to the ends and then roll it down to the root leave. For a few seconds, so making sure the heat penetrates through the hair and let go take your second section again clipping the hair out the way so you're only focusing on the area. You need to Tong taking your tongue and clamping it into the middle of her hair and then move the tongue around with the hair so you're, starting to work that movement in and again roll that down. And then. Finally, with your last section, taking your tongue and pinching the hair and rolling it back down, okay, so now I'm just going to do the final touches to the look making sure the hair is tucked behind the ears. Putting a bit of spray on the end really helps smooth that hair into place and then just use the spray to let it set into place to finish off the fringe, I'm just going to run the ions over the hair. So as I pull the yarn through, I'm just going to bend slightly so the ends kick in and then I'm just going to finish off with some foaming / maid just to catch again those little windy areas through the front and there we go. My finished 60s inspired look okay, so I'm going to show you my second look. I want to create a finger wave but make it more on trend. So I'm going to take a section through the top here. We'Ve already got our parting in place, and I'm just going to take this section through the top of the hairline here up to the crown you can see, I'm literally just going to work through this panel here, I'm just going to click the section out so now Before I work on this area, I want to make sure the hair around the sides is nice and finished with my pasties brush again, I'm just going to comb through tuck, the hair behind the ears and I'm gon na again get some foaming pomade on there. Just to give a little bit of hold and a little bit of smoothness and just tuck the hair honey ear. So we get a nice clean finish. So I'm splitting my section into two and clipping one right out of the way taking my section into my fingers. Taking my tongue pinching the hair and twisting it down to the root again and then release push the hair flat onto the scalp and with your trusty, clip hold that in place. Take your second section and do exactly the same. It'S really important that you let the hair cool down, probably about a minute, but until it's cool to touch and then you know your hair's ready to dress out release your curls, let the hair come out. But then you need to coax it into position and then just push the hair into place to create the rest of your finger wave. So using my Paul Mitchell super clean spray, I'm just going to spray that on top to let that take hold okay. So this is my cute little take on the twenties finger wave, but bringing it up to date and making it more modern and wearable okay. So I'm working on my final look now I want to show you how to do a quiff but make it call and make it more rockabilly again working with very similar sectioning with the previous look, so we're keeping that top section isolated, make sure the besides and The back address beautifully with a bit of foaming pomade again just to make sure you've got a nice clean finish with the end of the hair and that it contrasts beautifully with a quip that we're about to create, because we've got the part in coming over. This way we want to make sure we're working with a party that we've got so I'm going to be taking slightly diagonal sections for my tongue winding. My first section we're going to work a 10 pence diameter, so we can fit into the tongue using my pasties brush just to brush through to make sure I've got all those ends going in the right direction and exactly the same as before, clamping the tonguing pulling The tongue slightly forward, so when you roll back the tongue, sits directly on to that section. I'M just going to take my tongue place it onto the hair and wind down directly on top of that section. So the route list comes from the front there and then you're going to work. Your next section, ten pence diameter again and tomboys, I'm taking my third section exactly the same as the previous section slightly over direct, so that you're coming towards your passing comb. Your section and pull it towards the party so final section we're just winding the tongue in just to make sure we get a bend in the hair, but we also get height that we require to give this rockabilly look and all you need to do now with Your fingers pull and comb through taking small sections and just putting a little bit of backcomb in there. So you get a nice bit of hold so here's my final look, my rockabilly quiff is really cool, really undone, but it gives you that kind of soft feel to the hair, but still that's really dynamic.
