We'Re also going to talk about hair care and some styling tips for the hairstyle that you choose. Okay, so talk to me dude. What brings you here yeah? No. I'Ve had uh this for probably three years four years: wow um, okay, yeah and i just got bored of you know taking care of it, but so i just kind of grew it out. I usually tie it up, but yeah i'm just kind of tired of not doing anything. Yeah i mean, with this face, shape right. What you have is a heart where it is much wider at the forehead, slimmer and slimmest. Okay, so hairstyles that work for you is actually what you have so a longer. Hairstyle works, the bun works. You can also try a gentleman's haircut where everything slicks back and there's a lot of flow. A hairstyle that will be side swept over, would also help. You slim down the forehead. You can also fully cover the forehead with either a textured fringe or a two block, so you have those options uh. What are you thinking like? What do you do for work? Yeah, i'm a software engineer um. So pretty versatile, like versatile. No restrictions right yeah, if i don't like it i'll, just put a zoom filter on all my meetings and i'll. You know: okay, yeah yeah, that's cool um, so yeah. What are you leaning towards like? What'S speaking to you yeah, i mean i'm pretty open, yeah um. I do think that, like the gentleman's is probably a pretty uh safe choice. Yes, are you willing to blow dry your hair every day because you do have type 1 hair, which is very, very soft? If you don't blow dry it it's just going to come out. That'S true: i have noticed that back when i had like shorter hair right, huge hassle, um. So then either we sweep it over to the side or we give you a textured fringe or the two block where the hair kind of comes off. You know the korean hairstyles yeah, where it's like a lot of texture. Texture will also take away from this very pointy chin right, so that um with more volume here and then here right there i do like volume, yeah um, i don't know. I was also thinking like eventually, maybe at some point i might try doing like a perm or something oh dude, that's very ideal right, ideal yeah, just because with a perm it'll create some waves versus it being super flat and um heavy. I hate the heavy flat like just and oily too yeah yeah yeah yeah. So what the perm is gon na be wavy and it's gon na be it's gon na overflow with a lot of volume. But today we're gon na add a lot of textures in your hair so that it has its own volume. Even if you don't put any product in it awesome you know. I love that, like low maintenance is okay, so yeah, let's do it uh two o'clock today, yeah yeah cool, let's get it cool, so a quick recap: calvin with a heart shaped face, will benefit with the forehead covered. Um we're gon na go with the two block. Today, we're gon na give him a lot of texture, something low maintenance um for the sides. We definitely can't take it too tight. So i'm thinking a three or a four and we'll see um his sideburns are a little bit weak right, so we're just gon na leave his siberians a little darker. Alright. So let's, let's see how this goes all right guys. So the two block haircut is basically a disconnected mushroom, so i started with a horseshoe section to separate the sides from the top. After that i used my scissors to take off the longer hairs all around the sides. Next comes a clip of a comb, we used it to debulk, but i made sure to keep it further out, because calvin was comfortable with leaving the sides at the four clipper length after the clip of a comb, since this was calvin's first time with us, we Had to test out how his hair reacted, so we started with the bigger guard number four: when testing our guards, i always line up and clean up the sideburns and neck before showing the clients the mirror, so they can see the true look before making any decisions When it comes to skin tapering, the neck always use about two fingers length under the ear as a reference, so you don't bring it too high and risk leaving the client with a long neck. I left the sideburns for later because, like mentioned before, he had weaker sideburns, so the light taper would work best for calvin open lever, no guard to start the taper, go up, half an inch and repeat with one guard and finally use the half guard to get Rid of any lines in that fade for calvin's siberians, we agreed on a light taper, and what that means is the bottoms will be shorter than the rest of the hair, but still kept darker due to low density, all right so with the sides all set. Moving on to the top, i used triangle sectioning to maintain the fringe. While i cut the hair, that's going to hang off to the sides and back i'm using point cutting so that the hair won't sit too straight around the head and once i finish that all around the head, we section off the fringe, because calvin's growth pattern is So strong length would be key. The shorter we go, the more chance. The hair will be stubborn here, i'm just blending the hairs from the mid section of the top to where the sides lay because his hair sticks straight. We threw some pre-styler in and used our diffuser to speed dry it without moving the hair too much. This attachment will also create some waviness and texture to help straight hair increase volume and after the hair is dry and set in place. I'M just detailing it to make sure my man is picture, perfect, yo. So this is the result. We gave calvin the two block. I hope he likes it calvin.
