Halo Haircut, Cutting Clean Curved Lines With A Classical Approach Fusing Mod Texture By Lee Mukes.

Okay, here we go our halo, so I'll start off in the back and the shape that I'm cutting is curved. So, of course, my guide line to the back section now, comb, the hair to natural fall, and here I'm cutting it a curved line. The challenge for cutting in a curved line is that you have to make sure that, as your shears open and close each time, they close that angle changes slightly. Otherwise, you're just cutting a diagonal line, and it doesn't, it doesn't aesthetically look as strong as a curved line. Cutting in a diagonal line is really easy. Cutting in a curved line is much more challenging so up your game and do the most challenging the enemy assault. Will always pay off okay? So once you nail your guideline, just go back and forth and just refine your guideline um it's imperative. Otherwise, if your guide lines scuffie and messy, it will affect every other progressive section. So taking down my second section, I combed the hair on to the skin and I make sure down: combing the hair to 100 % natural fall and then just on the skin. I start to follow my guide line and cut in my shape. I'M standing in front of what I'm cutting and my eyes are right in front of what I'm cutting halos they're really really challenging. So you have to pay attention because a lot of times, in my opinion, cutting in like a one length is probably it could be. The most difficult cut, or especially, a curved length, because if you take a microscope and look at the line that you're treating you can always find errors, so the harder you look, the more stuff you'll find and then you get the clean up more imperfections and the Enemy result will give you a stronger finish: a stronger cut, a better attention, higher wealth. So again I comb the hair to natural fall, consistent tension, I'm just using the tips of my shears. Remember, as my shears close, I changed my angles slightly so again that allows me to cut in that curved shape now take down the next section and I'll approach, the back area in the exact same manner, um they're, just a few major key points. You really have to be aware of, while you're cutting a halo. One call me the hair, the natural fall to allowing for any calyx 3. As you close your shears, you adapt that angle for stand in front of what you're cutting 5 have your eyes in front of what you're cutting 6 cut curved, not a vertical line, and that's basically, if there's not so long as you can do those key elements. You should be fine, but the challenges isn't the execution is in the action. Talk is cheap, saying it's easy actually doing it, it's a totally different dynamic and the more you do it. The better you'll get um and just always be looking for imperfections with every section. I'M looking forward I'm making mistakes, I'm not looking for my strong points. I have my strong points. I pay attention all my weaknesses by paying attention my weaknesses, I'm able to grow a lot faster and I'm able to train my eye to see those imperfections. Once I'm able to see those imperfections, then in my mind I find the best solution to remedy those imperfections, and I just go and just make imperfections perfections here my sections start to incorporate the front area so I'll comb, the hair again on the skin, making sure That hairs come to natural fall. I can line up the teeth of my comb to the hair that I just comb and make sure that the strands are parallel to the teeth of my comb and that's a pretty strong indicator that I'm actually combing the hair too. Chabal so now, as I look to the front area, I use my comb to kind of give me a guy for my angle. So I just connect the angle from the back and then here again, as my shears close my angle, tweaks up slightly downward, so that allows me to cut in that curved shape. Remember a halo is a curved shape. It'S not a diagonal shape. Dad knows shapes they. Don'T look as nice so make them curved, so it look like rich, expensive and luxurious, so in the next section, I'll split it up into you so I'll take them I'll work on the back. Ok from the rear to the front just my eyes again exactly where I'm cutting, I can use my fingers there to just hold the hair in place with a consistent amount of tension where I can use my comb or just like straight on the skin. So I can even cut it in between the teeth of my comb, so there's multiple ways to approach this technique. I may have to adapt my technique according to this. Well, I'm working on on the head, shape and different techniques or cutting methods will give me that elbow room, so I can go in and just nail my life so at the front area, I'll comb, the hair to natural fall I'll, Pat it down with my finger. Just to hold it in place and get my eyes shears, my body is also slanted and now to allow for the ear I'll take this area down in between my comb. So because me less tension, because the most dangerous point is right there at the ear, because if you go too short, you'll put a big gigantic hole in your line, which looks totally and awful, and then you have to go back and fix it. So it's better to be safe than sorry and again, awareness is half the battle know where your challenges will be. So as we approach your more challenging areas, you approach them with a much higher sense of awareness. So if I'm still working around the ear, slowly take down those links allowing for the protrusion of ear, you also have to take into consideration most human ears they're, not at the same height level and they're, not the same size. So you may have to go in like feel around the ears, because those ears will definitely have an effect on your shape and feel free to move your guests head around I'll move, my body around physically. A lot do have a haircut, but sometimes I need that extra help with the head position. So I may move my guests head, but at the same time, do it in like a nice polite way? Okay, so again still following my guideline as my shoes clothes. My angle adapts and just again allowing for that year, baby step it okay, so now for the opposite side, the left side are going with the same technique and notice how my shear the angle changes as it closes. So that's how again that's how you create that curved line and watch out for any jumpy calyx, so comb, the hair to natural fall, just visually, assess each strand of hair and make sure that the strands that you just comb are all out 90 degrees and that's That will tell you that you're actually combing the hair to natural fall and use a consistent amount of tension. I prefer, whenever possible, when I'm cutting a halo classically to cut it on the skin, because that will give me the most define hardest, cleanest line now. Sometimes I can make modern adaptations to a classical look, so maybe I'll go in with elevation where I'll cut it really clean, then heavily texturizer. It all depends on the end result that I want to achieve the first things. First, you have to nail the halo classically and then you can find creative, adapt adaptations and, as I reach the front I'll be cutting from back to forward from the front to the back. That way, I'll encourage my hair to the hair that I cut to fall straight down. I found personally that if I only cut the hair and say from Rio to Ford and like cutting moving forward, you gradually out put a shape in that encourages my line, especially through the front to start kicking forward. So when I see that happening, then I'll cut from forward to back and it'll balance out that line okay so again on the skin, come in here to natural fall, just get in there and cut a super super super clean line as I'm cutting this clean line. I'M visually comparing that line to like here I can compare to the face of my comb because it's quite clean or the sharpness of the my scissors, let the blade. So I want a standard to compete with, as I'm cutting my life. A good reference point is a lot of times when we're working close-up on details. Our eyes can get kind of bug-eyed and funny fuzzy. So if you have a super clean reference right in front of you, then you can compare a fuzzy line to the clean line or a clean line with a super clean line. And then you know you're actually cutting quite well or if you do find it. You you're getting a little bit bug I step back or started looking at your lines from different angles. We'Re just maybe look away for ten seconds and just let your eyes rest come back and look at the same line and you'll see it totally different. So again, beginning in the back working from the back to the front, consistent tension always come to hair to natural fall eyes for your cutting and just work with the tips of your shears. Make allowances for that ear. Standing in front of what you're cutting and you can pay close attention to the angle of the tips of your shears, because, again that's where your creation is happening and now it's time to get up into the fringe area. So can just working in that curved line. As I move forward, my angle changes with each snip of the shear, and I want this lengthy fall just like mid mid in the mid point of your nose, so it's kind of like aesthetically cool. It may not be all that practical because the guest can't see, but just for, like I'm shooting Steel's after this, I want that that heavier front fringe curve effect. I may be in a salon out. I wouldn't take it as long rocking texturizer a lot more okay. I'M still working in the front curved lines so now my both sides of connecting, I don't see a super heavyweight and have a tendency like right about the temples to build up weight. So here I'll go in for my finish. So, for the finish I'll go in and I'll leave the hair and bevel it. So I'm using the decent amount of tension, I'm going with my best brush, I'm not aiming for excessive root, lift, thus the tension to make sure I'm pulling back the root area of super-clean and with that tension it allowed me to close up that cuticle, better okay. So now that the hair is dry, I have to go back and find the shape. Now this may take time. I found personally that during the technical portion, the wet part of the haircut, the more effort I put into it, the better my cleanup is once the hair is dry. If I rush to the technical haircut once the hair is dry, I basically kill myself trying just to clean up that line, so I'm rather going technically super super excellent and then we'll stay here. That'S dry again. Super super excellent um halos are extremely challenging. At the end, and during your cut, you should feel mmm you've been exerting a tremendous amount of energy and that energy is what makes a difference between an excellent cut and a mediocre cut. Okay and about cleaning lines. Um is quite redundant. Michael um behave in a chip off a cream align a common ed heard, a natural fall again I'll clean my line I'll look at my line from a top to bottom point of view from down to up point of view. I just I just keep on going and cleaning that line cleaning that line until I barely have anything left to give and I'll take a deep breath and I'll go again and give it some more. These lines are imperative, so just when you think is good, it's not good enough. It can be better. So it's just that discipline just like when you think you're done just push yourself a little bit more always push yourself. That'S what growth occurs so I'll go through here and I'm just elevating the hair now to texturize into it and just remove some of that heaviness and these sections from working they're, pivotal, open sections and through the fringe area, I'll nail that a little bit more because I want to see some softness at the fringe a little bit of forehead in there. Okay. Well, there you have it our halo done classically enjoy you
