Top Knot Or Robert Pattinson Style Haircut?! He Chose The 2Nd Option!

Alright guys welcome back to the legal gentleman youtube channel at the regal gentleman studio. Today, we've got harry in the chair. How are you mate yeah very well, you're, good, i'm very well thanks wayne. So what's the plan? What are we doing? Um so well, as you can tell it's, it's got out. Yeah yeah yeah i've been playing around with like putting my hair up okay for a bit, but it's not quite there. The wings are still like: okay, yeah yeah, so i'm in between, like keeping it long like having it up or going back to something like shorter and more manageable. Okay um. I got really well quite thick hair, yeah, quite difficult to like style. It consistently. So at the minute you've got quite a severe undercut. Is that something you did at home, or is that something from the previous haircut um yeah? I gathered that i thought so haven't done for like three months. I think right, okey dokey, there's only shorter we'd struggle because there's such a heavy disconnection - i don't know if you can see it on camera but like there is a really heavy disconnection, but it is long enough there that we're fine with all right. We'Ve had a couple of guys come in with it's quite fresh: it's just you kind of can't do much with it. Unfortunately, when you're saying you want to you're in two minds, what is it about the longer hair that you're not liking? What'S i like that, having it like i've been playing literally like putting up at the back right, but then the way that it looks at the sides and yeah it's like, because there's quite a lot of volume of hair yeah, it stays up, and i just yeah. I don't know i like the idea of it, but i don't like the current look of it. Okay, so as in like, while tying it into like a mambo like a top notch right. Okay thing is when you're doing a if you're growing it into like, say a top knot or or or a bun of any sort. You want to leave all the length because you can't have short of it, because it won't hold it'll, stick out the the bubble. So if that is, if that is the plan you're in the phase now i mean i mean the probably the best and the worst thing could have been your flatmate cutting here, because it's worked out well because you can see what you're going with, but it's you're Gon na be consistently in this phase, all the time until you get there and if it's not straight all the way around which i'm hoping it is, i'm hoping your your flatmate has got some good understanding of sections: okay, okay, that's all right, then um, but if It is even then it's cool, but if it's not it shouldn't be too much of a problem, so i can't make that decision for you. Unfortunately, i think you were in that phase, where, if you left it you'd be happy, but it's getting through the phase of leaving it. For now, i feel like i've been in the face for quite a while. You are, though, you will be yeah. You will be in the face for probably another six months. You know what i mean, so it's just getting your head around that. I think you can accept that and deal with it, because the thing is right. It isn't. You do need a lot more length like you know the front. The fringe has to get to the back right all the way, and it's not far off. Okay, look! Look at that sand from the front there yeah it's coming almost to the back. The problem is, your hair is just so thick. That is the issue right, which that's not a bad thing, because i mean you could do so much with your hair like so much. I don't want to know what you you think like what you think of mine. I'Ve always i've always had like well. I started with skin fades and i moved more to like mid fades, because i don't like the shortness of the bottom yeah and then but the whole time. I'Ve always just had like a bit of a quiff going on yeah yeah like way shorter than this yeah. Like i come out, the barbers is too short. Two weeks later, i'm happy yeah, two weeks after that, i'm happier than i have a cut again like a week for that sort. Yeah yeah i mean for you. I would just go with your kind of the texture. You'Ve got going on now. I know i know it's obviously just wild, because it's so heavily undercut yeah, but i i would play with the kill. I would have it just like just a generic length on top that you can do so many things with it um. I i like. Let me see if i can find an image for you. I mean it's just it's just like it's a guy who you'll know, but it's just because i want to show you. You'Ve got a very similar hair texture because i've actually met them and you've got a very similar hair. Texture too, you've got very similar hair to robert pattinson. That kind of texture. Your hair is very similar to that. My maybe yeah pretty similar, maybe even probably a similar color as well. So i i you know that that type of hair is just awesome to do so many things with and i think sticking it up in a top notch. It'S fun, but it's an absolute waste. I just think yeah. I just think if you went with that kind of movement, i wouldn't cut it back forward just because it really kind of uniform in length and then just use the razors to really pick out bits and just let it fall um. But i'd connect in the sides a bit more than okay, just through here, but probably maintaining some length through here we're just connecting this underneath. So you see the difference when you take that in even just leaving a length on top by just taking the corners in, and i cover up the overhang. I mean look at your face shape. It instantly changes your profile and then you let go of it and that's what changes. But it's not my hair. It'S just i'm just here for the ideas, so i mean if you want to keep growing it, i don't want to be the person who takes you back to the start like i would be very on the fence about it, but i think i am like. I agree i should get it cut away. Yeah yeah the sides in yeah yeah definitely yeah, definitely see how short do i go on the sides, because it's entirely up to you, it doesn't matter i can make it could go to skin. It could go to one. It could go to four it's up to you to one um, my sister's wedding at the end of the month, so i think my hair will be like it's a great yeah, so let it grow out till the end of the month, yeah yeah yeah! Well, are you would you be happy to let me just kind of i'll i'll go with your number one on the back and sides, but would you be happy to let me just have a little play around with the top i'll make it sure that i'll make It manageable for you, yeah i'll, take all that into account. But if you just, let me kind of show you potential out here: yeah all right, man, cool all right! Well, i'll get you gowned up and we'll get started all right, thanks man right guys! So we've just washed and conditioned harry's hair. Now what i'm going to do is i'm going to start probably going to start with cutting the top okay, because with the disconnection being so heavy, i want to try and connect that in before i start cutting the sides. But i think, by cutting the top down and getting that length and starting to connect the sides at this length now, i think that'll be a better option than starting with a horseshoe all right. So just wetting that down a little bit, let's drive off a little touch and i'm going to separate this at the crown. So if you look at how he's trying, how he's got a double crown, okay, you can see he's got so double crown tends to sort of. You have obviously two obvious crowns and then it almost joins in a line. Sometimes it meets into a point. But that's that's basically how easy crown best thing is, though it doesn't matter in this haircut. Okay, obviously it would matter if we went too short, but we're not going to go too short, because i want to still keep some length in there family that we can alternate hairstyles whether he leaves the joint naturally, whether he blow-dries whether he uses a diffuser harry's Got that hair that you can kill, you can straighten, or you can just leave natural. It'S kind of in between that. This is like the ultimate kind of hair you'd like if you, if you get bored very quickly, if you're here, okay, so what we're going to do is i'm going to take a section from just before the crown. So when i say just before, what i mean is at the top: okay, if i say just under the crown i'd be underneath okay towards the back towards the nape. So just before is towards the apex at the top of the head. I'M just going to take that section, and i only do this because again we're starting at the top - and this is just it kind of stopped it's at the round of the head at the round of the crown. So this is a bit more level when it comes to starting to cut, as you can see. So if it was a little bit if you're on the crown you'd be starting on that angle, so you don't either going too short too long. So this is where it straightens up, but also it stops me from cutting the crown too short as well. So i'm going to start at the back and i'm going to take a bit more length towards the back than i am towards the front again. There'S two reasons for that. I want to leave my length at the front just because that's the kind of style i'm trying to give them the options to play with, but also when you start the crown, as you lift the front up because of the dip from the apex to the, where The fringe is to where the hairline is. You need to leave a bit more length and they need to level up if it's standing up at the top as well right. So i'm going to take off about that much so it looks long. But, to be honest, if you look at that, it's quite thinned out towards the ends there, so that isn't really got much structure anyway, if you feel that's really thin. So it looks as though it's either been thinned out quite heavily and it's just grown out from a thinned out sort of um style, yeah right yeah. So again, using one of the reasons why i sexualized the bad deal. My thing out. The way i do is because i can pick the areas that i want to pronounce, and i know i'm i'm very lucky. I'Ve got the luxury of time on my side when it comes to appointments, but at the same time, when you are using the thinness there's ways to use them like more than going straight in and creating a square straight line, point cut with thinner scissors. It'S perfect! It really works great. I can even try one on it. If i get a gentleman who's got the straight hair i'll show you that technique. It'S a really really nice way of thinning out the hair without leaving lines of shorter hair, because essentially that's why the hair grows out wild because it's growing out from almost like imagine the hairs cut that long or that to that length and then you've got hair Over the top of it, as we've seen in previous videos that we've done when you cut air shorter, it stands up like that for a point and then lies flat. So, if you're cutting too short, it's going to stand up like this, which it's got hair line on top it's going to make it bigger. That'S occasionally why some haircuts grow out quicker or go out more wild is because, if you thinned out halfway through it's just the shorter pushing the long hair out, so i reckon that's a good indication for where i need to cut it through today. All right now, i'm going to point cut into this, but i'm not going to do it. It'S almost just off being straight. You see the angle of my scissor, it's almost straight. That would be straight. It'S just off! I'M just gon na start to graduate some more length at the front now, starting from the apex, i'm just pulling sections back to the previous section, and that will just allow more length to be left towards the front as you can see, if you're picking it up Now, you're, starting to get on that angle, now see because we're going quite short, i'm not going to bring this up straight. I don't want to leave the corner in this because we're going to go too short, we can create a corner with the clipperwork. So much you know we're just following the shape of the head. Just to this point and as we get to the side we'll miss this section here, that's what will create the squareness, we don't need to kind of create too much of a corner in there. We'Ll work on that with the clipper work in a second i'm just following the guide from the left-hand side to start with, and then the guy behind as well. Let me just level with the apex now, so we need to pull this up, pull it back now. This will start to add that over direction there we go now. Let'S see i'm gon na connect in this top to this length on the sides now, because you've got a good amount of length on the sides. You know lucky enough. Harry left it long enough. For this haircut today, which is brilliant because, as you can see, i can get my fingers right into that and, as i always say, if i can get my fingers in the section, we can always connect the top okay. I'M cutting this straight because this is all about primary shape. Okay, we will texturize this as we go along, but i'm just really connecting in the top okay. This is not anything about adding texture or anything. We don't need to point cut these parts here. It won't do anything any favors, really i'll, just make waste a bit of time, so i'm just connecting in the sides all right that is all connected. That undercut is gone, but you can see, we've left it. You know i undercut a fire man like i'm, i'm not the biggest fan of them only because i just most, i think the a lot of undercuts came from diy haircuts. I think you've got you've got to kind of work on the hair like yours will. Probably look okay, but the problem is yours: yours is the heavy, it would flatten yeah, so it would just hang over it. It wouldn't stay kind of moving around unless you kind of blow dried it out and stuff. I think i feel like after a couple of weeks it would just drop because there's no support underneath the only corner yeah yeah like since i was 16 or so yeah yeah you finally just dropped like when you came in. Didn'T you have that kind of big. The big corners yeah, big wings, yeah there we go so i'm just working out from the center over to the left-hand side. Now and again, just following the guideline: don't worry if you see more hair coming off. I always have to stress this, because this is the biggest thing that biggest was a fear and set and sort of thing that held me back so much when i started was i've got my guideline, but i'd see like seeing me guide and then i'd see loads Of hair coming through the other side and i'd panic thinking, oh no, i'm taking way too much off. But if you're following your guideline, you're, okay, still an awful lot of hair coming through that bit there i'm taking a section just before the fringe, pulling that back. There'S my guide there and lift this up, pull it straight up after that last previous section, and there we go and there's the guy we're working to just the guy that is grown out there we go so while we're working on the top i'm going to connect The fringe properly i'm going to do this by working in sections down like a profile guide and bringing it over the house. So that's the angle. I want to take it out. Okay, as we drop it down, it just sits nicely layering that fringing, so as you may mix it up, he's got support behind it as he weighs it down. It'S kind of ruffled bring it over now. There'S a guard from before pull it up. There'S a guide, as you can see the angle, i'm bringing this down a little bit as well, just layering that fringing now we just trim the ends take off about that much all right! So we'll move on to the razor now. So i really want to start adding this texture, so i'm going to add some lifting to start with so starting from a section we took first, that's just before the crown and just work, the razor from just under halfway all the way up. Okay, so i really want to shatter this alright. Can that collapse lift everything into this? I want to make this really really textured. As you can see now, it's look how much thicker it is now we took the little dry ends off that being thinned out the whole way through the hair, it's nice and thick. So i can get away with texturizing this a bit more. Now i've left it any longer probably would have been quite limited. So what i could do now? We'Ve only got water in this now, but look what the razor's doing. Look, how much the hair standing up now! Look at that! It'S really standing up like that. You see a bit, we need to have more texture there, because that bit's standing up it's falling down. If you work on and the texture before it, and just behind it, watch this okay. That is just proof that that technique works because i've just showed you. It fallen down. I just showed you a standard now that is only water, nothing else, i'm just going to work horizontally now and just slide into it, because i want to create different textures. I don't just want lift. I want movement, i want it to four different ways. I wanted to be sort of being able to look good, lying flat line over to one side start again. Standing up is always nice just work it into that front as well. I'M just doing this towards the ends, because i don't want to compromise it's standing up. So when i lift we've done, i don't want to compromise. That'S i'm just trying to break the ends up a little bit like that. I'M going to weigh this down and just removing that, on the cut the you know, it's not getting like really caught up in the clippers or anything. That'S all just removing a lot of that bulk. Okay! So there's the guide all the way around. For you clip away right, i am going to dry a little bit of clay into this okay, so i'm going to use your clay, so the regal gentleman mac clay just a tiny bit, i'm going to dry into the hair now and i'm talking just a tiny Bit this product goes so far like you do not need a lot. Let'S your pea size! Okay, not that much! You see, make it into the hands through your fingers and i'm just gon na start scrunch into the hair, so kind of massage it into there. More than not being too too heavy with it all right, i'm just scrunching through and what i'm doing i'm just seeing looks that i can create i've been doing it. I'M not telling the client this i'm gon na be probably chatting footy or something like that. But the point is i'm doing this subconsciously and consciously as well. So i'm thinking about what looks gon na do it's gon na work for him, but i'm putting the clay in now, so i can dry it in and then the styles are almost there. So, as i'm doing the clipper work, i can almost blend the clip away in to suit the styles that we're doing as well. So, first of all, i'm going to try the back and sides off and i'm going to use a diffuser on the top there's. Just a normal nozzle back inside so i'm doing the clipper work on here then, moving on to my diffuser there we go so high speed. Sorry, high heat, high heat, medium speed, i'm just working this through into the hair like that. I'M just scrunching the hair. Now, by drying my clay in when it's dried, it will look like there's nothing in it, but it'll have to hold so it's a bit like using the styling powder at the end or something like that drying a product in just gives ultimate hold, but, like literally Looks like there's nothing into them, so probably the most mass effect you'll get out of using a product like that is when you dry it into the hair. So once we go down to number one, i'm going to start higher up with my clippers. So i'm going to start on a number three, but you can see if you're looking in the mirror now look at the top. It'S looking wicked what i mean, and that is literally just minimal, tried a bit of clay with the diffuser and obviously working with the razor texture and there's all so that is going to come into its own when this clip works done now. Okay, three and a half um there. You go now closed guard now to the number three so keeping the number one quite low, just blending it right out so more like a taper fade, will work well with this, because we can maintain the shape so think of something like this finishing off with a Really sharp edge, but having that real sort of lift in kind of loose texture through the top. I just think that it's a real good contrast of air of sort of sharpness and texture. So moving on to my number two now so lever down to create a two and a half, we go down to close guard so number two, just working up and off like that. You can hear the hair coming off and then just pull it off now on to our one guard. So one and a half up into our two just do a scoop of motion and finally that's our number one number one up into our one half. So you can see just by working through the guards and using the right technique. You create a very nice blend, but just be me being me and just to refine, i always like to just go over a bit of clipper over comb, but a scissor over comb too working up into my one and a half you're just gon na blend out Into nothing on the bottom, just very natural taper not going to be doing like anything too high. It shows off kind of like a fade, almost in a sense like a skin fade at the back. I just want to do a nice taper. I don't want to draw attention away from the top and i think the fading on anybody will draw the attention away most of the time from the top. Just a nice like there's a low graduation just to create a sort of clean finish more than a noticeable finish on the edges. Right, i'm going to work on my clipper of a comb now to blend into the top at the back and start to blend this. In now, we're going to start just by working down here, blending the one half into the three start this for now to clean that up a little bit elevate and cut and just start glad you're getting closer and closer to the spiny comb to the client's head. Elevation guys, on the right hand, side there turn that off again make sure you comb it out, use this posture. The elevation is key: we're not trying to remove too much length at the very top because that's already been cut into the shape, we're just trying to blend in so elevate it up just to kind of clean up the section and then just get closer and closer To the scalp, as you work down lifting it up, i'm not actually taking much off and just starting to get the blending process and getting lower down the shape of the comb as well. The teeth are almost facing towards me, so they get lower down and it becomes quite flat. The thing is, i want anything to match or even to blend in and not have like a really standout sort of feature on this haircut. I just want to look like a really i really sort of i haircut that kind of works for every single thing that we've done within the haircut. I want to work okay, so i don't want to make the old a really sharp kind of fade out, neckline or really sharp temples or something because i don't want to draw just one thing. I want this haircut to be perfectly balanced all over. So every single thing in this airport works for this look: okay, i'm just gon na sharpen that off i'm just going to pull this over from the section before the crown pull the horizontally right out and there is a point open just a little point off. It'S still going to sit nice, so it's not too heavy all sits in nicely. It'S not standing up anywhere now. What i'll do is i'll just finish off with some scissors of a comb on the back inside and just texture that blend a little bit more now as well. Just feed the hair through the cone and just cut into this blend like so just to scatter it, and we can just lift it up and cut it into it like that as well. That'S the vision i had as well, i'm so glad to come out. That'S how i wanted it to, but, as you can see, it's all connected you've got length in there now it falls around. It'S got a little bit of movement, but it kills got a nice square finish to it as well, and we've gone right down to a one on the back inside as well. But it's got a really nice shape. Sitting looks awesome, so i mean the texture of your hair is just it's just so good for something like this. It really is, and it'll actually stay like that as well. All right man, thanks bud, yeah, appreciate yeah yeah, put some clay in and scrunch it leave. It to dry, it's all diffuser. Does it just dries it off? It doesn't have any um diffuser, isn't something that's going to create. It can obviously help with curl and things, but because mainly because you're kind of drying it in this in the shape you've let it set in so when you scrunch your fingers to it and you hold the heat on it, it just oscillates the hair, so it Just dries the hair, when you use a nozzle, that's the only force it open to move around, but that's mainly just is drying. So if you could just put some clay into it, yeah and then just scrunch it and just leave it to dry naturally and then just run your fingers to it. It'Ll look the same. That'S all all diffusers are speeds of time already you
