I should seriously stop ignoring all my clients, but negligence is bliss, as they say if you've been here before, you may notice that i've changed up the format for my hairstyle breakdowns a little bit, but it's still broken up into three parts, the first of which is Going to be an overview of the hairstyle, and yes, this sucks, because with this change i can no longer make my hairy analysis joke um, but it is going to be much more concise and accurate. So this is better part. Two we're going to be going over everything that you need to know about his hair type like its coarseness, its density, its texture, condition, curl pattern, etc, so that you can take that information and reference it to your hair type, which is going to be important. If you're looking to get this haircut for yourself, which we'll talk about later on and part, three is going to be the requirements necessary. If you were looking to get this haircut for yourself and, of course, what to tell your barber, when you're sitting in the chair ready to try on this new look so without further ado, everybody, let's dive into the first hair breakdown of 2022 vinnie hacker, all right. So first thing we're just going to do an overview of the hairstyle kind of go over some reference photos to see what it is that we're actually looking at so we're gon na go the hacker images. I was not on his instagram okay. So here's what i like to do when trying to figure out a hairstyle. The first thing that i do is just kind of look visually and point out things that i'm noticing about the hairstyle. So we're gon na scroll through some of these photos, and just do that so first thing, i'm noticing is there's a lot of texture and a lot of movement and right off the bat i'm noticing it looks to be quite fine hair, but we're gon na talk About that, in a second, the reason i say that is noticing the separation between the curls or waves is indicative of somebody with a slightly finer hair type and, of course, the fact that it looks like there's not a lot of volume towards the top right, like Vinnie and i have the same top of the head, but my hair naturally just has volume, because i have so much more hair, whereas his looks like it kind of sits flat again, you can see in this photo here again lots of movement, lots of texture in A lot of these photos, especially the ones where he has longer, hair, which i personally like better. You can see that a lot of the weight is towards the side of his head, as opposed to the top of his head. Like this one, for example, there's not a lot of volume and hair towards the top. A lot of the emphasis is on the exterior and around the sides. This, i think, is a more standard or common haircut for this hair type. I think this is a really good length and a good hairstyle um. What is this? Why? But you can see his hair again, not a lot of volume, a lot of weight towards the perimeter of his head, so yeah. I think we got a good sense of uh kind of the general look um of his hair and what's interesting, is kind of reminds me of this guy yeah like this or even like this guy, who i came across the other day, didn't know he existed. So what's interesting about this is clearly they have a very different hair type, but when it comes to the end product or like the final style, the actual look you'll notice. It looks very, very similar. So this just goes to show if you're looking to get this hairstyle and you don't have the exact same hair type as vinnie hacker. That'S totally fine. In most cases, what it'll be is just the approach the hairstyles will take to actually cutting the hair and creating the shape will be very different depending on your hair type. But as you can see, you don't need the exact same hair type in order to achieve a similar look to this. So, in terms of the odds of somebody being able to achieve this hair type, the fact that it spans over multiple different hair types is a good sign for you, but, like i said, i think we got a good sense of the general look that we're going To be going for so i think what we'll do now is go into part two, which is hair type and styling. So when it comes to hair type, what we're going to do is we're going to look at this initial photo that we saw of vinnie hacker and also how i pointed out that it looked like he had finer hair, and this is going to be the first Teaching point of the video a lot of you guys may already know this, but when we're referring to the fineness of hair, we're referring to the coarseness of the hair coarseness being the diameter of each individual strand. So not all hair is the same even as much as it coming down to the size and diameter of each individual strand. Somebody like me, who has asian genetics and a mom with really really coarse hair. My individual strands would be considered coarse, quite thick. You can feel them and they sit up on top of each other, creating lots of volume. Somebody with a fine coarseness of hair, each individual hair strand, will have a smaller diameter, resulting in a kind of more softer, less bulky appearance when all that hair is sitting on top of each other right. So with this reference photo and, of course, the photos that we went through earlier, i'm going to deduce that he does have a finer hair type and then the other metric, we'll use is called density, which is the number of follicles. So how many hairs you have per square inch, so there's two factors when it comes to kind of like the bulk or like size of hair, there's the coarseness, how thick the strands are and then the density. How many strands you have imagine a forest with a lot of trees versus a forest with few trees, there's a lot more space to walk through the trees in the sparse forest which is kind of i don't know. I don't know if this analogy is going to work but towards the scalp, that's kind of where we look for things. If there's somebody with really dense hair, let's say you're like a little flea with somebody with dense hair it'll be hard to navigate through the individual strands. If you're, somebody with fine hair after you'll be able to run around and do acrobatics and stuff, but anyways find courses, and i would also wager that it's a finer density as well like i said, especially towards the top. If there was more hair there, you would see just naturally a little bit more volume towards the top and the crown - and this is a very typical hair type to have if it's like blonde or light brown it'll, typically be closer to the finer end of the Spectrum than the coarser end of the spectrum and an average head of hair would be considered a medium density, whereas this, i would wager, is a little bit closer to the sparser side, but not like balding sparks just like not quite the normal amount of density or More but that's really good news, because this is a very cool hairstyle, that's very popular, very trendy, but is achievable by somebody with finer courses and even a lower density, and those are two issues that a lot of people struggle with finding a hairstyle that works for Them because they feel like they can't get that volume and luxuriousness of kind of like longer volumized flowy, hair they'll typically feel like they have to stick with shorter hair or be hesitant to try these kind of like medium to longer hairstyles. But this guy's done it. So it's probably a good sign for you. If you have this hair type and of course the next thing we'll touch on is the curl pattern. So curl pattern refers to the actually the way that your hair grows out of your scalp. If, let's say my fist is the bulb right, this is the scalp. If your hair goes from both out your scalp straight up, you're gon na have straight hair, but if your hair grows out of your scalp at an angle, what will happen is it'll grow and i don't know maybe just like, as it passes through the scalp. Actually, curls like this so depending on the angle that the hair is growing out of the bulb through the scalp will determine the curl pattern. Does that make sense? It is important to understand your curl pattern because in this hairstyle specifically, there is a lot of movement and texture. As you can see, it's not like curly, but he does have enough natural movement to actually get some wave in there. Oh and for those who, like the alphanumeric curl pattern, chart, i don't know i'd, guess he's probably between 2b and 2c in terms of curl pattern. But that's important to understand, because the idea behind this section is for you to understand his hair type so that you can reference it to your hair type to see. If this is something or something similar would be achievable for you to find out what your curl pattern is, you can use one of those charts and basically just look at your hair and see how many s's your hair makes you know. Straight-Ish wavy hair will make like kind of like long flowy, esses and curlier hair will make lots of tighter s's. But with that being said, especially a hairstyle like this or like this, you don't necessarily need curly hair. The only thing you need is just not perfectly straight hair, so if you have a little bit of natural movement to your hair, this should be achievable. What it'll determine is how much styling or effort you have to put into achieving this look. So in terms of styling, i'm aware that a lot of people actually just have this hair type. Naturally, and if you have a good amount of natural wave to this, if you get your hair cut like this and then grow it out, you should be able to achieve something similar, just naturally but you're, going to start running into issues. If you have a slightly less prominent curl pattern like like 2a, would be a little bit sketchy, so what you'd have to do is implement techniques and product that will help you bring out those curls and give your hair as much movement and texture as possible. So things like curl cream and a scrunch dry technique that i featured on my channel, depending on the length of things like gritty or matte paste towards the scalp to kind of help separate the roots a little bit to give it that texture. And, of course, if you've got really fine hair, but i mean also just in general, volumizing or texturizing powder is fantastic and, of course, how you style. It is going to depend on your hair type but, like i said, look into those products and techniques. If your hair doesn't naturally just fall like vinnie hackers, but a lot of people's will so keep that in mind all right and for part three and to wrap things up here. We'Re going to be talking about the requirements necessary as well as what to tell your barber, if you were sitting in the chair looking to get this haircut for yourself. So before we get into the details of that. As always, the best thing you can do, and every hairstylist ever will agree with this - is bring in pictures of what you like, not because a picture will magically give your hair stylist the ability to give you that exact cut, but it'll give us a sense of What you are looking for and, of course, if it's even possible for your hair type, because if it's not what a good stylist will do is say look. This is why we can't achieve this. Here'S something similar that might work as well. So keep that in mind. Pictures and communication are step one. The next thing you want to do is make sure you've decided on which of his hairstyles. You actually want, because there's likely a specific structure and length that you like make sure you have that clear in your mind. So your hairstylist knows how long to leave your hair if you're going for a longer hairstyle, for example, but more specifically we're going to do something that i recommend doing anytime you're looking for hair inspiration. But that is point out the things that you like about. The hair, because when you say, for example, uh with this haircut, like i like the length towards the back, i want it this long right. You don't know what that means. You just know what you want. A hairstylist will understand. Okay! Well, first of all, do you have enough length for that? If you do okay, how much do i have to take off based on your hair type and your curl pattern in order to give it this desired length or another one is: oh, i, like the separation between his curls, i, like the shape of this hairstyle, how The weight is on the side of his head and not the top. I don't like the shape of this hairstyle. I don't like how it's more rounded right that all helps the hairstyles, because the difference between cutting for this look, as opposed to this look, is like we're literally cutting your hair at different angles and at different lengths in order to achieve different, looks so just start. Calling things out no hairstyle is worth their weight is going to be like. Oh, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, because we understand that you don't know the technical things that are necessary in order to achieve these. Your superpower as a client sitting in a chair, is just communicating and articulating what it is visually you like about this hair and then it's the hair, stylist job to say. Okay, i get what you're saying i'm going to use the techniques that i've learned and trained for in order to give you that look. Does that make sense? And i guess the last piece of advice: if you're looking to go for a longer hairstyle like this, and especially if you've never done it before, don't be afraid to tell your barber not to take length off. Sometimes it is necessary for shaping, but realistically there's a lot of hairstyles can do with half an inch or a quarter of an inch in terms of shaping to kind of freshen things up and give you that look without sacrificing too much length. So if you are looking for a longer hairstyle a lot of times, people are hesitant to say they want to leave length because they, you know you're going to a hairstyle. So you feel like you, should be getting your hair cut, but the idea is you're not just going to get your hair cut you're going to achieve a certain look, and if that certain look requires length being left, a good hairstylist will understand that and do whatever He needs to do or she needs to do in order to uh achieve it for you. Hopefully that makes sense guys - and hopefully you got something out of this.
