Still look good fresh cut, fresh clean from the side. This is a cut for you. What'S going on guys welcome back to my youtube channel. This is benitez here with another sharpen upper collection, hair tutorial. If you guys love like a low effort but super clean look, you guys are definitely going to want to stay tuned to the end of this video. Today, i'm featuring a very special guest one of my friends for a long time in this industry. My boy he says, ironically, we have the same name with a bro hey doing what up bro how's everything everything's good. We got to really give them what they want man we got to get right into it. So kind of just tell me like what was your initial approach in this haircut and ideally um. You just want to make it look very clean up at the same time messy. So it's kind of like an oxymoron, how to say that. But you just want to a lot of people, don't want to waste time. Cutting i mean a lot of people, don't want to waste their time, putting product on the hair styling it standing in the mirror for a long time. So really, i was looking more for of a cut that it just falls in place and just naturally just wake up that way and you walk out of your house yeah yeah. It'S actually a very modern look right now, that's been you know around for a while. Some people line up the front. Some people don't so here um. I saw that you were wetting the hair and kind of sectioning. It so just explain that for those barbers out there that are kind of trying to figure out what you're doing here well with the sectioning reality is that um you're just moving um hair, really the style is on the top and on the side. So if you section it correctly, you remove um a proper weight on where you want to start cutting right. You can kind of give a shape to the haircut right. I think shapes like super important um. I'Ve i've been around people that cut like super technical. I'Ve been around other people that are a little more unorthodox like you, i feel like i'm a little more in between you and technical. I feel like some stuff. I do technical others, i i'm more like freeform, but for a cut like this, that's a little more messy and there's a lot of texture. Do you feel like there is a right wrong way to do it um, i'm actually, not that technical! Really! I just go from what the eye, what i look for in the style so wherever i really want the hair to fall on um, i pretty much just cut and uh trim from that section um. Ideally, i think your haircut should be have their own unique style. So i don't think it has to be exactly 100 um like perfect, perfect or exactly like measure cut right right. So when reality is like you're being free to cut your hair cut the hair, the way you want it and it gives it its own little style. So yeah, i think that's the cool thing about you like ever since i met you, i feel, like you always kind of had that, like creative, like free form, style, you're, really doing a lot of these before they were popular. I feel like ever since i followed you. I feel, like you kind of, were always ahead for those that don't know i mean you've had like um you're working magazines. You'Ve done some stage work so kind of explain that uh. While they see you, you know pretty much, do your thing here, uh with the shears. Well, ideally, creativity is always really like. I think my favorite focus point when it comes to cutting hair. I see it more of an art than actually a profession, so i kind of just love the fact that i could create something different. So with haircuts. I really don't um categorize it. For for what the cut is, i kind of just go with the personality of the of the client and just try to give them something different, even though they're asking for something that's very typical, i see what you're doing there with the finger erasers just kind of Explain your technique here so right there. What i'm actually doing is i'm using the comb. I flick the comb and just erase the section of hair that i want and then, with the feather razor i i texturized or i cut off just a little bit of the section. So it's not too much of a of a texture cut. So here we're actually going to be featuring one of my favorite products when it comes to texture, matte, finish volume, the sharp endeavor collection, sea, salt spray, so explain kind of like how you like this product. It gives it a different um texture, the fact that it's still wet it's like a moistured product, it sinks into the hair um very lightly, so as it dries, it kind of starts, holding right right right. It'S not like a like a gel in reality. What that's? What most clients just go for when they don't know what to use like a pre-styler is really what it is. So it kind of leads up to the next product that you're going to be using the smooth paste here, which um still gives it a light hold. But i want to say you're still kind of pre-styling the cut right now. What is it that you're, looking for when you're adding this into the hair, while it's still low-key kind of damp? What i'm doing at that section is that kind of give volume to the hair in the same time, make it look natural here, you're using the caliber clipper, so explain a little bit about that. I know that you've been using those clippers for a while now so explain. You know how you like them, um kind of like what it feels like when you actually are cutting right there, i'm using the caliber nine millimeter one of my favorite uh clippers from caliber. It'S a mortar, cordless, clipper. The speed of it is just ridiculously good um. If you try to put your your thumb and try to stop the blade from cutting it, you won't be able to um that's how strong the the mortar is. Wow, it tastes pretty cool too. I like that they're very light as well the very light um when it comes to um longevity, cutting hair um, your hair doesn't your hand doesn't get tired, so you're constantly cutting hair. You could go for hours and i believe that clipper has five hour battery life, so you can go a long time cutting hair, especially since it's light, you don't really have to worry about um. You know your hand getting tired or you're having to like rest right right, there's so many brands out now um, i recently you know, was starting to use them as well. You saw them in our last video, so i'm going to be leaking all that stuff below. So you guys could check that out. If you guys are interested in getting something new, i mean i've been cutting here for a long time. So have you and sometimes that's just what we need something new something different we're so used to the same stuff. It'S good to kind of like break that barrier and try new stuff. So i see here you were kind of just jumping in with your steps and these tutorials. You know i don't like to make them too perfect. I think some people - it's better for them to listen to us and just visually, see it because everybody has their own style yeah, so explain kind of like what your goal was here of like starting off. I i did see you put some guards on then you kind of just took the guards off right there, i'm trying to let the blend fall in in place, and i'm not really trying to like dig in on the haircut or dig into on the fade to Make it look more bald per se? I just want to like let it fall in perfectly with the texture right and then i see here, you're also picking up another caliber trimmer this time. So explain how you like that one and um pretty much what you're doing with that bottom hair, so that clipper is a caliber, 22 stinger, it's a magnetic mortar! It'S also cordless. Everything from caliber is cordless, which i love nowadays, you know us barbers want to up and go cut hair. Sometimes now customers want to get their services done at their own house or you have an event or you have any kind of setting. You got to go to and use your profession as a barber. Just pick up your machines and go you don't have to worry about connecting to a wall socket um, you know which is great exactly and then also now um moving on into connecting the side to the top. I see that you were using your thinning shears to get a lot of that bulk off. I see you kept the bulk to kind of like conserve some of the weight and then figure out how much you want left or what was your goal there right. So once i finished with adding shear work on the top, i let the weight on the crown section just sit there and i worked my face going up so once i felt like i was a proper connection. I grabbed my initiators and then i started working on reconnecting the weight from top to the bottom and then also like. I see that you were starting to pretty much go back in with the guard and kind of clean up that weight. Correct i'm trying to go in there and remove some of that weight to make the blend. Naturally, just you know connect, and i think that's a cool thing. You know like in these videos where i feature other barbers. You guys are going to see how many different styles there are. Everybody cuts different um. I love the fact. I think one thing i could relate to you and i is that um our cuts are very like rough giraffe and they just continue to get better as we go, because i think it's like we cut to learn the hair first and then we start perfecting a Lot of people they cut the certain way it looks really perfect, but yeah they give everybody the same cut. I try not to be very sharp and cornered and perfect on my cuts. I believe all my customers are beginning to like the the natural look, a little more edgy right. Yeah looks like you didn't try, but you still look clean right. Exactly that's dope! Um! I see here you're using another one of my products sharpen upper collection, shaving gel man explain um what you're doing with that bottom part of the hair um. In my last video, i left the hair at the end as well, but i use the electric shaver so explain what you're doing here so there i apply the shaving gel on my finger and then i'm rubbing it through the skin. A lot of people are going to question like. Why did you shave it off right if they don't understand what it is, so explain, kind of like what it is and what the purpose of this step is. So i'm not so sure of you, guys, um after you get your hair cut. If you get the experience of getting the shaver just shaved in the back of your head, your growth, your hair growth, grows different and it starts to irritate down a few days after it starts growing out. So, instead of using, if you apply the shaver, the shaving gel and you shave it down - naturally it gives a much better of a hair growth and it feels much smoother. One of the things that i love about the shaving gel is that it has some sort of like lotion like feeling to it, so it makes the skin very soft, so i don't know so sure what you have in there bro. But it's. I can't tell you pops, it's just amazing. I love it now. You followed it up with the caliber electric shaver right, it's the rpg. What i love about that shaver is that it's a slow cut. It'S like a slow um shave, so it doesn't give a harsh line when you use it. I like that i like that. So in a way it kind of helps you blend. The line. Waters are usually um. Shaving motors are fast um, this one's a slow cut. So exactly that's nice and i see that wow. Now you gave them like a little edge up, not not too crazy. With these styles, you want to keep it more so like natural or you think it just depends depends on. Like client preference. I think it's more of a client preference, but i always want to keep it natural look. Okay, i see that and then you followed it up so now you're following it up with the razor you, you cleaned it up super clean with the actual razor on the lineup and um. We didn't show the beard, but you you kept it pretty kind of like just you kept it like blended in, but just like a natural look is that something that you were going for just to kind of compliment the look on top right. I just wanted all across the board just make it look very simple, very clean, but at the same time not you know messy so um i mean most of us guys. You know really don't spend too much time in the mirror. So just you know straight up. Yeah so now you're using the most popular product, um, really the one that set it off for my brand and that is the sharpened upper volumizing powder, so explain um what it is that you're about to do and how you like the product. What you're doing to the hair here? What i love about the product that it doesn't release so much powder? It'S very gentle! It releases a little bit of a grain at the time. One thing that i do notice and i want to give a tip out to any barber that is actually watching this right now, if you're using that powder, you have to use it in the scalp area. It'S not really just on top so literally like the root is what you're referring to you're the root correct. So if you apply it to the root, it kind of gives it that special volume, because really that's where the section is where you want to raise the volume for the hair to go up instead of using it on the top of the hair. And really it's not going to do much if you use it on the top right. This is another exciting thing that i that i really wanted to talk about in these videos. Um explain product like use and the fact that a lot of people don't know how to use it, and even if you don't care, if you're watching this, maybe you could try this at home, but um understanding how to use the product is really what makes them Work so well now you're using the sharper napper steel comb. You guys could also find really all these products guys you guys can find them on the sharper network collection website which is actually linked below so with the comb. I'M just combing down the direction to where the flow of his hair goes, but in the same time, i kind of just want to give it more of a style you're kind of like over directing right so over direct to kind of give it a style and The same time you just re-comb it to the direction where the hair is going man, it's not really easy, creating this content, putting it together, we're literally here in the lab late night and um just kind of leave people with some kind of advice, man. I know you've done a lot of things, you've been in and out of the game as well, and that's just kind of like the way that the barber industry is in general. So just um, you know, leave these people with something that that they'll. Remember you for yeah man um, you know. First of all, i want to say thank you for bringing me in here for inviting me over um. You know you invited me over to do something that i love and want your products that can cut in here and third caliber clippers and putting it all together and um. You know doing some little content. The advice that i could give to other barbers is just don't give up always find a way to make it through, and you know, whenever things get rough you know. Sometimes, life throws you tough situations, family situations, whatever that kind of makes you kind of stop cutting, or maybe you might feel that you're not making enough money. That'S the time you guys sit down and really think about what are your options? What else can you do? Besides just cut hair at the shop, you know and it's not a bad thing to you - know, cut hair or do other jobs whatever but um. You know as long as you don't lose your passion for what you do. I love that man. I love that so hopefully you guys take that man and really this is just the beginning of something that i had the vision for for a long time, i'm blessed to be able to be in the industry uh for so long to create so many relationships, and Now we're here showcasing it on youtube, giving you guys something different for you guys to not only learn but also get inspired at the same time, so stay tuned for the next video.
