How To Cut A Bob Wig (Blunt Cut) | Christina M.

Today, i'm just going to be showing you guys how i'm going to transform this unit, and i'm going to be showing you how i do my blunt cuts. There are a lot of ways that you can do your blunt cuts, but personally, this is how i do them. So before we start off, i like to straighten my units. I just feel like it's just easier for me to cut, and everything is very smooth for me when the hair is straight. Okay, we'll see what's about to happen next, okay, okay, okay, we'll see, what's going to happen next, okay, okay, hey, okay! So for me personally, i like to cut on a mannequin head like this. I feel like i'm more comfortable cutting because, honestly, i'm not really good at cutting but i'll be trying. So that's all that matters so here i'm just making sure that my unit is centered. This will make sure that you are your cut, isn't crooked and that everything is even all around. I am not using any special scissors. I used to use sheers they're like 200, but then once you drop them, they get messed up. So i just stopped spending money on shears and i'm also using these clippers. So next, what we're going to do is you're going to find where you want your. How short you want your bob to be. I did end up cutting this unit, a little shorter than i wanted to, but the same rules apply when cutting a blunt cut on your unit. So what i am showing you here is where i am going to cut the unit and make it this length all around okay. So what i'm going to say is probably not going to make any sense until you really watch the video. So this piece is what we call our travel guide. The travel guide is what you're going to use to make sure that each section in the unit is the same exact length. So essentially, this piece is traveling with you throughout the whole entire unit summer. All i did was rest okay and new year's. All i did was stretch okay and valentine's day. I had sex. Okay, we'll see what's about to happen next, okay, okay, okay, we'll see what's about to happen next, okay, so what you're doing is you're going to comb? Make sure you're holding your section tightly and then you're going to cut using your travel guide and make sure that everything is even even if you have any extra hairs in the way you can go back and cut those out but yeah. This is what you're going to be doing on each side and then i'm going to show you how i do the kite in the back hey, go outside big time forward. Yes, okay! So when it comes to the back of the unit, depending on how thick the unit is, i like to work in sections so for this unit, specifically we're going to be working in two sections, and once i am going to begin working in my first section, i, Like to lean the mannequin forward, the same thing that i'm doing on this mannequin, you can do the same exact thing on someone's actual head. I did want to point that out. So what i'm doing is leaning the mannequin forward and i'm going to use my travel guide again to cut everything in the same exact length as before. I do want to point out that the reason why i lean the mannequin heads forward when i'm cutting the bottom section especially, is because i don't know if you've ever seen, someone who's had a bob unit on and then they put their head down and then there's Just a whole bunch of hair uneven pieces underneath the unit. That is what you don't want. So to avoid that you want to make sure that you're leaning your mannequin forward or your person forward to avoid that problem. So for the second section, which is the last section you're going to use your travel guide, which is not located located at the bottom of this section and you're just going to cut everything evenly, your travel guide is really there to ensure that everything is even all Around and you don't have a crooked cut jealous okay, so the back is quote: quote done, it's not really done, but of course, i'm going to go back and clean up my work. So what you did on the other side is what you're going to do on this side. Another tip that i want to give you guys that i learned in hair school is that when you're cutting someone's hair on their actual head, you want to make sure that their feet is not crossed. And, of course, you want to make sure that they're sitting as still as possible, i wan na - put you in my life okay, so this is where our clippers come into play. This is where i'm going to use the clippers to clean up my work straighten up anything that i have to straighten up um. I did lean the mannequin forward a little bit just to be able to see underneath the unit a little bit more but yeah. I just used the clippers for the back of the unit to clean up any extra hairs or anything that i messed up on so for the sides. The way that i check them is, i lean the mannequin to the opposite side of the side that i'm working on and i'm just checking my work and checking to see if everything is straight, that there is no extra hairs that i have to cut or anything That i missed, i just want to make sure that i just go back and check my work, so here i'm just showing you how to use your how to hold your cutting scissors. I don't use anything special like i said before. I really got these scissors from the hair store they're like three or five dollars, one of those but yeah. I just wanted to show you guys how to properly hold your scissors when you're cutting and this part is completely optional. I, like the look of having the um slight bump at the end. You do not have to do this, but for this particular unit i am going to bump the ends a little bit. I just wan na love, you baby when you're kissing me, okay, so this is the finished product. I really really love this unit. It really gives me silk, pressed vibes and i think it's super cute. So as always, i truly hope that you learned something. I do. Try my best to explain everything as detailed as possible. It the best way that i can, but i will see you in the next one and thank you so much for watching you
