 Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, go. You'll never have anything. What's up guys? Welcome to today's vlog. Today, what we're gonna go over is a nice short haircut. I haven't done a short haircut in a while. This one's got layers, disconnection in the temples. We do some scissor over comb work. We do all kinds of different things. But I also wanna introduce you guys to a new scissor that I have on freestylaneeducation.com. So I wanna unbox that for you guys real quick. We did the entire haircut with this scissor. So I wanted to do kind of a comprehensive review of what this scissor is all about. This is the Scorum Rusal Scissor from Mizutani. You can see right there. It's the special edition scissor. We do have it available on freestylaneeducation.com right now. But a few of my favorite things about this scissor is one, the handle. The handle feels super comfortable in your hand. The other thing that I love about it, I love when a handle has this little groove in the thumb part. So it allows you to cut with just half your thumb in there. Makes it super comfortable for that. A lot of scissors are missing that, which I don't like. But Mizutani scissors never are missing that. Also, built-in tang, love the built-in tang because it doesn't fall off all the time. Flat screw, nice skinny blade. But this scissor feels powerful in your hand. You can tell when you go scissor over comb with this scissor, the hair goes flying off because it's just super, super powerful. And that's what you want in this type of scissor. It's a six-inch scissor, so a little bit longer, which I like. But I love the powerful feeling in this six-inch scissor. So if you'd like to check out more information on this scissor, go to freestylaneeducation.com and you can check out our special pricing on this scissor if you would like to purchase. Now, the haircut that we did for this video and with this scissor is this haircut right here. So key things that I love about it, we did disconnections in the temple like I talked about. The disconnections allow us to cut into those later. So we cut into those in the dry cut. We did a lot of layering and texturizing throughout the top and then we disconnected this side portion here and then it's nice and short in the back. We did some scissor over comb work. So a lot of salon-friendly techniques you're gonna get in this whole video. So thank you guys so much for watching. Here we go. All right, so we're gonna start off by sectioning the mannequin. Sectioning is a really important part of haircutting because it plans out exactly what you're gonna do. With this particular haircut, what I'm gonna do is section it right at the parting on the left-hand side. I'm gonna section it straight down the division line, which is the high point of the head down to directly behind the ear. And then I'm gonna take a little square out of the temple area. That's gonna play a key role in the haircut later on when we cut it dry. So I braid off what I want to be disconnected. Sometimes I like to separate the way that I section off hair. So I'll use clips on things that I'm going to cut wet and then I'll braid things I'm gonna leave for later. Sometimes I change the color of the clip. It just keeps you more organized throughout the haircut. So this sectioning is basically two small squares in the temple area. Then I have the bigger rectangle for the heavy side of the haircut. And then I have a smaller square for the weak side of the haircut. Now the scissor I'm choosing to use today is the Scorum Rusul Mizetani scissor. It's a special edition scissor that we just became available on freeselineeducation.com. It's a six inch scissor. It talked about the benefits that I really love about the scissor. Now you can watch it in action as we cut through this haircut. It's just super powerful. It was one of my favorite things about the scissor. You could really feel the quality, feel the power as you cut through the hair. So now I comb everything to the side. I part directly down center back and then I take diagonal forward sections to start my cut. I'm going parallel with the head shape. So what I'm trying to do is collapse the head shape and create a nice soft feel to the back of the haircut. We'll build up the weight when we get more towards the crown area. So right now I'm still elevating the hair pretty high in this portion of the haircut even though I'm up on the crown because I want to bring that weight up much higher than I would normally do on a bob. That's why this is more of a short haircut, not so much of a bob, but some people might still consider this a bob length. So we're working our way down the head shape, just smoothing that out. This could be for a guest that says, you know what, it's a little too heavy down at the bottom. Maybe they weren't looking for that. They want a little bit more stacked up. So this would be a great haircut for that. So see still, how high I'm lifting my fingers. I really want to remove a lot of weight from this haircut and get a nice smooth feel to the back. And I'm tucking my fingers in. So as I move down the head shape, my finger angle will shift more towards the head. So right now I'm parallel coming off of the head shape. And then as I work my way down the head shape, you can see how my finger angle shifts. Also, the way I hold the scissor shifts because it makes me more comfortable. So I take my thumb out of the scissor the normal way and I put it in the back direction of the scissor just to create a more comfortable feel for the scissor. If you use a swivel scissor, you wouldn't have to do this. You don't have to do this in regular haircutting either. It just seems to be more comfortable for me as I work down certain sections. So you can see how we've kind of pushed some weight forward. That all comes with that over direction. So as we worked our way down, we overdirected everything back, pushed a little bit of weight to the front. Now I'm going through with scissor over comb. This is where this scissor really shines, which one of my favorite things about the scissor is working with it, scissor over comb. It just blasted through the back. But really I just did that scissor over comb as a, almost like a cross check through the back because I went through and cut diagonal forward, almost like diagonal vertical in my sectioning in my fingers. So then I go through horizontally with the scissor over comb which just cleans everything up and makes sure I'm nice and consistent with my haircutting. So same thing on this side. The only difference is my fingers are now pointing down. Talked about this a lot in the past but if you've never seen any of the videos, the reason I'm now pointing down is you have to stay consistent with the way you comb. Combing is what makes you a great haircutter. It has nothing to do with cutting the hair. It has everything to do with how you comb it, how you place the hair, how clean you take your sections. So what we're doing is we're pushing the new hair towards our guideline. Our guideline is coming from the center being traveling across the head but you wanna push that new hair which is coming from the side into the guideline instead of pulling your guideline from where it lives over that's just gonna stretch your haircut out and then you're gonna end up with two sides one side longer than the other. So now I'm just gonna go through and soften off the graduation that we created in the top crown area of the haircut. So I went through with a little bit of high elevation round off that corner a bit and then I go through and just a little point cutting to soften right at the low crown area horizontally just to soften the shape. And we'll go through scissor over comb then what I'm gonna do is blow dry the entire back section the back half of the haircut because I wanna see how it's laying and I like to go through section by section in a haircut to make sure that it's right before I move on to the next section. So you can see that shape that's been built up. Now what we've done is we over directed all the hair and the wet cut back towards us. So now what I wanna do is elevate it straight up vertically and just point cut into it to remove a slight bit of weight because sometimes when you over direct stuff back it's gonna be a little bit heavier than you want it to be in the end result so I just over direct it back do a little bit of point cutting to soften it up. So now we're gonna work on the side section of the hair just directly above the disconnection and what I wanna do is over direct that back to my previously cut section. So I'll get my guideline from the side of the head right at that division point then we're over directing everything above the ear. What that's gonna do is give me a little bit of length pushed forward and also remove quite a bit of weight because we're following the round of the head. So it'll be a nice soft angle to the side of the hair but it pushes that weight forward so it'll be a nice soft look. So now we're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side taking that guide from the bottom and I wanna create a short to long portion throughout the top of the haircut. So the longest point is gonna be over the part and I'm following the head shape from the rest of the haircut down. So just allowing that longer piece to sit on the top kinda gives them some flexibility throughout the top of the haircut but it also blends the haircut on the side if they style it back. So once I get that cut done now I let the disconnections out I add a little bit of the brocado mousse and I'm gonna go through and blow dry the rest of the haircut nice and smooth. Now it's gonna look a little funny as we start to blow dry this haircut only because we have those disconnections in there but trust me we're gonna cut into those disconnections so it won't look like you have those long pieces hanging down. The great thing about leaving the disconnections in the haircut is that now we can go in and customize them to fit the haircut that we're looking for. So you can start to see that shape that happens on top and how it kinda collapses right before the disconnection and then the disconnection gets nice and thick. So that's what we're gonna do is go into that with a razor and cut into it so that we can soften it, connect it to the haircut and give it a nice cool flow to it. So we go through with our vibrostrate iron just to get it nice and polished and then we're gonna use our carving comb razor. This is a really cool tool we have on freesaloneducation.com it's $34.95, it's a great price to add to your kit and it cuts dry hair really well but it also cuts wet hair really well. So we're going through with our 100% carved side of the carving comb and just pinching the hair and sliding the razor through to create our lines. So we want this to be nice and broken, nice and soft. So it's a heavy stroke with the razor which will create some kinda light, airy pieces through there and then I just pinch and cut. So you can see how it just breaks it up. I like the pieciness of that haircut. I like the shattered look. That's the whole purpose of the razor. If I wanted more of a blunt look I would go in with a scissor and then I can even go through with our bang area and just soften that a little bit. Now we're gonna do what we call kind of a point cutting technique with the carving comb. The cool thing about the carving comb is it cuts on both sides. So it's got a 100% cut side and a 50% cut side. So we just go through, lift up the hair you can slide the carving comb across your fingers and it point cuts and takes out a ton of density throughout the haircut and you get that kind of textured PC look really easily which is pretty cool. Now we're gonna go into our brocado carve. It's a texture cream and I'm gonna use that to style. And what I like to do is run that through my hands for just about 30 seconds just to get it, it starts to firm up in my hands and then as I go into the haircut it styles it a lot more. It doesn't give it a wet look to the haircut. So you can see all that texture that pops out using those disconnections, using the texture techniques cutting those shorter layers. And that is our end result. Hope you guys like it. Let me know. All right guys, so if you like this haircut and you like this scissor, then go to freesaloneducation.com, pick that up.
