 Hey guys, Matt Beck, three saloneducation.com, I'm here with tip number two and this tip is all about how to use the scissor. So I want to show you a little exercise that I like to do that helps me just move the one blade. That's the key thing that you've got to learn after you know what your comb is about. You know what your scissors are all about. You've got to know how to work this thing before you even touch hair. So let's take it out. What I like to do is just hold it in my hand nice and firm. Let go of my thumb so I keep the scissor steady. As soon as I can keep that scissor steady and I got the grip on there. So basically what I'm doing is pushing down with my pinky. That's what this thing's for. A lot of people don't know that. Push that down and push it up against my pointer finger. So that's going to keep it nice and steady. Then what I'm going to do is flip my hand over and I can add my thumb in and just move the one blade. So once I get that, this is a great exercise for you to do just sitting in front of the TV. Any where that you are. Stay away from the kids. But just work your scissor. Move that one thumb and work it. I honestly when I was in beauty school, I bought a huge pair of metal scissors that I would use and I would just sit on the couch because I didn't want to ruin my good scissors. So I would sit on the couch with these big metal scissors almost like I was doing a workout. But that's what builds up the muscle. It's a muscle memory that you got to build up in your hand. And then as soon as you have that, it's hard to even cut differently. So just work on moving that one blade and practice it in different ways. So there's going to be different situations on top of your hand like this. There's going to be a palm to palm and then cutting, point cutting. So all these different ways. So practice that, palm it. Get your comb in your hand. Work through here. So comb, cut, comb, cut. Get good at that. If you can't do this quickly, then you're not going to be able to cut hair quickly, efficiently. And it's not going to look like it flows together. So if you want to get great at hair cutting, you want to really work on these fine little details. This is what makes you great at hair cutting is practicing these little things. And then we need to understand it. So step by step, work through it. Practice all these different movements and you'll be good to go. We'll talk about point cutting and all of that in a different video. But just practice the movement of it and make sure that you're only moving that one blade as you cut hair. Thank you guys. I hope you enjoyed this tip.
