 Hey guys, Matt back from freesaloneducation.com. I hope you guys are enjoying these step-by-step videos. I got another one for you guys. This one is focused on razor cutting. I did have a request from a client last night kind of inspired this haircut. I wanted to create, they wanted a big change and we all know that when clients say they want a big change, it really means that they don't want to take very much off but they want something different. Today, what I did for you guys was this, the haircut that you're seeing a lot of, which is the shoulder length kind of, let's call it a long bob. I don't really think they're a bob. It's more of a layered haircut. So shoulder length, then it drops down in the front. So when you look at them from the front, it appears to be a longer haircut. And then when you look at in the back, it's a nice shattered layered look. We did it with a razor with the Donald Scott carving comb, something that is available on freesaloneducation.com. It's a really cool tool. So I'm gonna show you guys how to use that as well. Here is our end result. This is with it kind of curled up. So the length isn't as long, but you can see how it's shattered and layered in the back. I love that part about it. And then it dips down into the front. It's got those longer pieces. We kept a longer bang on the cut so that she'd be able to kind of utilize that length as well. So those are the things I really love about the haircut. I show it to you straight and I show it to you with this wavy version so you can really get an idea of what it looks like both ways. I hope you guys liked this. Make sure that you comment.

But thank you so much for watching and here we go with our step by step cut. All right guys, so we're gonna start off by changing the blade of our carving comb. If you guys aren't familiar with what a carving comb is, it's one of my favorite tools. We're gonna be using it the entire haircut today. The one side has a full cutting side and the other side cuts 50% of the hair. So it's great for texturizing. We're also using the Donald Scott Prepare which is a liquid tool glide. The great thing about this product is that it adds condition to the hair and it adds a nice slip to the hair. So when you're razor cutting it keeps the hair nice and healthy. All right, so let's go over the sectioning. We started off by using a left hand side parting. That's where she's gonna part her hair. Then we created a horseshoe section based off of that parting down to behind the ear and now I'm gonna take a vertical section, down center back, clip away the right side and start working on the left side. The best part about using a carving comb is that I'm gonna go through here with a heavy stroke of the carving comb using the 100% carved side. What that's gonna do is create layers within the haircut without actually having to elevate. So it's really a freedom tool for me. You guys know that I do like to do precision cutting but sometimes there's haircuts that warrant a little more freedom and I love this tool for that. I'm going through with the 50% carved side now just to soften the ends of the haircut. We can go in, I'm gonna show you guys some techniques later in dry cutting with the carving comb that will also soften the ends as well. Now we're over directing the hair back, just taking vertical sections. This is the greatest part about the carving comb as well is that these haircuts happen so fast. So it's a great tool for creating this type of look quickly. So just vertical sections, working them back, using our previously cut back section as our guide, using a little bit of elevation at this point just so that we don't have the hair too heavy as it falls forward. So razor cutting is just like cutting with scissors when it comes to elevation because the more you elevate the hair, the more weight you're gonna remove. So because I'm over directing the hair all the way back, that means I'm gonna push a lot of weight forward. So if I give it a little bit of elevation, it's gonna give me a little bit lighter results as the hair falls forward. So that is pretty much the wet cut, guys. That's how quick it happens with a carving comb. That's why it's a great tool for the salon. Now we're gonna throw in Bercato Active. It's a serum. Really gonna make the hair soft and shiny. You can see the shine, how quick it happens in the blow dry. A little bit of a flat wrap. What I wanna show you guys is we're gonna do some texturizing techniques with a razor, yes, on dry hair. And I know that freaks some of you out. But here's the deal. You can cut dry with a razor. Because we put a fresh blade in, that's why we can do it. If I didn't have a fresh blade and I had, you know, I've done multiple haircuts with a blade, you can't cut dry. But because this blade is so sharp, it's sharper than my scissor blade. So we're actually gonna go through, this is what we call point cutting with a carving comb. The cool thing about this is you just, you're working both sides of the tool. It's skinning out the ends and it gives it a nice soft feel just by working that razor back and forth on top of your fingers. This is great for men's cutting. You can use this technique on pretty much any type of haircut just as soft it ends and add a lot of texture. So we're going through the back, pretty much holding the hair where we had it. Again, a razor is a freedom tool. So we're gonna go through and really cut the hair where we feel like it needs to be cut. So I'm going through just pinching the ends, a little bit of pinch cutting. You can see how soft that falls. It's such a nice shape and it happens and it's created so quickly. That's the amazing part about a razor. So now I'm just gonna take a triangle out of the front and I'm gonna do a slide cut with the razor to create a nice soft fringe in the front of the haircut. Using the razor kind of like a pencil. It's really, it's an artist's tool, I believe. Just going through, softening where we need to soften, cutting where we need to cut and going through. But you can see how cool that shape is, but how soft it is around the edges is what makes this cut stand out. So now we're gonna go through with a curling iron. I'm just gonna take vertical sections all the way around the head, leaving the ends out because I wanna keep the ends straighter looking and I'm just adding a little bump to the base of the hair. It's a really modern style. It definitely gives your clients a more versatile feel. So I'm going through, you might have seen me twist the curling iron one way, then go back the other way. I'm creating texture in this style. I'm not really trying to keep it too uniform. So I'm not worried about that. I clip away the fringe because in the bang area I'm gonna actually go a little bit more elevation on that. I don't want it to fall flat. So I section that away. I go through curl everything else. Then I'll go through and do the bangs at the end. All right guys, so as I finish up this haircut and the style, I just wanna let you guys know that the carving comb is available on freesalandeducation.com. It's such a cool tool and it's honestly, I think like $35. So definitely go on, check that out. You can also get it with the prepare spray as well so you can try that out.
