I got tons of videos like this coming out all of the time So let's get into the technique. Here we go. All right guys, so we're gonna start off by sectioning Sectioning is pretty simple We're just gonna separate the top and the bottom and I like to work that right around that parietal ridge area So where the head curves up to the top and kind of separates from side to top. That's where you're gonna section it off I'm also using the FSE velcro clips. You can see how easy it holds the hair over and now I'm gonna go in with my clipper I'm using the andis master clipper. This is the new cordless version and I'm using a one and a half guard To start I don't want to take the edges too short or the sides too short But what I do is I kind of rock the clipper out right at that occipital bone area right above the temple And then I work through clipper over comb. This is kind of my go-to technique for me. I'm not a barber I don't do really tight fades that often in the salon, but I do haircuts like this all day long I've got a 90% male clientele at this point in my career. So I love men's hair. I work through it I use clipper over comb as a staple technique of mine and then I detail everything with scissor over comb after so you'll see I kind of Elevate that comb at about a 45 degree angle off of the head and then I'll go in and just do some fine-tuning detail work using my blacksmith fit scissor This is by Mizetani. It's a six and a half inch blade Love that length for scissor over comb work If you're looking to upgrade your scissors if you want to get the velcro clips anything that you see me using on this Video you can pick it up on shop FSE, which is our online store now. I go in with some texturizing now I use a texturizing scissor Really just to soften the outer perimeter of my lines So just to soften not to go in and try to remove too much weight or try to hide things You're really using that texturizing scissor just to soften the edge, which gives you a softer effect It's also great for thick hair to just kind of allow it to lay a little bit softer and grow out a little bit better So now we're gonna work into the top just where the magic happens you get that fade done And now I saturate the hair work through it and we're gonna start off in that calic area So what I do is I assess where does that calic want to fall? How does the hair want to move and grow out of the head and then that's exactly how I cut it? There's no reason to force hair to do something that it doesn't want to do so you can see all the angles that I'm taking from behind the ear all the way around to the other ear. It's all gonna be Really dictated on that calic and how it's shooting out of the head if they have two calics do the same exact thing Just kind of work off of that calic and let the hair again do exactly what it wants to do now We're gonna work through the top. I'm gonna start off by cutting a guideline Parallel to the floor and we're gonna work our way across now This is where I really want you guys to pay attention to the pattern that I'm doing as I work across the head I want a traveling guide all the way towards the front So basically what I do is I take section two pull it back to one then I take section three pull it back to two Section four back to three and kind of work my way towards the front Then when I get to the front all of this is coming straight up off of the head Not too much over direction because I'm not trying to push too much length into the front And then I go through and I blow dry to really see the texture feel how thick the hair looks see where it's bulky And then this is now how I'm gonna go in and really start to customize this haircut What takes a good haircut and makes it great is the tiny little details that you put into it that little extra that you go About it I'm obsessed right now about what my client's hair looks like three weeks after I cut it not just the initial day, right? So we're gonna go in we're taking our Mizutani Yuragi six scissor cuts about 20 30 percent of the hair And I just use that to cut some of the blunt lines because it's gonna it's gonna cut them blunt But it's gonna make them soft so you can see the soft edge that we get with it Working those details through sliding the scissor through the fringe now using the tip of my regular cutting scissor my precision scissor and Working through that now you see that blunt line coming in now Here's the tri razor this is where we get to have some fun guys So I take a section parallel to the wall I put my Velcro clip in and I just slide that 25 texture side cuts 25% of the hair starts really popping in texture you guys will see it In a second as I start to style this up do the same thing here parallel to the wall Now we're in the fringe area. So look how I slide that 25 texture in and I piece it in different little areas throughout the head And it just creates this really cool movement and texture look how it's already popping through so it was so bland and boring before And now we're really seeing it come to life So imagine being able to take product and just throw it in there and it makes the style happen too often We're trying to use product to hide Things in a haircut or to make it do something that it doesn't want to do if you cut the hair right the products just in addition It just really is the accent to a great haircut. So now we're gonna go in speaking of product using Mitch by Paul Mitchell This is the reformer. It's got a really nice matte finish firm hold and look at all that texture guys I just love it.
