 So today guys, we're gonna be cutting the shixie haircut We're calling it the shixie because it's a shag pixie hybrid And you can let me know what you think of the name. Would you call it that? I don't know I didn't know what else to call it. So we're gonna work through. I'm going to use the Sectioning from the FSE digital haircutting system. I'm not sure if you pick that up yet. It's available on shop FSE Different haircuts it shows you how to section hair tells us why all of that So we separate down the center and then separate the front and back And now I'm going to start working a slight diagonal forward parting in the nape area in the back of the head And what I'm going to be doing is pulling my finger angle parallel with the wall And what I mean by that what that's going to do is it's going to create almost a 90 degree layered Seamless layered feel at the top of my fingers But then as I move down on the head shape keeping it parallel with the wall will actually pull length Towards the bottom which I'll use later to kind of create that shag effect in this haircut So I want that length. I don't want to follow the curve of the head. I want to keep my finger angle parallel to the wall So you can see how that works now. We're gonna work Slight diagonals all the way up the back of the head shape the key Thing to think about as I'm moving forward watch my fingers and watch the over direction I take just the previous section I use that as my guideline keeping my fingers parallel to the wall, but then I'm just bringing it straight back I'm not over directing it all the way to the center back. I'm just pulling it straight back so that I don't Follow that round and I don't create too much of a hole in the head as I'm working my way around it So those are just the key things you want to think about I want to push a little extra length towards the front to play around with later in the dry cut The key to this haircut you're gonna notice is we do a precision cut wet And then we go in and have some fun texturized it dry So make sure you stay tuned to the end to see that you can see the shape unfolding already It's got a nice shape in that interior and then it gets longer towards the outside hairline area. So That's the key. That's what we're going for see how I'm over directing it back But I'm not pulling it all the way in the center Just keeping it parallel with the wall that gives you that really awesome shape Now we're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side The only thing that we're changing up now is that our finger angle our finger is pointing down at the floor So this is where people struggle every once in a while because it's really hard because your elbows up in the air now To stay consistent. So just make sure you really pop that elbow up And that'll keep your finger angle in the right position So I'm just gonna work my way all the way through this back side of the head and then we're gonna continue on with the top So I hope you're enjoying the video so far and if you're confused by anything that I'm talking about Don't worry.

How did we get our length? I pulled the length as a guideline from the back. So I just connected that through So I'm gonna do that same thing on the opposite side One other thing to make sure of is as I work through the top of the head I'm always combing the guide to the new hair to the new section because I'm traveling So I want to move that guide travel that guide with it and then I get to the end pull everything straight up Which you can see here So I do the same thing on the opposite side just showcasing that shape a little bit now We're gonna work the same exact thing on the opposite side. So notice grab my guideline I'm gonna comb that guide towards the new section and then cut it then I'm gonna do the same thing on the next section and then when I get to that round of the head I'll over direct everything straight up in the air All right, so now we're gonna do our style and finishing with one of my favorite products. This is Paul Mitchell quick slip I love the versatility of this product. It's super lightweight. It has a nice condition feel to it I call it kind of like a gel, but it's more of a cream base And doesn't have a crunchy hold so a lot of flexibility to it Love this product put it in blow dry flat wrap everything around using my ergo Diamond head brush available on shop FSE and then I use my Paul Mitchell Pro tools Smoothing iron just to smooth everything out get it ready for the dry cut now This is what I think is so funny So let me know what you think of the style right here when you look at it Some people are probably freaking out inside thinking. Oh, I don't love this. Some people are like, oh my god I do love it would wear it just like that Who are you? Which one are you? But The thing for me is this is a canvas now to create So what I do is I do the precision cut on the wet hair and then now once I blow it dry I've got all this hair to work with and I've got a really nice shape within it So I do a little point cutting through the top that's gonna lighten up the shape that I did I cut it I'm point cutting it opposite of how I cut it So when I cut it I worked vertical sections through the top and then I go horizontally through and cut it now I wanted to try off this kind of bottleneck bang In theory, they're saying that this is a trend. It kind of looks like a bottleneck So it starts off a little small kind of pinch in the front and then it gets wider Towards the cheekbones kind of wraps around the cheekbones. So I just go through a chisel out a little bang This is my kind of trying this out. I'm gonna make more videos about this bang later But I wanted to try it in this style. So really really fringy look You can let me know what you think of this version of it Like I said, I will do some more coming up and if you've done it before let me know as well I'd love to see that so you can just see how it's kind of fringy now a work through dry cutting half closing the scissor Working that length out just a little bit. I didn't need that much length And now you can see that shape and how it kind of unfolds how it is like a shag But it's also kind of pixie feeling as well You know, I really like this haircut I love the way that it turned out. I love the vibe of it. I think it's very salon friendly So if you're looking to change somebody up, it's also an easy haircut to grow out So it's an easy change for people. Oh Paul Mitchell flexible style worked up This is one of my favorite hair sprays on the planet nice dry texture spray. It's got a good hold to it And there's our finished look.
