 Welcome to today's vlog. So today I've got my guest Toby. He's back from school So I've done a haircut on him before this one's gonna be a little bit different little more clean cut Slight disconnection not really too much definitely longer on top But the cool thing about Toby's hair is it's a nice and thick coarse wavy hair So I think you guys will get a lot of techniques from that we get out the texture scissors We create texture on the top of his head so a lot of techniques to come Hope you guys like it make sure you subscribe below if you haven't done that already subscribe to the channel Also, let me know if you have any questions or comments below love hearing positive feedback Anything that you guys want to see coming up and also if you have questions about this technique make sure you post them All right guys, let's get started with the vlog here. We go all right guys So as you can see Toby has not gotten a haircut probably since Christmas break So he waits and waits until he comes back from school so I can give him a cut again, which is pretty cool I've been doing his hair for a really long time So I love having a guest like that. So we start off. I go in I'm using a three and a half blade With my andis supra ZR clipper. So this is one of the newest detachable blade clippers that andis has to offer It's super powerful. I love the detachable blades because of the power But the problem is that they don't have half sizes for the most part as you work through So sometimes you need a little extra help with fading. So I'll use the andis Master series clipper towards the end to get a little bit the tighter fade I'll also use a lot of scissor over comb techniques to also Fade the hair as well. So I like to use a few different tools as I'm working with men's hair I'm not a barber. I don't do a lot of tight fading This is a very standard haircut that I would do on a guy who comes in so I use different tools to create the look So we start off again. I'm using a three and a half blade from andis so That's gonna get a nice medium length for me Then I'm gonna go through I'm using my ys park 209 comb with the triple zero blade And what I like about that is I get really tight to the comb So basically where I'm holding the comb is where I'm gonna cut and I go through and do a lot of clipper over Comb work. I'm a clipper over comb guy if you don't like doing that You could fade this more with a blade or a guard if you wanted to But I like going through and doing a little more freehand work When as I'm fading the hair up. So really we're building up a graduated line with the clipper over comb So the thing I like most about the 209 comb and using that to work through first off It's about the size of the clipper blade. It's a little bit smaller than that But not much so I don't have to worry about falling off of the comb and cutting a hole in the hair And also it's a really flexible comb So as I'm working through if I want to get tighter to the scan and kind of fade out Then I can do that with this comb as well We have it in all different colors on our website and freesaloneducation.com This is the white version. I like using a white one on darker hair I like using the black comb on lighter hair. It just allows you to see the hair coming through the comb better So again working my way up now one thing that you'll notice when I'm working clipper over comb now that I'm on this side I'm always trying to work the hair off away from the face first off You don't want to throw hair into your client's face, but second. It's always good to be Working the hair in the same direction. So if I'm working the hair back off the head on the one side I want to do the same exact thing on the other side. So now this is where I was talking about I'm going through this is using a zero guard With my andis master series clipper So just to tighten it up a little bit more around the hairline give it a more natural hairline This is something I've learned from putting out Quite a few different men's cutting videos and the biggest comment usually is why didn't you take that neckline a little tighter? So here you go guys. We go a little bit tighter gives it a little more longevity Really when I think about why am I doing this? I'm doing it for Toby's sake because he doesn't come in for haircut as often So I go a little bit closer with it and fade it up Now we're gonna go through this is a ys park spray bottle If you guys are interested in getting a spray bottle like this, let me know We're thinking about bringing it on to our shop on free salon education So that's something you think you would like then let me know Still using the ys park 209 comb now going in with my Mizetani This is the solid blacksmith fit solid scissor at a seven inch length The reason I like using seven inch length for scissor over comb is because it gives me Not more hair to cut so I think a lot of people Think of it as I can cut more hair at a time You're not really doing that But it gives me a longer reach to reach over the comb to allow me to have Easier access to that hair that's coming up. So Seven inch Mizetani blacksmith fit solid now if you're looking at getting a new scissor You could check out free salon education comm use the code Matt Beck vlog you get 20% off the thing with the Blacksmith fit solid as it has really small finger holes I like that personally, but if you're somebody with really big fingers, then you might not like that scissor as much Maybe go with a blacksmith fit Regular scissor, but just get a longer length for that scissor over comb So as I work across the top of the head everything's coming straight out. So no over direction for the Basically the entire top of the head then when I get close to the forehead That's what I'm going to start to over direct it back The other thing that I'm doing here is I'm blending it a little bit into the side So you'll see me kind of rounding it off the reason I'm doing that is I don't want it to disconnected He's got really thick hair So if you had fine hair, I'd probably go straight across the top I wouldn't round off the sides of the corners like I am right there But because he has thick wavy hair, he's going to build up a lot quicker than somebody with fine Thinner hair. So now we're going in with the Mizutani type Z dual texture scissor The thing that's cool about this scissor is that there's no blade That gets in the way. So you go through both sides of the blade or texturizers So we go through we just do a little bit of blending work there We're gonna do a little bit more on the top in a minute. This is the Donald Scott naked blade Straight blade basically so I've been working with this a little bit They sent it to me. We're thinking about carrying this on the shop as well Let me know if you're interested in that. So I go through and just do the detail work around the edges All right, the last thing that I'm gonna do is we're gonna go in with our Mizutani type Z dual texture scissor And this is really gonna create texture take out weight a lot of guys with this type of hair I feel like it gets thick and bulky. So just going through doing some point cutting with the type Z dual texture scissor It's a really cool scissor for that and now I'm gonna go through and work on my styling Styling is really important with men's hair I think a lot of guys don't take the time to do it But if you think about it if I put product in my wet hair, it's just gonna dilute the product and you won't get that Hold all day. So we're gonna go in with the adh dry. This is Andrew does hair product. He sent it to me He's a good friend So I wanted to use it on the video So a lot of you guys probably know who he is if you don't follow at Andrew does hair on Instagram You'll see some of his work and you can pick up his product as well But we put the product in his whole motto is good hair doesn't come from a jar. It's all about the style all about the cut really just Creating that look blowing a dry nice and then just adding the product in to get that finish in touch So hope you guys like this cut.
