 Alright guys, so on today's vlog, what we're going to focus on is creating a face frame. Now a lot of you guys have submitted questions asking about how do you create a face frame without creating a lot of layering. So one question was on Instagram, this is from Beauty by Ashley Perosi. She says, can you please do a face frame on really long hair? Something easy. Sometimes I feel like I get too many layers and I hate how it looks, especially when they have a part. So much going on on one side and not much going on on the other, I need help. Here we go Ashley. So today I put together the vlog. This is going to show you how to create a face frame, keep a balanced look. Balanced look does not mean that each side is the same length. It means that you're working with two different densities, one side is heavier than the other side so you have to cut both sides different. That's what we're going to focus on today. This is our end result, kind of hard to see, it's windy outside. You'll see it at the end of the video. Quick video, easy technique, definitely salon friendly. I think you guys will like it. Post in the comments below, let me know what you think, what you want to see next in future vlogs and also, yeah, hit the like button. All right guys, here we go. Let's get started. All right guys, we're going to start off by parting the mannequin where they part their hair. So this is the left-hand side parting and then I'm going to draw a line two inches from the hairline down to behind the ear. It's a diagonal back line so I'm really following the head shape which is great because that's what a face frame does, it follows the head shape as well. So we're going to start off with nice medium elevation. The more you elevate a face frame, the lighter it's going to be. So I think a lot of people cut the face frame super low down below the chin and what happens is you get too much of a build up of weight. I think a lot of people treat the front of the hair differently than they do the back of the hair. But they don't realize that if you elevate the back of the hair, it's lighter, it has more layers. It's the same thing with the front of the hair so the more you lift it up, the more you elevate the hair, the lighter it's going to be, the less density is going to be there, the more you're going to layer it. So you just want to make sure when you're working a face frame, a lot of clients complain about the fact that it's too heavy, it's lifeless, it doesn't really work. So going in, using that medium elevation is a nice starting point. If they have a higher density, definitely raise up your hand a little bit and then work that finger angle to create the angle that you're looking for. Over direction works as well but sometimes it layers it a little bit too much. So that's why I'm choosing to work with my finger angle this time. So now we're going to work on the opposite side. Same diagonal back section, two inches in. I grab a bit of hair for my guideline from the opposite side. And another thing I want you to notice here is that as I'm working on the left hand side of the head, I have a whole different elevation. And the reason for that is this is the weaker side. So it's the less dense side. So if I were to hold it up the same exact way as I did the other side, it would fall too light. I would remove too much weight and it wouldn't look balanced. So I'd say the key things for you to focus on when you're cutting a face frame, to get it right every single time, look at the density, look where you're parting the hair, focus on your elevation, focus on your finger angle. And you should have a way more successful face frame. So now we're going to kick it in. We're going to stylize so you guys can see the end result. I use the brocato mousse that I use in a lot of different videos. It's a nice light hold mousse, doesn't have a sticky feel to it. I'm going to go through. I got my Ergo paddle brush, my Ergo blow dryer. A lot of people have questions about the Ergo dryer because you can never hear it. It is loud. It is definitely a loud, powerful dryer. And it's a nice, small, compact design. The thing I love about the Ergo dryer is the fact that every single part on the dryer is replaceable. So it can be the last blow dryer you ever buy. It's super powerful, like I said. Polishes the hair really nice. But it is not a quiet dryer. But that's not what I look for in a blow dryer. So it's definitely one of my favorites. So we get it all polished out. Now I'm just going to smooth the ends. This is the Vibra straight iron from Bercato that I use in all the videos as well. Nice ceramic plate to it. And I go through and I just polish the ends. The blow dry part is all about working the scalp to mid-shaft. So I work that with the brush. I'm using the paddle brush because it has a nice tight tension to it. And then I go through and just polish the ends with the iron, given a nice slight bend to go with the head shape. And then that finishes off our style. So I'm going to finish everything with the Bercato Maximum Hold Hair Spray. Nice clean hold. Gives it some shine. But you can see how that face frame just wraps right around. Nice soft feel to it. Not super thick. You can see the balanced weight distribution from the different ways that we cut each side.
