 What's up guys back two days in a row with the vlog so I'm feeling very confident about the content that's being created and I want to keep this momentum going today I want to focus on a men's cut now the men's cut that we're gonna do is one of my clients so it's gonna be a very salon friendly cut nice kind of taking in on the sides and then shorter but with a lot of texture on the top I have a really cool texturizing technique that I'm going to show you guys called channeling if you haven't ever done that before I know that a lot of clients out there asked for it so if you didn't know what it was now you will if you did know what it is it's a good little refresher to use the technique also he has a pretty wicked calic in the back of his head so I want to show you guys how to make that look more uniform kind of make it go together so a lot of things gonna happen in this haircut today make sure you post in the comments below let me know what you think I love seeing those comments here we go with our technique thanks for watching there's a lot of texture in it yeah which I think I like I think it's one little more style okay but you like the kind of shorter with texture I like I like it I like it longer but like this length and more is good I mean even a little shorter was okay but okay what about on the side this should be and especially back here and you used to do this cool thing where you just followed my follow your airline and then match the other side okay this top part do you want it to grow longer than it is maybe a little low but just a little so we'll just texturize okay the size will take in a little bit okay all right guys so we're gonna get Mark draped up thank you to Minerva beauty.com for the capes love the quality of them we're gonna start off using our three guard on our andis master series clipper and I'm just gonna work all the way up to the bridal ridge and then kind of slightly pull the clipper out as I get to the bridal ridge which is gonna build up that nice graduation line in the haircut and I what I want that graduation line to do is follow his head shape so I wanted to keep a little bit of weight right at his recession point you can see where it kind of goes back just a little bit so I wanted to leave that length in there so that when we style the hair you know it gives a little bit of a cover up at that point but I also like the look of the style that way as well then I'm gonna work the clipper through the back now this is my three guard like I said before I didn't want to go too much tighter than that because if you look at Mark's the perimeter line of his haircut it gets pretty weak and also has some calyx so he's got a lot of hair but most of his hair is on the top of his head around the edges it's definitely a completely different density so I think that's something you'll find in a lot of men's haircuts that you do it's like you can really see that difference and a women's cut you can't really see it that much but with a men's cut you can definitely see that his density is a lot lighter around the edges so just go through and work it and now I'm gonna go in with my Mizutani solid this is a blacksmith fit solid scissor it's one of the newer scissors for Mizutani it's titanium finish so it's got that black look to it but it's a seven inch blade I love this for scissor over comb it's got a lot of power and I'm just gonna go through and now blend that graduation that I created so I like doing a lot of scissor detail work I go through with the clipper just to get most of the work done get my length the way that I want it and I go in and I customize it with the scissor the difference for me between a scissor and a clipper is a clipper is gonna kind of pass over a lot of hair at once but it kind of rides each ridge of the head and a scissor is gonna give you a little more fine-tuned detail because you're not cutting as much hair at once so obviously I can work that comb around the ridges of his head keep the balance feel to the haircut and that's pretty much it for that now I'm gonna go through and I'm going to saturate the hair and start working the background area now I'm going in with my Mizutani DB 20 scissors the 5.7 inch scissor I love this for any precision cutting that I do and I'm gonna go through and work the crown now I start in the very middle and then I work my way out to just behind the ear and you'll notice that I push the hair on whatever side I'm on I push it towards the center that keeps a consistent line for my guide as I work my way around a lot of people just kind of pull up men's hair and start cutting at it and they might do a lot of point cutting to blend it I still like to have a precision feel in a lot of the men's cut now we're gonna go through the top and I'm gonna do a complete point cut to create that texture if you remember in the consultation that I kind of showed you guys the reason I want to show you that is because first off it shows how kind of confusing you can get listening to somebody talk about what they want with their hair so you got to really kind of pry those questions out but he said that he didn't really want to lose a lot of length on top so what I'm doing is just adjusting the top so I'm going through and creating a lot of texture with the point cutting but then kind of rounding off the edges because I don't want to square off his head too much I want it to kind of flow with his head shape so we just continue throughout the top of the head at the very end right around his forehead I over direct it back just to pull a little extra length into the front that goes with his style I like there I don't like it to all be the same length throughout the entire top and then I go through and I blow dry you'll notice I do a lot of blow drying with my men's cuts because it's just like a women's cut you want to finish it you want to blow dry the hair so it sits the right way so that you know that your cut has the right balance to it and you don't have certain weight lines in there so now I'm going to go through with my tea trimmer this is a andis cordless tea trimmer I'm going to go through and really just sharpen up the edges so just going around each part of the haircut I want it to be nice and clean looking again it's he's got a weaker hairline so as I'm going through and around I make sure that I put those nice sharp lines into it to really make it stand out now we're going to tackle the calyx this is probably the most important part of Mark's haircut and probably the most challenging part is to blend the calyx to make sure that it just looks as natural as possible so I go through I take it as short as I can I don't fight the way that the hair wants to lay I think that's the biggest thing is when you go in there you don't want to lift the hair and push the hair where it doesn't want to be because no matter what it's going to pop up and look like that so I go through it now you can also see that it kind of grows out longer in different places so what I do is I go through and I just bring the hairline up just a little bit to match kind of the length that we're at you're still going to see some different patches in there that's there's nothing you can do about that I don't want to take it up too far so I just try to keep it as natural looking as possible and work through there and what you'll notice is I will go in and I'll keep taking that part a little bit shorter but you can see that it's starting to blend already so now we're going in with our three guard closed and that's the blade as short as it can go and I'm just going to go through and just tighten up right around that back area like I said I wanted to take that calic a little bit shorter and now I'm going to go in with my two guard open that's the longest that a two guard can go and just take that a little bit tighter alright so now we're going to go in with our texturizing technique this is called channeling I'm using my Mizetani puffin you can use a regular cutting scissor for this you just want to make sure that you open and close the blade as you slide it across what you're doing is creating little pieces throughout the haircut and creating a ton of texture it's a really fun technique it's something that guys get addicted to they want it every single time they come in and now we're going to do another kind of point cutting technique where I take my hand I lift up the hair and as it falls out of my hand I point cut through it just adding some more channels and different peaks and valleys in the haircut create that textured look at the end that's a pretty good look at it you're not cutting a lot of hair doing this you just want to go in and just take out some light pieces so last little detail work around that calic so finishing up Mark's haircut with the type Z dual texture scissor just helps blend any wait lines that I see the very end of the haircut and that's pretty much it I
