 What's up guys welcome to today's video today what I'm gonna share with you guys is how to cut an A-line bob With your scissors, so let's break down the sectioning from the front half We're gonna draw four triangles and then right off the back crown We're gonna draw one more triangle and that points gonna come down to the occipital bone area I'm gonna clip both sides away, and we're gonna start straight down the vertical Section in the back so now as I pull that out notice that I'm gonna work From the center back to the right-hand side So the reason I chose to do that is because this is my weaker side my elbows up in the air It's a little harder for me to stay consistent So I like to work with my weak side first so I can really focus on it and get that shape where I want it to be Then I move to my strong side after and it's super easy to connect it So hope you guys like that tip as I'm working through the back here I'm gonna get slightly more diagonal forward with each parting that I take Clipping everything away staying nice and consistent and just making sure that my finger angle as I cut mimics the partings that I take So notice how I get a little bit more diagonal forward as I work through my finger angle stays parallel to the parting Which is really important and then also do not worry a lot of hairdressers want to tuck their fingers in and Take away some of this length on the graduation here But we want that length for later when we go it's a cut the actual line that is going to be in the cut So let that hair kind of play out what it is Create your consistent shape throughout and then we'll worry about that length later Another pro tip take a look at how tight when I comb back the section I don't leave any loose hair So I really take that tight teeth of the comb and I comb right at the root all the way through So you get nice consistent lines in the cut It's very important to make sure that we get a nice structure in this haircut You can see that shape that we're starting to build And now we're gonna work our strong side Which is gonna have my fingers pointing up towards the sky my elbow down Same angle same guideline just working my way through So in these last sections as you probably saw on the other side everything is just coming straight back to me So we're really building a horizontal line You can see I cross check it there a horizontal line Parallel with my shoulders if I'm standing looking straight back at the head Everything's coming straight back to me So we're really building that nice horizontal line in the back and now we're gonna work that top triangle section in the crown area With this section, I'm gonna do everything. I'm gonna mimic what I did at the bottom So my fingers are now pointing down. This is the weak side or my weak side So I comb everything out and over and I'm just gonna work that line now if you wanted a little Less graduation just elevate a little bit more. It's up to you Really depends on the density of your client that you're working with so just keep bringing everything over now I I follow and I find my guide and I just cut through everything still again coming straight back to me Cutting parallel with my shoulders Nice horizontal line across and we're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side. So this is working on my strong side Fingers are gonna point towards the sky and I'm just gonna bring everything out follow that guideline all the way through All right, so now that we've completed the back we're gonna move into the side Now I'm gonna start on the left-hand side and I'll work my way over to the right-hand side Just taking vertical sections and over directing everything back notice that I broke this section in half It's too tall for my fingers basically so I cut it in half and then I work my way To the bottom of this section now, I think elevation is just so important at this point of the haircut Where a lot of times we'll just end up with too much weight So notice as I take these sections and you'll notice it even more when I get to the next triangle up But just notice my elevation is a little bit higher. It's up It's following that line that I've been creating in this cut that makes it nice and light around the perimeter line I think what happens too often is that we cut everything so low And then we end up with too heavy of a perimeter line and then when we go to cut that nice line at the end Dry, it's just too thick. It doesn't have that balance that we're looking for so you'll notice it in the end result, but You'll see that it's nice and light when I go to cut through it's super simple And it's those little tricks that save you so much time in the slum when you're cutting hair All right, so you can see that line that we've created now We're gonna work the last two triangles in this cut and we're gonna watch it from an overhead view But just know and you'll see how far I pull this hair out I'm I'm elevating it quite a bit because this is the heaviest point So it's already wrapped up over that parietal ridge area, which is gonna give it even lower Elevation which is gonna create even more density more weight. So if you want to lighten up somebody's Hairline all you have to do is elevate just slightly as you work through these last few sections So see how it comes out to me Elevated up, but I'm still following that line that I created in the cut Now we're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side and there we go. So now I'm gonna start blow drying I'm going to do a flat wrap technique using the ergo diamond head brush my favorite Brush that we sell we sell it on shop fse.com if you're looking for a brush But it's a mini paddle brush. I love this thing for short hair medium hair Doing a flat wrap technique to just really build in the shape of the head into this dry portion So that when I go in to do my dry cutting it's falling nice and natural Then I go in I smooth it out with a smoothing iron just kind of Bend the hair slightly Following the curve of the head not curling it But just bending it a little bit to follow that curve So you can see that shape starting to build in there and then Finish it up a couple more swipes with the iron And we'll be ready for our dry cutting What I really am excited for you guys to see is what it looks like already without the Dry cutting the outer perimeter part so you can see this shape that kind of unfold But look at that outer perimeter line so you can see the head shape actually happening So what we're going to do is just go in and cut the actual line that we want the perimeter to be What too many people do is they think about this line from the get-go and they start cutting it in wet It's so much better If you just let the interior of the haircut build itself and then go in with the tip of the scissor Just refine your edge create whatever the outer perimeter is that you want Like you could see i'm taking a little bit extra length off of it Connecting the pieces together didn't want so much of an angle in there Just want it to be nice and soft to really mimic that Graduation that we built in the haircut.
