Since I'm teaching it again tonight, we're going back to calling it hump day hair party. Tonight we got Christina with us. We got Thad and Justin running the chat room. So any questions you guys have, they've got you covered. Yeah, so tonight I'll be teaching the class, and believe it or not, we'll be doing a cutting class. So I was talking to Matt about what to do, and this is actually a haircut that I've really, really been loving lately because I've been doing variations of this haircut over and over again, adjusting it to fit whatever I need it to fit. So I wanted to show you guys just the basics of the haircut, and as I go along, I'm gonna show you what I changed to fit each person that I think it's gonna work on. I believe we called this video or this class the versatile undercut Bob, Brian's Bob, I don't know, something like that. But basically what it's gonna be, it's gonna be a nice undercut. And what's cool is it is gonna be able to work for all types of different textures, densities, just different hair types because it's either going to be used for getting like a really fun PC texture Bob, which we see a lot of, or being able to give somebody who's got way too much hair that should never get a Bob, they can now get that nice sleek type Bob because of getting that undercut in there. So it's cool, we're gonna go through, it's a really quick haircut, so pay attention because it's gonna go by super fast. It's, yeah, alright, so I guess that's it. There's nothing else I want to go over in the beginning, not really. Just a heads up, you guys will notice so that we don't start getting hate comments about body position and all that business. I use double swivel scissors, so I don't have to worry that hard about body position. No, but it's super fun. I got the Mizutani Sword Speedstar D19. It's got my double swivel in there, it's got my weight along the blade right in the middle, so it helps me get mega, mega cuts. I'm a really big fan, I've been using these scissors for quite a while now, and I absolutely love the cutting power and precision that I get from them. Yeah, I think that's about it, that's about all I want to say right now. Boy's good, got anything good? Why does Zach say that? Was I Mike when I said that? That's hilarious. I'm not going to go pee, I'm going to wait, I'm going to show my dedication. That and the Mike would follow me in there and that would be even worse than you hearing me say I have to do it. Alright, so just to give you a heads up, one of the things that I like about this Bob is so many times someone will bring us a picture and we're used to taking weight out of a haircut like that by layering it from the outside, layering all that weight by taking off the outside but that's not always the look that we're trying to achieve. Oh we also have Draya tonight, if I'm going to do a roll call I've got to tell everybody, Draya just got here. So what I like about this Bob is it's going to be able to give you the look, that more one length kind of look where it sits, it looks like it sits a little bit heavier without having all of that weight taken from the outside, which is cool because they feel like that's a neat look, it gives it a little bit more of an almost avant-garde severe look but it's not something that every texture of hair can handle and that's where when we come in with our dry cutting in the end, that's where you're going to be able to leave that more of a longer outer layer to it. So that's cool, because of that we're going to be working off of her natural part since it's a manic and there's no such thing as a natural part because it's not a real person. So I decided this is her natural part for the day, working off the natural part, just going to come and I'm going to bring my sections, based on the density that you're working with is going to be really how far you want to make sure you take this back. I'm not bringing it all the way back to the back hairline but if she's got an insane amount of hair then you're going to be able to come just behind that, just behind the ear. Her density, it's a little on the light side so I'm really going to fall just behind that ear and let myself enough hair up front to really get the line that I'm looking for. So this is just beautiful. This is going to be Matt's favorite cutting video that we have. Watch this is going to win a hair brand award next year. Coming around, same thing on the other side. When I chose this mannequin I thought I was choosing the perfect mannequin because she felt like she had a ton of density to her hair but apparently when I blew it out last I just did a really good job because she doesn't have that much hair upon washing. So instead it's going to be one of the examples of how you can use it to get kind of a cool edgy PC, very modern sought after look with this Bob kind of effect. So now this is the part where you're really going to have to pay attention to what their density is and what your desired outcome is. Because we're doing an undercut that means we're lifting up the outermost layer of this hair and cutting out everything underneath. Most of the time when you do this you're not going to want to be able to see through what you have left over as a Bob. You know that might be your desired look if so cool go for it but pay attention to what you're doing here because however high you section this for the undercut is going to decide how much you can see through that Bob. So working off of that still natural part just try to bring it to center. Like it's not a hard diagonal but it's also not straight back down. I just make sure that when I end at the bottom I end up in the center. Come off. It's going to a good place to start to decide exactly where your undercut is going to sit just go to the occipital bone because that's always a nice easy place for the head curves and drops off and you're going to have that natural hang from the hair anyway. So go with the occipital bone do some diagonal forward sectioning and then I'm going to move to this side of the head so you can see and then as I bring this down comb it and see if you can see through the hair. I mean it's wet so it's going to offer a little bit of clumping but I don't know can you zoom in? Yeah you're there Christine I forget you're a pro. So then you see is this enough you know is it going to leave me enough hair to work with afterwards because even after I cut this I'm going to go back through and do a lot of dry cutting with the tease cutting which is going to thin that out even more. So if you feel like this is not quite enough hair then by all means drop your line down a little bit lower to give yourself a little bit more hair to work with. If you're trying to create the illusion of this being just a solid bob generally that's what you're going to do when you're working with someone who's got more hair and you're taking all of this underneath out of the equation to get a bob that will hug then that's when you're going to want to really make sure that you can't see through. If you want something a little bit peaceier then you can go a little bit higher because it'll end up peaceier. Any questions boys and girls? Hi Brian. No, okay. No you're doing very well explaining this. All right now I know I just want to share because I can see it now this is not the only way to do a haircut ever. This is not the only way to do this haircut ever. This is my way of doing this haircut that I'm enjoying doing that I would like to share with you and if you'd like to try it then try it. If you'd like to change it, change it. But don't sit here and think that I'm telling you this is how you always have to cut hair because it's not. So I've got her sectioned off and this is part of where I'm talking about my undercut, the way that I like to do it. I'm going to hold this all every single section of this out straight out from the head with a very, very minimal amount of graduation to it. I don't know what the degree is. I don't have a protractor and honestly I don't care. So long as it's held at a nice high elevation so that it tapers very quickly and hugs that head that's all I'm looking for. I also, I do want it to have a tiny bit of graduation though instead of a layer because I do want it to sort of pop out what's not undercut. The bob that's left over, I want the undercut to sort of knock that out a little bit because it's going to give it more swing, it's going to blow, it's going to have a more interesting look rather than just hanging and being stuck to the head. Hey. Protractor's heavier density hair versus a lighter density hair for this haircut. All right, Sab, we got a question. All right, so protractors aside, what would your advice be for the people out there if somebody had a heavier density hair or a lighter density hair? All right, for, it's also going to be based on what you want that end result to be. Like the higher graduation is obviously going to remove more hair because if you move really high with the graduation then it goes into layering. And once you layer that hair, then you're taking out the maximum amount of weight so if they have a ton of density you're going to want it to hug that head closer so maybe going in and actually layering it would be a better choice for you. The other reason that I like to hold the sides is because I like that space left right in here because this area when you do have a bob on somebody, especially if they have a lot of hair, gets very dense. It gets very heavy because everyone grows tons of hair right behind their ears. It's why bald guys still have hair here because everybody grows hair. I didn't point fingers but if you're a gun to volunteer yourself, no you're not bald that. It's a joke. No, that's taken. We're good. There's always a lot of hair right here so I'm coming straight out from the head rather than over directing everything back because I'm not trying to push weight forward. I really just want weight gone so that all of the weight that I have chosen to leave is from the bob that hangs out over the top. Cool. Did I answer your question or did I just answer like 11 other questions that nobody asked? You totally answered the question. Solid. I figured that we might as well talk about density while you're talking about the angles and stuff like that. Hey, I'm cool with that. Can you see we're good? We have a nice angle here. Do I need to move? Director. You go with that? I can turn her and hooch. What? That just happened. Alright, so like I said, a little bit of an angle out from the head but still nice and close because I'm looking for this to really just collapse. Double swivel scissors. It's the only way I can teach a cutting class without not having a heart attack. A little bit of the previous section just to make sure that I'm being consistent with my length. Holding this straight out from the head. Find that guide. Be consistent. How's it look guys? Looking awesome from this angle. I'm going to become Freestylen Education's master cutter. Watch out. I'm going to come out with my own scissors next year. It is now. And it is Brian. Still maintaining. Like I said, the consistency straight out from where it lives. Coming back onto the other side. Again, taking a little bit of what I've already cut. You can see me. You're good. Do you love life? Yeah, like that. Something that I picked up that I guess I should say, talking about proper hair cutting. When you move over to this side, you want to make sure that before you cut, you comb the hair that you're about to cut. So I know that sometimes that's hard. I still have to watch myself because it's just habit to want to always come on the side that my hand is on for the last one just because whatever. But don't be lazy. Don't grab that. Actually come and get the hair that you're about to cut to keep it nice and consistent. Right, Matt? I wish that Matt was mic'd right now so that you guys could hear how proud of me is. Alright. Again, straight back. Comb in the hair that you're cutting last. Nice and taut. Taut. Yes, Christina, that's a bandit on my finger. Because I have not cut myself. I honestly don't remember the last time I cut myself and my last haircut of a day. Like 20 minutes before I had to do a cutting class with the camera up really close on my finger. I got a chunk. Whatever. We all do it. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm about to cut your knuckle. Alright, so we've got our undercut. Is it a traveling gun? Is it a traveling gun? I have to remember what that means. Yes? I'm going to go yes. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Alright, so now that we've got our undercut we've got your undercut so now you have to determine what you want to do with your bob. The one thing that you whatever you want to change on this, this is one of those areas where you really decide exactly what you want it to do. This can either be a bob that lives way below the line that you cut. I tend to like having that line hit right where I've decided the length is. Like I it's just below her hairline because it's mannequin hair and it pops out and gets a little weird but a lot of times I'll have the bob hit right there. You can also choose what shape you want it to have. You can have a really sharp a-line. You can do it a little bit more square. You can do a little bit more round. Whatever you want to do. This is one of those areas where I need you to be artistic and not just do what I told you to do. Avery is loving the fact that Avery is in the house. It's because, I don't know, because I love you Avery, that's why. Brian's sassiness is going out to Avery tonight. There you go. I dedicate this sass. You think it's sassy now? Matt just left the building. Watch out. Oh, Kristine is still here. We have the other one. Alright, so for the sectioning for the haircut I'm going to make sure that I can do this and you can see me at the same time. Where do you want me? Where do you want my life? We're good with this? See my elbows? Alright, so I've got my undercut here. I'm going to choose to do this with a very, very, very slight graduation at like super-duper slight and a little bit more square. I'm going to bring everything back to a nice flat plane so that I just have a small a slight kick forward. Nothing like really, really harsh, like hard a-line, but I do want it to still move forward. So, everything's going to come back to a point at a very slight elevation just to give it that little bit of bevel as it drops down. I still have her head tilted forward just a little bit. Just to help me with my my slight graduation. Okay. I don't understand. I don't understand the uh... Do you like my bed? Maybe got that. We can tilt. You good there? Alright, so now I've got my hair I'm deciding. Alright, right around here is where it's going to have to be cut to keep it consistent with the baseline that I've already created. And now when I said I'm going to give it the ever, ever so slight graduation, I'm not going to hold it way out here. Let me see the angle of way out here when I say that. Let me slide this. I'm going to rotate my lady. You like that? Okay. I'm not holding it way up high. I'm keeping it down low, but it's still elevated. It's a slight elevation but anytime it's lifted above that natural fall it is technically still elevation. So I got everything coming straight back to me. Keep it nice and tight. That low elevation Trying to get you as many angles as possible here. Keeping that nice tight flat plane. Making sure especially as you get to these edges that you're not over directing or weirdly combing. Like everything should be coming straight back like a box to you. So just take a glance up at the root and make sure that from the root that's coming straight to you. Our spa music is so relaxing. I don't know if you guys can hear it over the mics. At least it's not the waterfall right now for you. Is that what I was going to say? True story. We're the battling creek. Just cleaning that up. And now it's up to you. It just depends on how you work best whether you want to go side to side. Or all the way up one quadrant and then all the way up the other. I tend to like to do side to side just because I don't know. It's just my preference. It's my prerogative. What? Do we charge extra for rotating the power? I don't know. I'm wondering if the, can the mics hear you guys? Are you reading those questions out? We got a question that says do we charge extra for rotating our ladies and we're a little confused. Please elaborate. Because I've been rotating the mannequin head back and forth. They're being funny. Chagging myself. Christina just LOL'd. Grabbing from the area behind the ears. Just giving myself a little visual. I mean a little check. It's actually not visual. I'm doing it by feel. Just to make sure that we're good. But I'm not looking. Like I'm looking away. You can't see on camera. Just looking away in the distance. I'm staring lovingly off into the night. And then I'm going to continue up the head. That was a technical move everyone. You have to do it. Exactly. Going side by side. And what's to make sure to check yourself and make sure that you're getting, you're keeping your graduation as low as it may be. Graduation consistent. When you go to pull it it'll still be that nice solid line that it was when you just cut it. If you hold it too high it's going to get spiky on you and it's not going to be that nice solid line that it's time to either drop it down or raise it up a little bit higher. I'm trying to keep. I'm not, like I said, I'm not looking to create a stack here. So I'm not doing a high graduation. I'm not elevating it each time. I really am just keeping that same consistent very low graduation because all I'm looking to achieve here is a very slight bevel. Christopher Pollyu just says and flux this and I don't, he just says ask Brian. It's a haircut that I really like from the movie. Oh, the movie? That's what I figured. It's Christopher. Yeah, it's Chris. Pollyu. Never mind. I'll fill you in again later. Thank you. Oh, Chris. Sorry, Chris. Can you see? I feel like you can't see my cutting line. Let me slide over. Catch. There she goes. Do we like that? Can you see it okay, Chris? Yeah. See, there's my line. It's not spiky and weird. Not spiky. Just check. Make sure we're good. Again, keeping everything nice and tight like a toy good. Christopher just started laughing at us. I would laugh at us too. I usually do. I think we're funny. I love you guys. I always thought you were laughing with us, Brian. Maintaining, all right. It's real tempting as you get up to these last couple of sections that there's just this much left. But you got to maintain consistency. I promise it makes a difference. And working with Matt has really shown me that those little things that you think are cutting edges are really just throwing you off. So even though there's just that little bit left, I'm still going to save it and make it its own section just to make absolute sure that I keep that consistency with this haircut. So again, coming back. Checking my graduation. See, notice the positions of my cutting hand. I get to be a little bit more free with it because I've got the double swivel. This is what I'm talking about. I like the freedom of the swivel because rather than having to get all up in there and get down on it. Get in there. I have the ability to just flip with the scissors and stay at whatever level I need to to get a nice clean cut line. I know that these types of scissors are not for everyone, but for someone like me, they very much are. I think they're the devil. They've always worked really well for me. They just aren't comfortable with it, and that's totally fine. That's why they make different kinds of everything on Earth. I will say though, watching you use those makes it look easy to use them. And God, it's not. I wouldn't have enough of them. It's not easy to use, it's just a comfort thing. It really is. But again, just trying to pick them up and get comfortable with cutting them, you make it look like it's just another parachute you're picking out. Well, and some of the other really big benefits of it, it really staves off the problems like carpal tunnel and all that stuff, because for one thing, the distance, what camera are we at? The distance between my thumb and ring finger when they're closed is substantially farther than normal shears. And it's getting from here to here that helps bring carpal tunnel on faster. So the fact that these scissors are closed and my fingers are that far apart, it just buys me who knows how much more time before that issue becomes an issue in my life. There are other scissors that move to shears like these because they had wrist problems and then now say they don't have the wrist problems anymore. Which I love, so there are reasons for using them. Alright, so that last little bit I'm trying, you'll notice instead of bringing everything straight back let me turn and hooch, instead of bringing everything just straight back and cutting it like that, it's going to end up giving me more weight by the time I'm done. So really I'm just kind of checking out it's natural fall and then bringing my section up from there. So I see this here, some of it falls this way a little bit of it falls that way so that's how it's going to sit when I bring up the section to cut it. I'm not over directing anymore than I absolutely have to. Factory Fuel says excellent work guys keep up great work. Thanks. Shaefer, do you guys keep the head tilted forward the whole back half of the cut? For this one, yes. One, because it's mannequin and it's easy to do and two, it really just adds that extra little bit of graduation that I'm trying to achieve because if she's tilted forward and me holding it at this lower level technically it's a little bit further out than if her head was up and I was holding it at that same degree as far as my body goes. Does that make sense? Yes. Like that's a sensical thing like I held everything right here logical and I've got all this space here for her graduation if her head was straight up and I held at that same spot it's a little bit closer now. So that's what I mean by her being forward it does give me just a little bit more graduation and but you want to be careful with that because when you're doing this on a real guest we all know it's very difficult to make sure that they hold her head at that exact same position the entire time. I mean we've all oh god I'll never forget I was doing this like sick graduation that I picked up in a class one time and I was like oh this is going to be great and I'm sitting here and I'm working like super hard and every line is like perfect and sharp and then I get like all the way up I'm like in the crown of the head and that's when I decided to look in the mirror and see how she was doing and the girl was sitting like this I'm kidding even like she was almost like she was holding a phone and I was so upset when I like brought her head back up the haircut was all off and I'd start over it's horrendous. So if you are going to tilt them forward make sure you are very diligent about making sure that they stay tilted forward and don't go like crazy. Chris this says make sense to me. Thank you. You're welcome dear again just keeping everything nice and consistent pull it tight keep that line sharp underneath and bubble head customers. Yay! I know that's our lives. We know. Nah I mean. Alright so I bring her back up. And when you comb it back down you can see how it starts to get a little longer as we go up to the front but not crazy sharp a-line longer. It's just a little dip, a little kick. So then let's see where do we want to be let's find me a nice camera angle shall we? As we move into the front there are lots of ways that you can do this haircut because her density is a little bit lower. I get to do the fun cheater way to do this. If they have a high density you may want to continue over directing everything back to get that up but since we're doing nice and square we're going to move to the side over here I'm going to bring it down I'm going to check out my angle section this off and then just keep it going because I want this to be as heavy as I can get it before I go in and do my dry cutting. We know what you mean. They just say we know what you mean. Awesome. Love you guys. They're picking up what you're putting down. Love it. Told you. Master cutter. Sometimes I think the older guests are worse than the children. Alright so as we come into the side where you I wish I had like a disclaimer flashing across the bottom like artistic choice now this is where you have to decide what you want this to look like. Do you want to keep going with this little bit of a slope that you have and create a little bit more of a drop. Do you want it to be a little bit more square find your point and then just bring it straight forward completely up to you. I want you to do your own thing and tell me what you did. Me? I like that little angle with it. K-A-B-R I'm glad I found this channel. You guys are awesome. You're awesome. Shelly. Thank you Shelly. Alright so here's how I'm going to do it. I'm going to hold it out ever so slightly far from the head. Again not a whole lot of room in there for graduation but there is still a little bit of graduation. About the same as I used in the back just because that's what I'm comfortable with. Her head is not tilted and I'm working the angle that I chose to work with is a similar angle from what I'm expecting to cut down here because that's about the angle of the haircut itself so that's also going to be the angle that I hold it at with my fingers. Your fingers. Alex Blackston you are amazing. I love this live demo every Wednesday. Brian what comb are you using? Oh my god I love this comb. Again I use things that people find weird sometimes. It's YS Park this is the 331 is it? Yeah 331 it's typical awesome strong YS Park comb but it's super long. Crazy long. I just like it because I really like the weight of it so as I'm working it just flips well when I'm doing the thing. Yeah I'm a fan. I first love every YS comb I've ever used YS Park they make amazing combs. Or picked up or looked at they're all just so comfy. Even like a really tiny thin like super that tapered barbering comb usually I don't really like the tiny plasticky ones that are like really thin for like a really tight like taper but this thing just kills it. Loves it. I'm sorry I'm sorry to me I don't like to do something. Please don't break my computer. It broke me. Oh my god. Alright so you see we got fun deliciousness here we're going to come around do the same thing on the other side. Yes Maybe if you want the other side long. No do we like this now? I think we can tilt her a little more like that. Do you know the exact type of mannequin stand that is? It's from Pivot Point. Yeah I believe it's on the Friisland Education Shop that's what I'm trying to respond to but your computer is censoring. Okay so Rachel no one I like that maybe it's Raquel I'm sorry Raquel no one maybe it's Nooni um maybe it is I feel like what was that the guy who plays a Sean Connery on all the Celebrity Jeopardies Yeah so we that is uh you know I'm talking about I'll take horror. That's therapist. Yeah so that uh that stand is on the FSE website and it is fantastic. Yeah I like it I mean if you have if you work with a bunch or even if you just do it every now and then it makes such a difference to have a really good mannequin stand because nothing sucks worse than being in a class that you're really into and you can't get into the class because the entire time you're wrestling trying to find a way to get the head to stick on the thing or the leg is collapsing I mean we've been beating the hell out of these things for quite some time now and it's still in phenomenal shape so investing in a good mannequin stand really does make a difference. Okay it was noon sorry you want to get the other one um I was just going to respond by a text but summer the videos will be up later so you don't necessarily have to watch live but if you watch live you get to ask questions and you're a lot cooler if you watch them live because we can talk to you and those questions will have an instant response well it just helps because then you're like guaranteed you're pretty much guaranteed to get your question answered because you're able to ask us while we're doing it I like noon because she goes noon like lunchtime yeah she speaks our language just bring food in when is noon lunchtime it's always lunchtime I was going to say well that's like the first lunch and technically that's second lunch yeah that's like I mean Thad's like fifth meal of the day noon Drea just brought it up it's the Titan swivel tripod pivot points that's the one he's using right now and it's on our if you search pivot point it'll bring up two of them it's the first one he's using thanks Drea delicious I love it like lunchtime alright now comes like the super fun part of class where I just blow it dry so you guys feel free to jump in and chat with everybody and help me make this more interesting because all I'm doing is blowing it dry I'm just I'm going to try to blow it dry nice and smooth I just want it lunch I'm making soup what kind of soup and then just run through it with an iron at the end because I want it nice and straight I have done this haircut of people that have curly hair and you still need to go through this step because when your teeth cutting you just have more control over it when it's straight and smooth and all that stuff how they wear it in the end is completely up to them but on the people with curly hair I still will straighten it and get it nice and smooth before I do this cutting portion Gunner wants to know are you going to be doing any layering if so wet or dry I want to answer that and say if any dry because we're drying it right now I can't really hear you are you going to do any layering not traditional layering no I'm going to do teeth cutting from underneath to get the same desired effect that you would get from layering because what we're used to doing from here is layering this so that it wouldn't be a big pyramid triangle but I'm going to go in because I want her to be able to have that look you know because these days I feel like the people that bring in pictures of bobs have really thick hair and it's always a one length bob that they have a picture of so we're going to cheat and let her have the look of a one length bob you know without those short layers on the outside but still be able to achieve that with her thick thick hair Kristen can you please mail us one of those overnight some of that because it sounds fantastic we're only in Pennsylvania it's probably not far from where you are is this a spicy sausage or a sweet sausage what are we talking about Kristen she's talking about the soup she's making what right and Robin would like to say that we have given so much inspiration every week thank you thank you Robin thanks I hope you're still inspired after tonight's haircut that's a joke anything guys anybody have anything they want to add about this I'm thinking it's like I can't get these guys to shut up all day long I finally am asking them to chat and it's crickets in here are you going to be working with more flat wrapping the girl with the no microphone Draya's got a good point the kind of blow drying I'm doing yes I'm just flat wrapping the head which essentially the easiest way to think about how to do that is I'm using the round of the head to basically straighten the hair I'm just coming around wrapping the hair around the head and using that to smooth and straighten I'll see in a few hours Kristen by the way the bow tie is boss from Alex I thought that was you saying I was like thanks dad I've been telling them all day how cute he looks with that bow tie Roseanna goes oh yeah and I really want to picture the Kool-Aid guy totally okay somebody has this typical haircut any advice on doing the neckline with callix on doing the what? neckline with callix or with hard callix well because we went in there and cut that I mean you might just want to make that even shorter the undercut excuse me at the hairline just make it like tight rather than leaving length that's going to like kick out and go in crazy places because I'm leaving this long enough to hide the hairline you can also use the tight right if it's a matter of leaving it a little bit longer and you want to style it what Dreia was saying if you use something like something that's tighter like the teeth of a comb you'll be able to you know brush it back for back one way back the other way and that'll help to knock out any callix in there same thing as when you're trying to get rid of callix and bangs you just work on you focus on the root and you focus on controlling the direction of it so maybe it's sitting there and just focusing on the root and going this way and then coming back this way and what that'll do is it's going to pretty much knock out any strong worlds or growth patterns that you may come across generally it is it's your biggest ones are going to be hairline in the back and then hairline up front that's where I always see the strongest ones rock kellas are going to do anything specific anytime soon with prom season coming up and that's a maybe nothing definite yet yeah we were actually just discussing that I don't know last week I think we were talking about it saying that we want to start looking into doing some special special event hair so I try not to use the word up to is anymore formal hair because they're not all up to is anymore I mean especially these days and I notice one of the biggest things side note one of the biggest reasons that I try not to use the word up to anymore is because I notice people will get upset when they go to pay if they have their hair curled and down but it's still a formal style and then they find out they paid the same as the girl that has 95 bobby pins in her hair because everything is up so now it's just called formal styling can you explain because you're good at this the blow dryer that you're using we have a question from Ian asking if you're using a hot setting on it you want to explain why you're using that blow dryer and the settings on it real quick well the reason I'm using this blow dryer is because it's what's hanging from the ceiling right above me it's getting a little old school it's the Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Express Eye on Dry I like it because it's got a lower wind to it so rather than like it sort of gets rid of the urge to go in there and blast the hair all over the place because it's not a turbo jet engine and what that ends up resulting in is forcing you to work with control like rather than just sitting here and going everywhere and blowing the cuticle I'm using the low wind to really control it has two settings lower and higher the higher one has a hotter a hotter air to it and what that's doing it's using the low wind the hot air the ions and everything that are inside and it's just helping me get a really nice shiny smooth finish whereas you know if you grab a blow dryer that has super turbo jet engine you know blow to it then you know sometimes we'll try to get it done quicker and that can sacrifice some of the polish that you get in the blow dry you want to get to the point where when you blow dry you don't have to use an iron every single time I'm going to go through and use an iron on this when I'm done because I want it I don't want too much bend I want it actually poker straight yeah Dray what's your input on that you do a lot of hair styling did that get most of the question I can only hear I think you like hit it now in the head completely okay because I can only hear like I think I heard your whole question well I figured I'd ask you because like I said you're very in depth with your explanation of the tool and you're very good at it rather than just answering it's a medium heat so yeah no I think you 100% done what about you Dray what do you think jump in on this well like Brian was saying if you use the control on the blow dryer properly with the brush and tools you can do a blow dry without requiring a flat iron you should be able to get something smooth straight without always adding the iron heat to it but Brian's going to go through and just have that extra straightness that's going to just add that little extra polish to it it is a mannequin so Brian so that can you hear me Amy Barry no no no can you hear me Amy Barry can you hear me should we say your name so that's okay okay question about curly hair should I blow dry straight or keep the natural curl do you have a preference on this yes and you'll see as I go in I'm going to finish this up with a really cool tease cutting technique that's really what's going to make the whole haircut sing this is just sort of the foundational part but when you do the tease cutting you want that hair to be straight I have a couple of clients that I can think of right off the top of my head that I do this haircut on who have curly hair and the end result looks really good on curly hair but to get it and cut it properly you have to straighten it not only blow it out straight but then go back in and iron it super smooth because if you try to do it on curly hair that texture it's just not really going to what are you doing I got one I already have one what did you get a text whatever I Jesse Gray just wanted to add Brian your hair is on point thanks that's all thanks to Justin he did it for me last week Avery also loves your shoes I don't know how she sees your shoes I guess in the mirrors what's that I don't know how she sees your shoes I guess in the mirror oh yeah my gold boots um it's actually what we're using to reflect the light in the salon right now yeah I'm just really making sure that it's perfectly dry because I like to teach good habits and I don't want to sizzle hair in my and I'm just seeing myself on camera now fad because there's the lag my haircut looks great still I just want to say thank you I love you guys when I did the class last week he showed me some pictures and the first thing I said was like my my fade looks great that well thank you you're welcome um tell the guy in the background he disrupted the answer oh sorry so that was the question about the curly hair today I believe the uh the answer was that you do want to strain out the curly hair so that way you can go in with texturizing technique and make sure that all the lines are where you want them as well as uh to be able to style it a little bit better is that correct Brian yes I'm using the vibrating iron brocato and it's cracking me up it reminds me of my toothbrush because I have like the electric toothbrush that does the tone oscillating on my teeth so what it's doing when you close it it vibrates to make sure that the hair is all nice and smooth as you go through I promise rock and roll so I take it we answered the question now on the head boom son yeah now I'm just smoothing so I don't know what size sections do you like to take when you're going for a smooth well gigantic gigantic okay I would do the whole head in one section if the density called for it I got it nice and smooth so honestly that would depend on how good of a blow-dry you did because if you just go through and do a really rough terrible blow-dry with your hand and the hair is a mess from roots to ends and you're going to have to take really fine sections to get everything nice and smooth I did put that work in to get you know going with the round of the head got it nice and smooth from roots through the mid shaft so really I'm just sort of going through and making sure that these ends have a nice nice smooth soft taper to them and with the oscillating iron too you can kind of take a little bit more of a section than normally would because even without a good combing the oscillation is going to make sure all that hair is hit evenly in theory anything that vibration can't do I don't think so it is a pretty cool effect because it's so quiet in here that's like the noise of the iron you hear it on the microphone yeah it's the oscillating yeah thanks Jesse Thad you want to read that great comment? cause that's a great comment also a big shout out to fse.com I received clips they are amazing everybody should buy them and try them out both kinds are beneficial from Jesse Gray wow Thad you sounded like a robot it's my announcer voice for what the grass growing competition cause that's what it sounded like is it a nice back does baby got back Brian Scott back I don't know what I used her for this morning when I was brushing my teeth actually I was like oh I need to bring a mannequin for class tonight and I looked and I was like oh this one looks great and then when I stepped outside I was like oh and she has highlights I love when mannequins have color already done makes it more interesting and there won't be any glitter can we use the gold glitter spray yes yes you can I just noticed there's still a little bit of a little bit of dampness and I'm not about to light this thing on fire or melt it's hair so I really just want to make sure I get it nice and dry put all this effort in do a nice haircut and then just melt the hair off cause it's wet snap crackle pop cause I don't care what anyone tells you there's no such thing as a wet to dry iron that's a good idea are you sure you've never put anything wet in a frying pan that's pretty much my proof right there watch I'm gonna start the biggest fight and debate on the page right now Amy Berry, Amy Berry I love Amy Berry Amy Berry says I do like when you say my name I know I remember the first time that she commented and she was all squealy on our show I loved it I love when you guys whisper because it doesn't matter if you're whispering we don't ship internationally we don't ship internationally at the moment please check back at a later date but if you want to come visit us preach it rock and roll I like the one liners one liners from St. Louis makeup artist keep it up thanks keep on, keep it on can you say Mary, Chris my masterful smoothing over here show them how it's done son were they parked? yeah just a moment I don't know what color but I know Minerva Beauty has a ton of good carts on there what up because Jesse Gray's like where did you get the little teal cart been looking for one like that no that's IKEA I think we got ours at IKEA but I know Minerva has a ton of them too has a couple like really good solid carts on there yeah I got MinervaBeauty.com yeah Matt and Christina got these at IKEA because they wanted to match my tattoo with my teal arm I love how Brian really like honestly believes himself he told himself that when he started working here enough times that he believes it St. Louis makeup artist get some I don't know where they're coming from but I'm not mad about it I like saying them I think they're just enjoying giving you one liners ramen chan we chan we I just got home I'm late hello everyone hello I want ramen noodles don't worry you can watch this after it's done being live yeah it's just live now but it'll be up on the interwebs forever forever forever and ever and ever and ever delicious back to lunch I want some of that soup still Colin it is all about Brian the carts are from IKEA I'm guessing she's referencing the tattoo and matching the carts I'm guessing she has no idea of anything Christina is like great we're just don't stroke his ego anymore I don't have an ego let go of my ego it's too high to catch I'm eating it now Kristen sharing is caring and Pennsylvania is not that far you can make it up here before Don I swear yeah where's everybody from that's listening I don't know why but that's always like the most fascinating thing to me before we go into that Fed Laura would like to know do you just do the undercut with thick hair no what I was saying earlier it serves different purposes I feel like with the thick hair I do it to give the effect like to shrink the size of the bob I do have a guest however that I do it on who has very much much finer hair and I do it on her to I don't even need that camera angle switch I got that no I do it on her because I want I want it really tight but I also want to create a lot of PC texture having that undercut as well as doing the tees cutting that we're about to do are going to be what help to take enough weight out to really break up this line if you'll notice like I didn't do any undercut up in the front quadrants because she does have a skinnier density but there are definitely scenarios where I have gone and if there's just so much hair I will section it off and undercut the front as well so no cool alright here's the fun part here's where I love my swivel shears even more we're going to be doing some tees cutting the amount that you do is completely up to you so long as you understand what what it's used for how to do it, how to use it, when to use it I'm going to come in on all my sections I'm just going to be taking nice pie shaped sections straight out from the head and I'm going to tees cut from underneath whatever we got somebody showing some love from the Philippines tonight, that's freaking cool what up London, Ontario as well Pittsburgh, Boston Washington DC Atlanta, Houston that's the score hey Katelyn, Pennsylvania, what's up hey everyone that's awesome we also have some people from California selling California, Missouri and I think you mentioned the others California I miss you I want to be back at you soon when I lift this up two seconds, when I lift this up my undercuts going to drop underneath so now this is the piece this is the part of the hair that we're going to be removing the weight so this is what's going to make the haircut that we created collapse like I said I want this to give the appearance of having less hair so I'm going to do that I'm going to get rid of all this stuff that's underneath this is what lays up against my undercut so think of it almost as if like I'm kind of scooping out some of that weight so that we can maintain the look of a one length but still get rid of weight at the same time so Brian so that if you had a client with curly hair we already answered the question that for the day of the visit you would want to strain it out so you can go in there and get texturized in and really see what you're doing so how would this haircut look on curly hair could somebody rock it with curly hair or would you recommend straightening this hair cut out all the time no I like it on curly hair because it's going to give you even more texture through those ends because as I go in and as you see with this the tease cutting it's taking out so much bulk and so much weight and leaving these ends a little bit thinner so once you put a curl pattern it's going to pull those like the semi-solid end of the hair apart even more which is going to really allow those curls to really separate and just have a really cool PC texture to it which is something that people with curly hair don't always get to have because of how dense and thick curly hair is so yes by all means do this straighten it out to cut it but then let them wear it curly all the time because they can alright so again to show you the tease cutting I'm holding the whole section out I'm not closing the scissors all the way at all because that would just cut the hair what I'm doing is I'm just kind of just barely wiggling it back and forth as I move the section in and what that's going to do is it's just going to tease cut the hair just like when you do the teasy highlights or teasing in general I'm teasing some of the hair as I'm cutting some of the hair as I come all the way through to where you take everything out of your hand then that's going to make sure that that outside layer that you look at when you look at the hair cut has that PC texture as well so just keep that in mind this is all the hair that came out this time a little bit fell but it's not that much you can go back in and you can do it again you can be a little bit more aggressive whatever you want to do what I say when I mean that outside layer I'm tearing her for you Hey Brian, real fast did you switch shears or are you using the same one that's the same because I like the freedom to go back and forth and I can hold them as such so would you say if you like freedom you'd like these shears yes so this outside layer of hair right here as I'm holding this out actually let me take a new one when I hold this section out I have to decide am I just trying to remove weight from the overall look or do I want it to look PC when I'm finished because if I only go and tease cut this first half say that's going to be the stuff that hangs out underneath so that's going to be the stuff that's going to allow the hair cut to collapse while still looking one length if I want it to be real texturey and PC throughout the whole look and flow of the hair cut be a little bit skinnier down at the ends kind of a flow a kick then keep teasing all the way through the top okay so I got two questions for you one can you please tell me the name of the shears and where I can purchase they're Mizzatani they're the sword speedstar d19 is the make model tag title all that of the shears I know I don't remember if we sell this on our site or not I believe the I think at one point we did or do I don't know yeah no these are the ones that I got I mean yeah yes and no the first one I'm not sure if they're on the website I think if you contact Matt and ask him I think he can get any other shears oh yeah go to fsc.com and look on the shop if they're not there contact Matt I'm not a fan of the swivel I absolutely love the cutting blade on this I don't know wow look at that shine like a samurai sword I held it just right it was super cool the cutting blade on this again if you I don't know which camera should I get to so you can see it nicely the cutting blade on here the weight instead of being at the back is in the middle that's what that heavy weight line is and so what that does is it allows when you close it it's hard to it so it's something like if you're cutting thicker hair especially when it's wet it really does just give you an amazing strength look at that so cool shine and they do sell these shears not in swivel but still with this cutting blade I believe that's the part that's the D-19 is the blade okay and then so the T's cutting is basically to take out weight does it leave a bunch of texture or does it disappear in the hair it leaves an insane amount of texture depending on how much teasing you do but not necessarily like a chunky texture that you can see I don't want to say that it disappears because you definitely see it in through the ends of the hair by where it you know by the weight that it has removed but it's not like it's not going to be steppy or anything like that that's one reason that I like this so much because it's a type of weight removal that I feel is just completely unparalleled so again holding it nice and tight with these fingers and then just pushing that hair in with the blade and again, keep in mind, look at what you're cutting if I come all the way up here I'm T's cutting all the way up closer to the root to get this in through the ends to get just a little bit of texture through the ends then by all means just hold the ends Maria Rima thank you guys so much for all the videos that you make and all the information that you share with us you cannot imagine how helpful it is for a student cosmologist and others too many thanks, actually fun fact I can imagine how thankful it is because I've been in that situation watching these videos from the outside and I'm pretty lucky to be part of this but thank you very much thanks we love ya I love when we see that we have people that are still in school watching this because they feel like it's just giving them so much more in their arsenal when they hit the ground running because we learn, depending on where you go to school depending on your teachers, depending on what your school experience is like you can learn tons and tons and tons in school or you can just learn how to pass state board so to know that you're sitting there and giving yourself all this extra education by watching these videos and checking out all this cool stuff like it's really awesome good for you that makes me happy I know when I used to teach, I used to show your videos all the time and the ones who actually wanted to be a part of it and weren't just there for whatever reasons the one who had the good intentions they aided up one of my barbers loved your women's haircut videos it was really funny to watch it actually Jesse Gray you saw that this weekend with a bunch of your former students attended a class that you taught but they were all college students though but Jesse Gray says, hey Brian, my son Jazz says he loves your tattoos and awesome at cutting hair St. Louis makeup artist, I don't know if we're too late for this before you go see the other side what's the difference of tease cut versus not tease cut the stuff that I haven't cut yet? yeah when you look back at this side I got to find the right angle to see where it just really scoops right in the weight has really just stick it on here the weight has been alleviated to the point where when you just give it that nice little bit of shake those ends there's just nothing nothing holding these ends together anymore we can really pull up a nice texture show you straight on over there this is I didn't do this side yet so you see it still has a nice that nice sleek effect to it and this has more of the weight taken out of it so it has a little bit more freedom to move like when I give it that little bit of shake and play with the texture a little bit it definitely has a lot more life in through these ends and that's what the tease cutting will leave you so if you try to picture what this texture right here is going to do when you curl that up that's what I was saying about having those ends that just separate from each other and just give you a nice cool lifted texture here how's that look Christina? my camera gal then continuing on we good? do you feel I satisfied the question Tad? I'm satisfied with it St. Louis how do you feel? was there another question in there that I am? Justin we got yours on point sir I just didn't remember St. Louis says wow major difference there we go Fad get some excitement in your voice only cause they said it he used caps I'm following what they write that's good I like it please somebody write another language I want to hear Tad speak Japanese so it would be a great weight removal for layered hair with lots of weight in it too well I mean I don't the reason I use this or correction the time that I choose to use this is more when I want to remove weight on hair that I want to pass off as one length because for too long I got sick and tired of telling people they couldn't have one length hair because it was too thick so then I picked up this little technique and this little trick and because I feel like all of those pictures of the bobs that people were bringing in because I know if you want to remove weight but keep something one length looking you can do the concave layering underneath to remove weight but I had so many people that wanted not only weight but weight and texture so this is a great way to remove weight but give a really awesome light feathery beachy almost texture through those ends and boom goes the dynamite St. Louis make a bar to strikes again you didn't read the whole thing it says very satisfied boom goes the dynamite I only read the greatest part of that comment which is the second one the dynamite going boom awesome make sure that you take the teasing out by the way after you do that because it actually does tease the hair and that would be a little uncomfortable if you left it alright so now we've got our delicious model we give her a full a head on here so we've got this nice light texture she's super smooth right now but even when she gets like just a natural kind of bend or texture in there if she's got a wave or a curl to her hair it's cool because it's going to give her this fun PC-ness through the ends I love doing this haircut because like I said it can be changed to do several different things I can use it on somebody with finer hair to give them a cool PC kind of feel to it I can do the same haircut on somebody with really really thick hair just to give them the look of a normal bob if typically they had too much hair that you would be a little bit nervous going shorter on the biggest characteristic that's cool of this haircut is the fact that we've got this little secret where underneath there is no hair anymore we took all that down nice and low the area that you're going to feel that the most because one of my main reasons for loving to do this when you cut a bob on somebody and you get it nice and blown dry and everything looks awesome that's great but then when they get home these areas behind the ears tend to be the biggest problem because they have a hard time getting that angle with the brush on their own head so then they'll always have a side that kicks out or flips out and it just rarely sits this nice and neat anymore but what's awesome about this haircut because we have that undercut all of this stuff underneath is short enough she can blow dry this with her hand like this is nothing crazy this is nothing difficult to blow dry significantly longer and can now fit around a round brush much easier so she'll be able to actually get that dry and smooth where it'll fall in line and still sit like her nice smooth streamlined, delicious bob haircut alright so any more questions? I'm assuming that this is referring to the dry technique and they're asking if this cut can be done with wet hair would you tackle the TZ cut on wet hair? I wouldn't, no it's a dry cutting technique with the hair being wet you really lose control over where it's going to go or what you're going to be cutting when it's dry you get that little bit of drag with the shears through the hair so that you don't cut too much hair just chop that whole section so no I would not do that on wet hair good question but I wouldn't do it if the client is not good about blow drying their hair would you stay away from the TZ method? No, because the TZ method is going to actually make it so that it's probably a little easier for them because naturally this hair because I've taken so much weight out from underneath the hair naturally kind of buckles in a little bit on its own plus because I had that low graduation and also that's going to help add a little bit of bevel to that end so everything that I can do to help make this hair kind of tuck under has been done so it's going to make it easier for them they don't have to be a master blow dryer they just have to try a little bit if they're willing to try a little bit then I am meeting them halfway and helping out with the haircut if they refuse to blow dry their own hair then maybe a bob is not the best option for them to begin with just saying I mean unless their hair just naturally dries perfectly right which is like no one so alright all these people I think we're good I want to say thank you so much to everyone that watched with us and had questions you guys were awesome that's the reason we do this I mean if I stand here I got no one to talk to so I really appreciate watching and having fun with us I know it's like so much more fun like this so I hope you guys like the haircut let Matt know that from now on you just want me to do all the haircut videos I totally understand I'm just kidding no but it's been super fun it's been super awesome you guys check us out on freestyleneducation.com subscribe to our YouTube channel stalk us on Facebook, stalk us on Instagram you can find us anywhere we're here for you guys so any questions, requests, comments whatever you want let us know and we will do our best it's been a great hump day here thank you guys for coming in and playing with us hey we love you Brian if you guys are going to IBS New York make sure you try to find us we'll be there all day Monday everybody gets a comb just tell them Christina said Christina will be giving out all the combs Christina will have all the combs in the world alright love you guys time for live and interactive classes from your favorite free salon education educators so grab a mannequin get set up and make sure
