 What's up guys welcome to today's video so on the video today We're gonna take a shag haircut that's sometimes a little scary for your clients a little too layered a little too Weak in the density and I'm gonna show you guys how to make it thick even on fine hair And I'm also gonna show you guys a technique that you can use on multiple different haircuts to create great results So we're gonna get started with that also. I want to say thank you to Joy Co for sponsoring this video They sent me their new love aura collection. This is a brand new collection from them the color intensity I used the passion berry to cover up this Shag haircut so we're gonna see is I'm gonna apply it at the beginning and then you're gonna see that transformation and see that Beautiful beautiful vibrant tone that comes through this is a cool way to recycle old highlights Which is what we did in this video to create dimension and pop of color But then it's also not a huge commitment because it's a temporary color. There's no process to it So really excited to share this with you guys Hope you enjoy it. Make sure you hit that like button and subscribe to the channel. Let's get started All right, guys, so before I get into the haircut, I want to throw on a huge pop of color We're gonna use the Joy Co color intensity the new love aura collection. This is passion berry I'm just gonna put it in the bowl and the easy thing about this color is it's gonna create a ton of dimension on Old highlights. So we've got this mannequin. She's playing like she's got some old highlights I'm gonna throw this color all over her head and you're gonna see how much dimension is actually created So on the lighter hair you get the more vibrant pop of intensity and then you get the depth in the darker hair Process that for 20 minutes and you'll see how much vibrancy happens in the end result after the cut So for the cut I do a center back parting Then I do then I create a triangle right in the very front fringe area and notice the line from that Triangle comes right down to the hairline. So I want to match up the hairline I don't want to go any further in than that What happens when you do that is you create Sideburns instead of bangs and that's not what we're trying to do So I'm gonna braid that away then clip it up out of her face Just keep everything nice and clean and that is the sectioning for this cut super super simple And now I'm gonna take a vertical section straight down and over direct everything to me in front of the chair But what I do different in this technique and we're gonna create this modern shag That's very salon friendly because it's not too crazy, but I take away from parietal ridge down So what this is gonna do is give me that kind of dense Area from the parietal ridge down that thickness that I want to use later in the cut But it's gonna add the layers throughout the top So I'm really just focused on the top. That's the the whole point of this technique So make sure as you're working through the top, you don't pull that front all the way over I'm not trying to create a complete face frame either around her face. So that helps with that All right, so bringing it forward breaking it apart Staying consistent with that and then cutting a parallel line To my shoulders standing right in front of her face So I'm gonna work my way all the way back through the crown You'll basically keep working until you run out of hair. That's gonna help push layers So the layers are gonna start short in the front and they're gonna work to get longer in the back That's why I I consider this more of a modern shag Gives us a little more of a today feel or a salon friendly feel because you're not cutting short layers all the way around the head But it gives the appearance of it So you can see how much action happens in that haircut how much those short layers pop in the front But then again they get longer in the back so it doesn't have that molity feel that some clients don't love So I'm gonna do the same thing on the opposite side bringing everything straight towards me You can see how I grabbed that guide I just cut a little piece to match the other side and I use that as my guideline and I work all the way through to the back Now the scissor that I'm using some of you guys might ask it's the Matt Beck scissor created by Ms. Itani, so I sell it on the website. This is actually a special version that they sent me for Christmas gift So it's a it's a black finish with damma metal Super cool custom scissor, but you can get the regular metal version on our website on free salon education comm So there's the layering that goes through it You could see again lots of layers popping through and now I'm gonna use a technique that I've I got from my friend Sam via It's just a twist of the fringe So I take that whole triangle I twist it once and I cut it what that does is creates the shortest point in the center And then gets a longer towards the outer edges. I'll pick that up I wanted a little shorter than that around the edge So I just pick it up with my fingers and customize that a little bit But you could see it gets shorter in the middle a little bit longer towards the outer sides And that's just an easy way to grab that fringe twist it up and gets get a really nice result quickly Now I'm gonna go in with my Donald Scott carving comb This is a razor with a comb on the end of it I'm gonna go through using the hundred percent cutting side and just cut my base Whatever length I want so as you're going through you can decide after you cut the layers How long do you want the hair to be how long does your guests want her hair to be and I go through and I cut that To that length so just shortening it up a little bit Also, if you wanted to add a little bit more layering with that Tool you could but I'm gonna go in and do some dry cutting once we get this thing blown dry So what I'm doing now is I'm gonna use the Joyco volumizing styler the cool thing about this it's gonna create long-lasting fullness I really wanted to pop some volume into this hairstyle get those layers really moving So even though I'm gonna do a flat wrap technique. I'm gonna use a product that's gonna plump up the hair I'm using a paddle brush to work that flat wrap notice that I'm pulling it up over her face And wrapping around using the dice and blow dryer just working things through now. This is the matte back dry cutting edition scissor This is not available yet, but it will be available soon. So make sure you check back also check our social I'm gonna be posting it everywhere when it's available, but this thing is a beast I've been using it for about six months. It's made by Mizatani as well It's part of this new collection that we're working on so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do some tease cutting The the benefit of a dry cutting scissor is it has a fatter blade stronger metal goes through dry hair really smooth So what I'm doing is a half-close technique So I'm half closing I'm pinching the hair and just working through Trying to cut some of that longer because there's a blanket of hair that falls over that fringe that we cut I still want that to fall over it. I want it to be a little bit longer, but I use This technique to soften all that hair that falls around the face So I like the blanket it's gonna part off to the sides. It's not gonna fall on her face like that So I like to keep that length so that the fringe isn't super thick and this hair is all gonna fall to the side like I said So just pinching Lifting and half cutting and doing that tease cutting technique throw Now I'm gonna do a slide cutting technique. So just again pinching the hair This is where I get to cut into that density that I left before so we talk about In hair cutting, it's not about the hair that you cut. It's about the hair that you don't cut, right? So as we went through the top, I left the bridal ridge down, which gave me that density So now once I blow it dry, I can say alright, is it too thick at the bottom or does it? Is it perfect? Is it thin so what do I want to do next in this case medium density hair? I want to add a little bit more layering give it a little more of a shag effect So I go through and I slide cut and cut more layers If she had thinner hair I would probably leave this density because of the fact that I want to let her hair be a little bit thicker Have those layers on top be a little bit thicker on the bottom So you have that versatility and that's why this is such a cool salon friendly cut. So now this is the mat bed texture scissor So that's not available yet either, but it will be out soon We're gonna go through and we're just gonna slide into the fringe a little bit and Skinny it up as we work through. So this is just a quick technique working through you can work this scissor with both sides Again been using it for about six months. Love the thing and just working through sliding out now This is the Joyco Blonde life brilliant glow brightening oil. So instant shine a little bit of texture I wanted to bring that out, but just really add the shine I didn't want something had a strong hold in her hair. I just wanted to separate some of that texture So you can see this is our end result.
