 Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com and gratitude education today I'm just gonna show you guys a quick little snippet of a dry haircut. This is my salon guest Rachel She's been coming to me for a long time. This is a haircut that's been growing out So I ran into her the other day. She said she wanted to get her bangs trimmed Maybe a little bit of weight taken out. So basically I get her in here What I'm gonna do is just slightly remove some weight. We're not gonna take length from it We just want to take out the bulk. So what I'm gonna do is I'll turn her We're gonna take this separate the front and the back. We do the same thing so high point of the head down to the ear and that forward. So you can see definitely Not trying to work on all the hair at once I think that's where you can really get lost when you're cutting hair dry is because you're trying to take too much on now That's over two. So that has the bulk of the density in it. I'm gonna take a diagonal parting I'm gonna hold that out in front and I'm gonna hold it with a nice high elevation So we're gonna have a nice high elevation Basically what that'll do is remove as much weight as possible and then what I'm gonna do is just go over the teasing technique I'm gonna determine the length first with my fingers right around her nose where I want it to start And I'll hold that up Over directing it just over the parting and I'm gonna work through teasing the hair with the scissor doing a half close with my scissor and cutting Out the bulk. What that's gonna do is give me a nice broken kind of shattered line. You can see that was really nice I'm gonna bring that all together. So combing that new hair into the old Using that again as my guide. So just so we don't get too thick of a fringe Still holding that over the parting, but keeping that elevation high. That's really the key to this haircut here And this technique You can see starting to push that weight, but it's collapsing right here right around the cheekbone in the temple area Which is where a lot of guests complain about weight Same thing And over nice high elevation again It's like twisted my fingers Really just pinch in that hair. I like this technique because of the the line that it gives it's not a real harsh line And it doesn't build up any weight Bring this over up over the face here I don't have to grab up all the hair. You'll see I don't have everything in my hand now Just making sure that I get it over the parting You can see a much lighter face frame in there now with the weak side I'm just gonna over direct that again just over the parting With the teasing technique, but I'm not over directing that to the other side because really just want to keep some of the weight in there I don't want to over direct it too far So still a high elevation Just less over direction. Same thing working in the temple Elevation of ties So really preserving the length, which is the best part about this The hair is still gonna be nice and long, but it just takes that weight out The other thing about Rachel's haircut, you can see that she's using it out now Okay, cool So some of the things about Rachel's haircut is when you look at her her face Before with the hair without these pieces in here. It makes her face look shorter What this does kind of stretches everything out and if so if the hair is all the way down here It's just gonna the separation between this is gonna shrink her face And so one to add those pieces in there just brings her face down into the haircut and allows, you know It's kind of accent her facial features now what we're gonna do is work into the back So we'll take the clip out both sides and She's just got a lot of bulk in there And I don't want I want super short layers because you know, she's not looking for anything too funky So and I like the bulk of her hair. She can really curl it up and wear it nice So we're just gonna do a nice high elevation. We're gonna work pie shaped sections and just go through real quick With that teasing technique and just remove some of the bulk in there and this I'm not over-directing the hair at all I'm just working Each section right next to the other one. So there's no over direction straight off from the head So as I cut it, it's not really important to me where I'm combing from Because it's just straight off from the head. So just making sure you're consistent work your way around the head Make sure that elevation is high Half close to the scissor The key thing about this is this isn't really a this is not a full haircut This is just a maintenance part. So it's just taking out a little bit of the bulk get that gas stand Maybe four weeks after you cut her hair and then in a few more weeks She's gonna need to come back in we're gonna do it a full haircut on her But this is just a good way to maintain it get out some of that bulk Keep it wearing her a nice and long You're right behind it here Straight off from the head Take a little bit of spray. You can really see these layers kind of come to life in her hair One of these little pieces There's side fringe in there And then if I want to define those pieces just a little bit more what I'll do is take my scissor We'll tilt her head to the side And I'll just work my scissor in Right around that cheap bone area I can cut in pieces Now just to find a little bit Just gives those pieces a little bit of separation in there So that's how you kind of maintain cool little dry cutting technique work on that the teasing I I really love that technique. I use it quite a bit in the salon It's just a real easy way to remove weight and add a little bit of fun to that to your haircut and the end result So please check out more of our techniques on free salon education calm and gratitude education calm
