Hey guys so my product of choice today is the Palmichel Invisible Wear Velvet Cream this is a very lightweight product I'm gonna use it as a cutting lotion the reason I like to use a cutting lotion is it helps keep my sections cleaner my partings cleaner helps hold the hair out of the way a little bit when you have a little product in the hair but then also I'm gonna get even saturation with that product all the way through the hair as I work through the haircut so you're kind of taking care of two things at once so the parting that I started with is a left-hand side parting then I kind of curve that down right down center back so you'll see how it kind of curves away and then I go from the occipital bone to behind the ear as my first section now the way that I'm gonna work this curly haircut we're gonna do half of it wet half of it dry so I'm gonna go through and cut my baseline with no elevation night I'm gonna do that wet and the reason I'm gonna do that wet is because I want a nice hard line really want to build in some shape I'm trying to take this hair as short as possible to keep it looking clean but I also want this to be a little bit longer haircut as well so that's kind of a choice you have to make with your clients as well as when you look at their hair assess it and sometimes you have to get a little bit shorter than you want to to make sure that it stays nice and healthy and then as long as they come in on in that routine they can keep their hair growing long and strong so work my way through the hair cut that one length work my way through the front cutting the one length and then I'm gonna go through and I'm gonna use a diffusing technique to really pull out those curls so we'll go through we cut the opposite side as well and now I'm gonna go through and section it for my diffusion so you'll see I section off the top that heavy side I'm gonna go in with the palm of your pro tools express ion turbo light plus blow dryer and I'm gonna use that on a medium airflow and high heat and that's typically what I do in the salon when I'm working with curly hair I do have to send a huge shout out to Danielle who works in my salon she she gave this mannequin a perm and it looks super natural the hair has got a really nice wave to it so kudos to her I believe she's the palm of your perm on this thing and I'm actually I'm gonna ask her to do a class on how to get that wave because this was a straight mannequin and now she's got really naturally beautiful curly hair so I go in now here's some keys to diffusing hair to make sure that you don't get a lot of frizz so I will hold that diffuser the reason it has kind of those fingers in it is I hold the hair in it and I don't move until the hair is dry at least 80 to 85% dry then I might run my hands in it a little bit but I the less you put your hands in the hair the less frizz is gonna happen so it's really crucial between that when the hair is wet and when it's 85% dry to make sure that you're not putting your hands through it now what I want to do is I want to build up that shape you can see how it falls kind of flat starts to expand out gets that Christmas tree kind of look to it so what I want to do is build in a nice kind of build up of weight I want to accentuate the cheekbones in there so that's what I'm going to go for so I want to start my layering you'll see I'm going to do some concave layering throughout the haircut and what I'm doing is I'm going to push everything towards the face so I'm standing behind the head pushing it towards the face and that's going to give me that over direction and then start to build a little bit of weight towards the back so I'm not trying to do fully consistent layers I want to have that shape where it kind of opens up the face and pushes that weight back off so I will show you guys you can see that angle so it is over directed forward not extreme but I want to until I get to that back hairline area which I'm showing you right now I want to over direct all that hair forward then we're going to do the back a little bit different so now I'm going to go to the opposite side notice that I have clipped away the top section where the hair gets heaviest so now I'm working with the light side you'll know you're on the wrong side of your elbows hitting the head so just make sure that you kind of keep that aware you want that freedom in your elbow and now I'm going to go through pulling everything towards the front of the head and cutting that short to long notice how I kind of twist my hand up so I really want those layers in there but I want a curved concave effect in the layers so I'll continue taking those sections again remember we're over directing everything forward towards the face so that last little bit I get to where the hairline starts to connect in the back and now I'm going to go through and work the back line so I'm starting a new guide so we did over direct everything forward from the ear forward now I'm going to go through and cut rounded layers and follow the round of the head so I'll take a little bit of the old hair bring it into the new and I'm just going to continue in a clock shape all the way around the back of the head so I get to the other ear so key things here body position make sure that elbow is nice and free should be away from the head not on top of the head and then you're cutting short to long you should also know that you're cutting from the crown from that center out to the hairline right so that's how you'll know that you're in the right position as well but just keep that elevation up continue to cut those concave layers and that's what you're connecting into you don't have to really work on a guide so what we cut at the very beginning with the wet hair we were cutting that outer perimeter line that was just to get a nice healthy feel to it that's not our guide right so we're going in and I'm going to cut layers and that's all dependent on what I want those layers to do do I want short layers do I want long layers so you can see that build up already on the left side of the head and now I'm going to go through and cut that top section we're going to cut a rounded shape so the way it's going to be pushing back off the face and we're also going to cut kind of a fringe or a side bang into this curly hair using a point cutting technique what that's going to do for me is give me a little bit more texture and movement to it and I'll just continue working those diagonal forward sections over directing it over the part and cutting my line so I'll go with that until I run out of hair you'll see I scoop that hair up I'm also using a wide tooth comb which is another key thing when you're cutting dry curly hair to use a nice wide tooth comb you're not looking for a lot of tension when you cut curly hair so it keeps the tension nice and light so look at that shape starting to unfold I'm going to diffuse it a little bit more I just sprayed it with a little bit of water hit it with a diffuser again reactivate that product and then I'm going to go in with the palmatial invisible wear cloud whip it's a really lightweight kind of wax product but I just defined the curls with that spin them in my finger and really build up that shape so you can see the difference in the shape where it was a Christmas tree kind of shape going from a much more triangular shape to having a much more even kind of balanced look to it when you look at her straight on and not having that heavy weight at the bottom so finished off with a little bit of finishing spray and then we're gonna give it a spin so hope you guys like the video let me know if you have questions in the comments that's what that comment section is for
