 What's up guys? Welcome to today's class. Today we're going to be talking about the new and popular butterfly fringe. I'm going to be cutting this shorter but I wanted to kind of show you a preview of what she looked like prior. Now I've got my center parting. I put my comb on the head and where that comb starts to rock a little bit is where the head starts to bend and where the head starts to bend is where you want to section off the fringe that you're going to be working with and then follow it to the hairline. See how this line on the side of the head works its way straight up from the hairline up to that point. Now why do I section it where the head starts to move forward? The biggest reason for that is where the round of the head is is where gravity is going to push the hair and want it to go forward and now we're going to work through and cut it. We need to first find our guideline and I'm going to do something a little bit different than I've done in the past. I want it to be a little heavier in the initial cut. What I mean by that is instead of coming straight out from the head and layering right away I want to drop my elevation to build a little bit of an extra weight line. When you look at the curve here in the forehead or kind of fringe area here if I go all the way up like this obviously I get 90 degrees and now that 90 degrees is going to turn into nice seamless layers. I do want that in some cases of this fringe. I want it to be a little bit lighter but at the very beginning I don't really want it to be as light as I do as it gets to this point which would be considered a heavier point in a haircut. So as I lift this out I come up to 90 so I can picture it and then I re-comb and drop to about 45. That's where I'm going to cut my first line and my guideline. That's going to give me less of a layered effect. Now we're working with a few sections on a curve. All of these as I lift them what happens because we're on a curve. It gets heavier and longer real quick because it starts to come around this curve. So what I want to do is I want this to be nice and light and now I'm going to shift to 90 degrees and I'm going to cut it right off this top point and the last thing I'm going to do is a little bit of point cutting. We get a nice little feathered look and then some length which will kind of flow into the rest of the haircut into. Do the same thing on the opposite side 45 degree angle. I bring all this up and honestly I'm going to comb both sides into the center because then I can really see that 45 or that 90 degree angle on the top. Everything coming together 90 degrees straight up from the head. See those shorter pieces and then some of the longer pieces that fall down towards the side because of our over direction. So two things we're going to use. We're going to use Paul Mitchell Neuro Lift and Paul Mitchell Neuro Prime. I can pull tension kind of leaf it through. Now I've got it dry so I'm going to start round brush. You could do this a couple different ways. I'm going to go one side to the other so I'll take all this hair that was the fringe that I cut just like that. I'm going to put it back into the blow dryer or into the brush like this and then to customize it just a little bit I'm just blending it into the rest of the cut. Then finish it with a little extra body finishing spray. This is where I'll kind of like pinch it together just a little bit. Just kind of open it up. That's the great thing about layering a fringe is that it kind of helps open everything up and not be so heavy so you can get a nice little kick to it. See how it looks nice and light. Here we go.
