 what's up guys welcome to the video so on today's video i'm gonna cut a pixie haircut now i haven't done that in a while i was thinking i wanted to do something nice and short something a little more triangular push some weight to the face we also create some disconnection in this cut as well a lot of people say they have trouble cutting short hair so i think this is a video if you guys do have struggle with it or if you're looking for some new tips new thoughts new ideas on cutting short hair this is the video for you so i hope you enjoy the video let's get started welcome to the video guys today on the video we are going to cut a triangular pixie haircut now the sectioning is pretty simple i go right out of the parting so she's got a right hand side parting and then i curve from that the the back point of that around across the parietal ridge and that creates kind of like a little triangle on the top so sections off the heavy side of the haircut then what i do is i go straight down center back and i start working these diagonal forward partings to create our back section now everything i'm doing is coming straight out from the head i don't want to build up weight at this point so just be very cautious of that so diagonal forward parting fingers stay parallel to the head working out at 90 degrees cutting with my scissor scissor i'm using is the matte bex scissor this is the five inch five inches now in stock so check that out on freesaloneducation.com i'm just working those partings forward i'm also using the ys park 339 comb which i really love for these precision cuts because it's got nice tight teeth when i'm working with precise small sections to get nice tension on there so i'm working that through notice as i start to work above the occipital bone area that's when my elevation will change only because the head shape is changing i'm pretty much keeping that same straight out straight towards me uh over direction but because the head shape starts to peel away my elevation changes and it starts to build up weight i really want that weight on there the thing is you have to be very careful with how much weight you actually want to distribute within this haircut if she's got really thick hair then i want to make sure that i keep that elevation nice and high a little bit higher than i would in this case where the the client would have medium density hair so just working my way forward parting stay the same elevation changes over direction is coming back that's going to start that triangular feel so notice i go right over that back low crown area and then i work my way forward and i kind of twist my finger angle to go towards the head shape so i come straight back with this section watch me cut i cut that straight across then as i start to twist down now my finger angle shifts so see how my fingertips are kind of away from the head and the back of my finger the bottom part of my finger is towards the ear that's just i'm angling in because i want it to go nice and tight into the head shape at that point so i'm building up some weight at the top and then tucking it in nice and tight towards the ear so this part is straight out from the head so nothing really to no magic happening it's just taking a nice diagonal forward parting and bringing it straight out from the head and you get that kind of forward effect on the hair now i'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side the biggest difference here is my fingers are now pointing down talked about this in many videos but i'm not going to sit here and think that you guys have watched all of them or even any of them so with this cut i work the one side my fingers facing up but then when i work this side the opposite side my fingers are facing down and that's all because of the combing of the section so i'm combing my new hair so i pick up the new hair with the comb you can see it there then what i do is i pull that new hair into my guideline so if i were to cut it the other way it would be pretty uncomfortable but i would also be pushing that guide into the new hair so i would get an inconsistent guideline and the reason we have a guide is to make sure that we have a consistent haircut right so i just want to make sure i stay consistent with how i'm combing the hair where i'm combing the hair to to get a more successful result now the same thing is happening here over directing everything back the elevation changes again because of the head shape change and you can see there it's a it's a nice probably 45 degree elevation at this point but then i tuck my finger in to get it nice and tight to the head so watch as i take half this section i bring it up it's elevated more high and then when i grab that last bit of the section i tuck my finger in just a little bit and i get it tighter to the head i know sometimes in these videos i repeat myself but i want to make sure that you guys really kind of get what's happening so look at the top of my finger and how that's angling away so my finger is pretty much parallel to the temple that doesn't mean it's parallel all the way through and i think a lot of people will follow the head shape on there and then they don't get a wait line and when you don't have a wait line you don't have any shape so with these shorter haircuts i want to have that shape i want to have a little bit of a wait line throughout this is the weak side so you can see that kind of build up of weight it really balances out the haircut now i'm going to go through on the top and i'm going to over direct everything back so what that's going to do for me is push a lot of the weight to the front it'll give me a little bit of disconnection it'll add some balance to the haircut and also it'll give me that kind of triangular feel of that weight sitting in the front of the head shape on that over direction back i'm keeping my finger parallel so uh it's just a nice back over direction stationary guide i'm not traveling at all bringing everything back to that point and cutting it you can see on the overhead view there so now look at that nice little push now i go in with my ergo round brush also available on freeslaw on education if you need a round brush go check it out um love this round brush it's got extra long handle and it's also got an extra long barrel so especially for really long hair i love it because you can do a lot more hair at once so now i'm using the joyco hair shake now this is a really cool product it's a liquid two-powder texturizing finisher i love it because it dries super fast you spray it in the dry hair and it adds a ton of texture to your style and volume so those of you guys out there that have a a skinnier fabric of hair this is a great product to spray in and get that full effect so hope you guys like this video let me know in the comments i'd love to hear your comments and i love to comment back thanks for watching all right guys and like
