Hopefully it will last the whole show. Thank you guys so much for being a part of today with me. I'm really excited. I'm obviously always excited, but we're going to go over two different haircuts, two different trends that are supposedly happening in 2021, spring of 2021. Really excited to see you guys in the chat blowing it up. You guys are the best. So here's the deal. This is what I want you guys to do. If you're new to the show, then please type new in the chat. If you've watched this for a long time, you're an OG, you've been watching the show forever, then type OG in the chat. And I love seeing that. Also, I like seeing where you guys are from as well. So post that in the chat. And the more you write and the more you get involved, not only do we build this community bigger, but it spreads it throughout social media because Facebook and all of those different companies see that there's a lot going on. And so they're going to share it to more people. So you guys are doing me a favor by typing as much as you can in the chat. So let's blow it up. Also, I love seeing all the new people. Also, here's the deal. So this class is free. Obviously, we have an app called FSE now, which is available on Android and iPhone. It's right here. So you can see, you download it. You're going to get alerts on any of these classes that I do live. Also, you can watch the replays of the classes. You can also search for other education. And there's a million other things on there. You can also become part of our virtual cutting club, which meets every Monday. Every Monday morning at 11am Eastern Standard Time and we cut hair over Zoom. So you can become part of that. That is a monthly subscription. But, you know, this is what it's all about. So just getting you guys together. Love having you guys all in this room. Ask a lot of questions. That's what this is about. I'm recording. Those of you guys that are new, I'm recording this video to cut it up to be a shorter video that lives on YouTube and Facebook and all of that. But I like doing it live because then you guys can ask questions, get interactive and, you know, I can answer your questions as well. So if you have a question, number one thing to do is to type Q in the chat or Q in the chat. So just like this type Q and put your question. So all you have to do is type Q and then ask your question. That way I can see it because the chat's flying through. You guys are writing a lot, which I love. So I can see which ones are questions and which ones are just you guys chatting throughout. So that is that. And last but not least, of course not least, this show is brought to you by my friends at MinervaBeauty.com. We are live on their Facebook as well. We do this every single Tuesday at 12 o'clock Eastern Standard Time thanks to Minerva. And also we have a new sponsor on this show, Paul Mitchell. So very excited to have them part of the show as well. Supporting the show, just cool as it grows, you know, we get more involvement from hair companies. They're all about education. So if you're looking for salon furniture, check out MinervaBeauty.com, salon equipment, blow dryers, different things. And obviously Paul Mitchell hair care you guys probably have known forever. I worked for them for a very long time as an educator on the road. So it's really cool to have them and I know their products really well. It's really cool to have them a part of this Tuesday show as well. So very excited to get started. Let me break down the first look that we're going to do. So we're going to do two different Bob haircuts today. This cosmopolitan online, I'm not going to say magazine, but online is saying that these are 2021 trends. I'd love to hear if you guys think that these are trends coming up or if they've already been trends. In my opinion, the one length Bob has been a trend for quite a while. They're saying it's going to be even more trendy so coming spring 2021. So let's take a look at the first look that we have here. Pop it up. So just straight Bob one length. So that's what we're going to cut today. This can transfer into cutting any one length. So the section that I'm going to do will transfer over if you guys want to cut this longer. If you want to cut it even shorter, you can do that as well. And then we're going to transfer this haircut into and just do a couple tweaks. And we're going to change it into this cut right here, which is I believe going to be the more popular one of 2021 because I think it's handmade stale possibly on Netflix. A lot of hairstyles are popping out from that is what I'm reading. And it's the flipped out look. So it's kind of crazy because when I was in beauty school in 2004, this was a trend where the hair kind of flipped out a little bit. It was more layered throughout the top. Some of you guys remember that. But it was a trend. Everybody was kind of wearing their hair with these winged out pieces. So pretty cool to see that they're taking kind of a one length Bob. We're going to texturize the ends a little bit and then cut that textured fringe at the end. But that's what's going to change this look from being, you know, just that one length center part Bob to then becoming this haircut. So cut pretty much the same until the very end where we change those couple things. All right, cool. Let's see. So if you guys are wondering if you receive my email or text in the order I placed. So Adrian, if I didn't get back to you, it means that I probably did not receive that. Let me put you over here. But just email Matt at freesaloneducation.com and I'll get back to you today. So I want to make sure you get your order obviously or answer whatever your question is. All right. Yes, very edgy, but it's kind of bringing the flip back. It is kind of bringing the flip back, which is what I think is a little unique, you know, how styles come in, they come back out, they go back in. So it's going to be, it's going to be, you know, pretty cool. So. Arian, let's not start negative vibes. I see you now. So post your question. I'll answer your question. The chat is flying through. Look at this. So let me just see, show you guys. Here. Whoops. So this is all I see, right? So right here, I think I hopefully didn't freeze. But you guys can see here that it's coming through and as people are chatting, this is what I'm seeing right directly in front of me. So sometimes I miss the queue. That's why you have to put a queue because because of that. So instead of writing, I'm trying not to, Arian, write your question so I can answer because I love to answer it right now before we get going. The name of the app is FSE now. Let me put that up on the screen. Let me spin back around. Here. So here is an, let me go back to main camera. All right. I'm trying to look for the question at the same time. So FSE now I have like three times. Okay, you don't have to ask it. It's cool. I can only do what I can do guys. Try my best. So FSE now is the name of the app. So there we go. That's, that's the, you could download on the app store on whatever phone you have. All right, cool. So let's get into the show. We'll be using the tri-raiser. I will use the tri-raiser at the end to cut the fringe, which is our new tool. It's available on shopfse.com. So I will post that link in a little bit, but it's shopfse. We came out with this tool in December. It's been selling like crazy. You guys are so awesome for buying it. Thank you so much. It has three different razors in it, cuts three different ways. So we're going to create texture at the end of this cut. I want to do a blunt edge with a scissor to start the haircut. And then I'm going to do a, there we go. And then I'm going to do a softer edge using the tri-raiser at the very end. All right. So Arian, I see your question. Do you only teach your classes on Monday? Will you teach on any other days besides Monday? So as of right now, we seem to have a pretty tight knit group on Mondays that are available on Monday. Any other day that I've done so far, people couldn't make it. So Monday seems to be the best day. But I do foresee other days in the future. That's what we're trying to, because I'm trying to add multiple different things for the virtual cutting club. So his question is about the, I think it's, is about the cutting club. We do Mondays, like I said, at 11am. So if you guys are available at that time, it's cool to sign up because you get a lot of hands-on work. I can see you cutting hair over Zoom and I can talk to you and you can ask questions and it's just a very interactive group. It's super fun. All right. April, yes. Tuesdays. Love it. Adele says Mondays are the best. Very cool. All right, guys, let's get what sheers do you like. I'll talk about that as we go. All right. Let's get started. Okay. So when we talk about the first haircut, sectioning is the most important thing that we're going to go over today. So let me zoom in a little bit and now we are going to comb it back straight back. And this haircut is built off of a center parting. So what I want to do is I want to find that direct center. I'm going to look right at the bridge of the nose here and I'm going to follow that line back and then I'll show you guys the move we make after that. So right here, straight back, find the bridge of the nose and then I'm going to draw my line straight down the center. We'll part it. Go. And then once I have the center parting, then I'm going to move to the back and I'm going to follow through into the back. Now there's one other parting that I'm going to make and this is kind of an optional parting, right? So obviously this one is not this one I would always make straight down center back. So now we've split right side and left side. Now what I want to do is I want to split front and back. So now we've got front and back. How do we split that? You could say right at the ear, that's what I learned in beauty school. For me, I've learned to shift back a little bit. I think Sam Villa was the one that really brought that to light for me was finding that hairline. So what I'll do is if you look at your haircut that you're doing here, see if I can zoom in. Right under here, you've got this hairline that comes down. Now all clients are different. Some might have a little bit more of an angled hairline. What I would do is just find the thickest density part and go straight up from that. So right here, I will comb the hair down from the top of the crown here. All that hair that wants to fall to the back and I'm going to section it down. And I go right into that hairline area. Now I'm going to take just a little bit more of that section. And I want to get as straight of a line as possible. So here we go. Let me do it again. And what that does for me is as I comb that hair down, this works in a very straight line. And I'll run this into the ground for you guys. I've talked about it every single class that we do. But the fact is that this density here all the way from here to here and around the head to that same point is the same density, same thickness. Now all this density to the front here is all the same thickness as well. So I want to separate that so that I'm aware during my haircut of what my density is that I'm working with. So you'll see right there. Section it up with a clip. Clip that away. We got that nice and tight. And then you've got your back. So same thing. I'm going to move to the opposite side. And I'm going to comb the hair from that high point or that high point of the crown down the hairline. I'm going to go a little bit further over. Same thing here. Comb this hair to the front. Nice and tight. So I want to work that root area, work that root area here. And then once I get that comb tight and grab my clip and clip it away. So now we've got the front and back separated. And we've got the right and left separated in the back. So now next section is going to be right across that occipital bone area. Haven't you had those clients that have different densities on each side in the back? So I mean Chris, that's like, yes, I would say there probably are people like that. You know, that density to me can't be that different. I mean, it's not going to be that different unless something happened and they have a scar or something. So they're missing quite a bit of hair. But my biggest thing is the stretch of hair. So where it is from nape to high point of the crown, that's all consistent. As opposed to here, where we're only top of the ear to the high point of the crown, that's going to be a lot less hair. So that difference to me is a big deal. Also when you're cutting around the head, it's good to be aware of where this goes up on the hairline so that as you're cutting, you can decide, do you want to follow the head shape? Do you want that head shape to be exposed in the outer perimeter? Or do you want to hide that outer perimeter from mimicking the hairline, I guess you could say. So that's kind of where I'm at with that. Obviously some people could have differences, but I feel like that's something you just have to address when that happens because it's pretty rare. I would say. But yes, I believe it could happen. I can't recall anybody though. All right, so now I'm going to go right horizontally across the occipital bone here. I'm going to comb it nice and tight, just like that, and then clip it away. Slide that clip up underneath. I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side here. Come right in, draw my line across. Now, based on density, I could take this a little bit shorter, like I could take less hair. We're working with medium density to lower density, so a little bit less hair, a little bit finer hair, so medium to fine. So I can go all the way up to occipital bone and cut a nice blunt line in there and have no issues whatsoever. So just based out on the density, if you need to break up this section, feel free to break up this section. All right, so we got our scissor. Now I'm going to pop her up a little bit. Will this be a layered cut? So Arian, it will not be a layered cut. We're cutting at one length. There will be a slight bit of layering in the second look, probably more graduation than layering, but we will not be elevating the hair for this particular look. So now, let's talk about shape. So just because we're cutting at one length doesn't mean we don't want to think about the shape that we're going to cut as well. So do we want to bring and over direct the hair back and cut it? So cutting it more in a line here. What's that going to do? As the head starts to curve around right here, that over direction starts to happen to bring it to the back. What that's going to do is push a little bit of length to the front. And that'll start us on a path to create more of an A line that kind of follows the jaw as opposed to a nice kind of rounded line that goes with the head shape that way. For me today, I want to cut it going with the head shape because I want this to just be a nice blunt solid line that works its way around. So I'm going to choose not to over direct everything back. I'm also going to use the wide teeth of my comb to hold things steady as I cut because the wide teeth are going to give it not too much tension, but they will hold it in place, which is nice when you're going into cut and you don't want to elevate the hair at all. So I just use my comb, pull it down and cut. I also want to make sure I have even saturation on the hair when you're trying to get a really nice blunt line and the hair starts to dry up. What's going to happen is you're going to start pushing the hair when it's dry because a scissor tends to push dry hair a little bit more than it does when it grips wet hair. It's just the reality. So here we go. Everything's nice saturated. Now we talked about shape a little bit. Now I want to talk about body positioning. My body position for this, let me see if this will give us a good view. So let's say I'm working in the back of the head here. Let's see if I can zoom in a little bit. Yeah, it's pretty good. All right. Lock stuff over. So body position wise, I want to make sure that I'm standing directly in the back of the head. So if I'm here and my partings are here, just shift this a little bit. That one's sunk down a little bit more than the opposite. Okay. So now if I have, if I'm standing in the back of the head like this, I don't want to tilt and come in here to cut. I also, I don't want to stay on the side and cut because it's really hard to cut a straight line. If you're standing there like this and you lean in to cut your line, your eyes then shift, right? So if my eyes shift like this, it's a lot harder to cut a straight line throughout the haircut. That's just what I've found in the past. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to stand directly behind. I'm going to comb down like this and I'm going to keep my eyes level with the comb. So I'll comb down, keep my eyes level and work my way across the hair this way and just cut a little bit at a time and then start working my way into the round of the head there. Hopefully that makes sense. All right. So I understand that that camera angle, this was closer, but you couldn't see my body position. I used to know the body positioning and now you can watch me cut it close. All right. So Carrie, fun fact here. She's saying she wishes I was closer so I could cut her hair. Fun fact. Well, don't take new clients, but what I do is we built a website called stylistlocator.com. Stylistlocator.com. So any stylist that is signed up for our app will have a profile on there. So if you go to stylistlocator and you search your area, you'll put your zip code in and then from that, it'll pull up stylists that use our app that are in your area and you can send them a message directly from the website and it'll go to their account on FSE now. So pretty cool. So just make sure go on there, put in your zip code and find somebody. Now, if they have a blue check mark next to their name, this is one cool fun fact. The blue check mark, it means that they're part of our virtual cutting club. So they literally meet with me every Monday and they cut hair with me and I get to make adjustments and we talk about hair cutting and we get very in depth with hair cutting together. So that's a really cool way to know that somebody's really in contact with me throughout the app. Delilah, you're very welcome. I'm glad you like that idea. All right. So here we go. I'm going to comb down. Like I said, my body position is what I was talking about. So my eyes are flat with the head. I'm looking at my angle here and how I'm going about it. And I'm going to come in here and I'm just going to cut my blunt line. I'm going to start working this blunt line across. I don't do too much at once. Get this hair out of the way here. And now I don't mind dipping into this corner a little bit. So knowing that where I'm at, here we go. So I don't mind coming in here and then just dipping into the corner a little bit and cutting around. So I am slightly angling my comb forward, but it's not as much as if I over direct to the hair back. See how that starts to go away? That's because I rounded the corner. So if I didn't round the corner, there would be hair right here and it would be a guideline that came across like this. So I wanted to round that corner a little bit, but I still wanted to drop and kind of follow the jawline. I just don't want it to extend down too much. Now we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side. What I'm going to do is I'm going to comb the hair and now I'm going to work a backhand cutting technique, which will allow me to cut the hair in the same direction I cut it this way. So if you look at here, if I start cutting and I work the scissor this way, I'm cutting pushing the hair this way. So then what I want to do is I want to flip the scissor, start from the middle here and now cut this way so that I'm pushing the hair the same in both directions. I've seen people do it both ways. For me, this just works a little bit better. I can still keep my eyes kind of flat and parallel to the section and I just go through and I cut my line here. I'll go through it more, comb in. I just use the tip of the scissor to cut through that line because the tip of the scissor is not going to push the hair as much. So I just kind of chop through it. If you try to do too much at once, you're going to push hair and you're going to get an unbalanced line. So now I'll go through here in the back. I'm going to comb the hair down and see where I'm at. And then I'll just clean this line a little bit if I feel I need to, keeping my eyes still flat, just like that. Now I don't need this to be perfect because I'm going to go back in in the blow-dry and define that line even more. So there's no reason to keep it perfect throughout. We're going to work here. I'm going to continue up the head shape. So I'll take another horizontal line that wraps around the head a little bit. I'm going to comb that hair down. Get the rest nice and tight. Get it ready to re-comb in a little bit. Back out. Okay. So I comb the hair down. And now I'm not even going to use comb tension. I'm just going to go through and cut with my eyes parallel to the section and follow around the head shape. Just like that. I'm going to continue up this section. I want to do this kind of in salon speed because it's obviously very repetitive, but the real details come in the dry cut. So follow along with me as we get through here. And we work towards blow-drying. So I comb everything, make sure it's consistent from scalp to ends. And then I go through and I cut. Another little rule, little tip, is I don't mind cutting just each section just the tiniest bit longer than the previous. What that's going to do is give me a little bit of a bevel on the end, which kind of helps throughout there. Sid Orn, I appreciate it very much. Glad you're enjoying the video. So I'll do a couple more. Actually, what I like to do, change my mind a little bit. I like to change my mind. That's one thing. I'm going to work the opposite side for a few sections and then I'll go back to it. That's something I've been trying to get more in the habit of so that I keep a more balanced line and length. And shape. So clip it up. Now I'm working the opposite side, make sure that the head is not tilted any way weird. Let me go over here. So just like this, comb it down. No tension. Cut your line across. And don't be afraid to round off in that corner depending on the look you're going for. Cool. A couple more and stay out of your guys way there. All right. Very light tension with the comb. If you guys haven't noticed, I got this pea color 339 comb. These are coming to the shop. I don't know. I don't think they're up yet. We just got to inventory them, but they're coming to our shop FSE real soon. All right. Coming across. Let me see if I can zoom in even more. Oh yeah, look at that. Wow. All right. So as I cut, I want to see if you guys can see my guide is right there. I'm going to cut just a little bit below that guide. Work my way through. Again, that gives me the slight little bevel into my shape. And I'll define that line more when I get it dry. Okay, so now I'm going one past the other side. Your density will define how thick of subsections you can take. I'm working with pretty fine hair. So I'm taking about one inch subsections at this point of the cut, keeping my eyes parallel to the section. And I'll bring down the last bit and just make sure that you're combing everything scalp to ends. And I would really encourage you guys, if you go sign up for the virtual cutting club, that the first video you unlock and watch is the comb control video that we did a couple weeks ago, because that to me is the key to getting better haircuts. That is that. So again, break this in half, comb the hair down. We got a new subsection here. Last bit. And again, you could give it a little life. Like as I'm combing through this, I'm actually, you know, it's things that I don't think about all the time, but you just kind of naturally do. I'm lifting the hair just a little bit and letting it drop down, because I don't want it tight to the head. It's not going to live like that. So if I pull the hair tight and cut it, it's not natural. It's not going to flow right after the blow dry. All right. So that's the back. Nice blunt edge on it. Again, this could be transferred into a one length. It's this long, you know, this long could be even further down that subsection that we did, you know, it can kind of play into both all of it. The biggest difference would be you'd be cutting more of a square line in the back because they have shoulders. So when you bring it down, you're going to be flat on the shoulders, cutting it. So it will be a little heavier towards the front, but that's all going to sit in the back anyways, and you kind of want that throughout. Arian, do you cut your sections lower each time to get that bevel look? Yes, I do. Laura, yes, comb control is crucial. Exactly. Elizabeth. Yeah, Elizabeth, I didn't see your question. Thanks for the help there, though. Catherine. Thanks for sharing the website. You guys are the best if you could keep doing that. That would be great when people ask where to get the tools and all of that. The OGs, you can do me a favor. Just let people know. What's up? All right, here's my spray bottle. There it is. All right, so now we move into the right side. Now it's crucial, and this is why I like to do this kind of separate, separate the front and the back. It's crucial to take a look at both sides and make sure they match up nice. If they don't, you've got to go through and correct it. If they match up, then obviously your sides will fall very similar as well. Now, is it always perfect? It's not always perfect. You might have to go in and your detail work and take one side a little bit different. That's where a lot of people don't show you that stuff. This part is the simple part, just going in and cutting it. The hardest part is going in and actually detailing your work to get it to be that final look. That's what I think really separates different stylists is their ability to detail a standard haircut. You know, these are just haircutting basics that we learn in beauty school. But if I blow this dry right after I cut these sides and I leave it like that, that's not going to be a very advanced looking haircut. So, here we go. Comb it down. Now, you could decide with your partings, do you want them to mimic the jaw? What I like to do is I like to decide what kind of line I want in the front and then draw that as my parting. So if I wanted an angled line towards the face, I would draw that because I would use that. Once I comb the hair down, I would use that as my guide. Today, I want a more blunt edge. So I kind of want this round line to work its way around the head shape. So I'm going to do that in my parting. So I'm going to come around just like that and that's what I'm going to follow. So here we go. I think this blue is going to have a really cool pop to it in the end result. Excited for that. Okay. So now, same thing. I'm going to be cutting backhand, but my eyes will still be parallel to the section. So comb down if you want depending on what makes it easier for you. My client's head is going to be straight up and down. So I'm not tilting it at all because I want it to be at natural fall. The other thing is that the ear could stick out a little bit. So you could have a client whose ear kind of pops a little bit, pushes the hair out. So what I like to do is just comb that hair natural. And then if you need to, you can tap the ear to just relieve a little bit of that tension a little bit in the subsection. So here we go. Comb it down and now I'm going to comb or cut across and follow my guide. My guide is my parting. Just like that. Hopefully you can see. So you see my parting. You go down to my line. They're very similar. Right? So I'm just going to continue working just like that. Creating that guideline. Make sure that your parting stays similar each time. Comb this hair out of her face. Clip it. Comb it down from the scalp. Work with my eyes parallel through. Still cutting from back to front. Back to front. So you guys are killing it today. I can see there's a ton of people. Looks like we got about, maybe we have today, about a thousand on live right now. So you guys are sharing. I can tell. Keep hitting that share button. And you know it would be cool and something I've been thinking about a lot. And I'm not saying you have to do this, but I know there are people in here that are, you know, not hairdressers. And that's totally cool. I like that you get the inspiration. And then I understand your struggle of finding a good hairdresser. What I would say is if you have it, your hairdresser. And something that always inspires me, and this is going to sound a little crazy, but I've been thinking about it. So let me talk to you for a sec. So this is going to sound a little crazy, but like getting a new comb or a tri-raiser or a new brush, things like that can be a pretty big inspiration for somebody. Just like, you know, you buy a new car and you clean it more than you ever cleaned your other car, like all of those things. So if you're looking to bring up conversation, talk to your clients, you know, you could say that you saw a cool video and you get them a little gift that maybe is like a comb or a tri-raiser or something that's going to inspire them. And I got this idea because somebody emailed me and said that they were buying the tri-raiser as a gift for their stylist, which I thought was super cool because if they liked that look and they bring this unique tool to the stylist and then introduce them to free salon education, it's kind of a cool way to bring up that conversation and maybe ignite a little fire and make them excited again. So, you know, it's little things like that. It's possible to be, you know, something cool for them. Just something to think about if you're watching. All right. If you're a hairdresser too, I mean, anytime I get a new comb or clip or, you know, it just makes me excited, I guess. And go across. Same thing. Work my way through. So, we're almost through this side. Let me get back to salon pace here. Spread in the face. Drop her down a little bit. So, Donna, you can get it at Shop FSE. So, if somebody could post the link for me to the tri-raiser, my tech friends in here, that would be awesome. So, it's shopfse.com. It's right on the front page of that, and you can post it. You'd be doing me a huge favor. All right. So, again, combing it down. No tension. Work my way through. A couple more. I actually think I can just do this in one, because we had some layers in this cut. There's not much left. I want to share with you guys a little tip that I learned the other day shooting, watching, listening to my friend, Ryan Belmonti, who works for Paul Mitchell. I thought this was a really cool tip, which he said he combs the hair when he cuts a one-length around the face, around the cheekbone. And then that way, when the client wears it to the side, which they're going to, instead of bringing it down like this and cutting it, because they're not going to wear it up against their face like that, you bring it over here and you cut your line that way. And then that will give you just a little push to the front, and then when we blow it dry, we can detail it. But I thought that was a really cool way to think about it. Right here, down. Anytime I'm around somebody, I like to try to pull whatever I can from what they do. That's how we get better. So, super cool. You get that length. You comb it back. Now, obviously, when I comb this down, it's going to have a little disconnect from over-directing it. I'll deal with that in a dry cut and see where we're at. All right, so we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side here. And Michelle, I thought that was a great tip as well. Paul, thanks for sharing the website. So, Robin, I want to address that a little bit. Robin's saying that we should only let licensed stylists in here. I disagree, which is totally fine. Everybody can have their own opinions. I disagree because I think this brings awareness to the amount of skill that goes into what we do and the amount of thought that should go into what we do. And I think it brings awareness to somebody that sits in a chair and there's a stylist that does not put that much thought and effort into it. And it makes them make a better decision. So, I think it's good for both. I think it elevates the industry. And anybody that wants to spend the next 16 years of their life trying to figure out hair cutting like I have and wants to get as, you know, to know as much about hair cutting as I do, more power to them, and I think they should be able to. And it's the same... But they're not going to learn it watching a YouTube or Facebook Live. They're not going to be able to just... They might mimic something I'm doing, but they won't know, and if they mess up a little bit or their line gets a little bit weird because they don't really know what I'm talking about, then they're going to really struggle to fix that because it's years of practice that allows you to know how to do that. So, I like being able to show off to customers, consumers, clients how much I know I do it behind the chair as well. I'll talk to my clients about what I'm doing, how I'm doing it, why I'm doing it. I think that brings a better relationship between me and them. And it's all about not being afraid of them being able to do what I do. And like I said, I would love to encourage any of them because all of us have a story of cutting hair before we were licensed because we just loved it, maybe they love it. But I could change the oil in my car, but I don't want to, so I don't. I take it somewhere, but some people like saving the money, they like changing their oil in their car, you know? So, I think it's a good thing. That's just my opinion. Not everybody will share that opinion, and that's totally cool. That's what makes us all unique. All right, here we go. I'm going to keep taking these subsections. This is so hard because I want to stand over here and comb. Then I want to go over there and cut. So, we only have a few sections left and then we'll start blow drying. You guys will really see the detail work that goes into the finished result. Plus, another cool fun fact is that somebody that's not licensed cannot cut hair and make money doing it. So, you know, they're not taking clients for me. They might cut their own unsuccessfully, probably, the majority of them. But they're not taking my clients because my clients want a great haircut and they want a licensed person to do it. So, all right. I think we get upset too much. I'm not talking about Robin now. I'm just saying in general. You just got to work hard and you don't have to worry about anybody else. Learn every day and you don't have to worry about anybody else. Because when they watched that YouTube video, I already learned more things. Like my tip from Ryan. All right, almost there, guys. Almost there. Finish line's awaiting. I'm going to turn her like this. I'll do this in two subsections. So, I got the one and I'm starting to comb it back into the rest of the hair now. And a good point to understand where to start combing it back into the rest of the hair is right here at the hairline. So, the hairline starts to go forward a little bit. You've got that recession point. So, it starts to go forward. So, I'm going to comb that recession point into the rest of the hair and drop it down. There we go. And now cut. It's a little harder because I don't want to stand in front of you guys. But I don't want my eyes to be tilted either. One's got to give. All right. So, combing this hair back. All right. Comb this back into the head. Straight down. So, now we've cut our shape. Take a look in the back. Make sure everything looks good across. So, now we've got our shape in. So, what I want to do now is blow it dry. I'm going to use a couple different products. Let me see here. I just want to make sure I got everybody's questions here. Donna, thank you so much. See you have special days or times. Easter time. He's on schedule. So, Donna, I'm doing, I do this class. Whoa. That is the largest comment ever. Sweet. I've got to move that up. So, yes. So, I do these classes every Tuesday at 12 o'clock. Virtual Cutting Club meets every Monday at 11 a.m. Eastern time. That's all Eastern time. Let's see. Any cues? Any cues? Live chat. So, Amy, totally agree. I'd like to have this conversation. I wish, you know, I want to do more podcast-ish to have this conversation, but I totally understand. I mean, I've, I literally have a salon right there. So, in the other room. That is struggling to have clients as well. But that's not, like, people, if they were afraid they would just let their hair grow. I think, I think we get caught up, like, people don't love their hair as much as we love hair, right? So, we love hair. We love doing it. People deal with their hair because they have to. So, some, some of our clients love their hair and those are probably the clients that are coming back right now. The people that are struggling with the virus, they don't want to come into a public place. Those kind of people, like, that cuts the business, the government, the governor of my state, you know, cuts the business in half, doesn't allow as many customers. There's a lot going on right now. This is not the, this is not, it's real, but it's not, like, the norm. So, we're all getting through it. And I don't think somebody, you got to think, like, people aren't learning every single haircut. They're also not learning, like, if they get good at haircutting, like, they just get good at it and they cut their own, but that's not going to happen. That's not something that I worry about because I'm definitely, like, I've never had a client leave me because they wanted to cut their own hair. Until this pandemic, I could name a few that are not coming to me, but I've never had a problem with a client not coming to me because I keep myself educated and I push through it. Some of the styles that are struggling right now should make sure that they're focusing solely on education and growing and getting better because the better you get, the more in demand you are. You're not going to be in demand if you haven't studied since beauty school or you randomly went to a hair show and didn't sit in classes and just went around shopping. Like, that's, you know, these are all things that are reality. Now, that's not you. That's not necessarily any of the people in this chat. I think you're on this to learn. But at the same time, you have to push yourself. And for 16 years, I've tried to learn as much as I can every single day, every day. And I love cutting. I cut mannequins all the time. That's how this whole channel started was that I was obsessed with learning and getting better. No one can replace that and no one's going to work harder than somebody that works the hardest, right? So you just got to keep working hard and work harder than you did the day before. Don't worry about anybody else. Don't worry about clients at home cutting their own hair. I have zero worries about that because I know I know more than them. So when they screwed up, they're going to come to me and I built a reputation of people that want to come to me because of how much I study and how much I share and how much I love what I do and I have a passion for what I do. That's the recipe for being successful in this business. It doesn't matter if they kind of figure out how to cut a line. It doesn't matter. There's so much more that goes into it, so much more expertise. Now, if you don't have that expertise, you're going to lose in a pandemic. You just are. So if you're afraid of that, my thing for you would be to study, study, study, get better and better, cut every day, cut, but don't cut clients at a rushed pace. Cut to get better at what you do. Like cut to do it slow. That's why I like mannequins. Everybody gives me a hard time about cutting mannequins all the time. A mannequin doesn't set me a time limit. I can take my time. I can pause. I can do whatever. And I can focus on getting better at all the little details of cutting hair. Nobody's going to learn that on a YouTube live or Facebook live. They're just not. They have to watch a hundred of these, then cut 10,000 haircuts, then watch other hair cutters to learn even more. Like you can't just learn that. We get out of beauty school. We barely even know how to do real haircuts. So a license like is a license because then we get to charge for it. But what makes you professional is somebody that works really hard. My wife is not licensed at all. She doesn't color hair for money, but she's better at coloring hair than most people that I know. So because she's been around it, we've done it together. We've had fun with it, you know, like it's just the license makes it so you have a job, a successful job, but it's not going to be successful if you don't study and learn. So sorry that I went on that, but I just feel like people need to hear it. People need to understand that nothing else, it's your fault. If you're not busy as busy as everybody else. Right. So I'm not saying that you're going to be as busy as you were in 2019. 2020 was the worst, but then you go into, you know, coming out of it, getting people more comfortable, making your salon more comfortable, making your salon feel like it's safe and then being very educated are the keys to moving forward and people actually wanting to take that time and be with you and spend time with you. All right. Chris Lang, I take time and not rushing. I totally agree with you. Arian, you're welcome. Cool. I hope you guys, you know, no offense to anything. I just think hard work is the key and not hard work like working all the time. Hard work as in focusing in on what you do, why you do it, how you do it, and getting better and moving and doing that. So I'm going to blow dry. Cue overcoming callix. That's a great question. I will talk about, I want to break down callix into the dry cut because that's where I'd really deal with them the most because callix can be the worst in the wet cut, but I did a lot of light tension, right? So we used the wide teeth of the comb. We used no tension in some places. I scooped up the hair a little bit in some places. So that's going to help with callix in the wet cut. And then when we go into the dry cut, there's other things that we can do. Janet, I learned something every day. Very cool. All right. Actual hard work does pay off. It's totally true. I respect your opinion, although it slightly differs from mine. That's great, Amy. Honestly, we should all have different opinions and it should be okay to have that. So totally cool. I just get to yell mine out and you get to type yours. And that's, you know, but it's all good. Everybody has their own opinion and that's fine. Cool. All right. So let's move into the blow dry. What I want to do is I'll obviously play a little bit of music for you guys while I blow it dry. I'm going to blow dry it smooth. I'm going to do a flat wrap technique. Let me see. Let me grab my brush. I'm going to use my Ergo diamond head brush. This is my favorite brush on the planet. It is available on our shop as well. OGs, please post the shop in the chat because everybody's going to ask. Here is the Ergo diamond head brush. So here's a regular size paddle brush. And then here's the diamond head. Diamond head just came back in stock. I love this thing because it's like a mini paddle brush, but it has the same tension as a paddle brush. So when I'm working with shorter hair, I love this. When I work with longer hair, I use obviously this guy, Ergo paddle brush. So it just depends on what I'm working on. Product choice today. Thanks to Paul Mitchell for being a part of the show. I'm going to be using, in which I would choose this product anyways, soft style, quick slip. This is a kind of cream based product. It's got a medium flexible hold. They actually say it's soft hold. So not a ton of... You're not going to feel any stiffness in the hair from this product. One of my favorite stories. So my dad actually, he passed away a few years ago, but this was his favorite product. So every time I even smell it, it's pretty, pretty awesome. But he loved this product. And I don't even know why he loved it. And he would go, he didn't live near me. So he lived a thousand miles away. So he would go to Nojo. Like, I think he went to Walmart to like the cutting place in Walmart. And they sold Paul Mitchell and he would buy it. And he put it in his hair and he'd be like, oh, I love my hair like this, but it literally has no hold. I mean, it has a little bit, I guess, but it's just funny that he had short hair and he just loved putting quick slip in it. So I like quick slip for medium length hair. He would also tell me stories that, you know, he would go into that hair place and he would tell them all about freesalon education, which was pretty funny too. So good times. All right. So now I'm going to go through. I'm going to blow dry the haircut and smooth it out and then we're going to go in and we'll do some dry cutting at the end. All right. Let's see. Let's see what music do we want to listen to see what this is. My apologies if it's not good. All right. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. I think that song is too much. Sorry. It's too much for me. I don't know about you guys. I'm going to go here because I like this. All right. This is more, more vibe. So I'm blow drying. So hopefully you guys can hear me, but that's why I like to play music at the very beginning. So it's not too much blow drying. So what I did just to kind of run through everything, a lot of flat wrapping. What flat wrapping does is as I work around the head, it's using heat to take those broken out bonds from the water and seal that cuticle down. So it's using the heat to kind of form the hair to the head. So it'll give it that little bit of bevel. So you can see how it kind of bevels in. So if I was talking to one of my clients, one of the biggest things I would say to them is wrap this hair up and over your head in the front. In the back, you want to pull it around and over. And then that way, when it falls, it's going to have that little bit of curve. So you're basically using your head as a big roller, hot roller. So I'll work that heat up and all the way across the head. And notice that I'm not moving the blow dryer a lot. So I might just kind of wiggle it a little bit just to break up some of that section. But then I keep that airflow just passing over the hair. I talk about this all the time. Some of you guys are new in the chat. Heat seals the cuticle down. If I run the air over top of the hair, the cuticle lays this way kind of on top itself like roof shingles, right? So if I blow the hair the opposite direction, if I blow the air up into the hair, it's going to rough up the cuticle and the cuticle is going to kind of be open. So I want to seal that cuticle down, let that heat blow over top of it and then that way I get a nice shiny end result and a smooth end result. So now I've got the hair, it's about 80% dry. I know it's on her face. It's okay. So 80% dry. When I get it 80% dry, I go in with Paul Mitchell, hot off the press. So we go from using the quick slip to have a nice soft hold to just kind of get that shine, get the flow going in the haircut, add a nice smoothness to it to then protecting it using this heat protectant, hot off the press and adding a little bit of extra hold to it. So I'll brush this into the hair, spray some of it throughout and then that will give me a little bit of added protection as I go back in and keep blow drying. So the damage is going to happen when the hair starts to dry and you don't have products on there to protect it. You can also put base products on there to protect it as well. So now we're just going to go through, work that product into the hair and just get it even smoother. In my opinion, hair goes from kind of damp to damp and frizzy or to dry and frizzy and then to smooth. And get it to smooth. So now I'll come back the opposite direction and pull this hair up over the head. Just let that air pass over. This doesn't make your dry faster, right? Just keep that air aimed at the hair slightly, not at the head, at the hair. I'll do a little kind of a technique I like to do with just hold the hair with my pinky here and then scoop one of the brush a little bit to smooth it out. Now I'm going to work into the crown. This is where you'll get a lot of calyx, so I like to work around that calyx and just kind of pass the hair one way and then back the other way almost there. All right, cool. So now I'm going to do a little bit more, hold off the press and pull Mitchell. And I'm going to heat up my smoothing iron here, crank it up. This is the Express Ion Style Plus from Pull Mitchell as well. I'm going to put this on 390. Now talk about this a lot, but keeping your hair healthy and not ironing it too much is kind of important. And not having too much heat. So one of the things that I would recommend is keeping the heat low on your iron and just taking smaller parts, that way you don't affect your clients' hair. You also can tell them that as well so that they don't hurt their hair in the process of doing it at home. So go in. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to tilt her head a little bit and I'm going to work diagonal back partings and smooth the hair in that way. So I like to put it in my tension onto it and then iron from mid-shaft to ends. I'm just going to continue working back. I'm going to turn myself. Let's do a little Q&A and if you've asked the question that I haven't answered, just start posting it. I'm going to turn so I can see your chat for a little bit. Because this part will not be necessarily fully shown in the video. How long do you give yourself for a cut like this beginning length bob? I would give myself 45 minutes to an hour. Probably more like 45 minutes if I was really pushing myself. Because a one length is a little bit easier. If it was a graduated bob I would definitely give myself an hour. Could you do this particular cut on thick hair? Absolutely. This is a good haircut for thick hair. It would obviously be a little more expanded at the bottom but nothing wrong with that. I think the model in our picture had pretty thick hair it looked like. I wish I could go back and reference in a little bit. But yeah, I would definitely do it on thick hair. Would you look for an equality cosmetology school? That's a great question. And honestly, see if I have a really good answer for you, if I don't. I think the biggest thing with cosmetology school is not it is the school a little bit. But I think for me, I would probably have done them by now. I know palmetrial schools really do in my opinion educate. I have one of the best curriculums in the U.S. I don't know about anywhere else. And everybody that worked for me, went to one. But with that being said, good hairdressers come out of all schools. I did not go to a palmetrial really. But it's about, again, your hard work and how you learn every day. So it's important because you're spending a lot of money to find a good school that's going to educate you, but you're really going to get your education based on your effort and how much you try to learn. So I hope that helps. I thought the school is a trainer, so that's true as well. All right, we're getting there. We're getting there. Where do you get your mannequin heads? It's a great question. So I get them from pivot points. So this is the Gwen, I believe. She comes blonde, so obviously we colored her. But I like the Gwen because she, I like using blonde because then I can just easily color it. It's hard to color darker mannequin hair and really enjoyed having these fun colored mannequins to cut. Is the blue chunky monies an upcoming trend? So TM, a great question. It's, so this one, a popular singer who we did that class a few weeks ago, and I showed this color technique as well. I think a lot of the popular pop singers and alternative singers are, because of Billie Eilish, I think really, has a lot to do with it. Her little kind of pop of color. So I think other artists are trying to do a similar thing. So this blue in the front is kind of, I think, her version of that look. But that's just my opinion. I obviously don't know why she chose it. But so I think pops of color are definitely going to be a trend for some people, younger people. It also does take like your money piece and it allows you to have some fun with it because it will obviously fade out and then it'll become, you know, another, it'll just be blonde again. So you could have some fun with it that way. I think this is a case where celebrities do a more extreme version and then our clients will do kind of more subtle, little more subtle, some of them. Almost there. Just really want to get it nice and smooth before I start detailing. So I'm just giving a slight bevel too on the edge. All right. So we're getting there. Now what I want to do is just kind of add a little bit of spray to it. It has a little bit more hold to see where we're at, the overall shape. Then I'm going to start cutting that perimeter line. So here's worked up. Another flexible spray. I'm Paul Mitchell. Spray that in. This will just kind of keep the hair in the place I want it and I'm going to start working my perimeter line. So we're going to start in the back. Now I'll bring this up. I'm going to comb it kind of into natural fall and then I'm going to start working a perimeter line and just defining that all the way around the head. So it's important to keep your eyes flat again because that will help keep a balanced line. So what you don't want to happen is for it to kind of flip flop around. So I like to go in keep those eyes flat and look at this from all different angles as I work through it. Cut up underneath. This is that detail work I was talking about that you really can't rush this part. So the other part you can get through pretty quick. I'm using the tip to create the line and then once I get the line kind of where I want it then I can go in with my blade a little flatter and define it. Keep her head flat and this part right here this is where we combed it back into the haircut which it's still going to live back there right? So I want to kind of comb it back that way. Let me do this. I'm going to slide these clips are the worst. I might create a little crease but all right I comb that back and I'll continue cutting into my line. Kathy thank you so much appreciate it. Sunset has such a great question or sunset. Do you have secret tips how to keep customers? I really want your to hear your opinion. So sunset that is a great question. I think the biggest struggle that stylists have is keeping those customers and the one thing that I've found is that we focus solely on relationship at the beginning of a client's journey with us. So like let's say a client starts coming to us. They're new. We roll out the red carpet. We do all kinds of different things. We do a nice thorough consultation. We offer new ideas to them. They're psyched. They come back because they had such a great visit. Then second round they come. You know we ask them how their hair was. What things they enjoyed about it. What things they didn't enjoy. Make adjustments. They're psyched and they come back. Come fourth fifth visit. A lot of times we get comfortable. We become friendly or we have other new clients. The newness has worn off and now we're not recommending new things. We're not pushing ourselves to learn new things. So now that new client starts to think well maybe I need to go somewhere else because I need somebody that is going to treat me that way. Going to give me recommendations. They love you but they want something new and they don't feel like you're offering it or maybe they don't feel like you can do it. So for me the key would be to treat every customer every time they come in like it's their first time. Not like don't remember their name. You remember new clients names anyways. But more like treat them like you would if they were new. Be interested in it. That would be my biggest piece of advice and I think it's the most struggle for certain stylists. Comb this hair back off the face. So same thing. Keep the head flat. Now I'm working the opposite side. It's one thing if the angle in front of you looks good but then if you just slightly turn it you might find that it doesn't look good. So you got to keep refining in all angles of the cut. I'm gonna do a little bit of hair spray. Just smooth this down just a little bit. She's not real. She's fine. All right so just continuing through. So now I'm going to start to let this out. I'm using Paul Mitchell hold me tight right here as my final kind of styling product. All right almost there guys. So I just take one more look. Continue working that line. All right so now I'll start looking at it and all the different angles here to make sure that I end up the solid line all the way around. See that line right there. This line I just want to keep working that. That line looks pretty good and then I turn it here. So I don't turn it all the way to the other side. I turn it here because now look at this line. So I want to keep defining it because this drops a little bit. So I'll go in and I'll start cutting this line around. So it's important to make sure that this head is not tilted right. You want to make sure you look straight on. No tilt. Let's see where that line is. So it just drops a little bit over here. So then I bring it up. This goes back to what we talked about earlier. So we want to do this on themselves. I'm sweating doing it on somebody else. No one will do it like we do. The ones that work hard. Let's take a look again. Do that line now. Starting to balance more right there. So all in all I could definitely spend some more time and I will refining that line but that's kind of the idea. So you just keep rotating it. Keep looking at it and getting it to that you know that line that you're looking for right here. So it has a slight little balance with the jaw and that's where we cut it too. So just take a look at that line that we created. It just has a much more flattering look when there's a purpose behind your line. You're not just cutting a line to cut it. So you cut it to definitely showcase the jaw. So there is look number one. We pop up what that we were kind of mimicking here. Now hers is longer but I wanted to kind of do an in between of look two and look one. So you can see it's just a nice blunt hair cut. Shoulder length looks really good. So there's that one. Now I want to quickly show you guys because we've been on here for a while. I want to quickly show you guys look two and how we're going to create this. Kind of flip it a little bit into look number two. They're not that different. I'm not going to cut it wet at all. I'm going to cut the fringe and then I'm going to cut just into it a little bit and show you how I style it. So let's get into that one real quick here. The one thing I will wet down is the fringe because I blew it dry to go kind of backwards. So I want to add a little bit of moisture to those. This won't take much. Okay so now we've done that. How do we section it off here? Okay so this is kind of the Queen's Gambit. I think it's called Spin on a 2021 trend. Nice little flip out bob. If you google Queen's Gambit hairstyle I think that's majority of what comes up. They have a lot of cool hair on that show. I don't even watch the show but I just did a little research. All right so I got a good center part in here and I want to pull my fringe. Now this was a virtual cutting club class. I don't know if it was this week. I think it was this week. Yep. So if you join the club make sure you unlock that video of yesterday. We talked about fringe a lot and so this is based on client density right? So this is fine to medium density. So she doesn't have a ton of hair so I can take a little bit more out of my fringe area to section this off. What I don't want to do is go past this bevel right here in most cases. So because that's going to cause styling problems for my clients. I want this hair that wants to fall forward to be a part of it. So let's go up the head shape. Switch combs here. So I go up the head shape and kind of where the head starts to pivot right here. It's a little pivot mark. I'm going to draw from that pivot point down to the hairline. So take out a little triangle there. There we go and I might take a little more. All right so there is the first part of our fringe section. Put that away. You guys can see nice little triangle out of the top. I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side. So from that point I'm going to draw down to the hairline. So why is this important the way that we section this? Most importantly we don't want to create sideburns in the haircut. So I want to make sure that none of this temple area gets locked in to my fringe. The fringe unless you're pushing the limits really is going to live in this area right here to the hairline. So some people say edge of eyebrow. I go right to this hairline that's a good stopping point for me. And now I've got this hair right here that I can cut my fringe on. I'm actually going to take a little less. Okay now I've got this area for my fringe. Again add a little bit of H2O. And now I could cut this fringe using my scissors but it would take a couple more steps. And I honestly have so much success using the tri razor to cut a fringe that I don't see a reason why I would use anything else. So this has got to be one of the number one fringing tools there is. Let alone cutting layers and texture and all of that throughout the haircut. But this is a tri razor. We developed it from and launched it in December so we worked on it all last year. Got it manufactured. This is our tool. You can get it on our shop, ShopFSE. So if you guys could please post that in the chat so everybody sees it. It's going to cut 100% of the hair right here. And then you've got two texturizing sides which we're going to use in this cut. So her fringe is really textured. So look at 100% and then you've got texture 25 so this will cut 25% of the hair and then this side will cut 50% of the hair. So depending on the density that you're working with I also want to put up look number two. Alright look number two. There we go. So you've got your tri razor. We want to cut that kind of oh we want to cut that broken fringe sits just below the eyebrow but then she has it styled so it kind of sits on the eyebrow. So that's where we want to kind of focus in. So and then I'm going to show you guys two techniques. It'll help kind of just kick out the the bottom and then we will be good to go. So let's go back to this camera. Alright so I grab the fringe in my hand and here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to pinch it in my hand like this. I've done this a few times but I'm going to do things a little bit different this time. So let me go here. It's going to be the easiest for you guys to see even out this section. You really want to make sure that your sections mimic each other on both sides. The head straight and this is really the key to being able to cut all at once. So if you want to cut your section and not take a bunch of sections you got to make sure everything makes sense where it is. That's the the key to that. So here we go. I grab this hair in my hand. I'm not going to grab it too tight. So I'm not pulling on the hair. I'm just keeping it all gathered together in my hand but I also even though I'm not holding it tight I want to make sure that the tension in this section is all very similar throughout the the cut. Now I take my texture 25 side and that's what I'm going to go in and cut. She's sprayed her a little bit. A little bit too much there. Okay. So I comb the hair like this. Pinch it together in my hands. Make sure my thumb is kind of pointing directly over the bridge of the nose and then I go in. I got loose tension and I start working that 25 texture side. Now I'll go a little bit high and a little bit low. So kind of back and forth and then what that's going to do is just give me some different lengths and remove some of the hair. So now I've done that right. Now I'm going to go in 100% and finish off the line. So just 100% cut through. Now watch what happens. A turner like this. You're going to see you get a nice kind of shattered, more shattered feel to the line as opposed to a more solid blunt effect. So just like that it's that easy using the tri-razor to go through it. Again post it in the in the chat if you can. I love it. We ship these worldwide. So the 44.95 for the razor comes with three blades in it and then five blade pack with it and you can order extra packs of blades as well. Blades are really easy to change so let me show you that real quick. So you just take this here. You find the side that has the edge. You pop this off and you lift up the top and it exposes the blades. You change the blades out. You put this back on, snap these two sides, put your top back on and you're good to go. And the blades are really really sharp and strong. So they work well. All right so now what I want to do is blow dry the hair and then kind of finish off this style. So here we go. So how long do the blades last? The blades really it's determined based on the thickness of the hair you're working with and then also the thickness of the hair that you're working with and the coarseness of the hair but I'm finding and I'm going to try to do a little bit more testing on this but you'll know when you need to change the blades if you feel if it doesn't feel like it's just taking the hair right off. It should just like kind of like hot knife through butter just kind of go right through it. Most of the time you can just slide the tri razor through. So you shouldn't feel any struggle whatsoever. I'm finding that that's probably the third haircut I've done with that blade. You know and I don't use it for full haircuts all the time either so being able to use it just for that quick thing you could do probably you know 20 bangs 30 bangs like that if you wanted to. All right so one more thing is going to happen. I'm going to use the tri razor again. I'm going to do a 50 texture 50 side on the hair to create the final part of this look. We've got a blunt bob. What I want to do is just right on the edge. So right about an inch above where it rests at the bottom I go right here just like this. So right at the bottom of the hair 50 texture just swipe in and that will add just that tiny bit of layering and break up the bottom. So I'll do that all the way through just again 50. Texturize the bottom. You can already see it just pops texture into it so it's not a blunt line anymore. Same thing here texture here texture. Now and you could do that with a single blade I think somebody was asking that or just mentioning that. You could totally do anything. You could do this with a scissor if you wanted to. It's just so easy to do it with the tri razor that I don't I don't know why I wouldn't do it with anything else because you just don't need to. All right so a couple things to style this up. I'm going to grab a brush I'm going to give this a little flip. So I'm going to add a little elevation to this and then put my iron underneath and just kind of kick it out a little bit. You'll start to see that little pop and flip that and you can see the texture that's that happened from the the razor. Same thing here a little flip pretty simple. I know some of you were thinking who would have thought we'd be doing this again. So if I grab this much hair in my hand and I just put the iron in and I flip out a little bit it's just subtle it's not I'm not trying to be crazy with the amount of flipping and thing through the back just give it a little kick out and the last little bit that I want to do here is I got this fringe and it's pretty much where I want it at this point but I'm just going to cut up into it a little bit with my scissor and that's just to add that little bit of separation throughout and then I'm going to finalize this style using Paul Mitchell spray wax which is one of my all-time favorite products. See it right here so again flexible style I spray that on the hair this has definitely more of a kind of waxy feel you can feel it in the hair for sure but it's going to add the separation to the style through it. I'll do the same thing in the fringe so just piecing this just a little bit and I like having a little more texture in this style let me show you guys kind of this end result just taking that same blunt bob and making a couple adjustments and now you get you know look number two which has a little more kind of fun kick to it see I know I'm in the way hang on so just kicking out those bottoms creating that style that's pretty cool thank you guys so much glad you guys like it fun little transformation so we went from look number one to look number two with just a couple swipes of a tri razor to get it done all right so I see some of you guys are asking about the uh let me pop my camera uh some of you guys are asking about the video of the color so um if you want to see that video

think we did a good job today hope you guys enjoyed it uh if you enjoyed the class let me see where we're at uh Christine you're very welcome ma'am Frodo video tripod yes that's what that is thank you sunset appreciate that great question today uh when shows can resume will you platform for p.m uh I don't know I never say never but probably not um this is my platform as of right now but we'll see Catherine uh check out Catherine's post on facebook she's posting the website to get the tri-raiser thank you so much Catherine you're the best uh Karen thank you so much let's see second one is my personal favorite but I will probably be at the hair shows just so I tend to try to figure out how to be there some one way or the other but uh I don't know I don't think about all of that um on the second cut I must have missed it but why what center part angle or diagonal instead of straight back in the line with the note so I'm not sure this question carry um but in the second cut it should be center back so maybe it was on a slight angle I'm not sure but uh shouldn't have been so should have been a straight triangle down like if you look at and I'm getting a new board I promise uh tomorrow so you guys don't have to see this blackboard anymore even though it's cool it's uh very reflective and not magnetic so um so here if you look at the head shape here let's go focus um it was a straight this is how it should be done straight parting down right then when you get to this point then you take your parting to the hairline on both sides so then you've got this is your fringe area here and this is what you're going to cut down with the tri razor so you pull it all to a center point here and then you cut on that at that point back a little bit so you pull everything to this point you hold it in your hand your thumb should be pointing at the nose at that point and then you start cutting right about here with your 25 and you cut here then here then here then here so you kind of go back and forth with it with the 25 then when you get halfway through you start carving with the 100 texture side so you start off it might be kind of hard to see whiteboard will be much better so you start off with your 25 texture and you move here on the section back and forth so I go up here and cut down here and cut up here and cut and I'm not going big like this I want to go different so the 25 is taking out different 25s all over the place so I go there and there and there and then when I get almost through switch to 100 and just finish off that line with little tiny strokes of the razor there and that cuts it so that's really the breakdown of that okay are we good are we good are we good was your favorite cutting lotion quick slips good um which is what I use today now I like to use whatever product I'm choosing to be my cutting lotion because I want to work that product through as much as possible so this one today it's quick slip um and then you know other times I might use a foam something something cream based as usually might go to and then uh if I have to I'll use something different all right love to see you live can you talk a little bit about lightning apply on wet hair more tips so mariam that's a great question as well um so you guys might have seen the video where I put lightener on wet hair to bleach somebody out to white I learned that from here like a boss who is a good friend um he he showed me that technique I watched it happen live in the studio so then I started doing it and I love it because of the saturation of it a lot of people think that it's going to dilute the hair I really don't think it does I think as long as the hair isn't soaking wet you're not going to really dilute it it just makes the lightener go through it a lot smoother and I saturate the sections to to make hair white with so much lightener that it's going to feel wet anyway so I just you got to really take it on make sure that hair is not really breathing and it's just all that lightener's going into it uh you're welcome can these techniques be used on natural can these techniques be used on natural hair yeah uh for sure so I think things change up a little bit and you know there's been a couple times where I've done this technique on natural hair wet but a lot of times I cut if I'm cutting natural hair I'm learning to try to cut it dry um I don't get the opportunity to cut it as much as I would love to but um but I do try this technique especially on a little bit more relaxed wave hair uh waved hair you can do this technique and it looks beautiful so somebody that has a nice wave to it just no tension just cut you know that length and then when you go to do the fringe if you're going to do a fringe obviously you cut that longer than I did because it's going to retract and go up Catherine you're you're with it on the links today so she's sharing the link to become part of the virtual cutting club so very cool
