 Alright guys so today what I wanted to do is create something a little bit like a quick tip but also a full haircut so what I did was I took a mannequin that we had cut already it was our long layered haircut with the face frame so if you look back a couple videos you'll see it what I wanted to do is take that haircut and quickly turn it into a bob using a carving comb razor so I'll show you guys how to do that and then what we did was I showed you a couple versatile styles with it so let me show you what the curly look like here and then now I'm going to show you what the straight style looks like that way it shows you guys that this haircut can work on both curly hair and straight hair because I knew I was going to get those questions but also the great thing about this is it's such a quick technique so you can use it in the salon on a busy day when you need to establish a shape and then go in and dry cut and detail it so hope you guys like it check it out here we go with our step-by-step alright so we start off this cut with sectioning from the parietal ridge back to mid crown across drawing a horizontal line across mid crown and then back across the parietal ridge so creating a nice rectangle shape on the top and then we section out the temple area directly behind the ear and clip that away so to start this cut we're going to take out about a four inch panel out of the back so pretty much finger width so base it on that and then we're going to use our carving comb at a 45 degree angle and just use quick small strokes to create the line we're drawing a horizontal line all the way across the back of the head and what that's going to do is because of the head shape it's going to create different elevations within the haircut so we're actually creating a bob shape by doing one cut and this works really great on medium to fine hair with thicker hair you might want to take a couple sections but you can see that shape already unfolding this is a quick way to cut a bob in the salon get your shape stamped out in the haircut and then go in and do some dry cutting later so again keeping that carving comb at a 45 degree angle the great thing about the carving comb is that I'm using carving comb fine there's a wide-toothed version as well the only difference is the actual comb that's on the end of it so I'm using the fine teeth to get more precise sectioning and better combing and then I go through and I just slide it's 100% carved side so it'll cut 100% of the hair on one side and then 50% of the hair on the other so as I take down each section I like to use the Donald Scott prepare which is a liquid tool glide it it's conditioning for the hair so it allows the razor to glide through the hair nice and soft and what we're going to do now is create an undercut and this is a quick way to do it you don't have to always shave an undercut what I want to do is create some shorter pieces underneath the bob which would allow the top layers the heavier layers to just sit on top of it and create a little extra shape in the haircut but also remove weight so I just go in cut that bottom occipital bone area a little shorter and then you can see the rest falls over nice and long now we're going to go in with our 50% carve side so the entire cut so far we've been using the 100% carved side which is just like using any type of razor now we're going in with the 50% carved side which is just going to take out 50% of the hair and cut in some layers within the top section so where I like to start that is right around the occipital bone I feel like that's you know a good place where all that weight's going to stack up so it removes that weight and adds that layering and now we just go into the sides we comb them straight down and I just carved the line that I want so if you want a straight horizontal line more of a boxed bob feel then you just draw a straight line that's the beauty of using a razor it's very very easy to create those shapes and it gives you a lot of freedom so a little bit more prepare prepares great to because it also helps with sectioning because it is a little bit of a conditioner so even cutting hair with a scissor it works really well so you can see we're going through sliding medium stroke with the razor I do want to create more of a shattered edge with this haircut obviously any time I use a razor I'm looking for more of a free kind of textured look to the hair so we go through cut the line I go through with the 50% carved side and just remove some of the weight now I'm going through this is 100% carved I'm just bringing that top panel that rectangle that we created on the top over directing it back and connecting it with the back layers but I was saying to you guys earlier this is a previously cut haircut so this isn't a fresh mannequin and this is a very salon reality kind of situation because she had a layered haircut that we had done already so just going through and this is somebody that wants a little bit of a change you can go through and create this bob effect keeping the layers that she already had and now we're just going through I diffuse it I use brocado mousse in there and now I'm going to go through do a little bit of dry cutting this is the tease cutting technique that I've used a lot but I love doing it on curly hair because it's just you're going through you're looking for places that seem a little bit bulky in the cut and then just removing them with the tease cutting for that I use my Mizutani puffin five and a half inch scissor it's my dry cutting scissor so you could see the curly shape and how it expanded out there this mannequin doesn't really have curly hair so I went in and just did a diffuser it did have a little bit of natural wave to it so I hope you guys like the curly style now we're going to get into the straight style so we'll do a quick flat wrap blow-dry polishing out those ends finishing it up with our vibra straight iron and the goal with smoothing out hair is just to make sure that you polish it and follow the head shape with the hair you want to see where it's heavy and where it's not so now I'm going through just detailing the edges obviously when you cut with a razor you're gonna have a little bit more of a shattered edge so I go through there and just soften it with a little point cutting and now I'm going through with the no-thumbs technique which if you want to learn we have on past videos so definitely check those out so finishing up the outer perimeter I just moving into the side still using a point cutting technique so just using the tip of that scissor and going through and deciding what I want that line to look like in the end result keeping a lot of people ask me about scissor length the shorter your scissor the stronger the tip of the blades gonna be so when you want to go in and do this type of detail work the Mizutani puff and works great because it has a sharp tip a sharp point on it and also a really fat blade so it has a lot of power when working with dry hair so we go in we do a little bit of tease cutting I'm doing more on the straight cut as opposed to the curly cut the curly cut I just do a little bit to lighten it up with curly hair you like a little extra weight with straighter hair I like to add in more texture more movement so we just go in with the tease cutting technique and do it that way I use the brocato carve to finish up this technique I love it it's such a salon friendly look so when you guys use this haircut in the salon definitely
