 No, correct, he looked great. Number 007, know you did not hear me wrong. That's what we're calling it now, get into it. Tonight we're doing a sweet ass disconnected haircut with Matt Beck. Tonight joining us are, we have two different rosters of people tonight. We're gonna start with these group, this crew, and then a couple more are gonna join us. So we got Justin Scott. I'm back. Got Thad and his monster beard. Hey you. Still, you can't do better than that. Me, Brian Hare, Matt's getting ready to cut and take it. And shortly we'll have Christina and Hayden joining us. Stray is not feeling well, so send her some love. Cool? All right, cool. So tonight, I'm really excited because we're going to focus on disconnection in a haircut. If you guys can see that, can you show the other angle of the haircut? So the thing I love most about this cut that we did earlier today that I've been posting all over Instagram is the shortness in the layers. You guys know I love kind of a molady feel to a haircut. But the thing that I love about this cut is that it's pretty seamless. So if you look at it, it's very shattered, has a lot of fun layers and pieces. But if you comb it out, it's very soft, sleek. You don't see the layering throughout it until you start to move the hair and then you see that movement come to life. So Christina actually calls this my David Bowie labyrinth haircut. So can you throw that picture up real quick? You see that? Throw it up. Does it up there? So yeah, it's very similar if you look at, now you can come back. Just some amazing color. Yeah, it's a fun, yeah. Okay, so thank you Brian Hair for doing the hair color last week. So if you guys saw podcast or podcast 006, Brian did this awesome hair color. So I just went in and had some fun with the haircut. So this is what we're gonna do today. We're gonna focus on the disconnection, creating these longer pieces. Where do we put this connection, all that stuff. So if you guys have questions, make sure that you post them in the comments below. We're gonna have a lot of fun in this class. I know that we're gonna spend the next hour together. So make sure that you're asking questions and interacting. Justin and Brian are in the chat room taking your questions and we're gonna, we also have questions from Instagram as well. So, we have so much. Yeah, so. All right guys, so I'm gonna set up the mannequin. Brian, if you wanna pull up some of those questions then we can get started. Sure. And then we'll start the haircut. That's delicious. All right, so for starters, actually this is a pretty good one, but sorry, Matt, you're gonna have to answer. Okay. Dolo Deuce says how many different techniques are there in disconnected haircuts and which one would be a good, which would be a good way to learn that. All right, so I feel like this one is definitely gonna be answered throughout this haircutting technique. But let's just break down real quick and then hopefully it'll help answer your questions. So you can see that the sectioning in this haircut is pretty crazy. There's a lot of different panels within the haircut and I think that a lot of people seeing this, I'm gonna show it more close up so you guys can see it. I also filmed this haircut today, so I'm going to put out a simplified version of this haircut as well for different types of learning for you guys. So on this mannequin, what we did was we started off the sectioning. My thought process was I wanted to have this kind of skirt area around the bottom of the haircut and then all the fun layers on top. So if you look at, technically I have a disconnection here right on the side. Now the reason I did a little bit fatter disconnection on the side here as opposed to right here through the ear is that the density of the hair drops dramatically right here. We're gonna have some thickness in those layers and then this panel is gonna drop down in the back, veil over and then again on this side, this is gonna drop down. So we're actually not even going to cut the temple area or this back bottom area. So it's really key. The kitchen. The kitchen, okay. It's really key when you guys look at this technique is that you come across the occipital bone and when you come across to the ear, you leave a little bit of hair so it meets up so that there is a veil that comes down. If you don't and you cut this off too short, you're gonna have a gap and it's not gonna work out. So. It's gonna be a real mullet. Then it's gonna look like a real mullet, yeah. Then you will have that. So everything else in the interior we're gonna work on. So let's just make sure that we have the, what's the question again? I think it was how many techniques are there? So I think there's. So I don't think there's like, I don't know the answer to that. Limitless. Yeah, I mean there's so many different possibilities. The reason I'm doing this connection in this part of the haircut is because I love how we can create all those shorter layers. If it was connected, you wouldn't be able to have those shorter layers because you couldn't connect this length and this length unless you cut concave. But I like that separation. The other thing that I love and I'll show you guys here is that with the disconnection, you can see that it actually pops up a shape in the back. So you could really stack this up and then this is gonna lay nice and sleek. So if I were to concave it, it's not gonna pile up as well as if I did the disconnection and kind of built a shape within the haircut. So it's almost like doing two haircuts within one cut at the same time. Hopefully that makes sense. But so let's, we're gonna get started. Brian, why don't you grab one more question so I can get the mannequin set right and then we'll get going. Okay. Tara Max 78 said, how do you choose a certain color line when your salon carries four different ones for each client that sits in your chair? I think that really is just gonna be a breakdown to whichever one you feel most comfortable with. I mean, if you are, if you know all of them then you know there are certain, you know, this line's gonna give you more intense reds. This one's gonna give you better gray coverage. This one's gonna have a better high lift. So I think just using your knowledge to customize, because there's nothing saying like, well, this client has to have this color line. I think it's just gonna be a matter of, you have a multitude of tools at your disposal. Yeah, because one color line might have a better, like tones for blondes. One another one will have better tones for reds or different types of reds. Like one might have a better violet red. Yup. So I think the question though is how, then how do you choose? So just by learning the lines well enough to know what, when to use what tool. Yeah. Like not all color lines are created equal. So attend all the classes, learn everything that you can, and choose appropriately. But I mean, don't make an experiment. That's what I feel, I see, I don't see a lot of it anymore. It's people, like I remember when I was in school and I started working in this year, I'd go to the beauty store, pick up my mom's color. I wanna make gray, I don't figure out how to make gray. If I wanna see what kind of cool patterns I can do, I'm gonna take three different colors and see what they do on a mannequin or I want my friends. I feel that a lot of this industry has kind of lost that experimenting and it's gone to the internet to ask, how can I do this without trying to figure out how to try anything new? Right. So I think that's also one way to do it too, except take all your classes and the more you know from personal experience, the better you're gonna feel about picking something for yourself. Sweet. Matt. Yeah. Jose Rivera, our friend. Yeah. Is asking you what would you say makes this haircut more modern? Like what makes a pompadour modernist type fading in some disconnection, therefore what makes this haircut more modern? I think what makes this haircut more modern is the style put into it. So if you look at the David Bowie style that we threw up earlier, that one has kind of the poofed out fringe and a lot of volume, that was kind of like the shag of, yeah? Someone said. My mic is off. Everyone's asking if you're mic'd. I am mic'd. And it's just all of a sudden, batter's not dead or anything? No. For solid? It's low. It's good. That's not low. Maybe just try refreshing the page, guys. Is that all it is? I don't know. Two people have said something. Can you hear me through here? I would put those on just a... The rest of us are so fine. Does everybody say they can't hear me or just you can hear me? Yeah. No. And it shows up right there, right? Yeah. All right. More solid. So I don't know why people... Then away we go. The address of the address is talking to us. So maybe there's like something like the internet. Okay. Well, can you ask Drea if she can hear? Just to make sure. Oh, I left the address much longer. All right. So... People can hear you. We're good. We're good? Yeah. All right, guys. So let's get into the haircut. Right now, what we're going to do is I'm going to start off in the back panel. Now, again, this part in the back shift around. Underneath here, this is all the disconnection. So we're not going to cut anything there. We're going to start in the mid-part. Now, I know a big question is going to be how do you choose where to start? The address that you were doing the entire time. Okay, cool. So where do you start and how do you pick your length, right? So first things first, I like to go... I went with the high occipital bone. What I did was I focused on how much density I wanted to leave down. I don't want it to be too thick. So if they had really thick hair, I might go a little bit lower. And again, if they have skinnier hair, I'd definitely go higher with the haircut. So then, as I go through here, I'm going to be pulling the hair directly out vertical from the head. So we're working higher than the head shape. What I mean by that is, you guys can see here, I'm standing on the right-hand side of the mannequin, and I'm working my finger angle just high above the head. So we're cutting a concave shape at this point, and then we're going to round it off through the top. So we're starting off working concave. Now you're going to pick how short you want this to be. The shorter, the better I think the shape is because the shorter the hair, the stronger it is. If you think about, somebody said one time, a tape measurer, if you run the tape measurer out, the longer it gets, then it falls down, right? So a hair is kind of the same way. If it's shorter, it's going to be stronger, it's going to hold the shape better. As soon as it starts to extend out, it's going to fall flat. Gravity's going to pull it down. So I want to start off my line. Good analogy. Yeah, I didn't come up with it. But thank you to whoever did. I'm owning it. Now I'm over directing everything to the previous, yes? I think they're just not used to you being here and not talking. It's weird. Actually, we have a question when you're ready for it. OK, I'm ready. So this. Ready. OK, we have Kalicious. Kalicious. What is the correct technique for holding your scissors, wrists, and fingers when cutting? I've been studying education videos and noticed everyone has their own techniques. But I would like to know how to ensure haircuts are even and accurate with every slice. You're taking my job. You're taking my job, girl. So let's not worry about you, too. OK, so the question is with hand angles and how do you keep your wrist, honestly. There are certain times when you see me, I'm working through. And I could. I'm definitely more comfortable working like this. But because my elbow is so high and my wrist is cocked, I like to kind of come through here and I'm working on staying more flat with my wrist. And working through with my cut. Now, I've found that I can stay just as consistent that way. And the more comfortable you are, the more consistent you'll be. So you want to make sure that with every haircut that you're doing, everything that you're doing, you're comfortable. You're not stretching too far. And then your haircuts are definitely going to turn out better and be more consistent. That's really the goal in everything that you're doing with hair cutting. With color, you can just throw it everywhere. Throw it on the wall, see if it sticks. I mean, yeah, look at our stations. Right. I don't know how they're still white. All right, so now, I'm going to show you guys, I'm working. I need swivels. Staying on the same side of the head, cutting the same concave layering. Turn this. So now you guys can see I'm bringing everything to that previous section through here. So everything's being sectioned back vertical and then brought straight out from the head to the previous section. So just a slight over direction, not too much. But working that same angle. Fad, do you want to keep the camera on here? But we can grab another question, Brian, if you want. Yeah, I'm just making sure that we've got the right angle on. We actually, we had somebody earlier about what product there is near the hair for the cut. Or is it just wet? There's just. I'm prepping every cut with prepare, the Donald Scott spray. I like that it gives a nice slip to the hair. I know Justin's kind of been in love with that product as well. But I like spraying it in the hair. It's not too heavy. I think a lot of times I was using heavier products for a cutting lotion. But this is specifically for razor cutting and hair cutting. So it gives a slip to the hair and a little bit of hold for your sectioning. But it doesn't overpower the hair and feel heavy on it. Matt, your guy, is that stationary or are you using a traveling? It's traveling to the previous. So we went from 2 to 1, 3 to 2, 4 to 3, and so on. The final countdown. Someone said it's like a layered triangle? Yeah, it's a layered triangle in a way. But almost square as well. It's really almost square because we're working our way across the head and then everything's over directed back. So I would say we have a pretty straight horizontal line across the back of the head if we're working, if we're thinking in shape. OK, so that is the back of the head. You can see that that is pretty much like a nice little bob, kind of shaggy bob feel. So you can see that's why it's basically two haircuts put into one. All right, now we're going to work into the top. So I'm not taking out these side panels because those are the disconnection, and so is the bottom. So I'm just going to take out this diamond shape here. And real quick, just so you guys don't get confused, we started off the best way to start off the sectioning for this haircut. I don't expect you guys to do this exact same thing. But if you want to do something similar, we took the triangle out of the front. So I took a center parting. Then we took out the triangle. Then I went straight down center back. And then I drew the line from mid crown around a horseshoe section right to the temple area or the recession point. And I did the same thing on the other side. That's what gave me these nice little diamond shapes in the back. Then I kept my center line down when a cross occipital bone across here. And that gave me my section in the bottom. So the sectioning is pretty simple, even though it looks like there's a lot going on. So I'm going to comb the hair back. I like to work the hair with my comb in the direction that I'm going to be parting it for the haircut. And this, again, is going to be a traveling guide. And our guideline is going to come from what we just cut previously. And we're going to work this with the round of the head. So we're cutting this at 90 degrees straight out. And this looks short, guys. This is short. So this isn't necessarily what you would do on everyone. But it's a great technique to stay consistent and to work with that disconnection. And I'm sure there are people that would want to wear these shorter layers. If they don't, you could do a longer version of this haircut very easily on your guest. So traveling guide. And I'm working this part of the round of the head just like I did in the back. So as I get to this corner here, I'm not coming straight out from the head. I'm coming straight up. So it just gives me a little extra length on the side. And it also helps layer the sides so we don't get that line from the layering in the haircut. Or would you do this haircut as a dry cut? No, because I think the greatest thing about this haircut is that it's a very precise haircut. And that's why it's falling so seamlessly because each layer is being cut with a purpose. So you can see I haven't left this side of the head at all. I'm still working the same thing, working the sectioning exactly the same on both sides. The only difference on this side is I'm pushing the hair away from me towards my guideline. So we always want to push that new hair towards the guide instead of pushing the guide towards the new hair. So you push your guide. It's going to stretch the haircut out. And you'll be shifting your guide through the haircut, and it won't be consistent. I wish that I had gone in and colored the disconnection different to show that off. I like that it is a. I mean, I know that'll take away from showing how well it blends. Yeah. But just as more visual. Right. So don't they do still a lot of color in your hair cuts? It's up, Justin. You got a question by cut by Oscar. OK. This is right up your alley. What is the difference between the Mizetani Blacksmith Fit Puffin and the Acro Leaf Wide, both for dry and slide cutting, is one better than the other, and vice versa, and certain features? OK, so good question, Oscar. The Mizetani Acro Leaf Wide, so the Acro series of Mizetani has a certain handle type. Just like the Blacksmith Fit Puffin has the Blacksmith Fit handle type as well. So it's really just what handle you're most comfortable with. And the Acro, they're made of similar metals, those two scissors, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's more about the handle. I believe that the metals are similar, but I don't know. I've never used the Acro Wide, so I do have the Puffin. So if I had to choose, I liked the Puffin, especially because of the price point. I feel like the price point fits really well for the amount of use that you use with a dry cutting scissor, and it's a top quality scissor. I know if that has it. Oh, I love it. Yeah. I have it right here. I have a giant hand. We're going to use it in a little bit. It's a 5 and 1 half inch shear. It just feels comfortable for me. Can you see it? There you go. So this is the Blacksmith Fit handle. And then let's see if I have an Acro. I mean, I have the Acro Type Z2, so you can kind of see. Everything in Mizetani, the name is based on the handle. So here's the Acro Type Z2, and then here's the Blacksmith Fit. I actually think that this Blacksmith Fit with a little kind of triangle piece to your ring finger fits really well, and it makes it so your finger doesn't move around in the hole. So you get a nice grip on the scissor when you're cutting. So maybe that means you're a Blacksmith because it fits you. Yeah, maybe. I'm looking through our questions. We've got to actually, what I love, we have a whole bunch of brand new stylists. Some are still in beauty school, biology school. So good luck, you guys. A couple good questions. One is asking, what's a really good way to build a strong book? He says quickly, because he wants to have a full book in two to four years. Honestly, I think that's about what it takes. I don't know that that's necessarily accelerated. I think so long as you're a bus in your house, you can totally make that a reality. Dad, do you want to go to whatever angle button? My belly was not the angle I was looking for on that. So get to my double chin instead. Yeah, please. Somebody else has asked, what's your best advice for new stylists? I think that over the past couple of years, I think we've pretty much settled on our best advice is stay educated. Yeah. And I know that sounds like obvious for us to say, but that's what works for all of us in our careers. And we've seen what constantly educating yourself can do for us and other people and just your skill and your talent and confidence and everything. So I think that's a good one. Plus, we had a question on the Matt Beck show where the guy was asking how not to stay out. Dr. Gehling, what was it? Earned out and you feel stagnant. And I feel education, you can't really feel too stagnant if you're always learning and you want to try that new technique, whether it's one person a week, that's something that you want to try. You can't really see stagnant if you want to educate yourself. Absolutely. All right, last bit of this haircut. Well, important. And this is what I'm saying, once you section a haircut, when I first started mapping out my haircut first, there was a guy named Scott Cole who I watched really closely when I was working with the Paul Mitchell crew. And I always looked up to the way that he cut hair because he would map out an entire haircut before he did it. And the great thing about it, he would even go through and in the disconnections, he would put the clip facing down. It was either down or up. So let's say a disconnection, he would put the clip facing down and then everything he was gonna cut, he would put pointing up. And I just thought that thought process is really good for new stylists because when you map out a haircut, it makes your workflow better. Anytime you plan something out, it's gonna come out better than if you just go in there and go crazy and start cutting things. So just make sure that everything that you do has a purpose behind it. Think about the way that the weight's gonna shift and move in the haircut. Like, I know layers this short and a long haircut are kind of crazy, but they're not really crazy as long as they fall seamlessly. If they fall and they don't make sense in the haircut, that's when it's a mistake, right? So. Or a surprise. Or a surprise. Last little bit of the haircut. I love this part because we're gonna connect this short layer piece here to the fringe area. What? What? Get out of here. So I'm gonna take a vertical section right down the center of the fringe. I'm gonna elevate this up. I'm gonna grab a piece from right back in the point. You're real quick. What kind of comb are you using over there? This is the 334 comb from YS Park. No. I didn't get you one though. I know a guy. All right, so. I am going to layer the front fringe here. Now normally I would not wanna layer the fringe, but what I'm gonna do is I wanna go in and break up the fringe, then I'm gonna go through in the dry cut and soften it. So I'm just saying your mic is kind of distorted. I think that was when you put the headphones down because I could keep it. Yeah. Maybe that too. Maybe turn it down just a little bit, Thad, since I thought it wasn't working. And then I turned it up. Is that me? Yeah. Ocho. You can go down a little bit more. All right. Why is he doing that? Keeping it with the fringe and what will it do? I'm not necessarily keeping it right with the fringe. The fringe mark, the guide is coming out right there. I just wanna connect it flow to the back. It doesn't have to connect completely. And because this is a little bit shorter, it's even a little bit shorter than my previous cut. So I'll show you guys. Getting crazy in the class, but y'all. A little bit different here. So here was my hair before. So it's a tiny bit shorter. It's not much, but it connects in. And then what that does is it cuts a layered part of the fringe. So it's not a heavy fringe that goes through and we can go in and point cut that out, which we're gonna do in a second. And I'll show you guys. So we're putting in the structure of the fringe first or the bang, whatever you wanna call it. So I'm gonna work. A little concealer. Love when parents come in and they're like, I want my son's bangs to be straight. I like when people come in and say, I can't afford Botox, I need bangs. It's a lot cheaper, right? So we're gonna work this up. We are keeping a heavy point on the front bang area. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna over direct everything to the center. So what's that gonna do for me? Anybody got a? I know. What? It's gonna give you that little rainbow shape. The rainbow, yeah, there you are. It's a great description, Brian. Your happy arch. It's the rainbow shape. Well, did you not get the exact picture in your head? I did, I got it. There you go. You're welcome. So what that's doing as I over direct it is shifting that weight towards the temple area, giving a kind of a rounded feel to the fringe. And then I'm gonna do the same thing on the opposite side. Let me do a little shift here. Bringing everything into that center, using my guideline. All right, so now we can see the rainbow connection. The rainbow connection there. So it's longer on the sides, gets shorter in the center, kind of gives that U shape or the rainbow shape. Notice how he said, you looked at me and said, or the rainbow shape. What are you trying to say, Matt? You called it. All right, so now take out the disconnections and then you'll see how this haircut comes together and all the long pieces fall out. Now if this were curly hair, I would probably go in and cut that base a little bit shorter. If I can go down. Heck yeah. So you can see the layering in there. It's really fun. We blow dry, we smooth it. Ta-da. And now we have. Look at what blowing dry did. I know, it's amazing. Look at that color. All right, so here is a couple adjustments that I made as soon as I blew it dry. I went through and I cut into the fringe. So what we did was I took horizontal sections across the top. So basically the way that I look at it, if I saw, I saw a little bit of a heaviness because of the layering that I was holding, right? So that top point, the top edge of the fringe is gonna lay heavier. So you're gonna see this kind of crease or weight line that comes across. So what I did was I took the hair horizontally, lifted up that bit. I looked at what I had underneath. I hold the hair up, just like that. I'm gonna shift the head, gonna shift this up. All right, so I lift the hair and then I go through and I just point cut along the edges. And then as I do that, it starts to soften the look of the fringe. So really, any time that you cut a fringe and you feel like it's a little bit heavy or you're trying to take weight out, you wanna create peaceiness in the fringe area, you just go through, you can pull it up horizontally across and just point cut into it and soften it. Somebody just asked, since this haircut may not be requested by a client, how would you approach suggesting it? I honestly, I don't think that this is necessarily something you're gonna fully do on a client. The reason I'm showing you this technique is because this connection, it can be a big part of your salon day. I don't know if this technique is necessarily always gonna be something that you would use, right? So if you wanna give this to a client, I would say find somebody that wants this type of hair color or this type of cut, but this isn't gonna be something that somebody's gonna wear all the time. You definitely need to smooth it out. You need to style it a certain way. So what I would say when suggesting things to a guest, if you have a guest that has weaker points in their haircut and you're trying to add extra weight to it, you can create a disconnection within that area so you don't have to layer it. I think it's, hair cutting is all about what you leave on the head, not necessarily what you're cutting off, right? So we're constantly going in, constantly trying to chop away at a haircut to carve something into it. When technically, if we wanna create a little bit of extra volume, we can go in, create those short layers within the haircut and then leave the length on the bottom. Or I've had guests that are a little bit older, maybe in their, let's say, early 50s, late 50s that can't wear a haircut like this, but they have a lot of hair and they don't wanna deal with it every day. We'll go in and I'll totally take out the whole mid-part of their haircut and I'll disconnect the top. I'll let the top fall over long and I'll let the bottom be long. So that way, we're taking out, removing weight from the interior and then allowing them to still have long hair that they can pull back in a ponytail, still work with on a daily basis. So, disconnections are a big part of hair cutting and I think a lot of people associate disconnection with a hair show look. But what I'm trying to kinda show you guys today is that you can, I mean, this is fun. This is definitely a haircut that I knew, like if I put a picture up, it's gonna get people's attention to come in. So that's, you know, this is a fun kind of hair show haircut, but you can transfer every single one of these techniques into your everyday hair cutting. Yep. Oh, somebody asked, they have, I have your app on my old phone, but I can't find it in the App Store now. Yeah, it's not on the App Store anymore. So that's why. Yeah. Not actually sure why. It's one of those things where when you first start doing things, sometimes you rely on other companies to make things and they made the app, it was cool. It still works if you have it, but if you don't have it, you can't get it anymore. So, it's kind of. It's like quite funny. Yeah. And then somebody, our girl Unicorn, no, it's Uni Walker, asked a question that's good for Thad to answer actually. She's saying, she's an apprentice assistant starting to transition to more days behind the chair with clients. Very vigilant on body position and working in the most comfortable manner, but standing on day still takes its toll. Any suggestions on stretches, exercise, blah, blah, blah, we all do different stuff. Yoga and hot baths and red wine for me. I like to use the kind chair a lot actually. So I know it's not answering the question about stretches. I don't necessarily have the stretch. I was suggesting you to talk about the chiropractor that you now go to three times a week. I got one, once a week. That's like, I love the cutting stool, but I do go to a chiropractor all the time. The cutting stool's fantastic. Well, I've always had like stuff going on in my back. Right, yeah, yeah, I know. That's helping as well as it's more so for like longevity. But yeah, I go to a chiropractor. This is great. I feel like I just like sat for like an hour of massage and I was only there for five minutes, so. It's nice. I just go to the gym five days a week that works out for me. I'm gonna do that too. Yeah, but I feel that that leaves me sore so that doesn't really help with. But it's not like, it's not a wrong body position sore. Like she might be feeling it's a, I just picked everything up, you know, X amount of time of sore. Yeah. I feel like if you go do that or if you get like the foam roller that you have. Yeah, the foam roller is great. That's great for any kind of like shoulder issues or back issues you might have. Do you call it Justin? A fun one. Hey, thanks, Christine and Matt, for my birthday monsters. Welcome. Right there. All right, so you need to go over anything else? So last little bit that I did just, and then we can, that'll be the end of this cut is I went through the fringe or bang area and just add a little bit of point cutting into it because depending on how you hold the hair out, you may have a really soft front. So if you want to add a little bit of shape to that, you can go in and kind of draw your line here. And then the last thing I did was I went through and I, so I take my scissor. You guys may have seen this if you haven't seen it before. Let me turn. Do it. Do this a little bit. So used to, oops, that doesn't work. Oh, what happened? That camera's done. Well, guess we'll just use the other one. It's us. There it is, she's back. All right, so what I did was I went through, totally gonna turn this, perfect. All right, and I grabbed vertical section, overdirect everything straight towards me. I take my scissor, I put my thumb through the other direction, and then I work the scissor back. So I take my thumb out, put it in the other direction, flip the scissor around, and then I just work by slide cutting in. And the reason I like doing that technique is because this is a little bit more uncomfortable. So this is pretty easy body position. And I just softened the edge of the haircut here. And I did the same thing on the other side. So vertical section, bring the hair out, take the scissor, flip it, and work just from that edge of the eyebrow down, just to soften the haircut in there. So that opened up the face just a little bit and brought it back. To finish the haircut. I also feel like that technique also makes you feel like a little bit. Cooler. Cooler, definitely. But work that angle a little bit more gentle. Like you're a little bit more conscious about what you're doing. Just be careful because you'll give them a mullet if you go too hard. Well, I'll kind of give them the mullet anyways. Oh yeah. So adding a little bit of, I'm really like loving cream texturizing paste on longer hair right now. And I know that kind of, some people that freaks out like Brian's face, but I like- No, it's just the phrasing. I love this stuff. I like, this is carved from Baccato, but I like adding a little bit of this cream paste to the ends coming through. And then just to mess up and add that texture in. Instead of using like a spray right now, I really like the way that the cream feels in the hair. And this really brings my David Bowie labyrinth cut. Since I did mention earlier. Matt Bacc. Yeah. Are you gonna recommend this to someone with a lot of wavy, frizzy, thick hair? No. I didn't think so. So I wouldn't recommend this to somebody with really thick, frizzy, curly, crazy hair because the short layers are gonna shoot straight out. Well it's just such a big difference in the mannequin. Like this one's all blown out and flat ironed and that one's airing dry with a normal texture. Yeah. It just looks a little bit disheveled. Alabama. It's a little, there's probably people from Alabama. I can say that. I'm from there. Oh, is that how it works? That's how it works. That's how it works. This is like- It reminds me of what's your name? Steven Tyler. Connor from the first Terminator movie. Yes. There you go. And that's just a slight texture. So yeah, if they're like super frizzy and super wavy then they're just gonna have to put so much work into it to make it look. Cause the point of this, like you were saying at the beginning is to do a hardcore disconnection but still have it seamlessly run together. Yeah. And if it's just over texture- Chris, you wanna go that closer? Get in there. You can see how that layering, it's seamless. I mean, you can obviously see the pieces but there's nothing heavy or lines and that's because of the elevation that we were working with throughout the haircut. So this is actually a really fun haircut. I kinda hope that- Matt, somebody asked how you would style those bangs like in the real world? In the real world? Cause it's just like super long. Yeah. Again, this is like a more fun haircut. In the real world, I would cut them a little, they would be a little bit shorter. But I would still use the same technique. I would still, but I would cut into them more so that they were softer and peaceier. And, you know, then you could kind of separate them. You'll need to see when you look awesome. Yeah, pretty much. It's the same feeling of anybody that wears kind of a heavier front fringe. It's gonna be broken up and you know, if they're having a really hard time and they can move it up like the 80s and, but yeah. So I would just separate it, use a little bit of that cream paste or maybe a spray wax type product just to separate that fringe. But you can see she has eyes. Yeah. She can see. They're coming through. She reminds me about Cheetara. Oh my God, I love Cheetara. You could also go in with your like a Mizutani puffin, like a dry cutting scissor and grab some of these pieces and work that tease cutting technique just to break them up a little bit more if you wanted to have a chop your front on your bang. Heck yeah. Any other. Yay. I think we're pretty solid on questions. Yeah. I mean, we got through a ton from social media of them. We got some great questions in the chat room. Okay. Christina, would you mind grabbing that pink box from the color bar? It's on the other side. And if you guys have any, it's popped in.
