 All right guys so I'm back with the vlog sorry about the three-day kind of hiatus no videos came out but I was in meetings for a few days nothing interesting to show you guys but couldn't make a video so we're back at it really excited about this vlog because of the fact that a lot of people asked for pixie cuts and I always do the one with the long top and it kind of flops over very disconnected but really when I started learning hair that was not a pixie cut so today what I wanted to do is show you guys a really short women's cut go at it with a ton of different techniques using a clipper scissor, trimmers, what else do we use texture scissors yeah right I know look next time next time all right cool all right so we used scissors, trimmers, texture scissors, scissor over comb, clipper, attachments, we used everything to create this look so I want to show you guys the end result here it is it's a little bit flatter it's been in the sun let me spice her up a little bit but it's just kind of a messier but short haircut look that's what a pixie cut is to me and I think you guys are gonna like this so I hope you do let me know in the comments below hit the like button share this video with all of your friends and enjoy the video guys here we go with our step-by-step alright guys so sectioning for this cut is pretty simple just taking out the Mohawk section and then drawing a line down the division point of the head so to right above the ear it's really just separating the front and the back then I go through and I blow dry working back and forth with the comb almost doing pretty much a flat wrap blow dry to smooth the back of the hair and then I'm gonna go through with my clipper this is the Andes Supra ZR that I've done a review on so if you guys want to check that out you can see that in a past video but I'm using a number four attachment on that clipper and the triple zero blade on the clipper as well I'm just going through scooping the hair out so I'm starting close to the scalp and then working my way out as I get past the occipital bone just to build up a little bit of weight in the crown area and this is really just removing the bulk and what I want you guys to know about this haircut and the technique that we're doing today is we're going to use multiple tools to create our end result I think that a lot of people and I've talked about this before but a lot of people get caught up in the fact that if they started haircut with scissors they have to finish it with scissors I believe that you have multiple tools for a reason so the clipper goes through and it takes out the bulk very quickly and then I go through with with my scissor over comb not to make it more perfect what I do with my scissor over comb is it gives it a little more of a natural feel where a clipper gives it more of a machine feel all right so working the scissor over comb all the way up keeping that weight in the crown that's a big key area to this haircut making sure that you keep the head shape nice and balanced so now I'm gonna go through and I'm gonna wet the sides down and I'm gonna work vertically out so this is where I want to bring in the head shapes so you guys can see the head sheets I guess I should say and I'm working vertically straight out from the head what that's gonna do is give me a little bit of weight towards the bridal ridge so you can see where that the elevation is lower towards the bridal ridge and it's pretty much at straight out 90 degrees throughout the rest of the section I'm holding in my hand everything's going to the previous so this is a traveling guide I'm not trying to build up too much extra weight in the front of the head if you wanted to you could you just need to understand why that's happening so over directing everything straight out back to the previous section it's growing a little bit of weight but not too much and then the very front everything comes straight out to me which will give me a little extra weight which I'll deal with in the dry portion of the cut so this is where I cut it wet now I'm gonna blow it dry and I'm gonna do more detail work so I'm taking it one section at a time and pretty much finishing those sections we're gonna use the tip of our scissor to work around the ear if this was a real human I would probably fold the ear down with my finger and cut around it but I'm working that steady blade around the ear and around the hairline so now we're working our way up the hairline and removing that weight that we pushed forward so like I've said in many videos in the past that sometimes I push weight forward to give me that solid line in the front now if you don't like that solid line you can always go in and just cut more of a PC hairline if you like that look better I like the solid line right now I like having that solid shape with the messy texture on top so that's what we're going for today so going through same thing so most of the weight is sitting up at the parietal ridge everything's coming straight out and slightly back to the previous section and I'm just scooping the hair so you'll notice that I always want to be combing the hair the same this is one of the biggest mistakes that you'll see people making in haircutting is that their combing isn't consistent I combed the hair away from the face on the other side so now on this side I'm combing the hair away from the face as well I want to keep that consistency throughout the haircut so just over directing it back that's going to push a slight bit of weight towards the front that you can see there now I blow it dry and then I'll go through and do my dry detail work keeping consistency within my haircut to get the best result so just using that tip of that scissor drawing whatever line I want so if they want to leave a little bit of length around the ear you can do that that's what's great about over direction and elevation and all that stuff you're putting weight where you want it and then you can remove it later so going through taking out that hairline drawing that nice solid line in there now we talked about using multiple tools this is why now I'm going to go in with my trimmer so I got the line that I wanted now I'm just detailing it even more a trimmer is just like using a scissor it's just a clipper has multiple blades on it as opposed to a scissor which is one blade so you're going to get a more solid line if that's the effect you're looking for then you go in with the trimmer if you like the way that the scissor looks then stick with that now I'm just dusting around the edges you'll see kind of how that smooths out the edges of the haircut this is just another detail at technique that I like to do with the trimmer on my shorter haircuts men's cuts short women's cuts it works really well to kind of define it you look at how how we cut hair we usually lift it up to create a shape well naturally the hair is going to lay down when you have that shape so if you run the clipper over top of it you're actually kind of etching in that shape even more so just a cool technique to try out now I'm going to go through I'm going to work the round of the head working from short to longer in more of a triangle fashion so you can see why don't you look at the either the bottom left-hand corner diagram or the top right-hand corner which is going to show you that we're cutting our guide from the side point that we had before and just going through but I'm using a point cutting technique now because I want to have a little more versatility a little more texture in the top this is my DB 20 scissor before just so you guys so I give you a tool breakdown we used the blacksmith fit six and a half inch scissor for our scissor over comb this is the DB 20 Mizetani scissor it's a 5.7 inch this is my go-to scissor gives for precision cutting or wet cutting pretty much in the salon so going through doing the point cutting not over directing anything too far back the only thing I really overdirect back is the very front portion I know I'm wearing black I know she has black hair it's just kind of how this video worked out so if you're having trouble figuring out the angle look at the diagrams that we have so just now I also talked about consistent combing you'll notice that I'm combing the hair back towards me the entire time so just make sure that anytime you're cutting hair you're consistently combing because if I were to comb one side back towards me the other side forward I'm gonna get different lengths within the haircut so just going through over directing it back to the previous so it's a traveling guide and then at the very end I just over direct it a little bit more back just to push a little extra weight to the front because I want to cut into the front in a different way so that will make sense in a couple seconds there's that lone piece of hair again so we go through finish up the point cut right in the front of the head it's not looking like much now but I'm gonna go through and I'm gonna blow dry it this is the 338 ys part comb and just so you guys remember all of these tools are available on freesaloneducation.com so if you're looking to upgrade your tools we have everything that I'm using alright so I take the DB 20 scissor and I just do a little bit of slide cutting into the bang area just to add a little bit of separation and take the length a little bit shorter so just deciding how much texture I want to put into the front of the haircut now we're gonna take our Mizutani type Z dual scissor and just slide through the top working at a diagonal a lot of people do this with a scissor but I just find doing it with a texture scissor is a little bit has a little bit more safety to it and also just removes the bulk that you're looking for not really cutting too many lines in the haircut so that's pretty much the end of the cut what I'm gonna do is go through with the blow dryer just to add a little bit of volume to it and I go in with brocado carve and add the texture it's really just like a cream wax that I use on a lot of shorter haircuts so I'm going through just piecing that out with my fingers and that is the end result of the haircut hope you guys enjoy this haircut definitely let me know in the comments below thanks alright guys it feels good to be back making
