 Hey guys Matt Beck from free salon education comm I'm gonna show you guys how to get a straighter line on top of your fingers when You're cutting so we're gonna start off We're gonna cut a side fringe because it's just easy to do as I show you this we might as well do something productive Right, so I'm gonna hold the hair up in the air here And I'm gonna be working on top of my fingers now a lot of people will come in here and just start cutting across Just like this to get that line right so what we want to do To be more professional and to get a better result and not cut ourselves as much is I'm going to slide This steady blade across the top of my finger So that steady blade is staying on my finger and the the blade that moves is coming across and making the cut So that way no matter what as I'm working across the top of my finger I Get a more consistent result because my scissors not bouncing around and You get a straighter line because if you think about it if I go to cut the hair Let me grab a bunch of hair real quick if I go to cut the hair Just like this and let's say I got all this flimsy hair up here And I go to cut it as I'm cutting it especially if you don't have a sharp scissor It's the hair is going to push and the hair is going to push because of the fact that it's flimsy up there So as soon as that scissor starts to touch it pushes the hair away The reason I'm going to get a straighter cut doing it up against my fingers is because that hair has nowhere to go So because it has nowhere to go I get a more flush cut against my hand So definitely make sure that you work on again. You don't have to have a head to work on this You don't have to do it in the salon with your guests take time do it at home But work right across your fingers and just practice if you cut yourself It's not my fault But you need to make sure that you're practicing this at home and just work that blade Straight across hopefully you guys can see it just like this work that blade the moving blade goes across the steady blade slides across your pointer finger and You cut again, you're going to get a more successful result You're going to get straighter lines and all of that So make sure that you check us out right here free salon education calm on YouTube subscribe We got videos coming out Monday through Friday every day of the week more tips just like this So share it with your friends and we'll see you guys on the next video.
