 What I want to do is show you guys how to kind of get that gravity point of the haircut to the center. You want to find kind of where you want this triangular shape to sit. So what I'll do, I'll kind of comb the hair forward and then I'll take a look in the mirror and see exactly where I want that weight to start being removed and where I want it to build up to. So now, what I'll do is I'll separate the front and the back. So right here, down to the ear, that's separated, and then I'm going to go right here in the front and I'm going to decide where do I want to bring that taper up to. What I'm going to do about right here, I'm going to comb this hair over, port it, and then I'll slide a clip up on the other side. Now I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. Alright, and I'm not worried about the back so much right now, behind the ear, kind of follow the hairline up, that's about it. Now I'm going to blow dry underneath here. I'm going to keep this wet on top so I'm going to be cutting that in my hands. Now as I go in and clipper, I'm just going to pull away right around the ear. So I'm not going to take this all the way up. I'm not trying to go that tight all the way through this haircut, just around this edge. I'm going to start off right here and then just flip my wrist out. I'm going to get up to that line, so in and out, and then we'll continue into the back. And basically what I want to do is I'm putting this weight line here, back into the back in that occipital bone area, so I'll flip out right when I get to that point. First off, I use a wider tooth comb to do my scissor over comb. As I work up the head, I'm going to start here, start removing some of this bulk, and then I'll go back through and fine tune it a little bit more. I actually want to bring this weight line as close to the head as possible so then I can start my triangular field. So going nice and close to the head so you can kind of see how that's starting to blend up. The key thing with scissor over comb is to really just keep the one blade up against the bone of the comb. Just like that and then you close down and you work up the section, the hair gets fed into the comb and then you cut down on the head. You don't want to be chomping at it like this because then you'll start pushing hair or cutting hair weird. This keeps it more mechanical. I'm going to let this top out, not because I'm going to start cutting it right away, but kind of want to see how it's all falling together. What I'm going to do to cut this faux-hawk is I'm going to start by creating a guide right here going short to long and I'm going to start bringing everything over to that point. I'm going to travel a little bit towards the beginning and when I get about midway between center back and behind the ear, I'm going to stop and I'm going to start over-directing to the center because I want to start building up weight in the background. Now a key move would be to start point cutting from that short point to the long. This new section is going to go halfway through the previous. Now we're halfway there so all these new sections until I get to center back. Now that pushes some of the weight here to the bottom of the long hair. I'm going to do the same thing on this side then I'm going to blend that. Now the very center of this section is the longest point. When you look at it, it can start to give us this kind of mohawk feel in the back from a short to long point. I comb it down. I've got a nice blend on both sides, rounded feel to it. But I can just take this little point and cut in just to blend it a little bit more so it's not disconnected. Now we're going to go into the front. How do we get this triangular shape on the top? I'm going to take center parting like this and we're going to start by cutting the right side. Our guide is going to come from this back point we cut prior. So that becomes section one. This is all of our sections. What I do is I cut one and that's now my gut. Then once you cut one and you grab section two, you pull section two back to one and a half. If I pulled section two all the way back to one and cut it, now section two is a lot longer than section one. Then I pull three back to two and it's even longer than two. Then all of a sudden you end up with a line that quickly goes like this. Your lengths start shorter and they quickly get longer. The way that we're trying to do this is because I bring it back, you're going to get more of a line that looks like this. Still a triangular line still has kind of an upward effect to it, but it's not like this. Which is too much length if you start over directing too. I'm going to cut short to long. Longest part being in this section. Now the cool thing about a faux hawk is it doesn't need to be super long. Now I'm going to bring this section halfway back to the guide. Continue doing that. Take a new section. I'm going to halfway back to the guide. Now all this came back to the previous guys, but here's the thing. It came back to the previous but once you get to the front of the head, the head starts to curve away. So the over direction becomes more extreme even though you're not really doing it. That's why I don't like to start over directing back too quickly. So you can see my smooth transition through. Now we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side. You would imagine the longest point is in the very front. I'm going to blow this dry. This is long. It's longer than I want it to be. I want to go through and I want to cut the top here and I want to take quite a bit of weight or length out of the top. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to blow it dry real quick, get it nice and smoothed out, and then that will allow me to really see the overall shape as well. Now that I have my overall shape, I don't really have to be so perfect in everything that I do. I can literally lift this hair up. You can see the point right there in that point. I'm going to point cut into it. Don't make that point go away. Just point cut into it to soften it. You can also remove a little bit of that length. Same thing on the opposite side. Just put one up some of this hair. So like create this pretty blunt line using more precision cutting techniques. All I want to do is just take the edge of that blunt line and soften it. If I were to point cut a wet line, it would be chunky. If I just want to soften a line, I do it dry because the hair becomes more separate. Alright, so now what do we do with this front length? What I like to do is just kind of mess around with the hair, move it together in my hands, and if it will actually like stay up with just a little twist of the hair, then I know it's at a pretty good length. That's if they want to wear it up. So I'll hold this hair up. I'm going to go off to one side and I'm actually going to remove some length from this so I'll shift my scissor over just a little bit. Like this. Cut up through. Now that we've got everything laying flat from your head, I'm going to come in here. I'm just going to slide and cut. So I've got tri-razor, right? Tri-razor has three different cutting sides. What I want to do is I want to create a little extra top of texture in this cut. So I like to take diagonal partings, stick the Velcro clip in the hair like this, see how well it holds the hair back, and then I can take my Texture 25 side of the tri-razor and hold the hair in my hand and I'll just take that Texture 25 side and work it through either mid-shaft or towards the base, depending on how thick their hair is. Slide it down and you remove 25% of the hair. And I'll do this all over my guy's hair. This creates all of that like kind of jagged, up and down movement throughout the haircut. And I love doing that on this edge of a triangular haircut because it just skims it up even more. And then I'll take a little bit of product, fingertip fold together in my hands. And then what I like to do is start with my fingertips and kind of work the product in the hair. If you go right in with your hands all in the hair, you're going to get too much product in one spot.
