 You guys kind of know the drill, type OG in the chat. Also, you guys play a big role in making sure that we grow this room as big as possible. So just share the video if you can, share the links in the comments for anything that I'm talking about. You guys know what it is, the tools, everything that we're using. Also, I'm live on Minerva Beauty's Facebook, the Freeslawn Education Facebook, and also our YouTube channel. So I'm super excited to be on all of those platforms. And yeah, that's it. So let's get in here, get involved, start chatting, guys. Let me turn the music down a little bit. So before we start the class today, I wanna say hello to everybody. So hi, Juju, what's up? Good to see you in the chat. Now, we're gonna do a short haircut today. I'm gonna walk you through it step by step, show you guys how to do it. But the other thing is I'm giving away my pair of Mizutani DB20 scissors. It's a $950 scissor. My son shaved his head yesterday. So thanks to all of you guys that were a part of that yesterday, he shaved his head. He was able to raise about $6,000. We did that over the last couple of weeks for childhood cancer research. So he shaved his head and I'm giving away one of my prize possessions, which is my DB20 scissor, which is right here. So I'm gonna clean it up for you guys. Maybe I'll do one last haircut with it today. It's including a free sharpening. So yeah, maybe I'll do this haircut today with this scissor just as a final farewell. And then you guys, I'm gonna send it to one of you guys. So I'm gonna draw the name now so you'll know who it is. Let's see. But let me just say hi to you guys for a second as well. Let me pop here. Who we got in the chat today? Karen, good to see you. I got your name in the drawing today. First class I'm actually able to be here for. Billy, that's awesome. Thank you. Welcome, welcome. Let's see. All right guys, we're getting people logged in here. Awesome, very cool. All right, so let's do the drawing. Let me go here, that, go back. All right, learning new things. Awesome, very cool. All right guys, so here we go. I got a whole, my backup hat, a backup hat full of names here. So all of you guys that donated $10 or more, your name went in here. And now we're gonna draw the winner. Now I'm not gonna cheat, I'm not gonna cheat. I'm going to hold it up over my head and I'm gonna pick. Let's see where we're at here. Just look like I looked. So I'm gonna mess it around some more. Hello, hello, hello everyone. All right, ready? The winner of the scissor. This one jumped into my fingers. Steffi does hair. Steffi does hair. Difficult. Nope, it's not gonna focus, not gonna focus. Oh well, Steffi does hair. Congratulations, Steffi. I will be contacting you on Instagram today. You won the DB20 scissor. Thank you to everybody out there that did help and donate to the cause all of your money, even though you didn't win the scissor, only one person can. Actually, I gotta choose a tri-raiser winner as well. But all of you guys, all the money that you guys donated goes to a really, really good cause, which is 100% of it goes to childhood cancer research. So thank you guys for that. We'll do it again next year. We'll see what I give away. Maybe even my car, maybe that, I don't know. I at least thought I can't give that away. All right, so yes, congratulations. All right, so we got one more drawing, one more giveaway here. And that is for a tri-raiser, which I'm gonna be using today. I'm not gonna use your tri-raiser for this, but I'm gonna be using a tri-raiser in the cut as well as the DB20. But here is the tri-raiser available on Freeslaw and Education. They're $44.95. If you wanna buy one, go to ShopFSE. But if you donated, you have a chance to win. So prize number two, maybe I'll give away some more stuff today too. We'll see, see how I'm feeling. Feeling in the giveaway spirit today. All right, this one jumped into my hand, Jess Mack. So I don't know if she's on here right now, but Jess, congratulations. I just picked the most expensive place to ship a tri-raiser to, which is Australia. Yay. So congratulations, Jess. Thank you so much for your donations. Actually fun little story, Jess's son. He actually went out to do some work. Her little son to raise money for, to donate to my son's charity and head shaving and all that. So super cool. Congrats, Jess. You got a backup tri-raiser for you. Give one to a friend if you want or just keep it for yourself. Thank you so much. All right, here we go. I'm gonna give away some more stuff throughout this to those that donated and maybe to one of you guys who are watching live. So we'll see how it goes. All right. So, let me get into this here. So we're gonna be doing a shorter haircut on the mannequin today. I wanna go kind of pixie style. I have this thought in my head of kind of a fringier, almost short mullet, but not a mullet, but like fringier around the edges. So I wanna cut that today. I've just had this thing pictured in my head. Hopefully it all works out, we'll see. But I'm super excited to just try it out with you guys, have some fun with it. We'll talk about structure. We'll talk about different things. Also, if you guys have questions, type Q in the chat. Put your question. I can see the chat all up on the board. I can see you guys going through. So there you go. So if you have questions, type Q, put in your question. Otherwise, let's get started and have some fun. All right, so let me get to the closer camera here. And then I'll put this one up. So first things first, here is the mannequin. Now she's got a little bit shorter fringe. So I gotta keep that in mind when I go into this shorter haircut with how I want the outcome to be. But we're gonna go through in section. Now I'm gonna break down the way that I wanna section this off because if I'm gonna do kind of a fringier feeling around the edges, then I may want to think about that when I'm going through my sectioning. So a couple of things. I've got, turn the head here. So first I'm gonna section off the fringe. Then I'm gonna move into sides. Fringe will also include a little bit of the top. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna draw kind of from the apex or the high point of the head. I'm gonna draw that down to the corner of the eyebrow. There we go. Nice little slight diagonal forward line. And then I'm gonna do the same thing on the opposite here. Over here, draw from the high point down to the edge of the eyebrow. So that is our fringe section. I'll comb this up in a way. And the reason I like to section off the fringe is when you look at this, you're gonna see that this is all basically sitting on the curve of the head. So on the curve, it kind of goes down. So I want to be aware of that as I'm cutting the top of the head. You can see how from the high point, it's all kind of downhill from there, right? So I'll add my clip in, keep that sectioned away. Now, both corners right at this point are both sitting more centered. So both corners are sitting right around that parietal ridge area. So that's kind of where I want it to be. So if I go from this point, there, I'm finding myself, finding myself here. There's the top view. All right, so from this top view, you've got your back crown area. So high point of the head, and then as it rolls back, you've got high crown, and then you've got mid crown, right? Kind of if you drew a circle right around this crown area, that would be the middle, right? And you've got low crown here. So what I want to do is I want to go just under mid crown or the center of the crown. So make sure you got a nice clean vertical line back, then comb the hair around the head and get it moving in the direction you want to take your parting. So I move it around the head this way. Once I get it clean, it's easy to comb through. Then I take underneath the crown and I work around the head to that point, just like that. Now I'm going to take this section here, twist it away. Twist it up nice and tight in the clip. The same thing on the opposite side. So work around the head and then draw from that mid crown around to the edge of the eyebrow. Twist it and clip it. Chris, Q, what is the crown area? So the crown area is, I mean just imagine kind of having a crown on your head. That's what I always think about. So it would be a circle area that sits back on your head. So you could kind of take it from the apex. So if I look at, see if I have a bald head, I do. It's a good lesson for all of you guys out there, especially students that are watching. Look, it's a blue day. So, pop this off. I'll go over the little head shape stuff for you guys. All right, so those of you guys out there, as we look at the head, right? So the head is a nice round surface. Once it's got hair on it, it kind of hides some of these curves and movements. So I want to show you guys and kind of break down some of the head shape. So this is how I think about it. There's definitely technical bone structure names and I use some of them. And then sometimes I get a little looser with that with calling them the names, right? So here we go. So you go here. We look at the side of the head. Now look at this round surface. So we start here. This is the nape, right in this area, right? So you've got the nape and then as you move up the head, you get to the occipital bone or occipital bone, however you want to say it. I'm sure there's a definite right way to say it. I say it occipital, but I think it's occipital. I don't know. So gets the job done. So I shouldn't be better at that, to be honest. Now that I'm thinking about it. So here it curves up, occipital bone there, then we get to low crown. So the question was what is the crown? If you look at where the crown would sit on somebody's head, this is the crown area. So this circle that sits in the back of the head. So imagine drawing this kind of crown shape. I always refer to that as the crown. So if we're at high crown, we're here. If you're in the middle of the crown, then you're obviously right where this kind of magnet is. And then if you're in the low crown, you're just above the occipital bone and in the crown area, right? So you move from the occipital bone, which is right here in the back, and then you move into this low crown area. Then behind the ear or mastoid process, I think this is called, I like to just say behind the ear. And then you've got your temple area here and then your fringe area and then you've got the high point of the head, right? So crown, high crown sits just about here in my opinion. So it's just about here. And then that little bit above it, so when you see where the comb starts to go away from the head right there, this would be where your high point is. That's the highest point of the head. So if I put the comb down here, it leaves the head there. So that kind of rocking motion will show you where that apex is. So it's important to know where the highest point is. She's from the matrix, yes. These are actually things that are feeding her brain. I've never seen the matrix, so I don't even know. All right, so that's a breakdown of the head shape. Hopefully that helps you guys as we work through it. Oh, and then the parietal ridge, which I didn't go over, but I can show you guys. So parietal ridge is basically what separates the up and down. So right here, this little ridge, this bone, kind of where we took this line from, that's the parietal ridge. You can find that by holding the comb up against and then finding where that kind of rocks back and forth as well. So there you go. There's your lesson for the day. All right, thank you, Juju. I appreciate that. I really appreciate it. It's very nice. Okay, hello, France and Anne. Hello, Anne from France. Vicki says she thinks I say occipital bone correctly. I don't think, it's too seized, so I'm imagining it's occipital, not ox, but I don't know. Everybody will say like I'm either right or wrong, but they probably just heard it from somebody too. So maybe there's like an English person, English major that could explain to me how to pronounce it. All right, so I'm gonna use the DB20 because it's just nostalgic and I wanna use it in this haircut before I send it off. To our winner. But I didn't really plan on using a scissor today. I was gonna just use the tri-razor. So I'm gonna work it in probably more towards the top, but that'll be kind of how we do that. Or maybe at the end I'll use it up. I'm definitely gonna use the tri-razor today. So what is the tri-razor? Here is the tool. I think if I hold it back here it'll probably just be better. So it's a razor tool that has three razors in one. So it's got one side that cuts 100% of the hair. It's got one side that is a texture 25, so it takes out 25% of the hair. And then you've got 50% of the hair coming out on this side. Now this is a tool that it's patent pending. We created it. There have been, I think I'm learning that there was a triangle razor 20 years ago I guess. I didn't know, but it's not the same thing. So those of you guys that see this and it's not the same thing. This we designed from nothing, from scratch. To create the three sides that cut differently. And it's just super cool. It's super fun to use. And I love hearing everybody's stories about the cuts that they're doing with it and showing me on Instagram and stuff. It's really awesome. So if you guys are looking to pick up a razor tool I love it if you go to our shopfse.com and you can pick up the razor. Anywhere in the world. Akzip Pitul. Catherine says, Akzip Pitul. If you refer back to a haircut you did in the past can I search for it on the website or app? Yes you can Karen. That's kind of the point of the app is we're trying to load all the content on there. Also make simpler versions of the content on there. Then make it searchable for you guys so that it's an easy tool that you can have in the palm of your hand. If you wanna learn a pixie cut you just type in pixie cut and it will pop up with all the pixies I've ever done. So that's kind of the goal there. All right, I know too much chatter. So just so you guys know, all these classes I'm really filming a tutorial to put back on YouTube or Facebook, a shorter version of these. This is really for me to have fun interact with you guys cut hair live, take your questions and just do that kind of thing. So if you're looking for the shorter versions of these cuts and me not talking so much the videos are great for that. All right, so here's what I'm gonna do because I really just wanna draw this shape in and I wanna have some fun kind of cutting this shorter shape into the longer kind of fringy area. So what I'm gonna do this is kind of the thought that I've been having. So let me section off the front and back as well. So that's gonna be the only other sections that I put in this. So right here, we're gonna split front and back. I wanna go right to this hairline area, just like this. There it is. And I'll clip that back in a way. Actually, let me get that tighter back. Really get it out of the way. Okay. So now what I'm gonna do is using the tri razor and using over direction, we're gonna create a really fun fringy effect. So what I wanna do is I wanna lift this hair. So I'm gonna comb it up and I wanna get it nice and tight at the occipital bone. So my finger will then be level with the occipital bone. So just like this, comb the hair up like that. Now you don't want it to be low because then you're not pushing weight and length down. I wanna make sure I elevate up. Get this hair nice and tight into my fingers. And now I can decide. Now how do I want that weight to fall? Do I want it to fall square? Do I want it to fall, comb it more like this and make it fall, push more that way, like diagonal forward or do I want it to go more diagonal back? You can really decide. I want it to go more diagonal forward. So I'm gonna comb this up in the air just like this at that occipital bone area. And then I'm gonna take my tri razor and I'm gonna cut across. I wanna go to the top angle so you guys can see this better. Comb it up. Now if I want it to go diagonal forward, I go back to this back corner here. I want it to go diagonal back and I go to this front corner here. And if I want it to be square, I go square to the parting like this, right? So I want it to go diagonal forward, push that weight towards the front of the face. So I'm combing this hair up and now I'm gonna work my tri razor across this section, this like this and create a line. So now let me show you guys what happens. Here it is. So when you comb the hair down, see how it gets fringier around the edges and it keeps that length, that's the goal. So I can always cut into that later but it gives me that kind of length to play around with within this cut. So now we're gonna do another similar thing. We're gonna do it on the other side. Same motion there. Jess, I see your message. That is very nice of you. We can do that. We can do that for sure. I already commented about how I just picked the most expensive place to send it to. That's how you know our contests aren't rigged. All right, so right here, split front and back just like that. I will clip it away and now combing this hair up to the back corner just like that. Get it nice and tight. A little fun fact for you guys that watch live, these are little nuggets of information that you would never know. See how I'm combing this up like this? It's a little filming 101. I comb this up like this. Hold it there like that. I'll even bring my razor around like I'm gonna cut it and then I'm gonna go to the other angle because when I edit the video later, I'll put those two pieces together and it'll look like it was all one take. Fun facts. All right, diagonal back to that back corner and then I work the tri-raiser across just like that. And when we comb it down, and comb it down, we get our nice, fringy, fun area. Check that out. Okay, now we're gonna take a triangle section out of the back. So right here, and there's a reason for this triangle section, but I'll explain in a minute. So you're kinda just taking some of that crown out. So from basically this point here, I'm gonna come down that. I'm gonna do the same thing on the opposite side. Connect those two together here just like that. Now I'll check my triangle, make sure it's good enough. Looks good enough. So where are you guys watching from? Why don't you let me know in the chat. Can we do the same cut by using a scissor? For sure, yeah. So I love the look of a razor because it's just so soft, the lines. You get a little bit more of a blunt line with a scissor, but you could point cut, so that would kinda take away some of that. But you could definitely condense cut with a scissor. Depends on the hair texture too, or the hair density. So if it's super thick, you might not want to go in and like, you might wanna use a razor just because it'll help you out. OG from, oh, Adele, what's up, Adele? Rhonda, good to see you, Lexington, Kentucky. Awesome. Maryville, Tennessee, Karen Gibson. Good to see you, Karen. Janice Vicky from the UK. Amanda, Louisiana. Jessica, New Orleans. Rhythm from India. Adrian, Iowa. I went to beauty school in Iowa, Adrian. What part of Iowa are you in? All right. Brownsville, Texas. Johannesburg, South Africa. South Africa's on my list of places I would like to go. Did anybody else, during this whole like quarantine, I mean, I'm sure everybody, it's kind of a stupid question, but think as soon as they release us from being all, what's it called? I should show you guys what I just did. That would be nice. One sec, let me do it again. When they release us from this whole quarantine, COVID stuff, like, is everybody just going on as many vacations as possible? Like, they never know when they might get locked down again? That's kind of where I'm at. As soon as they release us, I might quit working. Just forever. Just stop. And just go live on an island or something. All right. I forgot, my tires are just in my pocket. All right, so now I'm gonna do a very similar technique that I did in the front. So, pretty cool because this is basically making pixie cutting very simple. And that's kind of what I'm all about, is figuring out ways to simplify and speed up the haircutting process so that we get better results in faster time. Hair dressers can make more money. That's the deal. So, what I'm gonna do is now I wanna go parallel to the parting. So, I'm gonna comb all this hair up, and you might even break it up into a couple sections so I could start here. I'm gonna go parallel to this parting and keep the elevation right about at the parting, right? So, let me pop over here. Yep, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna elevate this entire section, and then your guideline comes from what you previously cut. And the tires are just in my pocket, so just like this. Just make sure you get the root nice and tight, carve across, and when I comb it down, I'll show you guys the whole thing, but actually, I'll cut that one. In front of you, I might get in the way a little bit, but that's okay. There we go, right above that parting. Now, what I want you guys to think about while you're watching me do this is over direction and how much of a role it's playing. It's playing the entire role of how this haircut's forming, right? So, am I gonna leave this tail? No, I'm not going to fully, but if you wanted to, if you were Miley Cyrus, you might. I'm not gonna leave it, but that gives me a ton of hair to play with in the end result. So imagine now, if I come in here, and I'm gonna do this in a minute, but I come in here with the tri-raiser and I just start taking some of these pieces shorter. Now I've got this little shaggy pixie with a fringy edge that doesn't look moldy. It just looks more fashionable, right? So the same thing over here, keeping the hair, gotta keep it saturated, you know what I'm saying? Already digging the look of this. I'll take just a subsection of this panel. I'm not gonna take it all because it doesn't all fit in my hand. And I just comb this hair up, take a little guide from the previously cut section and get this section comb nice and tight at the base and elevated to the parting of our triangle up here. So right there, my guide is right there. See, super cool. Rhythm, you gotta order one, it's the best. This is my favorite tool ever to cut hair with. You just have so many options with it and it's like small, you can just throw it in your pocket. Cut people's hair wherever you're at. If I move to an island after COVID, if they release me and I move to an island, what's the one thing I'll bring? This. This tool. All right, that looks super cool already and honestly, you could leave it like that but I'll go into it, cut into it a little bit more. Again guys, if you wanna get a tri-raiser, maybe I'll give one away, so stay tuned, stay with me here. But 44.95 has three blades inside, comes with three blades and a pack of five blades in a nice little box like this. We spent lots of time making the box look super cool. So you get the five pack of blades plus a tri-raiser with three blades and then you can order extra blades from our website as well. Okay, so now, what do we do with this triangle section in the back? Good question, it's getting... Shipping charges are gonna make me cry. I know, sometimes it's hard depending on where you live, South Africa, probably some unfortunate shipping charges in that. Here's the other thing though, if you're able to get the feather blades, blades that look like this, and we didn't invent the blades, so, but I mean, we obviously package them for ourselves but if you're able to get these blades, you'd only have that shipping charge one time. So it wouldn't be as bad, you just gotta pay for it once. But then you can get yourself a tri-raiser. All right, so what do we do with this triangle section in the crown? So you can either cut it with scissors now at this point, if you want to go a little more precise or if you wanted to kind of just carve into it what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna start bringing some of this hair over to me and just drawing these lines that I want. So kind of working through it, looking underneath, because remember I've got a guideline that kind of comes through. So I'm gonna bring the hair over and just start etching away at a line, creating a nice soft line for myself. Just like that, you know, and just keep working through it, cutting really along the surface to create a nice little soft shape. That's the beauty to me of a razor is being able to just kind of have this tool in my hand over-direct the hair where I think it needs to be and then just creating those softer lines within the haircut. Shoulda had a fidget spinner in the middle. You know what's funny? So thought about it, because obviously you spin it in your hand, but it just seemed to cheapen the look of the tool. So for me, still wanted it to look nice. Wanted it to be, you know, more classy looking. But I totally agree, Catherine, it would've been cool to have a fidget, a little more fidget spinner-ish look in there. So what is over-directing the hair one way and then over-directing it the other way and cutting it? What is that doing for me? It's pushing the weight into the center back of the cut. So longest point's gonna be here. I kind of want that for now so I can play around with it and decide how I want that to finish up. And again, so as I look at some of these little hairs, I can decide, this is a slight disconnect underneath here as we cut the underneath a little shorter. So definitely a cool little look for it. I'm just reading some of your comments. I'd love to experiment with the tri-raiser as shears could be a challenge to handle. Yeah, I mean, you gotta learn both, but I get what you're saying. The tri-raiser's such a cool, I think you need both. I mean, you definitely need both, 100% need both. I always trip. But just the freedom and the creativity of using a razor is for me just a really kind of fun to do. All right, so now we just gotta figure out what we wanna do with these top sections here. Look at that shape though, it's super cool. This is that kind of more lived-in disconnect in this back area. Really dig that and then these longer lengths throughout it. All right, so let's see, what do I wanna do here? Maybe I'll make like a convertible kind of top a little bit longer top to go on this. Like that might be cool. All right, let's do that. So back out a little bit. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this section here and I'm gonna pull it over here and cut it. And then that's going to release weight over this and then I'm gonna go cut it into it this way as well. I just feel like that for me is actually changing my mind. So I'm gonna let down these two sections. So one section here is the beauty of having a mind as you can change it. That's a T-shirt right there. It's a T-shirt saying. Anybody ever heard that saying before? Not sure. The beauty of having a mind is you can change it. Hmm, thought of the day. All right, so I comb these sections down. Jess says I think you should leave some of the bottom bits choppy. I agree. How do you see which side is which on the tri-raiser? So, I don't know if you mean which side takes out the certain amount of hair but on all sides it tells you there's writing. It says texture 25, texture 50 and then cutting 100, means 100% of the hair, 50% of the hair, 25% of the hair. I'm glad you love this look. Did that, Tiffany said that. Thanks Tiffany, I appreciate that because I wanted to get a little creative and just kind of create something in front of you guys today. So that's what we're doing. Having some fun. There's no thought besides inside my brain prior to this. Just wanted to get in there and create. So now, again, elevation up just a little bit. Here, I'm gonna bring this hair out. I've got my guide still from underneath and now the heavier back and forth motion you make with the razor, the lighter the line is gonna be. So I bring this hair out and I just continue cutting through it, creating a soft line. I'm gonna bring some of this hair back because I'm gonna start pushing some of that weight to the front and I'll cut into that more. Thanks Diana, appreciate that. Watching from Guayano, South Africa or South America, nice. Diana, I can't read, this is my first time. All right, thank you for joining. All right, so elevation is key. I'm just gonna work that short to long line throughout. Bring this hair back to me as well. Yeah, I'm really digging like that shaggier short hair falling over top, it's pretty fun. Now we've got our fringe area, drop that out. And this is where I wanna kind of cut more of a, not like I guess curtain type fringe so that it just lies right on the side here. So it kind of opens up the face a little bit. So curtain fringe, one of the easiest things to cut with a tri-raiser. So I'll show you guys how to do that. So I take this whole triangle section and I'm gonna do this bit by bit. Sometimes I'll hold it all in my hand, just cut it but I really want this to be a little more organic feeling. So I feel like almost every hair is important in this. So I'm gonna part this down the center and separate the two sides. And now I cut the other parts of the top, the other sections from the top. I cut those more triangular because I brought them back and pushed weight to the front. Now what I wanna do with the front pieces here, I want them to fall more with the hairline, with the shape of the head. So I'm gonna cut them more in front of the face so that they flow backwards. So, and I'm gonna do that kind of piece by piece. So here, I start combing it down. See what it looks like flat because a little bit of wave in the hair can kind of lie to you a bit. Write this down a little bit, nice and saturated. Okay, now take a little diagonal parting. And what I'm gonna do is I wanna hold it kind of where it's going to fall. So when you cut with a scissor, a lot of times you have to over direct hair so that you get all these little hairs to go and cut it and then fall kind of short to long. When I cut with a razor, I can do that or I can just say, you know, it's gonna kind of fall right there and then just lightly start sketching in my line and where that hair is gonna sit. So I can say, all right, that's what I wanted to do. Then I take some more hair, add it in. And I kind of hold it down. I'm not holding it very light in my fingers, not a lot of tension. And just kind of draw and slide my hand as I go and I'll start to see that shape coming out. See my original guide? And then I'm gliding this over and hitting the surface of the hair but not cutting through it. Like if I cut through it, it makes a blunt line. If I softly flow over top of the hair, it softens that line and then it's gonna allow the hair to be a little bit more moldable throughout the haircut. That makes sense. Everybody, put your hand up if it makes sense. So now here's a little bit of pieces still left from that fringe area. This is where they're gonna live. So what I'll do is I'll just come in like this and I'll just softly draw out those little pieces. Whoa! All right, start kind of looking at what that shape's gonna do. Now I can start adding a little wave to it. See how the hair's reacting. Cut into some pieces a little bit more. Oh, that was blurry that whole time, huh? Sorry about that, guys. Okay, so now I do the same thing on the opposite side. I'll let this clip down. Take the tiniest bit out. And this honestly is, I'm gonna go the other side. I'm using the 100% side of the razor right now. I'm gonna use the 50 and the 25 and a little bit as I start working through this. But I wanna have 100% control right now, so softly just using that 100%, just not pushing it 100% down. Just lightly using it to cut on the surface here. It's not as much hair to cut on this side because she already kinda had a side fringe. And just a little surface gliding over. Okay, so now we've got our overall shape. Now this isn't, it's not done at all, but it's, you know, the wet part is done. Now we're gonna go in. I'm gonna blow it dry. And then I'm going to start detailing it dry, which is gonna be the best part. So don't go anywhere. Make sure you stay tuned. All right, so we're gonna use NeuroPrime, Paul Mitchell. See in our eyes, there you go. NeuroPrime, it's a blowout primer, thermal protector. So it's a great product for protecting your hair from heat damage, but also giving yourself a little bit of hold just to start off your style. So we got that. Now, once I get that product in the hair, I'm gonna use my Ergo Diamondhead brush. Ergo brushes, in my opinion, at this moment in time, because I can't predict the future. There we go. Or my favorite brushes on the planet. So the biggest thing about this brush and why I love this one so much is that it is a mini paddle brush. So you've got a regular paddle brush, which is this big, little focus, so it's this big. And then you've got your mini. I like paddle brush the most out of all brushes for blow drying, especially like prepping or quickly trying to dry hair but have control of it. But the mini paddle brush is so much better for short hair. So when I'm working through, I'm blow drying men's hair or shorter women's haircuts, bobs, things that I want that tension, I want that round brush tension, but I don't want the size of the brush. Then that's why I go in with this guy. So these are also available on our online store. I think they're like 38 bucks a piece. Great, great brushes. Great brushes, great brushes. Thanks, Lynn, appreciate it. My favorite brush, Rhonda's saying. Very cool, I love my Ergo paddle brush. Blanca, very cool. All right, so we're all on the same page. That's right, that's why we're a fam because we all know what we like. All right, I'm gonna do a little music today. I'm feeling music for a blow dry, what do you guys think? I don't have any new songs, but I can put a song up. Let's see, here we go. A little music, music for us all. Hope you guys enjoyed the little dance party there. We're gonna back into it now. So, blew it dry, tried it very hard not to disturb what it naturally kind of wanted to do, texture wise, haircut wise. You know, I think for me it's like I could really smooth this out, but then that's not the reality of the cut and I honestly didn't really want to take away too much of the volume either. So, and we're gonna go in guys. If you're just tuning in, this is not the haircut. This is the base of the haircut. Talked about it a little bit yesterday. I think with the virtual cutting club we were talking about cutting a bob wet and just basically that that's the foundation. I always kind of relate what's happening in my life to things that I teach in hair and just hair in general because I think about hair a lot, but so there's some work being done in my house right now like some different like hard escaping work or whatever but anyways, the important part of this whole story is that it has to, it looks worse before it looks better and you put in the foundation, you put in like the everything and you start, whoa, that doesn't, but if you trust your gut, your instinct and you understand what you're doing, then it's just part of the process. So you're just kind of going through and stamping in that foundation with a purpose and then going in and finalizing and decorating it, making it fit the person after you get it dry. So that's what we're gonna do today at this point. So right now I've got a super heavy top sitting on top of a very light shape, some disconnection, also some long, fringy pieces on the sides. So that we've got to kind of adjust. So, but the overall shape, the movement is exactly where I want it to be. So that's kind of the important part. Cut into that in a sec, see the rat shape. Totally moldy though, it's super cool, love it. All right, little coffee. Is this live video always this hour? Yes, for the most part, actually that's not true. This live video is I'm Live Every Tuesday at 12.30. Brian and Danielle are live every Wednesday, Thursday at 10 a.m. and then I'm also live on Mondays doing men's cutting at 12.30. So I'm live at 12.30, Monday, Tuesday, Brian and Danielle at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Thursday. Okay, DB 20, which is going to Stephie does hair so congrats, Stephie. You guys want to see how terrible my handwriting is? Stephie does hair right there. This scissor that I'm holding in my hand is going directly to them. I am, but I'm gonna do my last haircut with it. It's been a good five years. It's a $950 scissor, but all of you guys were so gracious to donate to the charity yesterday that it's going to a new home. All right, so now razor cutting. This is why I say that scissors and razors go so well together because sometimes you don't need a totally fringy haircut, right? So what I want to do is I can look at some of these lines, some of these longer pieces that I created and I can go in and now start softening this shape a little bit. So here we go, you can see that. Pull that down, now I'm gonna start cutting into it using Stephie's DV20. Some of you guys missed the drawing. We did the drawing right at the beginning, so we did it from a hat. I'm gonna do a drawing again because Jess has given up her tri-raiser and so we'll pick a different person for that because she already has one. You can see just a half close of the scissor sliding through. Stephie on here today, we've seen her. Her or him, I'm not sure. So a couple things I wanna show you guys. So I have a longer piece of hair that's part of this kind of fringe area. I don't need that long piece of hair. So it played its role kind of in what it was but I can hold it out like this and I can actually cut into it, just soften the way that it falls on the head there. On this side, do the same. Very similar thing, sliding, cutting. You could do this with the tri-raiser as well so you don't have to do it with a scissor. I just wanted to cut with this thing one last time. Make sure it works well for Steph there. Okay, so now let me cut into this fringe a little bit. I'm actually really digging this shape we have so far. And this out in front of me, cut into it. Yeah, same thing on the fringe here, just bring it out, point cut. All right, now goodbye my friend. I'm just kidding, that was super dramatic. All right, now tri-raiser. One last little kind of detail work that we're gonna start working through it. I'm also gonna use plumageal invisible wear, boomerang, restyling mist, just to mist it through the back. So, and what this is gonna do is just soften the cuticle just a tiny bit because I'm trying to create a nice soft, like a softer short haircut, not a mullet, right? So we kind of have a mullet now which some of you guys are probably like I love it and I'm the same way. But I can guarantee to you guys that the internet won't love it as much as we do. So I'm gonna go right here. I'm gonna take my Texture 50 side of the tri-raiser and the reason I like to use this, I love using this on dry hair because there's more blade exposed. So when you have more blade exposed, I can literally like use it almost like I'm using it as a dry cutting scissor, right? So I can go through here, I could pinch and cut and remove a ton of weight. I can pull the hair in my hands like this and cut but you can decide. You know, if you wanna use 100%, that's fine too. It's just turn the razor, have some fun with it. What I'll do is sometimes go in 100% through it, get that length off, then go in Texture 25 and then right where this divots in a little bit, I'll go in Texture 25 and just kinda slide through it and that'll help skinny up this little bit of the hair as well. Surface, same thing over here. Now, getting close. Lying through there, skinnying up these two corners. And now, my favorite thing to do. So these are my, I use three tools almost every haircut. I use a tri-raiser, I use a texturizing scissor and I use a blunt or wet cutting scissor. So now, I wanna soften some more. Underneath here is so perfect, like this is what we did with that one swipe of the tri-raiser, you can see right there. I'll just lay this nice. It's got a little bit of movement and then this disconnection falls over top. So what do we do with that disconnect? It's really kinda fun to go through and cut this disconnect in half. Comb just a tiny bit over, see what it looks like. I'll put my Velcro clip up there, hold that in place and then I'll just take my texturizing scissor and I'll start working some of that hair that falls over. I'll just start working through that, just sliding it. Comb the hair back the way that I want it to fall, the way that I want it to kind of flow back and then I'll cut a little bit more, just kind of making it lighter through that disconnect into the back, which then takes on a shape that I wanna skinny up into a little bit more here. So I'll go in, you see how we start cutting into that and how it just skinnies it up, that's the goal there and I'll continue working on this side to now let out my Velcro, it'll pop over. Now I wanna keep length on this disconnect. I don't really wanna go too short, but the lighter you get with it, the easier and the more like you could just throw in a tiny bit of product and kind of style through it. Here, I'm in, I'm gonna do the same thing on the opposite side, so over here. So see the difference between that and what that looks like now? The big difference looks a lot fuller, thicker over here. Lynn asked if I were to choose one texturizing scissor, what would it be? It would be this one, the Yoragi number six from Mizetani. Sell it on our online store, it's my go-to number one scissor, texturizing scissor that I ever use, it's my favorite. The only other one that I like about the same, but I love, I do like having a blade on there, but if I'm trying to go through longer hair and glide through it, then sometimes I go with this Mizetani Type Z dual texture, which basically is just a texture scissor with two texture sides. So when you cut, you can see that there's a gap in between, when you cut with a regular texturizer, there's a slight gap, but you can see a blade in between all the teeth, sometimes that blade, you don't really feel it because these are so sharp, but sometimes a blade in your texturizing scissor can get a little caught up in the hair. So this, just a really awesome scissor, they both are, they're both awesome. And this one's about $200, I think, cheaper than the dual texture, so probably another reason why I just like it. All right, so now, go across that Pridal Ridge area, let some of this hair fall, comb the rest over, and I'll put my Velcro clip in here, right along the parting, and then I'll start combing this hair back and get ready to work through it. So, just like the other side, go in, and then this is another cool little feature of this scissor. So I like to always have the blade kind of following in the hair and then the other texture blade comes down and cuts it. So, on the other side, I would go this way, right, and cut, but when I come over here, now this texture side's down at the hair, so all I have to do is flip it because there's a tang on both, on both, so I can just go in and I still have my blade first. I'll just go in there and work through it a little bit more, and I'm really just trying to grab the surface of this, I'm not trying to cut too far in to the hair, so I'm not over cutting it. And the one thing about cutting with a razor is that all this work that I'm doing, I would have to kind of do double that work because if I used a scissor to cut it because the lines would be so blunt and it would be so thick that it wouldn't fall soft to begin with, so it's just something to think about as you're doing this haircut. Lift this hair up. I'm just gonna go in with my texturizing scissor here and just point cut through, just removing some of this and then take the ends out, and that's really just to kind of connect the top and bottom. Now the last little bit, we gotta go into the center, remove some of that weight, and then honestly, I can just like start really piecing through using this texture scissor and decide how long do I really want that hair to be. I'm just gonna take it a tiny bit shorter in there, almost there, almost there. All right, all right, cool. So we're almost there. Nice bit of palmitial spray wax. Yeah, Brian could give her a cool color now. True that. I wanna leave it like, I don't even really wanna mess with this fringe too much because I like that it's just kind of bouncy and not fully interfaced so the internet won't freak out too much. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Oh, I'm definitely digging this haircut. Hope you guys are too. Finalize it with this DB20 here. So what do you guys think? Pretty cool, I'm digging it. Hope you guys like it as much as I do. Hope you guys had fun today with me. Let's do a drawing again for Jess's tri-raiser that we're giving away here. Let's see. If it picks Jess again, then we know it's just meant to be. Otherwise, we'll see. Let me go here. All right, glad you guys like it. Is this live on Minerva today too? Yes, this is live on Minerva as well. The only thing it's not live on is my Facebook so I want a lot of you guys to understand that a lot of the internet is kind of a game of like what Facebook wants you to do. Well, for some reason I'm starting to feel like they don't want me to be live on there every day. So it's showing it to way less people so I'm trying to recover a little bit so I'm live on Freestyle on Education, Minerva, and YouTube right now. All those Facebooks and YouTube channel. All right, here is our hat full of names. This is for the tri-raiser. Let's see, and the winner is, that one jumped out. That's meant to be. That's serendipity, that's serendipity. Loving life 2474. Loving life 2474, beautiful. All right, what happened to Jess's tri-raiser? Jess gave hers up because she already has one so she wanted everybody, she wanted somebody else to have it which is a very, very nice thing to do. All right, guys, so do we have any questions? If you do, type Q, put in your question. I'll be on here for a couple more seconds. Shout out to them for their massive donation yesterday, for sure, yeah, I'm happy. I think they donated a lot. I don't even know the specific amount but they donated quite a bit, especially for like an individual donation but it's not about, I mean it is about the amount of money that you donate but the fact that any of you took any of your money and donated it to the charity to really help my son hit his goal of $6,000 is incredible and me and Christina and Hayden cannot thank you guys enough for that. Very, very appreciative of you guys stepping up and doing things with us and having our backs which is kind of what it's all about so I appreciate that, all of you guys. Let me go here, Jess Mac, was it $500? Yeah, could have been, 500 bucks. Incredible. Or maybe you're talking about Minerva, I'm not sure but Minerva stepped up, donated $500, Millennium Systems International, so those two companies if you guys are looking for salon furniture or you're looking for salon software, you either got Minerva Beauty for salon furniture and equipment or you've got Millennium Systems International for salon software, that's the software that we use, they do not sponsor any of our stuff right at this moment but they always seem to jump in for my son every year and I can't think them enough for that, John Harms is an awesome guy. So if you guys need software, salon software, Mevo too is what we use, so go check that out. Yeah, Jess's talking about Minerva, okay. Cause living life, 2474 I think is the name, donated like a couple hundred bucks too I think or something, over a hundred I know that. Let's see, when you don't have a double tang how would you adjust with the texturizing scissor? I think you just have to, that's a great question. So Yana, so you could, so if I can't adjust like let's say I'm here, then I would just go like this, come back and I could do that and then when I got over to this side I could just go through that. So you can always find your way cause you can always have that part of the scissor down. It's just easier if I can go like this on one side and then flip it when I get to this side and flip it around and do the same exact motion. So it's not that big of a deal, like you don't have to do it but it's for me I just like it. Let's see, all right cool, I think we're all good. Again, thank you guys, you're the best. Can't wait to see you guys live tomorrow, 10 a.m. Brian's gonna be doing a toning class. We're gonna talk about different toners and the way that they react to the hair it's gonna be really fun. So we got an hour with Brian tomorrow, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and then Danielle's gonna be doing some up styling for Thursday.
