Today, we are going to be cutting. Gotta catch my breath. Talk too much. All right, today, we're gonna be cutting a pretty popular haircut. I've been seeing it all over the place. It's not really that this haircut is complicated, but it is uniquely messy and consistently throughout the TikTok culture and what I've seen from male TikTok influencers is that they're all kind of wearing this very similar haircut. So I wanna walk you guys through my version of that. It's gonna be really fun. If you have questions as we go, I remember, type Q and put your question. That's what this is all about. Ashley, awesome. I'm glad you're on the live, not new to your Facebook, but new to the live. Very cool. Levittown PA, right down the road. Very cool, Robin. Jonathan India, not right down the road. Thanks for watching. It was super cool because me and Christina, so our tri-raiser, this is our new tool that started shipping yesterday. You see, I'm in black clothes and this is dark, but tri-raiser, actually, look at this, pop. Yeah, so this is a tri-raiser. It's our new razor tool, just started shipping yesterday worldwide and me and Christina packed tons of packages last night and it was crazy. I came in today to see how many are going out in the mail today and the reason I'm telling you guys this is because we were talking last night. We haven't been able to ship worldwide any products that we've been selling because of distribution rights and all that stuff and we've had a worldwide audience forever so it's really cool that now we have our own tool and we can sell it worldwide and last night, Christina was here for eight hours straight packing packages for you guys and we were talking when she got home, finally, that all the places that we're shipping them to so it's literally all over the world. So thank you guys so much, all of you guys who have ordered one. If you haven't, you can go to Shop FSE, get your order in. It's no longer pre-order, it's now shipping so I'm excited for all of you guys to have it in your hands, cutting hair with it, having fun, I'm gonna do some of the haircut today with it as well so you can learn how to use it and I'm just excited to see what you guys create with it and share it. So thank you, Anise, I really appreciate that. All right guys, cool. So let's go over, I got all the stuff out of the way here. Let's go over to the mannequin. So I wanna talk about, actually, before I do that, I'm getting ahead of myself here. Gotta show you guys what we're cutting today. So this kid, his name is Jacob Sartorius, I believe. I don't really know because I don't really get too involved in TikTok at this moment, probably should more. I'm working on that, that's my 2021 goal. But Jacob Sartorius is one of the most popular male influencers on TikTok. This haircut is very popular. So I'm gonna show you guys, this is the first picture. Cool kid, I actually think he might be older than I think he is, I'm just getting old, so there we go. But he, I don't have no idea how old he is. But this haircut, although looks kind of just messy, I love the disconnection of it, I love the texture in it. So that's kind of what we're gonna walk through today. Let me show you a couple other versions of it. If you guys know who he is, let me know in the chat. I'm sure you do, or your kids do. Here's the next one, again, messy. So I mean, it's kind of similar. He's got a little bit wavier hair than I do, but it's just kind of a messy top with disconnection. But I'm gonna show you guys some strategies to creating that. And then also when we go through the style, it looks like he didn't style this, but I know he did. So, well, I don't know if he did in this moment, but he definitely did. My phone's ringing. There we go. So here we go. Now Jacob, here's one more picture of him. And this is one thing I want you guys to kind of realize is when a client brings in a picture of a style and you're going through it, I think that one of the best things to do is just bring up multiple, yeah, I know, keep calling, is to bring up multiple images of the same person because what might happen and what I found can happen is when somebody says, oh, I want the Jacob Sartorius haircut, we go and look at one picture or we might pull up an old picture and you wanna try to find the most current. So going to Instagram is usually the best idea because then you can figure out. For me, I kind of looked up what this TikTok hairstyle was and I wanted to look at it on a few different people so I could see kind of an average style of it, not necessarily just the one way of doing it. So where is he from? He's from TikTok. So he's a musician at this point. I don't know if he was a musician at the beginning. This is not a tutorial about who he is. It's about his haircut and I know he's popular. You can look him up for sure and he does music on TikTok. Okay, I'm going to close this out. So this is the haircut that we're gonna create today. Super simple. I'm gonna show you guys how to go through it step by step and we're gonna have some fun creating it. So let me go right here. I'm gonna grab up some. So who's excited to watch this cut? Let me know in the chat. Let me see your favorite emoji. California, cool. What's up, Akshay? Good to see you. All right guys, I'm just formatting a card real quick so we can, here's one thing about this. This is a class format so this will be a little bit longer class. If you guys like the shorter tutorials, this will be out as a tutorial as well. The whole reason I do these lives is I also record them for YouTube so I can break it up and make it smaller. But I like being on here live so I can answer your guys' questions. So that's kind of the most important part of this whole experience is to get involved in the chat. All right, almost ready. Cool, Washington, Texas. Recording. All right, ready to roll. Okay, so to start this off, I sectioned it. And the way that I sectioned it off was just to really focus on that parietal ridge area. Now he has quite a bit of disconnection and that disconnection sits pretty low. So let me throw on his photo one more time right here. So zoom into where I sectioned off. So you can see on his how it sits. So his hair kind of comes over to this side over this way. Now, that doesn't mean that this is actually sitting lower. It's disconnected underneath. So I wanted to find that ridge and then you go just a little bit below the parietal ridge. So right here, I can see the comb coming off. So as it kind of tilts up a little bit, this is where my parietal ridge area is. So I go slightly below that. I want that weight sitting there. And then everything underneath, we're gonna take shorter. So you can do this a couple different ways. You can cut it using a razor, which I kind of like. And some of these TikTok influencers, what they're wearing in this haircut, they wear it a little bit kind of shaggier through the bottom. His a little bit tighter, so you could do it either with a clipper or you can do it with a razor. Today, I'm gonna do it with a razor and take it nice and short still, but show you guys how to do that. So I'll spray it down a little bit and we're gonna take vertical sections, take his, should probably show you guys how to do those highlights too. See where we're at with time. Probably a different day, but. Okay, so we got the tri razor here. Now, we've got the 100% cutting side and you've got two texture sides. You got texture 25, texture 50, depending on how much texture you wanna create. We'll do these two sides up top and this will be how we cut the bottom in a more precise way. So first things first, we take the comb. Now, let me see where I can show you guys the best view. I'm gonna work slight diagonal back. Grab the hair, slight diagonal back section. Bring it out to me and I'm gonna go real close to the head. Keep under. So I'll go close to the head and then I've got my 100% side and I'm just gonna slide and cut. You can see how that just takes and creates a nice line. I'm gonna do the same thing right next to it. Bring that hair in, comb it up towards me. This, now I've got my 100% and just slide down. So we're creating a slight textured effect but still very precise throughout the cut. Hello Beverly from Mississippi, Becca from Utah, good to see you guys. I'll bring the hair in and I really wanna do this in a salon kind of reality pace for you guys so you can see how quick this cut can happen. So I'll just work through it nice and fast. Wonder if this will be a better angle for you guys. Let's see. So still working on that diagonal back just works right through it and I like it cause I can visually see everything that I'm doing. So being able to create those lines in there while still holding the hair kind of away from the head is awesome. Jessica from Paul Mitchell of the School, Huntsville. What's up Jessica? Hopefully the tri-raiser will be available Paul Mitchell of the School kits someday, right? All right, so look, I see my guide right there and I just draw my line. After that pause, recomb and you continue working that line. Now I just wanna make sure that this hair is right above the section so I don't get too much over direction and I'm not creating extra weight. This is also great for a pixie cut. So those of you guys that might be thinking that right now, you are correct. You wanna create some short women's cuts with some texture. It's a great way to do it. Now I'm gonna go a little bit away from the scalp now because I wanna start to build up weight. So if you look at right here, right in this area towards the top of the crown, I'm not gonna go up into the head. If I go up in, I'm gonna take out that weight, it's gonna get flat. I wanna start building a nice little kind of curve on in the crown. So still bringing everything straight out but cutting it a little bit longer. What type of razor blades? So let me show you guys the blade that I'm using. So this is the blade that goes in right here and you can buy TriRazor blades on our website. We have limited quantities of the blades for like the next 20 days but we will have more coming in and you get blades with your order. So you'll get five in a box plus the three that are in it. So it comes with three inside. So you can see right here, and this thing's $44, so cheap, right? Not too expensive, right there, average razor cost and you can see the three blades go in it and then you put it right back together, snap it in. There we go, snap it in and then you put the top on, snap that in and you're good to go. You got all three blades in there. So now there's a buildup of weight happening right here in the crown. That's all from changing my finger angle, just cutting a little bit longer, working my way through. Let me get back to salon pace here, see that length. All right, now we're gonna go to the opposite side here and we're gonna start working backwards to connect the two sides. Just sprayed him in the face because I was reading your guys' comments and then I just looked at him and I was like, whoops, don't do that. Don't do that to your people. So diagonal back, I'm gonna bring this hairline piece in later. Thank you, Nicky, appreciate that. They're back, see how I can get best view for you guys. There we go, just slide through and we just continue diagonal back until we meet that opposite side. Hold my hand in the way, guys, sorry about that. Almost there, so now we're starting to work into both sides as I comb backwards. So I'm gonna bring it in the way that I got to. I just see my guide underneath and then I slide and cut through. So imagine the ease of being able to cut face frame or anything like that where you just kind of slide through. So here, now I'm gonna show you guys. So now I'm connecting both sides. So as I get over here, as I get into this area, I'm still taking those diagonal back sections through here. So diagonal back. So when I grab up the hair, I'm actually gonna see the previously cut side in my fingers. So I'm just sliding through and connecting those two sides together. So here, slide and connect. Just like that tiny bit of hair connecting the two together. So now, the way that we cut this, we created a nice little buildup of weight within the haircut. We also have this kind of fringy outer perimeter, which we can cut into so we can pinch and cut. You can also go through with your scissor and cut or your trimmer and cut. However you like the look to be, I like a little more kind of free feel to it. I am gonna go around blow dry this real quick and do some detail work with the scissor around the edges. So I like to combine both tools. All right, so now we're gonna blow dry. I'm gonna work this back and forth. Here we go. So now that I got them dry, I'm gonna take and work through with my comb and just do a little bit of detailing throughout this cut. So I'll just look at little things like where the razor I like. I don't wanna take away inconsistencies because I love that texture to affect that the razor gives, but just adding in some kind of details around the edges around the ear, all that stuff. So right in here, I'll just go right through and around the ear. I want it to be over the ear because I still wanna create that texture, but it doesn't need to be so far over the ear, right? So just kind of clean that up and then I'm gonna take, create a little more of a sideburn. Obviously this you could kind of blend into their facial hair if you wanted to, depending on if they're 12 or not, like the guy that we're, he's probably not 12. So working through around the ear and again right here, that's about it. So you get this kind of cleaner appearance, but then the texture within the inside. We're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side here. Slight diagonal back, little scissor over comb. The ear, take this a little tighter. Again, I don't wanna affect the texture. So I'm not trying to go too crazy and then this little build up of weight here in the back, that's really, that was the key right there. You don't want this to be flat against his head and then have that disconnect. You wanna build it up a little bit and then as we kind of build into this disconnect on the top, start cutting the top a little bit shorter, it's totally fine because you still aren't taking away the shape of the head. I don't know what Jacob, the kid that we're kind of mimicking with the haircut today. I don't know what the back of his head looks like, but for me, if I was doing this on a client, I would not want the back of the head to be flat at all. Or to show too much disconnection. To me, that's when this haircut kind of turns more, just, I don't wanna say amateurish, but it just doesn't really have a put together feel to it. And even though you're working disconnection, you still want it to have kind of a put together feel. All right. So now I'm gonna let this top down, nice and long with that wave. And I'm gonna comb everything forward. And most likely, your client will not have this long of a top. If they do, then you can try to keep that out of their face, but he's not real, so I'm just gonna comb it all forward. Now we're gonna work across the top. I wanna show you guys over here. We zoom in here as we work across. So this, the sectioning that we had was kind of like this. So we had this kind of U-shaped section around the top. So this is that back portion of the crown that it gets a little bit longer. All we're working on is this now front area and it goes into that parietal ridge. So you shouldn't really see too much of your section. If you look over top, you shouldn't see much of your partings. That your parting should not be in here tighter. That means they're not under the parietal ridge. Parietal ridge is that curve, right? That happens. So now that I'm here, let me go, I take my parting, right? So my initial parting is gonna be straight down the center and I'm gonna cut my guide. For the length that I want the middle to be. And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna build off of that and we're gonna do a traveling guide all the way across the top, just like this. And all of it is gonna be elevated straight up. So we're gonna do that through both sides like that. So this is our center line. Now I'm gonna bring my center line to the new section, right? So I'll bring this one over to this point and then I'll bring this section over to this one, this section over to that one. So I'm basically, I'm traveling, but by moving the guide across to the edge. What that's gonna do is give me a consistency across the top on my horizontal and my vertical line. And then also this connection based on my elevation and the length with compared to the sides. So here again. So we'll call this section one, two, three, four, five, and so on, two, three, four, five. Those will all be the same. I'm gonna bring section one basically to one and a half. And then I'm gonna bring section two to two and a half, three to three and a half. That way I'm not over directing it too much and I get a consistency throughout the top if that makes sense, hopefully. And Jess, I see your question. Yes, I do use this board in class. So virtual cutting club, if you guys don't know about it. I meet with hairdressers every Monday. We're part of a club. It's $50 a month. It's a subscription based model and we cut hair over zoom together. And then I use, so we do it together. We do haircuts together this week. We focused on all different popular fringes of 2020. We cut them together. And then you go on our app and you get a blue check mark that says that you train with me. So everybody that's watching out there that maybe is not a hairdresser and you're looking for a new stylist and you want something that trains with me, then just type in your zip code and if you see somebody with a blue check mark, it means they're part of my virtual cutting club and you should go get your haircut by them. So, all right, here we go. We're gonna work through the top. Like I said, we got a vertical section through the top. So I'm gonna take that all the way across. And I think the key thing for me in this cut, I'm trying to stay out of your way, is to pick the right length for the top. That's really, for me, the most important. So you wanna start off, you wanna make sure we're gonna cut this entire line through the top. First, make sure that our length seems good and then we will move forward with the rest. So right there, now let me take another line right next to it. Want it to be pretty thin. It's pretty good. There, no more than my finger width apart. Actually take a little, just gonna clip a little bit here. Okay, so now we're gonna work from this point and we're gonna work a straight line across the top, just like this, let me back out a little bit. So we are gonna work a straight line across the top, just like this. And what's gonna happen is the head starts to curve down. And when the head curves down, that means I'm pulling hair from a longer point to get to this line. And when you do that, you start to create a little extra length. So through the top, I'm not trying to create a ton of length here because now we're gonna create this horizontal line that comes across this way as well. And if we do that, I don't want this disconnect to be too extreme with the sides, right? So we wanna create disconnect but we don't want it to be too much. So picking the right length makes the most sense here. So I come up, I've got this hair in my hand, no guide, I'm not worried about the guide right here because I don't wanna connect it fully to this. I just want it to disconnect over top of it. So right here, and if I need to blend that a little bit later, I can. So I'm gonna go here, take a little bit less hair, comb the hair up, come on guy, come on. So right there, and then I'm gonna work my line across. I'll pick up a little bit more hair and continue that line across. And I'm just gonna walk across the top of the head and what's gonna happen is that hair that started shorter here, it's pretty short, gets longer and longer. And our goal is for it not to get too long by the time it gets to the front because you want that texture in there but you don't need a ton of length. So look, when I let this go, how long this already is. It's already at his nose. You can see. So that line across gets super long because of the forehead in the front but this is gonna give us a ton of hair to kind of play with in that style at the end. So now I'm gonna continue through this side, taking those vertical sections, hit the overhead, you brighten this up a little bit, there we go. All right, comb the hair forward and now I'm gonna pull on a drop, pull this guide over to the new section. You should see the guide diffuse just slightly. That's when you know you got it in the right spot. How would you hold the slash cut the top if you were to use a razor instead of shears? That's a great question. So if I was gonna use the razor which I'm gonna use the razor to do some texturizing on the top of this but if I was going to use the razor to cut I would hold it like, let me show you. Grab my section first. We'll go right over where it lives. I would go a little bit past that and then I would slide the razor. So let me show you actually. So comb the hair up like this. It's over top of where it lives. Go past that, I see the guide and then I can just come in here and I can actually slide straight across that section. That creates a nice line all the way across. Then I pick up, bring it over top where that section is and then I slide across. For me, I like using the scissor at this point because I like to create that precision line and then go through and create the texture after but if you wanted to just create a textured line right away, you can totally do that as well. So that's one section with the razor. So we're getting close to this pride or ridge area of where it lives, cut across. Couple, couple more, tilt the head towards me just a little bit. You just wanna make sure that this hair here is coming straight over that parting. That's the key. The rest of this hair, all this will fall out of the section when you push it over. Then last one. All right. Now I'm just gonna make sure I check the back. See a couple of little, that looks cool. All right. So let me flip to the side camera. And so you guys can see how this kind of the texture in the cut is already building up and then it gets longer into the front. And a lot of times when we see that length in the front, we always think, well, I should start over directing it so that I can create it. But when you start over directing too much, you get way too much length in the front. So now I'm gonna do the same thing opposite side. We're gonna do it real quick. The guide will come from the center to start us and then it'll travel across. And remember that center is gonna come back to the new section. Here it is, got the new section, part everything over, comb it up into my hand and then bring that center towards me, like this, over top of the section. Up, bring the guide over. So if you bring the new hair over to the guide, what do you think's gonna happen? Think about that. If I take a new section and I bring it back over, see if I can hide this. If I take the new section that I took and I bring it to the guide, I'm pulling it away from where it lives and bringing it to a place to cut it. So anytime you take something and take it somewhere, it's gonna have a longer way to get. So it's gonna be a longer section. And if I do that every single time working my way over, by the time I get to the edge, the hair is gonna be super long. And I want a disconnect, but I don't want a really long disconnect in this cut. So you gotta be careful and make sure you bring that guide over and let the section live. Basically on top of the parting, maybe not quite. So you get yourself consistent length all the way through. All right, almost there, a couple more sections. This is a good point to show you guys here that this is, here's the disconnect and this hair is coming straight up. I comb the guide towards it. Bring this guide towards the section, but that section is still straight over top where it lives. And I'll finalize the back a little bit. Bring that straight up. So now I'm gonna go back to the razor. So now we've got our front. We've got all these layers created in here. This hairstyle is gonna be worn pretty messy up in the front like that. So it'll have a ton of texture in there. It's disconnected from the sides, but it gets pushed forward just a little bit. So now I'm just gonna go in with some of these pieces, add in just a little bit of air, a little bit of texture into it. So I'll grab little bits like this and I'll just kind of work the razor through the front. So just like that. Pinch some little pieces and work through it. So I'll work my hands in there, see where it falls a little bit longer than I want it to. Cut into it. Pieces. All right, let's turn into something now. Okay, so here's what I'm gonna do at this point. I'm gonna blow it dry again and this time everything's gonna get blown dry forward. See you later, Lynn. Merry Christmas. So all this gets blown dry forward and then the top I'm actually going to diffuse into it. So I'm gonna add a little bit of texture paste to it. I also wanna show you guys how I'm gonna texturize this to just add a little bit more movement to the cut. So one of my favorite things to do here, let me blow dry first and finish the smoothing the top. So I'll just flat wrap it back and forth. Okay, so this is super fun, this technique here. So what I'm gonna do is I've got my dry cutting Velcro clip here and I'm gonna section through the top. So we created this really nice kind of even line throughout the top of the haircut. So now what I wanna do is just go in and add a little bit of texture to it. So this is a really fun texturizing technique. I'll slide my Velcro clip in so you guys can see, just holds that nice and steady. You can get those on our shop as well. And then I take my 25% texture side, zoom in, tilt forward so you guys can see. So right here, and I take this 25 texture side and I just put it against the scalp and I cut into the hair just a little bit. What that does is it removes the tiniest bit of hair from the haircut, but it'll start to add space to it and movement to it. So I can go through, I can do that wherever I want. You can even do it down on the hair a little bit if you want to, so you don't have to go right at the scalp. If they have a little bit thinner hair and you don't wanna take out too much, you wanna create some extra volume in the haircut, you can do it with that as well. Just go underneath it and just take out because those little hairs that are in there help prop up this whole bit, this whole part of the haircut. So take the Velcro clip out. I'm gonna work through again. I like to do a diagonal line when I do this because it creates a little bit softer effect. Push this up, slide Velcro clip in, gives me the nice parting. I'm just gonna go in 25 here and just slide through. There you go. You can see it creates little gaps, little bits of movement, smaller pieces of hair throughout and adds a lot of texture. We'll do the same thing on the opposite side, diagonal forward, comb the hair up, slide the clip in and then right here, slide down, hit 25% out. Now obviously, if they have super thin hair, you gotta be careful doing things like that. If it's medium and you just wanna create some texture, I recommend going a little bit further down on the hair shaft doing that. If they have really thick hair, go right to the scalp with the 25% texture side because it's not gonna remove all the hair but it will create a ton of texture and movement. Now you can also do this around the hairline as well. So let's say we go in here and I just wanna take out and work somebody's hairline a little bit. I can just slide in and take out some hair there depending if it's longer hair. Obviously shorter hair, you might not wanna do that. You could do a little bit texturizing with your scissor or something like that but with this length here, it creates a really nice kind of flow to it. Especially if it was even a little bit longer than that. We can do the same thing in the back here. Comb this hair down, slide in. It looks scarier than it is because this is barely showing much blade in there. So that lighter piece throughout is the amount of blade that's showing. Obviously this is a little scarier when you have here. This is for somebody with super thick hair, longer hair. You wanna go in and really remove. I did a video on that. It's great for dry cutting because it exposes a ton of blade. So like when you cut longer dry hair, you cut right through it and then this obviously all the hair gets fed in so 100% of it's gonna cut so you don't wanna go in with that side and cut through it. So that 25, the Texture 25 side is perfect for all of that. Cutting. Okay. And you can get it. So Yvonne is saying, where can you get it? You can get it on Shop FSE, which is our online store. All right, so now to kind of finalize this haircut for you guys. What I'll do is I'm gonna wet it slightly in the front because it's got more of a wave to it. So I wanna diffuse and it really doesn't feel like it has a lot of product to it. So let me pull up the style. Those of you guys that are just tuning in here, let me pull up what we've been working on right here. I'll put another version of it up too. So here we go. Make it a little smaller. There it is. So a couple of different versions. You can see where is it different ways. I really don't think there's a big rhyme or reason to how he's choosing to wear this, nor do I even know if he really does a lot of prep work to style it. But if you wanted to have a little bit more rhyme and reason to it, then here's what I would suggest. So I add a little bit of moisture to it. Obviously this could just be a right out of the shower thing. Then I'm gonna add a little bit of Maverick dry paste to the hairstyle here. That'll give me just a tiny bit of hold. And I'm gonna scrunch that in. So I'll really kind of work it into my hands first. And then I'll start scrunching it and working it through the front. You can see how it starts to create a little separation with the pieces. So but it doesn't make the hair wet looking. So as we start to diffuse this, it'll look even cooler. So there you go. Disconnection in the back, pieces through the front. And what I've noticed with not just this kid and how he's wearing his hair, but some of the other TikTokers, they have this similar hairstyle. And what they do is it's longer on the sides like this. So it has a little more realistic feel to it. And when they style it, they push this forward. And this kind of lives forward, which is what I like when I see this cut. And what I think makes it kind of have a more lived in appearance to it. Like this kid is pretty clean cut through the sides. And for me, if you're gonna wear this messy, I kind of like that it looks like it was all messy kind of on purpose. So this would be my version. Like if I was gonna cut any of those kid's hair, obviously this is kind of how I would do it. And now let me diffuse it a little bit. This is just to kind of finalize the style, add a little bit of heat to set the style as well. And the purpose of it is to look a little messy. So you don't want to make it too perfect. Because then it's not cool, you know what I'm saying? Thank you, Peg, appreciate it. And if they don't have wavy hair, then it's probably gonna look a little more like my hair. With the disconnection and stuff. But anytime you add product and scrunch it in, you're gonna get a little bit of a wave effect, especially on shorter hair. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. Bigger over here. So what do you guys think? Let me know in the chat if you're digging it. I'm gonna give you guys a full workaround on this thing. Make him go away. So here's the view that personally I love. I love it from the side angle. You can see how that, the layering that we put through the top, how it has that kind of smooth feel. The texture comes out from the structured build of the cut. So that's another reason why I like doing the scissor part and then just going in and creating some of that texture with the razor. And then the, you know, the disconnection on the top from cutting it straight across, gives it that kind of overflow of hair, but it's not too disconnected. And that was the key of getting that center point on the top just right. You know, the sides we went through with the tri razor, love the tool for that. Obviously, like Suzanne's saying, she says the sides need more fade. That's subjective, right? So like everybody has their opinion. I like the sides a little bit more lived in. Suzanne probably wouldn't cut it this way. She would cut it with a closer fade. That's totally cool. You can and no one tells you what to do. My goal of these classes is never to tell you exactly how to do a haircut. It's just my version of it. And I hope you guys don't just copy it and do that and not learn why you're doing everything you're doing. Hopefully you're learning why I'm doing what I'm doing and then you can adapt it to why you would do it the way you would do it. And that's cool. And that's what makes our job super fun. So this is my version of the TikTok haircut for boys, for males. I haven't seen any females on TikTok wearing this haircut. There probably are. So I'm excited to see that as well. But this is one of the top haircuts for males on TikTok right now. All right. All right, cool. So anybody have any questions as we finalize this class today? Zoom in. There you go. Let me give you guys another little turn here. Thank you, Suzanne. Appreciate it. Fantastic. Thank you, Jody. It's messy. It's real. It's a salon reality, which I love. That's, you know, we spend our entire day just trying to do these quick cuts to make them look good, get people on with their day. And this is one of those perfect haircuts for that. Peg, thank you so much. Appreciate it. All right. Gals can totally rock this. I totally agree with you, Anise. 100%. Would you do something different if the person had super straight hair? Well, if they have super straight hair, they would be like me. And that's kind of the cut that I have currently right now. So this is kind of what it would look like more. So you can see I have a ton of product in my hair and I just kind of, I could scrunch it up. It's never gonna look curly. So I just kind of let it be what it is. Besides see-through, I'm not sure where it is. But, is the top cut in a rectangular shape? Christos, yes, it definitely is. Can you talk about how you would do it with clippers? I can, I don't have clippers here, but clippers I would just, you know, I would work the sides and fade it up. So I would do, you know, whatever length I was looking for and then I would just work that fade. Still would not, for this style, I know that we're really into fade culture still a little bit. In my opinion, when I'm seeing the kids wearing, a lot of kids are not, I don't see it in what's popular now. Wearing as many tighter fades as they are wearing. And I think it came from quarantine, like no one got haircuts and so they had to adapt their style. So I think that's just the reality of the world we live in now. No one's getting haircuts as well. People are getting haircuts as often. People are still going to barbershops, still getting haircuts, but in a salon life, I think people have backed off a little bit and have decided to have more lived in looks, which is kind of like this. So in my opinion, you know, you could fade it up. I just want to go too short because I like the idea of it organically still fitting all together. But you can go short if you want. All right, cool. Put the clipper over comb the sides and back or use a clipper guard. If so, maybe a three. Yeah, Anise, that's it. You can totally, a three guard would probably be a little, it would be a little bit shorter than what I did, but it would be similar to what his look like. So if you look at this here, that's probably a three. Maybe a two. So yeah, you could do clipper over comb too. I'd probably do clipper over comb before I would do a clipper guard. All right, let me make those go away. All right, cool. Any other questions? Post them in the chat real quick.

This kind of is a curlier style. Even curlier, it could work. It might look a little more poppy. Like on the top, it might look a little more built out and you might have to take it in a little bit but you could definitely do it on curlier. All right, any other questions? Thank you guys so much.
