 Alright, so some of you guys out there might be thinking why do I have to over layer thick hair to get a good result to get a nice Skinny result well today what I'm gonna share with you guys is how I like to layer thick hair to get a great result every single time But tons of texture tons of volume, but not create two shorter layers throughout So what I'm gonna do is break down the sectioning for you guys We're gonna start off creating a nice fringe section What I'm looking for here is I go about two inches up above the forehead and then I follow that hairline straight down I do the same thing on the sides here separating the front in the back So I look for the hair that wants to fall into the back and I look for the hair that wants to fall into the side And that's where I section it straight down that hairline in the back So now I've got three sections the front the middle and the back I do the same thing on the opposite side, and then we're gonna get started in cutting this haircut All right, so as we move into the back one thing I want to clarify about this video is that I know Somebody out there is thinking Matt. This is not thick hair. I understand that. It's a mannequin. I'm showing you guys technique I like to work through techniques whether it's a thick hair mannequin or thin hair. I'm thinking scenario I'm thinking education. So let's walk through this technique. So what I'm doing in the back here slight diagonal forward Horizontal sections in the very back of the head right along that occipital bone area I twist those two sections up in a way and then I'm gonna start working a nice balanced line in the back And what I mean by balance is I want it to be really parallel with my shoulders when I'm standing looking at the back of the head I want everything to come straight back to me. You can see how I'm pulling that out I'm gonna start by cutting vertically and straight out from the head. It's gonna be a slight Over 90 degree feel to this haircut. So we're gonna be creating seamless layers in the back But I want it to still have a little bit of weight So one of the challenges when we over layer hair is it ends up looking too thin on the bottom So right here in this bottom section I don't want to over elevate it because if I do that then it's gonna skinny it up too much I'm also working my way across using a traveling guide. So notice that I pulled that new that guide to the new hair So I pulled a guide halfway there And then the new hair meets it halfway and that's how I travel across the reason I'm doing that is because if I Overdirect that new hair all the way to the guideline then I start to get a little extra length by the end of this section I want to keep everything nice and even all the way across nice balanced section So I work my way all the way across in the back and then we're gonna move into the next section All right, so now we're moving up the head shape. So what I want to do is I'm going to section this into two parts I got my crown area which I'm gonna take away using a horizontal line in the very top twist that up get it out of the way That's gonna be my longer section of hair and now I'm gonna work on that interior weight Issue with thick hair and volume and all of that. I want to create shorter pieces within the interior of the cut So I'm gonna use concave layering, which is a collapsed layer I'm gonna remove tons of weight in there and you could see already it kind of builds up a little bit And that's gonna help with blow drying with volume all of those things, but also taking out weight So I'm gonna work my way across now. I'm working the round of the head now So no more balanced shape in the back and want that balance shape underneath But now I'm gonna work around shape as I work around the round of the head So still traveling guide following the head shape all the way around creating these concave layers You can see as I'm working around this corner. I don't want to over direct it back now So I'm not trying to push weight behind the ear So I just continue that round of the head all the way around so it's coming straight out from where it lives All right, so now we're gonna repeat the same process on the left hand side. I'm gonna take out that crown area I'm gonna work those round concave layers all the way around the round of the head using that traveling guide So here we go All right now. So as we finish that up, this is where things could get a little bit tricky in your mind I don't want you to think about that bottom anymore What you're thinking about is where do you want these layers on the very top to sit and you want to make sure that you cut them? Exactly 90 degrees or above so that you get a seamless layered effect And you don't get a pile of weight laying down on the head shape So I'm working my way around the round of the head I've got longer layers because I want this to have a longer layer feel and then those shorter layers underneath They're gonna help support and also take away obviously that weight Throughout the cut so everything straight up 90 degrees following that head shape You'll see me even recomb and shift and take that corner away That's where some of that weight would be and I just work my way around the round of the head cutting in those 90 degree layers All right now moving into the side section what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna break this into two parts as well We're gonna have top and bottom so right at that parietal ridge area section all the way across horizontally and I kind of kind of push that top section away and Then I'm gonna work on this bottom section. I'm gonna show you guys a technique That's really cool for removing tons of weight again We're working with super thick hair and this is gonna come straight out and we're gonna create a face frame effect with the layering So what I do is I kind of scoop motion with my hands and I work that blade open and close I'm gonna show you guys an overhead view here And I just kind of decide where I want those layers to hit around the face And then I work my way sliding the hair through my fingers and cutting as I go Which creates a nice short to long effect very similar to concave layering if you guys wanted to do that on the side You can do that as well or if you want to try out this technique It's super fun You can see the layering and you also see that short to long effect that we created so everything got Overdirected to that front section and just cut with that scooping motion. We're gonna do the same thing on this opposite side as well So just so it's clear as I work on the second side here guys I'm using a stationary guide at this point so everything's coming to that first cut line And I just keep moving my way back So what that does is it pushes weight to the back of the head So I just continue moving that scissor blade, but but again I'm over directing it to the same point on the left-hand side Okay, so now as I move into the top of the head This is a pretty cool way to cut face frame as well Just kind of over direct everything forward and above About above the nose and just continue working that through what that's gonna do is give you guys a short to long feel in the front Face frame layers, but also tons of layers popping through this to create lots of volume movement in a thick head of hair All right, so now we're gonna move into the blow dry. I'm using my Minerva blow dryer I'm gonna blast this thing dry real quick do a nice flat wrap technique now. Remember I didn't cut the fringe yet We're gonna cut that in the dry cut. I'm using the Matt Beck Velcro clip That's brand new on our shop check out shop fse fse is in free salon education You can pick up the brushes the clips that the scissors the combs everything that I'm using on this video besides the Dyson iron You can pick up on our shop for purchase. So check that out I'm gonna go through iron everything nice and smooth get it ready for the dry cut the Velcro clips are great because They hold the hair back, but they don't get stuck in there But they'll hold an entire big section of dry hair for dry hair cutting So dry hair cutting is one of my favorite things hence the clips as well So I'm using my Mizutani Matt Beck edition scissor With a 339 ys part comb all available on our shop and I just worked my way through now I cut that blunt line look at the fullness of this haircut Obviously, it's a little skinny on the ends, but remember this is not thick hair even though we're cutting a technique for thick hair So it looks full looks blunt on the ends. I go through I do a little detail work using a dry cutting scissor This is the Matt Beck edition not out yet Hopefully soon and then I'm gonna work this fringe, which is a really cool technique where I just take it I twist it to one side Completely twist it over and I'm gonna do a tease cutting technique, which is a half open half close to the scissor. I push the scissor in Tease cut it so I create different lengths So as I'm half closing it and then you'll see what happens and in the effect that we get here Look just tease cut through and then I walk to the other side of the head I pinch it all on my hands again And I do that same thing if you wanted it to be just a side fringe then you'd stop there But we're gonna have to create a nice curtain fringe with it and then look at that goes back and forth And now I'm just gonna do a slight bit of point cutting just to soften it up even more Right in that midpoint, but you can see the longest point is in the very center from that tease cutting and now we'll be able to style it up So give it a little bend with the iron I'm gonna give it a little curl with the iron So you guys can see that waved effect You can see the volume that we're creating with this haircut and then the tools combined It's just a beautiful end result Let me know in the comments below what you think of this haircut if you feel like you can use it on your clients I hope you can I'm gonna you finish with a little beach shake from Joyco Add a little bit of texture to it and then watch this a ticker head off and I shake it around wish I could do that With the clients it would be so much easier look at all those layers exploding and popping out of this Look, hope you guys like it.
