Here we go Also, don't forget to subscribe to this channel right now hit that subscribe button right there So that you don't miss any of the videos that we have coming up. All right, here we go All right guys, so we're gonna start off this video like every video We're gonna start off by sectioning the haircut sectioning is the most important part now It's really important with this haircut because of the fact that we're gonna do an undercut And undercut is basically removing density from the cut So taking away a lot of the hair but allowing the top of the hair to fall over it Which basically gives you a lighter feel to the haircut More PC feel especially with thick dense hair So this is a really cool cut for somebody with a thicker to medium density hair if they have fine hair I wouldn't do this haircut on them. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna start off doing clipper over comb The reason I chose clipper over comb is because first off I just want to get the bulk out of the way So I'm gonna use my ys park 209 comb This is a great comb for clipper over comb because it's nice and wide so and it's got a smooth surface So it's easy to glide over the comb with the clipper So I just hold the hair into my hand and I cut it at around the length that I'm looking for It's not necessarily this isn't the final cut I'm just getting the bulk out of the way and then working my way through you could also use a guard in this But I want to leave it a little bit longer I don't like to go shaving the bottom of the hair because my goal is really just to have a nice kind of Push off so that it gives a little height to the rest of the haircut So if you think about it if I leave a little bit of density throughout the bottom and in the nape area When the top hair falls over it pushes it out a little bit gives it some more volume So I go through clipper over comb clean it up nice get all the lengths very similar And then I'll go through and do my detailing on the edges. So I'm scooping the hair up angling the comb towards me and Passing the clipper over the comb now what I'm gonna do is go through and do a little blow dry just to Smooth down the hair now. This is for a couple reasons I'm using a mannequin the hair tends to stick straight out from the head So this could be a similar situation that you guys are in but I like to go through and just Blow dry it use the heat of the blow dryer to lay down the hair get it nice and polished Then I go through and I clean up the edges using my scissor. I'm using the Mizutani type K scissor This is one of my favorites We have on free salon education comm for purchase you can check that out as well But I like this is right a five and a half inch because it gives me a nice strong blade But this scissor is very very soft So if you love a soft feel to the haircut when you're cutting hair then this is definitely the scissor for you So you can see nice not too short, but short enough now. I'm gonna comb everything back to me and go center part Directly down across the top and then down center back, and I'm gonna separate this into four quadrants We're gonna make this haircut very simple So the hardest part is that undercut and make sure that your sectioning is the right way But now what I'm gonna do is go through just braiding off each section or each panel The reason I like to braid it is because it just looks better than a clip It also keeps the hair in the direction that I want it to be for the rest of the haircut So sometimes when you twist everything up in a Zulu knot just it takes away some of the timing So just braiding it keeping it in the direction. I have everything comb the direction. I'm gonna have it later So it's just quicker work. So now I comb everything down hold it flat with my fingers This will start my guideline, but also give me zero elevation So a lot of people would pinch it in their fingers at that point What that's gonna do is give you that flip because it's gonna cut shorter hair It's gonna give it a slight bit of elevation. So you're not gonna get a strong line on the base So keeping everything tight to the neck Allows you to have pure zero elevation on the bottom So now I'm gonna work a backhand technique the thing I like about this technique as opposed to holding it in my fingers and cutting it at my finger is that it Really allows me to see the lengths that I'm cutting So I go past the guide and then I visualize where I want that line to be and I cut it in So tends to work on this type of cut where there's not a lot of density I probably wouldn't do that same technique if this was a full bob haircut, but when you have a light density It's a really cool technique just to create a line in there So you can see I do the same thing on the sides creating a little bit of an angle So it drops a little bit in the front following that jawline Now this side is where you're gonna see the benefits of this backhand technique because I want to match up this side With the left side they're symmetrical. It's parted in the center. So you want to have the same length So I find that visual point I go past my guide where my guide would be and I cut the hair exactly where I want it To match up with the opposite side So it's takes a little getting used to definitely practice it But it's a cool technique to to add into your toolbox like we talked about in other videos So now we're using brocado mousse. I'm gonna put that through the hair I work it through with the brush and then we're gonna do a flat wrap technique just to soften the hair get it into a natural fall Get it nice and smooth You can see the shine starting to develop on the hair really that comes from the air passing over the cuticle Laying that cuticle down and just creating that reflection of the light So we go back and forth polishing the hair and and working that flat wrap technique. I'm using the ergo paddle brush It's got great tension. It's really soft on your guests So pulls the hair nice and tight gives you that tension creates the shine So just a really great tool now. I'm gonna go in finish it off with the brocado vibra straight iron So the great thing about this technique is that there's not a lot of density left in the hair So ironing it's pretty simple. You don't have to work through the back nape. That's the hardest part It's where all of you guys out there if you're not a hairdresser and you have a bob haircut You struggle with trying to get the nape smooth But if you have it cut short and you have an undercut you don't have to worry about that So we go through just use the vibra straight iron mid shaft to ends polish it out And now I'm gonna do my finishing touches with a with some dry cutting techniques to Really just pull this haircut together. I want to add a little bit of texture to it But I also want to polish the outer perimeter. That's what we're doing now still using the type K Just smoothing out the front there a little bit more But using the type K the point of the scissor to go across the perimeter cut it That line that I want and now I'm gonna go through doing the tease cutting technique The trick to this technique is it's a half open half closed So you're not actually closing the scissor down on the hair You're just pinching the hair into the mid shaft of the scissor so of the blade So really just pulling the hair into the middle of the blade half cutting as you push in Teasing the hair in that way and then that'll give you your cut So you don't want to close all the way you just want to give it a nice soft teased cut feel gives it that separation and texture I'm gonna break it down and go a little bit slower here in one second. So Same thing. I'm grabbing hair pulling it straight out from the head. No over direction We're not trying to change the shape of the haircut if I over direct the hair I would shift the weight so half closed hat and then open half closed and open and just holding the hair straight out from the head Creating a light feel to the layering that we're creating Elevation is nice and high you can see that I hold it high up in the air and I let my guideline fall out So I let the outer perimeter fall out because you don't want to cut into the outer perimeter once that falls out Then I start the tease cutting technique throughout All right, so we're gonna finish off the cut with this product that Joico sent me It's called hair shake and the cool thing about this product when you shake it It sounds like it's a spray paint can but then when you spray it out It comes out feeling like you think it's a liquid and then by the time it hits the hair It turns into a powder form so it gives you this really cool texture that I think is unique to a lot of different products out there It's got a really great smell to it So just a really cool way to finish off a textured haircut. So next time guys next video I'm gonna color this haircut.
