 guys welcome to today's class let me see if I can let me go here first uh thank you guys so much for tuning in all of you guys that are tuning in if you're new to the show type new in the chat if you're an og an original type og in the chat you guys know what to do if somebody asks for a link or what our app is or anything like that just please post those links in the chat what's up jess good to see you victoria good morning uh Adele what's up roller what's up hacib how are you how are you uh today we're gonna have a ton of fun it's gonna be a quicker class because we're just really doing uh kind of a shape up on my good pal brian here um so he texted me a few days ago said hey i uh we haven't cut this since october and we need to do it so here we go we're gonna do it live uh i'm gonna share with you guys some tips on that let me just uh pop this over here all right so here's the thing first things first um me and brian talked uh and everybody can say hi hi to brian in the chat because he can see the chat so um hi matt's friend nice um so me and brian talked right before we went live here um so here's the thing he is experimenting with having a little bit longer hair so what we want to do and a couple things that we really like about it is how the hair kind of kicks out me stay out of the way uh how the hair kind of kicks out on the sides so i want to let that kind of happen so we're going to cut into that a little bit here's where i see the challenges in is cut right now um there's no shape so when you look at the back here we'll go in brighten that up a little bit so right in this area there's no shape so what i want to do when you pick that up you can see where the the heaviness hits right down here that's because we haven't cut it since october right so this is the grow out of where we had that shape in october it was probably more sitting up here so i want to reshape it a little bit lighten it up uh take some of this length out and then brian's got really fine hair we me and him both have very similar uh hair type so what i want to do is i want to add some texture to it uh and try to create as much movement as possible so that we can um lighten it up create that shape and just uh make his haircut make a little bit more sense so the other thing uh that we want to work on is around the ear area here all this weight is also hitting right at the ear so i want to cut into that and then in the very front in this fringe area we're going to cut into that as well so that's going to be pretty much it so most importantly sectioning comes into play so let's talk about that few things i'm going to do i'm going to section right at his parietal ridge area really just separating that top and bottom let me go here see bronx is high i'm at i'm matt's friend too that's all right so we'll section it part it down that's the parietal ridge right there and then i'm just going to clip this up using the velcro clip you guys know about this at this point just kind of stick it on and it separates the hair so we're going to do the same thing in through the back i'm going to work the right side then i'm going to work the left side right here i taught a class and a mask in a while it's uh it's hot in here hot in this mask all right so there we go so now we've sectioned away uh basically the entire top from the bottom and i go diagonal back right in this crown area so that i can work underneath so because the head the hairline kind of goes diagonal back that's where you want to follow it all right so my goal is to layer through the side here and then collapse it and then kick that bottom out that makes sense to everybody say yes if it makes sense do me a favor guys we're live on minerva beauty's facebook as well so uh if you get a chance just hit that share button let's get as many people in the room as possible we're building it up pretty good so thank you guys for that all right so i'm going to start off just using a basic scissor and then i'm going to move into a texturizing scissor after that i want to make sure you get all the hair underneath the mask that is number one it's a new thing for all of us well it's not really that new anymore i'm just going to come out just like this and i want to cut into it point cutting to start removing that weight and start moving that weight line up grab my section i'm just going to point cut to start moving that line and softening the weight around the ear and remember if you guys have questions type q and put in your question uh so just type q before the question that way i can see it in the chat as we go why cut it dry instead of wet so that's a great question uh leslie so here's here's a couple things so the reason i cut it dry so i can see everything that's happening in real time right so if i cut it wet um it's going to kind of lie to me because it's going to lay a lot flatter it's going to kind of move a little bit different so especially fine hair and thick hair both i like to see it happening in real time the other thing is if i pull up a section and i cut it dry i can make it much softer so as i come in here these little every little hair is separated when it's wet all the hair clumps together so when i go in and i point cut it takes a bulk of hair out as opposed to taking out just a tiny bit so i like to go in do it on dry hair now if i was cutting a precision cut i would put it i would cut it wet um because then that clumps the hair together and allows me to um kind of cut more precision lines so what this is doing is just starting to shift that weight line to be a little bit higher and then i'm going to pull it in here so this is heavy right there so i want to go in point cut through it and then that'll scoop that out so we're just continuing down the head shape and i'll show you guys how broken this line is as i comb it out there you can see right there nice shattered line that's going to remove any of that bulky weight that was kind of created on its own from him not getting a haircut since october right you guys can see the difference here i'm just pulling the hair up there's the bulk that i want to take out so it's going shorter to longer now once i've created this kind of short to long feel i can either go in with my scissor and start cutting into this disconnect or this length around the sides i can do that with a regular scissor or i can do it with a texturizing scissor we're going to slide through for now using a regular i'll just work through it christos is asking do i visualize the final result before starting the haircut yes so i think that's important um as i'm going through every section i'm visualizing what that result's going to be of what i'm doing so i know if i'm holding this hair and i pull it out like this the length the longer length is going to be at the bottom of my finger here and the shortest length is going to be in two of my fingers up here so that's kind of the whole point of this i want to push that length to the bottom but i want to make it shorter up towards the crown so we just continue through and i do it until i feel like i've got the shape that i want and i'm using point cutting just because with finer hair um so there's point cutting benefits thick and fine hair but for me fine hair if you have too bulky of lines within a haircut they show up really prominently so what i would say is with fine hair going in and point cutting softens the way that it's going to fall also to me kind of creates more of a velcro-y type texture so when you go to mess up that that hair or put product in it it gives you that peaceiness in a little bit more volume in my opinion so uh with with thicker hair you go in and point cut and it removes weight so that kind of helps as well so i think it's benefits both all right so now as i let this down in the back i'm going to continue cutting into it a little bit doing the same thing just like this cut through so as that falls we're getting that same effect and i'm going to show you guys the side by side in the back so you can see what we've created so far all right so we're going to turn them and let me see if i can get the right lighting to show you guys the difference here brighten it a little bit i'm going to overexpose it just so you guys can see so see how light and how it kind of comes in collapses in right there and comes out to the sides but over here it's heavy and bulky that's the biggest difference and that's what we're doing so we're taking away this bulkiness and creating that sleek kind of kick out there that makes sense now i'm going to come underneath here we're going to do the same thing so we'll section them up clip it away we can work underneath we'll do the same thing on the top side here so same thing get closer on the inside of my fingers to his head and then point cut up doing a wonderful job bram i know right being on camera not talking is there's a lot yeah it's intense sometimes people tell me that i talk too much so nope never so now as we work through the back now we're just connecting both sides so i'll come in here same thing what i love about this cut is that it's really more about sculpting than it is about like precision work so obviously everything has a purpose but the goal is to go in and just make his hair fall in the way that you want and just do it in steps so we started in the base here and now we're working our way up the head to get that shape i go straight down the vertical and i'm going to start to raise up this weight line so now the weight line is going to hit there and we'll rotate around the top of the head just pulling it back to the previous guideline and brian likes to wear a side part we're going to go right over here straight on and because he wants to wear a side part we've got to take a couple things into consideration first off this is going to be his weaker side so i want to create some layering throughout here try to get a little bit of volume into it then we've got our heavier side that's going to fall a lot flatter because all the weight's just kind of sitting so i want to add some layering throughout that as well that's a first literally just about bit it all right so we're working our way through this side i'm going to need a new uh growing after that one this is why we sweep all right here we go through so same kind of idea so vertical sections bringing into the previous making the sides a little bit lighter and just pulling that weight line up and i know there's going to be a question because because we're not following a very i mean we're following a strict guideline but it's not like a wet cut it's more uh sculpting it so a lot of people ask about you know when he comes back to get another haircut when he comes back to get another haircut i then assess the weight and how it's shifting in his hair at that time and then i go in and i do this similar technique but i just assess the weight differently because it may be sitting differently than it was today depending on when he comes back so you really just got to be more aware that every haircut is different i'm never mimicking the exact same haircut i did on the previous time we might be going to mimic the same look but it's not going to be the same uh cut exactly i think that goes into we try not to teach hair cuts we teach hair cutting techniques so that you can create any haircut because if you try to just cookie cut a haircut that you see then you're not going to get the same result the hair is going to be different uh the situation is different so you just got to be careful on that top of the ear tips we will be going over the ear in one second so you guys will see that and i'll go over that um let's see did you make your goal for your son's fundraiser yes we did he had six thousand and five dollars so he hit his goal thank you guys for that now i really want to pop some texture up on top i feel like this is what will really make this haircut kind of stand out um so i'll go through here and i'm not afraid to go a little bit shorter especially in the back area um because i think that plays well with the sides being kind of longer and kicking out and then we'll get a tad bit longer towards the front so as i work my way towards the front of the head i'll do a slight um over direction back which will push some extra weight towards the front some length in the front sweet read your mind how long have i been cutting your hair now it's got to be longer yeah so we've been here four years so yeah probably a long time five years that's right shrek's also on our softball team so not sure i did see that they started asking about it softball shape and life shape so now i cut across the top and overdirected everything back so now i'm going to work the sides here and connect it so what we did on the bottom and what we're doing on the top um i still want to keep that kind of a line but i'm just going to break it up you can see there's a longer point in there so that points what i cut into which will allow his weight weight line to shift more towards the top parietal ridge area of his head as opposed to sitting down by his ear take some of the weight in the back here and move it up just a little bit more like to see this shape here just sit a little bit higher so i'm going to go horizontally up cut across taking your section horizontally and cutting it here actually is a great way to create layering and push weight towards the bottom as well all right so now i'm going to do the bang area last i'm going to work through with texturizing scissors a little bit to add a little more softness and remove some weight from the outer edge because i like him having this kind of fringier look but i it shouldn't be thick that's kind of the goal there so we want to make sure to remove weight from the cowlick you have a cowlick yes thanks yeah he has a cowlick for sure he's actually got a cowlick under here which swirls up which is why it's always kind of good see how it combs up and over which is always a good reason to have a little bit longer hair through here and then he's obviously got the a pretty typical cowlick up here in the top area so now that i've got that nice and light what i'm gonna do is just now take the point of my scissor and cut into it it's better to do that once you've lightened it up than to go in and do that when it's super thick to the texturizing scissor we're just gonna work this through the back of the head if someone has a cowlick down there and they like their hair shorter what do you do so the thing i do with and you could actually go back in some of my videos i've cut brian's hair short before if you look up some of the men's cuts but what i like to do is especially with his hair is take it pretty short so what i'll do is i'll go in and that will be the shortest point that way the cowlick doesn't really affect it and then i'll take so let's say i cut this short under here let's say i cut this area short and it swirls just a little bit i'll then take his hairline and round it into that to try to take as much of this out as i can and then i'll comb down into it and trim her over comb it or something like that to take it a little bit shorter um not to totally take away the cowlick but just to kind of work with the way that it wants to shoot out of the head anyways and jess we didn't have a zoom class this morning so um so you didn't miss anything that's moved to next week now same thing on the opposite side i feel like when i do that brings the hairline too high so i think um i think we're talking about cutting into that cowlick that's you got to be careful you don't want to take the hairline too high i think that that's a balance that you have to kind of play around with that's why i wouldn't completely cut it out but just cut into it so it makes it a little bit smaller so so you're not working with so much of it now i'm going to go to the overhead here it's a nice zoom up on your sweet mask all right so now here's brian's calic area right there so what i want to do is i actually want to build up and kind of create quite a bit of texture in this area so i'm going to take a circle around it and this i really want to just deep point cut into because i want to create a pop of volume right around that calic i don't want it to lay flat so just kind of take those little circles out point cut into it it's that high depth all right a couple more moves we're going to make before the fringe so now i got a clipper and i like to use this tool to just do a little bit of fine tuning around the ears so you could use a scissor too but i just like to use the corner of the clipper and go into this to soften the edge even more so just kind of using every tool i have and this for me is just easier than uh than using a scissor around the ear because you you're not going to cut his ear most likely i mean don't attack his ear with it but if you just want to soften like i don't want to fully remove the the hair around his ear but i want to just kind of soften around it jess you're very welcome smomo thank you so much this cuts a little different than some i've done in the past because this is much more sculpting um but so it's a little harder for maybe some of you guys to grasp it but just think of it like section by section instead of an overall haircut like these little details that we're putting into it um and how you could use those in your day-to-day cuts so you can see the difference between like how this is sitting around the ear and how his other ear that i haven't touched yet you can see how kind of thick and it just covers his ear fully so we'll do the same thing real quick around that and then we'll move into the bangs we'll just work in the corner of that clipper just pinching sliding that texturizer through again guys this just lightens up the weight so anytime you're trying to soften something around let's say the ear or anything like that you've got to remove the weight that's sitting over top of it not the length the weight once you get the weight out of there then you just dust the length to whatever length you want but going in there and trying to cut around the ear with all that weight sitting there you're not going to get that nice soft result we're going to the front let's start working this fringe area so now you can see that couple of the things that we talked just slid again a couple of the things that we talked about um at the beginning that we liked was some of this like fringier look especially if you're going to throw a ball cap on or something it looks cool through it uh the weight how it was sitting now it's sitting much higher we could still go in texturize a little bit the fringe is side so it's going to be swooping over so how do we go in and cut that because brian has you know a finer hair fabric then what i'm going to do is actually go in just with my scissor and start carving out the fringe so this is kind of sitting where i want it then it gets a little bit longer so i'm just going to slightly go through half closing the scissor and working to put that line in hair over again you can see how that starts to create kind of a peaceiness to his fringe area then once i get the length kind of where i want it then i'll lift it and point cut into it is it inside here let me see if i can get it out i'm just going to torture you so that you're trying to hold in a sneeze the whole time beautiful hair so soft there you go thanks keep this out of your face i know but a little tease cutting i'm gonna tease cut all through this side a little bit because i just want to create and pop a little extra texture into the side of the head so a tease cut takes the hair like a trunk of it and you tease into it so it pushes some of the hair regular length and then cuts inside some other length so just creates a little texture it's a good question i was asking for that nothing there oh okay okay so the one thing guys is that brian came in with this haircut similar but longer right and kind of out of control so we just are putting it back on track trying not to cut into it too much to leave some length in there but also give it you know a little style a little texture make it easier for him he's going back into the world soon even in the world he's worked somewhere he's worked somewhere else but his main job hopefully is kicking back up soon point cutting into the back this little detail into the side i don't know just just is from australia by the way it's like it's like uh four o'clock in the morning yeah she's dedicated his tease cutting for bulk density shaping ends yes all of those things should make a video that shows the differences in all the texturing techniques and what the end result of them yeah i feel like that's a good one all these little details what you guys are starting to see that shape see how it's not super bulky and heavy in the back anymore it's all starting to make sense elbow bump all right so last little bit i'm just gonna really now just have some fun pop in a little texture to it because i want to create vol like when i put product in brian's hair i want it to have volume so um key thing here we already went through did that circle uh area around the top now i'm just going to point cut just a little bit more lighten it up even more not a frame i'm just going to point cut into it create a little bit more shorter pieces in there just that are kind of help mess up be a little spikier and somebody's asking like basically kind of a 90 degree question yes this is a very kind of 90 degrees out of the head haircut the biggest difference would be in the very back crown area that came more straight out of the head to drop some weight off in the crown other than that we go basically 90 degrees out from almost every point and then point cut into it right here just a little bulky deeper point cut now it falls nice and soft i think those bangs are going to be short enough that seemed okay probably yeah right the good thing is brian lives upstairs so he can always product choice today we're going to use reformer by mitch old mitchel mitch old faithful can you cut from inside hair above yeah that's kind of what we did all right so i take the mitch i'll explain a little bit more of that but uh i'm committed to the product in my hands right now so i'm going to start by working the product into the back um just to kind of with my fingertips because i i want to separate these pieces in the back um that's kind of number one number two i don't want to take a ton of bulky products in my hands and just go right into his fine hair with it because it will be too much too heavy so then once i get that then i start working it through the back in the top back start to create some peaceiness there and then i'll start running it through the top and i'll put it in his hair kind of like i was shampooing it in a way and just start working it down to the edges so here again just kind of work that product in he's not even going to wear it all forward but i'm putting it in forward because then i can work the hair back and get the product through the hair some more so you guys can already see all that texture starting to pop though that is the goal here we turn him to the side so see how the weight of this haircut starts to build in the back and then tucks in it gets like uh smaller it just gets smaller and then kicks out that's the goal of this uh shape in this haircut so you guys can see here let me see if i can again brighten it up lighting's weird so there you go so you can see how that pops in the back gets longer towards the outer perimeter and you come around to the side you see the shape that we put in there looks indie is that what we wanted all right he works at a brewery so you know yeah it's gotta be hip and then all these little pieces that we cut into it with the point cutting that's what you're kind of seeing pop a little bit throughout the top and that's why i like doing that on fine hair guys because then you get a little bit of volume from the accents of those pieces as opposed to trying to just bulk up the entire head yeah exactly you dig it all right let's put your glasses on you probably can't even see that you can see anything there it is oh check it out all right let's give you one more spin without the black cape on and what do you guys think let me know in the chat nice comments only yeah only accepting nice positive things positive vibes only um there you go looks like they like it that's cool sweet plus Beatles rock i love this cut looks india del yippee i wish yep cool they're just talking to each other they're not even really paying attention to us all right guys well i hope you guys enjoyed the class today um we had a ton of fun hanging
