 What's up guys welcome to today's video so on today's video what we're gonna be focusing on is a one-length bob so we're gonna cut everything one length we're gonna cut the fringe as well so I think you guys are gonna get a lot out of the different techniques we use also understanding true one length and getting a nice clean line so we're gonna do that with a lot of dry detail work and also I'm gonna showcase a new product from Paul Mitchell called invisible wear so that'll be at the end as well so hope you guys like the video if you have any questions post them in the comments below and make sure you hit the subscribe button before you forget so you're always staying up to date with all the videos that we're creating let's get started with the video here we go alright guys so the first thing that we're gonna do to set up this haircut is to partly mannequin right down the center then we're gonna go right down center back as well the key thing for keeping this bob balanced is to make sure that the sectioning is balanced as well so right down center back then what I do is I draw a horizontal parting across the left hand side and I'm gonna do the same thing on the right hand side we're gonna bounce back and forth from the left hand side to the right hand side as we cut this to make sure that we keep it balanced throughout the entire cut so my scissor choice for this cut is the Mizutani Steven Moody edition scissor this is a brand-new scissor that we just got so I've been playing around with that I really enjoy the way that cuts it's a very slim scissor you can see how skinny it is and also it's nanopowder metal so it grips the hair really well and cuts these nice straight lines that I'm looking for so I go through I cut my baseline first then I go through the tip of the scissor and I just even everything out and draw that line across then I check it with my hands to make sure that we're balanced before I move on that's the key thing is not to skip any steps in a cut like this you want to really make sure that you have that balance before you move on to the next section because if you start the haircut off unbalanced it's gonna be completely unbalanced by the end so I go through cut at one length one thing that you're gonna see as I'm cutting is that I do a backhand technique on the right side and then on the left side I'm actually holding the scissor a little different than a lot of people would for me I'd like to cut hair comfortable so I find ways that make me more comfortable which makes me more consistent in my haircut so what I do is I bring the comb down I use the comb as my guideline and then I go with the scissor I use the I take my thumb out and I put it in the opposite direction what that does is it shifts my wrist down so it allows me to be more comfortable instead I have my elbow kicked way up in the air when I'm cutting the back portion of the haircut so that's just a tip for me that's something that I do some of you guys will be more comfortable doing it other ways so you know what I'd say is stick to the way that's comfortable for you you'll be more consistent in your cutting so now I bring a horseshoe section all the way around still only working about maybe an inch at the most based on the density of the mannequin so I'm not taking two biggest sections the other thing is you're working with head shape and you want to make sure that you're getting that kind of flow with the curvature of the head so small sections are gonna give you more success also the thicker the section you take the challenge that comes in if you take too thick of a section you're gonna start pushing the hair and then you're gonna get an uneven line so nice thin sections will give you more success in the cut so I keep working that horseshoe all the way around and just following my line now this is also a good way to practice so like let's say that you have a mannequin in the salon to go through and do this with a mannequin helps really work on your consistency because layering hides a lot of stuff so working on your combing your tension all that different stuff all these different techniques that it takes to create a nice straight line in a haircut it's such a good way to practice so if you have a mannequin laying around you could try doing this one length cut then go through and layer it later you know and create another cut with it but try this first because it'll really it really challenges you to get your eye right when you're cutting now as we move towards the top of the head shape what I'm gonna be doing is sectioning off the fringe which is a nice little triangle section right in the bang area and I section that off clip it away so that I'm not worried about cutting that hair right now then what we'll do is we'll go in we'll finish that outer perimeter so you'll see me going in with the point of my scissor now here's what happens the hair that's over top of the crown that's really at that high point of the head that's falling over I like to go in with the point of my scissor more than the flat of the scissor and the reason for that is it gives me a softer feel to the line so I can always go in and and cut into it and make it even a sharper line but that using the tip of my scissor gives me a little bit of freedom so that later on when I go in to cut it it I have an easier time cutting that straight line also using the tip of the scissor doesn't allow you to push the hair you're not trying to cut too much hair at once so just use that tip of the scissor then you can go in and redefine it with the flat part of the scissor later so to cut the fringe this part in the wet cut most mostly I'm gonna focus on this on the dry cut but for the wet cut I'm just stamping in the length that I want you guys could do this whole entire thing on the wet cut but I like to get the the length that I'm going for cut first and then the dry part of the cut is a lot easier because you already have your line now one thing with cutting the fringe is to make sure that you're not putting a lot of tension on it so what I do is I pick it up with my scissor I place it into the comb and then I cut it from there instead of holding it in my hand creating too much tension now this is the product that we want to focus on so it's invisible wear memory shaper the cool thing about the whole invisible wear line for palmichol is that it really leaves the hair undone looking so it creates a lot of texture a lot of movement and that's really cool for this type of cup because this cuts a very precise cut with not a lot of texture so being able to expand that texture out using a couple different products is pretty cool so I'm using these products to kind of fatten up the hair a bit to add that texture and just kind of show off the shape so we do a flat wrapping technique to keep the hair nice and flat but also using a vent brush to keep the root having a little bit of volume and then I work that front back and forth I'm really prepping myself to cut that fringe area so I wrap it back and forth on the head which is gonna kind of form the hair to the head shape and give me a nice curvature on the hair on the end style so I just work the hair back and forth you can see how it starts to form then I go in and I take my iron and I work a nice beveled edge on it and that'll help me with my dry cutting later as well so last little bit you can see the shine on the hair it's definitely got a lot of shine to it now I'm gonna go into the fringe and do the same exact thing but I'm gonna even out that line so now that I've really blown it dry nice I can just lift it up lightly use the wide teeth of my comb place the hair into the wide teeth and then use the flat of the scissor the key thing here is not to do too much elevation the more you elevate the more it layers it so keep it nice at let's call it a 45 degree angle kind of off of the head shape so just keeping it nice and low so that you don't get that layered effect in the fringe and I'll go through and I'll work that for about you know up to five minutes just really working and detailing that front part and we do the same thing on the outer perimeter so a lot of people think that the outer perimeter gets a nice defined line in the wet cut but that's not really the truth you cut the length that you want in the wet cut then you go through and do all of your detail work throughout the outer perimeter with your scissor on the dry cut so I do a nice finish then I use the tip of the scissor and I work my way all the way around the head shape probably spend another seven minutes cutting this part of the haircut so I'm showing you guys only a little clip of it but you really go around and define the line to get that nice precise feel now this is a cool product with invisible wear as well it's called pump me up it creates a ton of texture a lot of it really fattens up the shape it's a powder that goes into the hair and you can see how it adds texture even though we didn't create a really textured haircut so that's one of the cool things about that product so here's the smoothed out finish on the cut I hope you guys like this cut let me know in the comments below and also if you made it this far in the video I always love hearing that thank you guys so much for
