 What's up guys welcome to today's vlog today I got something extra cool for you guys this vlog is all about scissor over comb so we're gonna do it some scissor over comb work but I also want to go over which scissors are my favorite for scissor over comb and why I like that scissor so we worked with our 5.7 inch db 20 scissor from Mizutani which is my favorite scissor you guys know of all time and then I have my six and a half inch blacksmith fit scissor from Mizutani and the Mac Daddy of all scissors the seven inch blacksmith fit solid scissor from Mizutani in the titanium finish so I'm gonna go through show you guys which scissor I love the most for scissor over comb and also why I love it and also show you guys a little bit of technique as well so let's get started with the video if you have any comments you want to ask questions post them in the comment section below I read every single one of them and I appreciate them thank you guys for watching here we go alright guys we're gonna start off by smoothing out the hair anytime I'm gonna do some scissor over comb work I like to smooth out the hair use a comb to blow it dry now we're using a paddle brush this is our ergo paddle brush on the top so I use a 339 comb to smooth out the sides which gets the hair going in the right direction and then I go over it with the paddle brush now I'm using the brocato vibra straight iron to just smooth out the top at the end of this video we are gonna have an end result I'm gonna style it up but really that top is just a nice disconnection so I use the vibra straight iron I like this iron because it vibrates as it passes over the hair creates less damage on the hair and a much smoother feel as it pull as it drags over the hair the way that I got this disconnected top was everything was over directed completely back over top of the crown and it just pushes all that length and weight gives me short layers on top and length in the front you can definitely check out that video on that full haircut on our channel I'll link the description to that below now we're gonna get started with our three different scissors you can see the DB 20 the blacksmith fit and the blacksmith fit solid all different lengths so we're gonna start off with our DB 20 5.7 inch now this is my favorite scissor that I have the only reason I don't use this for scissor over comb is because of the length as you can see when you have a shorter scissor and you're working scissor over comb the comb is longer and all I can get in there is about an inch and a half space with the blade as I'm cutting so it doesn't make the cutting as efficient when I go in with the six and a half inch scissor which is this one blacksmith fit I love this one for scissor over comb I'm not somebody that has to have a super long comb but you can see how much more reach I get with it along the comb and as I work up the hair so it makes my work and detail a lot easier so I'm gonna show you guys the blade up against the comb you can see how far that blade reaches across the comb now I'm gonna go with my seven inch you can see that blade reaches all the way across all of those wider teeth and that's really what I'm looking for when I go in to do the scissor over comb the thing with the blacksmith fit solid I do love this scissor a lot it has smaller finger holes so if you have a bigger hand I would definitely go with a DB 20 and a longer scissor there's a 7.2 inch there's also a 6.7 inch if you're looking for that so now I want to break down the technique so I want to go through a little slow motion with the video you can see that one blade stays very steady along the bone of my comb the bone of the comb is where that hair is gonna kind of gather together and then I use the my thumb blade to move up and down so it pinches that hair down onto the bone of the comb and that allows a clean cut so key things to focus on for scissor over comb is having a blade that is the right length also using wider teeth as you're working up the head shape keeping that steady blade along the bone of the comb and then only using that one blade as you move your thumb just practice that so I want to show you guys start to finish on the right hand side so we're gonna work through it I've got my seven inch blacksmith fit solid scissor so you can see how quickly and easily I can get this side of the head done I'm using the wide teeth of my comb keeping that steady blade steady on the bone of the comb and just powering through it you can see how far that seven inch blade stretches across so that's it shows you right there exactly why I like using the longer blade and how clean it looks in the end result so we're gonna go in with our brocato carved to style up the finished result nice little undercut feel to the hairstyle so I'm gonna add in a little bit of texture hope you guys like this video definitely let me know if you want to see more videos like this and check
