 Test, test, test. Hello. Hello. What's up guys? What's up everybody? Let's uh, let's blow up the chat real quick. I'm actually just finishing this section. Thought I would time that better, but it didn't happen. Did not happen. All right. Good to see all of you guys. Let me see. That's uh, yeah, there we go. What's up? What's up? Welcome to today's class. Super excited to be hanging out with you guys. I was just in a virtual, uh, hands-on class, so that's why I'm a little bit late. Sorry for that. Uh, my apologies. If you're an OG in the chat, you know I'm always late, so that's not new. And if you're new in the chat, welcome. Oh, I see all of you guys in there. Let me just, uh, pop some of your comments up into this show here. Jennifer, what's up? A shag. All right. All right. Best haircut for thin hair. Christine, I love it. Let me see if I can shrink that down a little bit. All right. Uh, before I get started, this show is brought to you by my friends at Minerva Beauty. Uh, if you're looking for salon furniture, check out MinervaBeauty.com. They're the best in the business. I've got all their salon, uh, furniture in my salon. Uh, it's beautiful.

So check out MinervaBeauty.com. Uh, and that's pretty much it. Now we're going to cut some hair. I'm taking requests today, guys. So if you guys have a request, um, let's see how many hair cuts. I don't know. Am I going to do one? Am I going to do five? I don't know. I don't know. We'll just see. I'm not sure. What's up? So post in the chat what you want to see. I've seen a lot of suggestions already. Lots of layers. Okay. Let's see. We'll see what happens. Marie, let's see. Shaggy style. I've seen a lot of shags in here. Um, I feel like I've been cutting shags non-stop lately. Um, let's see. Wish you could cut my hair. Becky, that's very nice. Um, let's see. Liz says long bob. All right. Jess, what do you got here? A medium curly shag haircut with a bit of a concave neckline, something bordering on a fashion mullet, but not quite major texture and volume. Very specific. Love it. All right. Faux Hoc from Chrissy. Cool. All right. What are we going to do? You guys got so many ideas. I want to start longer. So I'm going to do definitely a longer cut. Obviously I've got a long mannequin. Uh, and then let's see where we go from there. Um, I like the idea of a bob. I just cut a bob in the virtual class. We did a, uh, like an A-line graduated bob. So I don't want to cut that yet, but maybe I'll cut that in a little bit. Uh, I'd love for you to cut my hair. Bull cut. Nice. Ethan. Very cool. Um, Victoria Beckham cut. Did a lot of those back in the day. Uh, let's see. Very excited from India. Thank you for joining. All right. So this is the way the show works. And I really want to pump this up today. I've got you guys in the back. Look at that big screen. I put up a big, this is like a 65 inch television on its side. And I dropped it once. I'm not going to lie. I did. I dropped it on the ground, but I've got all your comments flying through. So while I'm cutting hair, I can now see your comments. Uh, I can see everything on the screen. So I'm here to answer your questions and also, um, so that's how the show works. You ask questions, I answer them, uh, as we get into the show, let's get as interactive as possible. I can also see the numbers of how many people are on here live. So this show doesn't cost anything for you guys. All it costs is a share. Just share the show as much as you can. Uh, let's have some fun. Let's learn. And, uh, that's it. If you don't know what to write, just put where you're watching from in the chat and then that way, you know, we can kind of go from there. All right. Going back up to your comments, I'm going to pick somebody's request here. Who's it going to be? Something a little bit longer to start. We got here, lots of people just saying layers and bounce cut. I'm not sure what that is. Somebody explain that to me, please. Heart bounce cut. See straight from heart bounce. Who is that? I'm going to look that up. All right, we're going over here. I'm going to show it to you guys from here. Look, you can see all of your comments. Let's see. Who's C straight from heart bounce? C straight. Hopefully this isn't anything bad from heart bounce. This isn't going to give me anything. You want to, you want to learn this one? We're learning about the bounce back from a heart attack? I have no idea. All right. Let's, let's, let's move on from that one. Thought that that would work out for us, guys. It didn't. That failed miserably. All right, let's see. New shag. I really want to, I love doing shags. Don't get me wrong, but the shag, we've been doing it a lot. So let's work. Just looking through, looking through curtain bangs. Love that idea. Curly shag. No bangs. Shag with no bangs. I'm going to cut one of those. V cut. You know what, Brie, or Bur, Bertie, Bertie? I haven't done a V cut since like 2016 on a video. So today I'm going to show you guys how to do V cut layers. Let's start there. Long layers, but we're going to have that V shape where it builds up heavier in the back, longer point in the back. Let's do that first. That'll be fun. All right. Cool. Thank you for being here. Thank you for making that request. Let me get to where I'm caught up here, caught up. Watching from the Philippines. Thank you so much for being here. All right. You guys are, you guys are blowing it up today. Thank you so much. Let's get started. I'm going to start by sectioning off the mannequin. Let me go here. So our sectioning is pretty standard. We've been doing this for a long time. Those of you guys that are OGs in the chat in the show, which basically means you're the originals. You've been watching this for 65 classes now. You guys know that this sectioning is pretty standard and I'm doing it on pretty much every single cut now because we're basing it on the head shape. So let me just start off by doing our sectioning and then we'll get into the cut. So sectioning, I section the fringe right here from the high point of the fringe. Basically what I'm doing is I'm separating the hair that wants to fall to the front from the hair that wants to fall into the sides. So it's a U shaped section from the edge of the hairline. You can see right here. So it goes straight down the hairline and follows all the way through and it goes up and around and then connects to the opposite side right here all the way through. Now what we're going to do is we're going to separate the front and the back. So separating this line here down to the hairline in the back here. So let me take my section and remember oh yeah and if you guys have questions type Q and put in your question. So a Q before the question this way when I see it fly through in the chat because there's a lot of you guys on here today. If I see it fly through in the chat I can see it easier if there's a Q in front of it. So just type Q put in your question. All right separating the front and the back. So I'm going to take a line from this high point this hair that wants to fall into the back and I'm going to draw a line down. Try to nail it right on the hairline here. I'm going to go a little bit further over just like this. Sometimes I nail it first try sometimes it takes me 45 tries. Let's see that's pretty good. All right so now I'm going to take this hair that's on the side here. I'm going to comb it straight out. I want to grab a little bit more from the top. There we go. All right so I comb this hair straight out and when we clip hair away and we section it away we want to make it nice and tight. So I go right to the root of the hair. I comb it out like this. So nice and tight and then I twist it like it's a ponytail and I keep twisting and I twist it right up into itself. Clip it away. So there's our next section. So basically what I'm doing if you guys haven't noticed here's the side section the fringe section and now I've got my back section. All of these sections are all the same density. So this one is this dense that has this much hair from this point all the way around to the side. The side section has this much density all the way across and then you've got your fringe. Now we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side here. Jacqueline thank you so much appreciate the nice words there. So we're going to go straight from the top and find our hairline again. Same thing we did on the opposite side and this is all the hair that wants to fall into the back so basically what you can see is that we're creating a line vertical from the hairline up where the hair wants to fall and then we're going to comb this side section out up and then twist it and clip it away. Beauty professionals for life just so you know I went to beauty school in Iowa. It's a very good very good research there but I do live in PA now. All right so comb the hair down. Now how do how do we get the V shape in the back what are we going to do we want to push the weight to the center we want to push the length to the center so how are we going to do that we're going to do that using over direction. We also I'm not going to worry about the outer perimeter line I'm going to focus on that after the cut or when we get it blown dry. So let's see. All right here we go. Let me pop to the overhead because I'm going to share with you guys kind of how I'm going to over direct everything. So you take it right here and this is kind of our midpoint this is where that hairline is so that's where I'm going to start my sectioning so what I'm going to be doing is instead of over directing everything straight back or wherever we go I want to push the weight to this center back so how do you push the weight to the center back you pull the hair you cut it here and when you cut it it's going to over direct the hair so the longest part is going to be stretching across and over here you cut it and it gets longer into the back that's what we want to do with our layering first so what a lot of people do when they want to cut this V shape is they go into the hair and they start kind of directing it like this and then just cutting what that does is not wrong it just cuts a line so we're going to cut that line later but what it does is it gives it too much weight and then they start layering it and the layering doesn't really match the outer perimeter what I like to do with my shapes now and kind of something that I've started really working on is having my interior shape match my exterior line if that makes sense so here we go and we're going to cut the sides after so I'm not really worried about the sides yet we're going to cut into the back first so here we go just want to make sure I have the right angle for you guys here so just like this so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take a vertical section on the side and elevate it up grab my scissors what is the technique for the Karen cut that's so funny I'm the best Karen cutter there is if you look on YouTube I got a million Karen cuts with millions of views there's lots of Karen's out there lots of Karen's all right here we go so what I'm going to do take my first vertical section just want to share this with you guys the best way so I'm trying to find my angle here so let me take my section first vertically just like this and I'm not really worried too much about the outer perimeter at this point so I'm going to take my vertical section straight like that twist the head here here we go so now I'm going to elevate the hair up so just like this the brightness camera straight up and now I'm going to cut a line and what I want this line to look like is kind of a slight diagonal working with the head shape so I do want to have it kind of collapse a little bit so I'm looking at the round of the head here and I want to bring this line out so let me show you less talking so here's my line so this is 90 degrees out from this point but it's way more than 90 degrees out from this point so what I'm going to do is I'm going to draw a straight line across which will have a nice seamless layered effect but then collapse as it goes out to that exterior line which is fine because I want less weight around the exterior line so when I go to do my detail work so I'm going to go here and I'm going to start to cut and I'm going to do this I'm going to cut a precision line I don't know why I'm deciding to do that I'm going to cut into I want to do some dry cutting texturizing she's got more like medium kind of low density so I also don't really want to want to keep some of that blunt edge to it so there we go so there's the line so it goes short to longer this is going to be the shortest point of the cut right here and then I'm going to bring everything kind of use it as a stationary guide at this point and I'm just going to pivot off of this section so let me go to the top view here all right so top point here right down and we're going to over direct it to that stationary guide there we go so watch what happens so we bring this over up to that stationary guide and cut and then grab the hair from underneath here bring that with us and we're just continuing that line to work it out all the way to the ends so just make sure that you continue that pattern so let me show you this front view here go here now it's still pivoting off that top point all the way down and I'm going to comb the hair over like this keeping that stationary guide there we go trying to look okay how how is the elevation taken savannah good to see you so the elevation I mean the elevation is pretty pretty noticeable here so everything's coming up so this line we're creating is all right here and it just works all the way across so if I put her head straight on like this comes up this is the line that we're cutting we're not we're not derailing from that line all this hair comes up and we cut we cut ourselves and there's not much to cut towards the ends that's the longest piece so I just finished my section from the center back and if I clip this part away so I can show you guys the line that we've created here all right so you'll start to see especially within the layers the short to longest point be a little harder to see until we get that outer perimeter but if I shake it up a bit you guys should be able to see it so here is our shortest point and then the layers get longer and longer towards the outer edge so that's the start of our v okay here we go same thing on the opposite side how do we find our guideline pretty simple if I pull up from this center point here I can get my guide so from right here I'll grab the piece that we cut and I'll grab another piece from the opposite side here so just grabbing a horizontal little section and then there is my guide I'll cut that and then when I take this section up I know where to start from so I'm going to be cutting this section in front of the client a little bit so I'll be off to the side but I'll be bringing it here to cut my line we're going to go just like this draw another vertical section to start the second side and now you just need to make sure that you cut at a very similar elevation as you did on the opposite side so I'll be able to see my guide right there and I'm going to cut straight across just like this and then I'll bring up the rest of that section and I'm going to continue that line bringing it to me we're not rounding this off so don't drop your elevation towards the end keep that continuous line through now we're pivoting just like the other side we're pivoting all the way down I clip this hair away so you guys can see it better but it's a stationary guide so everything's coming around to me love watching all you guys chatting it up talking it up in there all right just continuing through so another pivot all the way down to the hairline comb the rest away all right so we got quite a few people on here it's good to see all of you guys thank you so much for joining us thank you for those of you that are hanging on the Minerva page as well on Facebook welcome I'm live on the Minerva Facebook every Tuesday at this time so you guys are ever looking for education I mean I'm live on all our channels and Minerva as well throughout the rest of the week I'm live on freeslaw education here we go cutting across and see that top layer if you look at it it's got that short to long feeling one more section center back bring the hair around all this hair those you guys just tuning in aren't sure what I'm doing here we're cutting a v-shape cut so you can see this layering how it's starting to get oh short to long there so we're creating a length into that center back that'll be our heaviest point and then I'm gonna go in and cut the outer perimeter to match the interior layers so let me see so let me see I'm gonna see if I can throw up any questions here see if we've got any see here that's right Jess I like the way you think share away let's see how many people we can get on here can we get up to a thousand we've got about 700 throughout social right now let's see if we can get a thousand people on here share it as much as you can tag you on instagram curly shad cut I did in a class today definitely nine out of ten ten out of ten Jess you always put a cue before a not question it's like the it's it's a cried wolf thing it's it's literally a cried wolf thing so I'm gonna start seeing your cues and I'm not gonna look I'm just kidding good job nine out of ten is good ten out of ten is good uh first guide top section okay is the first guide of the top section cut from 90 from the head shape and the perimeter over directed at that point yes that's exactly right very cool zoom out Claire I hope I zoomed out for you hope I did it let's see I think it's 90 actually yeah it was 90 and then it builds from that so it's it's an angle like this so 90 would follow the head shape this was built from 90 but then straight out so just be aware of that all right cool so you can already when I shake this you can see that that shape you can see where it gets more dense in the middle here but it's less dense to the outside you've got these shorter layers in the interior and then it definitely kind of dies out and gets a little like less you could see why that kind of keeping it above 90 it skinnies this up for us to do our detail work later on all right so now we're going to move into the side section and drop down my left hand side here spray this down a little bit so Lynn cutting club so I got some some fun announcement for

then it'll log you in so um lots of cool things coming in the future of FSE now uh real soon all right so I did a diagonal back parting and so I'm going to bring everything over to this point because what I want to do is I want to cut some shorter layers in the front and then I'm going to attach those a little bit to the back but I'm not worried about this back section because it's nice and long so here's one thing I want you guys to understand I don't need to connect these two things yet I'm going to do that in the dry cut I want to determine what length I want the very sides to be and how that's going to work right so we're going to go like this and I'm going to bring the hair forward like this and I'm going to start to cut now if your client likes the v shape but they want longer hair in the back then obviously you take this longer you cut your line and now you've got longer hair on the side so they don't feel like they don't have any hair up front that's a big deal for people that have this v cut is they some people cut it too short I'm going to cut it a little shorter just because I want I'm going to shift my finger angle to to push a little bit extra length so I'm going to go just like this and cut my length right about there this will be past the shoulder just she didn't have a choice or a preference so and then you can see my line how it starts to go back but then it's this is longer I'm going to cut into that in the dry cut so I'm going to use that as my guide keep combing everything diagonal back bring it to my stationary guide here in the front just like this and you can point cut this if you want to soften it a little bit I'm going to say so Diana I see your high and tight fade I saw somebody else say something about a fade I don't really teach fades so but I will I'll get somebody up here or on here some at some point soon to do some men's cutting for you guys I do men's cutting but I do more salon salon ish which would be a little more lived in texturized men's cutting longer men's cuts do those as well here we go last little bit cut and then now I've got my layers that also move towards the back of the head these layers are a little bit shorter we'll assess that when we get into it but I don't I don't want to have two less a little density right here on the corner so now I'm going to move to the opposite side I'm going to do the same thing bring this hair over to me Savannah you're welcome actually which guideline so the guideline here is really again how long your client wants their hair to be in the front so you got to be careful like you don't want to always cut this the same so my guidelines coming from me just kind of assessing where I want my client's hair to sit now I've got to match both sides up so I'm going to wet this down and then we're going to go through here section diagonal back again on this hair back clip it away and then I'm going to bring this forward so now how do we judge how long this side is going to be how do we match it up so what I'll do is I'll hold the hair out in front I'll kind of get an idea of where that is they don't have to be exact they just have to be very close so I think people stress a little too much on that if you wanted to you could find a piece like around the face and then cut them both the same length use that as a guide I find just kind of eyeballing it and making sure that my that it's hitting around the same spot works best for me so that's kind of my strategy there all right so I'm just going to work my way up the head just like this see I'm going to get some music on here this is like the weird one go here yeah that's good that's good all right so still working diagonal back here we go to the front cutting the hair following that guy I'm just working all this hair this is more condensed cutting so I'm not really that worried about how much hair I'm taking as long as I can see that guy through it comb it forward and cut so now I'm going to let down the fringe I want to tie the fringe in a little bit but I want the fringe to be nice and light um because I don't want to have any issues with it wanting to fall backwards all right I'm not feeling that song I'm sure you guys aren't either nope that's sounds pretty good it's a blow dry song but it's all right so here we go let out the fringe and I'm going to bring one side over connected to this guideline that we just cut so I'll grab a little bit of this hair here I'm going to bring it right in front where I just cut I don't want to really create a fringe yet maybe we'll do that in a little bit but so I'll cut it here in front of her face and I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side same thing over here bring it over I'm going to cut it so I go past some of this hair because it was part of the uh the other part of the fringe and I don't want to cut into that I'm going to do a ton of dry cutting so right now I just wanted to take a little bit of that length off all right so now I'm going to blow dry and then we're going to cut do a bunch of dry cutting in there so don't go anywhere add a little bit of product all right so I'm going to use a little bit of this joyco defy damage protective shield run that through the hair this helps with heat uh heat damage it gives me a little bit of a hold but I personally just love it for the heat damage part of it and I don't want too much hold in the hair at this point when I'm blowing it dry if I was going for a ton of volume then obviously I would want a lot of that all right here we go I think it was Liz was asking is this human hair it is it's a pivot point yes it is um it's a pivot point mannequin um all human hair almost there almost there let's see nope every time exciting stuff here so I hope you guys enjoyed that little blow dry dance party uh whatever you guys want to call it in the chat uh saw some dance emojis there we are now going to do some dry cutting I did see a question in the chat where they were asking if any of the haircut was done and why would I do dry cutting so I don't like to fully finish haircuts wet so all the structure is done but outer perimeter line is not done the fringe is not done um layers are probably going to be textured a little bit so here's the one thing I would say that if you want to stand out as a hairdresser for sure um it's all in the details the details of what you do um in every haircut color whatever it is the time that you take um don't rush through things and that's like you know and I understand that in some places people have to cut hair really fast um and that's fine uh you have to come up with new ways of like getting the job done maybe you need to cut the perimeter wet um I feel like if I I did that haircut and probably in the sun I do it in like five minutes um that part of the cut and then I would spend some time blowing it dry spend some time smoothing it out like you're watching me do now and then I would spend probably 15 minutes cutting it dry um or less but because I find the dry cutting part so important because that's how you're personalizing the cut to the client so that's where you really see the density like I can see how weak her hairline is um you know or the outer perimeter is how the layers are stacking up um you know like all that stuff you can't really see that wet so going through and doing it that way is really helpful uh Claire this is the Dyson uh Corral straightener um I'll say good things about it but I'll also tell you that they sent it to me for free so um and it's a very expensive tool so I like to preface with know that as I'm telling you that I like it I mean obviously I like it I'm using it um but I think I technically legally have to say it um it's $500 so I don't know like I would buy it there are other things I would buy before but if I had everything and I love technology and I love the latest tools then yes I would buy it and I've I just bought another one and I paid for it um so so that I could have one as well um for other things so you know it's a it's a great I mean it's cordless so you got that part it has flexible plates so like when I'm running uh it down the hair it's so smooth it feels like I call it like the Cadillac of straighteners I did a full review of it on my youtube channel um but like you don't even really feel it when it goes across the hair now here's a little thing when you take it out of the box and use it for the first time you'll know with most straighteners it gets it's very sticky in the hair but then after using it a few times it's so smooth so just takes a little a little work in it get the plates probably whatever the coating is on the plates you got to wear it down a little bit um I don't know the technical process of that so just smoothing it out my process of smoothing is to just slightly bend the hair to follow the head shape this is also why I say it's not done yet I've got all my stuff in the way that I want it so pretty much my angle my fringe gets a little bit longer than there's the the start of my face frame that gets longer so basically I have three steps right now and I'm going to connect all those steps together um in the cut and the dry cut see if I can see your chats here let me go to the other side Lynn you should not drive you should not drive in chat let's go here where's the get no oh yes that's it should Lynn drive in chat no no do I appreciate it yes but don't do it I'm working through it guys we're getting there cut number one choppy layered 90s Meg Ryan haircut Melissa I like the way like the way you're thinking there the salon's 10 minutes from my house you know most car accidents happen a mile from your house that's what they say google it google it I'm reading that thank you do I wish I was done ironing yes so I could cut some more yes do you guys wish I was done ironing yes and feel it through your keyboards did I use heat protectant first yes I'll show you which one uh Tracy I used uh joyco defy damage protective shield one of my favorites I've really met a uh protectant that I haven't liked really but I do like that one what's your guys's favorite uh thermal protector why don't you post that in the chat love to see that and if you don't have a favorite thermal protector what is your favorite product line let's put that in there I wish I could do like a pole or something better iron it straight or curved it's a great question um so it I slightly curved the hair so if you see when I take my section here when I pull the hair down I'll put it in the iron but then instead of just going straight down I give it a slight bevel I'm gonna take two passes on this one and let you see so you see how it's just got a slight bevel to it it's not a curl like a lot of people when they're ironing hair they'll either twist it too much and they give it too much of a curl or they'll straighten it too much you want to have a nice little slight bevel goes with the head shape that way when the hair falls it falls in its most natural uh way joyco dream blowout that's a good one color wow products okay davaness like davaness right I'll have to press by palm Mitchell one of my favorites one of my favorites a couple more sections and we will be ready to start cutting this dry the dry cutting will commence okay l'oreal I wish I could cut a mid-length choppy a la Jennifer Lawrence let's go on I'm sure what Jennifer Lawrence has been doing with her hair lately all right this is gonna look super cool guys psyched about it love once I get it smooth so you guys can start seeing it come to life redkin all right we're all across the board in this room I love it you got all walks of life everybody's hair spray smells a little different how do you know what products not to put together Angie that's a good question I don't I mean it's very rare I think it's more like what product is wrong for the guest than what products can't go together so I think products as long as the right for the guest can always for the most part go together I I wouldn't know how to tell you which ones wouldn't go together matrix all right we got a matrix vote we got a wella all right the dell all right youtube's killing it I would say they're the biggest sharers of the day so far those of you guys on free salon education uh facebook are doing a good job my personal facebook is struggling today right if you're on my facebook if you're watching the uh map back official facebook page let's hit that share button and start talking on there because it's looking a little weak it's been weak the last couple days I mean it's only like 50 down from free salon education but let's hit that share because we're about to have some fun in the dry cut all right let's go yes last little bit let me actually show you guys what's happening here see that v shape in the inside it's happening so let's get to uh cutting dry so I've got my dry cutting scissor here and I want to talk about the wet cut that we did first real quick let's break it down because I've got this uh part here which is the face frame area which drops my weight there then I've got my shortest layer it goes back up so you can kind of see where that dip happens I want to keep a little density here and then we start to get that v shape happening right about there so what I'm going to do with just some of this weight is just slide cut into it so what slide cutting is right here is taking my scissor so taking my scissor half opening or opening fully half closing so I'm going to half close and slide my hand down so just like this slide my hand down pinch the hair where it's bulky so I feel it bulky right there pinch it slide half closing slide half closing and really I'm just taking a little bit of that bulk out not too much and it's just a soften that connection point between the shorter layers and the longer layers from this face frame that's the only reason I'm doing it I wanted this face frame to be a little bit longer than the layers that are back here if I would have matched it up exactly her layers would have started this short and went there and connected so instead of doing that I cut longer ones which then gives me a little bit of weight back there you could also layer them out probably to remove that I just find it easier do a stationary guide go through do a little bit of this dry cutting and you're good to go with your look at that point so that's the first little tip there we still haven't cut into our hairline yet just a little bit of slide cutting we do the same thing on the opposite side we got the same weight issues over here comb the hair down you can see that weight those layers you can see where we dropped it off longer there so I just go in cut into it just like that okay now I've done some of that now I want to work on that fringe area and then I'm going to cut my outer perimeter so the fringe we have to decide do we want a straight fringe or not a straight fringe do we want a side bang or like a curtain opened up fringe I think for this cut because it's balanced into a v shape in the back I like to try and cut it as a curtain fringe so we're going to do that today so remember we took some of that bulk out but I haven't really cut the fringe yet so now we're going to go like this back out of it a little bit and I'm going to do a little bit of point cutting I would do tease cutting would probably be my move but some of you guys don't like tease cutting like you don't do it so I want to show you how I would do it if I didn't here we go okay so here we go so I'm going to grab diagonal diagonal back parting I'm going to elevate the hair slightly just like this elevate the hair up across over top of the edge of this eye and I'm going to point cut right parallel to that parting a nice soft point cut I'm going to grab another slight diagonal bring the hair over right over the edge of that eye these clips will be available guys on our shop soon these are some FSE clips dry cutting clips and working on getting them they're cool they're metal they're heavy duty and then a little bit more what I'm looking for remember our beginning sectioning is to match up with that hairline once I match up with the hairline I'm done there we go bring it over to me point cut I don't really want this to be too much of a line I like it nice and soft so there's my angle comb that over and now it's connecting into the rest of the haircut so you can see that now take this clip out section this part of the hair away I'm gonna do the same thing on the opposite side here so diagonal forward or diagonal back sorry guys I've now been live on the internet for since 11 a.m so please excuse my crazy thoughts all right number five and no marks in the hair yeah no marks in the hair that's that's the goal it's got a flat top to it so over top of the eye and point cut your line same thing drawing over waiting to get to that hairline area over there this is the last bit now we're at that hairline you guys are liking this so far let's put a hundred in the chat if you like it if you don't you'll love the next one right you will love the next one all right yeah gotta have something in my ears besides the Dyson iron screaming at me all right so let me smooth these uh bangs out a little bit so you guys can see how they fall see how they run I'm coming iron I'm coming I'm still here all right so start to iron them out a little bit all right starting to look good here let me see if I can cut up on here awesome Laura and cut yourself Pamela thank you and thank you we got a show and uh emojis she might be on her computer maybe that's why and Jackie and Andrea Erica on medium hair I might take another request I'm not sure yet feeling it feeling it we'll see blunt bang I like blunt bangs too but the problem with the blunt bang is it ruins the mannequin because then you can't do anything with it all right so I want to do a little bit of softening of the layers so I'm going to elevate them uh up real quick do a little point cutting so this is where you can see like this was my layers from the back and this is what's happening in the front don't cut that right so let that kind of fall I let that fall out the back I'm fine with the front I want to lighten up a little bit a little bit of point cutting I know this is going to drive some of you nuts that you're not connecting this fully it doesn't need to connect because there are two separate things remember we section off the side because it only has this much density so I like the layers being a little bit longer because it fills in the gap if I cut it this short all over the front it's going to have no density whatsoever so it's really kind of important to make sure that you don't cut into uh you don't cut you don't connect it razor cut maybe I'll do a razor cut next it's a good idea all right so that's that side do the same thing on this side softening not changing the line just softening it a little bit Andrea thank you appreciate it low maintenance short haircut I think low maintenance short haircuts are are tough because I feel like short haircuts are more maintenance so that's what I would tell my client a short low maintenance like haircut to me is something that like my wife has super long hair she doesn't have to she doesn't cut it very much like once every six months that's low maintenance but low maintenance I think can also be you know easy to style in the morning she doesn't have an easy time styling because she has a lot of hair so you know low maintenance could be that too um so it could be easier to style that's probably what you're saying I'm realizing it I don't know if you guys noticed but I was realizing that as I was saying it okay last couple steps we're gonna work this hairline so few things I'm gonna do I'm gonna take out some of these pieces just give a little separation love like cutting into this part and then as I get into this back portion what I will do because she would normally have shoulders so you have to take that into consideration um is bring some of this over into the front so I'd have her take her shoulders out of the the equation I'd have her turn her head her shoulder would still be here and I'd bring all this to the front or I'd comb it straight down in the back which um let me see if I have something that would allow me to this is what I did in 2016 I put something back there to cut again so I just don't know if I have anything handy here I don't see anything I don't want to take too much time so yeah okay so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put anything back there but if I were to put this against her back then I would uh just cut it along her back that way like this I'm gonna hold it in my hands instead because I don't she doesn't have a back it's not her fault she was made that way don't blame her uh stern stern we are cutting a v-shape haircut so what I want to do in this v-shape to create it you can see that it's already pretty much there but I don't want it to be shattered like this I want it to be a pretty pronounced v-shape so I'll section her straight down center back first like that I'm going to kind of clip the rest of this out of the way here and then I'm going to work this side of the head first so bring the hair down and connect it just little by little drawing that v-shape in so again this would already be kind of over her shoulders and then I would just comb it back to the back of her shoulders and I would literally just cut this line in but because she doesn't have them I'm pretending I'm using my hand as a shoulder and I'm going to cut this blunt line to connect it all together once you take the weight out of this haircut by doing these layers and having the layers kind of come back to these could be a little bit longer too if you wanted once you do that it makes it a lot easier to cut your v-shape in when you try to do that in super thick hair you just get this kind of bulky blunt feel so it's just so much easier to do it on layered hair same thing with a bob like if you if you cut with a little bit more elevation it's a lot easier to put in that line there continue to the back and I'm going to connect these two points so longest point is here and then it goes up from there you got your v longer hair into the back let me go back out of here so here's the deal so let me know if you like it give me a hundred in the chat if you're liking it I may cut another cut let me know if you want to see that too say cut cut again or cut another one whatever you want to say in the chat make it go bald nice um so here you can see it's a little bit heavier and hit it with a little bit of spray so you guys can see like a full full effect let me use a little bit of dry spray wax this is joyco as well I'm going to try my hardest to keep it in her eyes so you guys can freak out we can have a little internet internet upset episode I don't know about you guys but I am actually I'm digging it I'm really this is way better than it was in 2016 you guys want to watch that version just go on the youtube channel and type in v cut it's okay she's not driving right can you imagine if she had these in her eyes and she was texting and driving oh peg's dancing all right peg look at this digging it v shape all right I'm feeling good today oh let me get this camera back on I think it's like because it's cooling off outside too like I look a little sweaty I'm a little glossy I don't put makeup on before these shows but I uh um I'm feeling good I don't feel like hot I don't feel I feel like I can keep going strong my hair is a little out of here out of control so we want to cut mine yikes uh why the bulk in the back so linda let's talk about this linda let's talk about it uh the bulk in the back is part of the v so for me I like having uh you know like that kind of bulkiness to kind of show the out like let's say that this is like sitting on her on her back and it's kind of flowing down you could have these layers longer like don't here here's the other thing I want you guys to understand you don't have to cut it like this and please for the love of everything don't cut it like this just use this as inspiration but if this starts to like kind of build up like it could have some volume in here it could pop up like it's got really cool like kind of fun shape to it when it swings it still has that v shape so you can see those interior layers and it just keeps that density and just it's really fun like for me it just gives a purpose to this cut it's not just all layered up so she's dancing um all right I'm inspired to cut sterling awesome it's so good to hear all right so the skin won't look totally shiny are we talking about makeup because just so you guys know I will never put makeup on for these live shows I just won't I'm not comfortable I can't breathe my skin can't breathe I don't know how anybody wears makeup or chapstick or anything else all right here we go so do you guys want to see another cut let me know in the chat uh let me know

one show before today's the first and we're doing it let's do this what time is it two o'clock all right all right here we go ready this will be a quicker cut um I'm gonna do a bob with a razor I'm gonna use this doll I'm gonna keep this one because I'm gonna color this one I think I'll do a color technique for you guys soon with this one all right let me grab a head all right so this is pivot point a little unboxing for you guys here Laura the name of the app is fse now so just go on the app store and download it just type in fse now if that doesn't work type in free salon education if that doesn't work email me email me all right here we go and the cutting club is going to be awesome guys so like today I did a zoom uh with a bunch of stylists they're in our my fundamentals class um you also will get access to the fundamentals class um if you're a part of it I think I think I might be talking too much now but um you'll get access to all that stuff and then so this is the Gwen mannequin from pivot point um I wish they would send me some more I paid for all of these it's very expensive and I promote them a lot so you guys just send them my way send them over um what's your email matt matt at freesaloneducation.com all right so this is the Gwen mannequin I like her because her hair is longer than the Erica so I use the Erica forever plus people started yelling at me because I would wear black clothes and she had dark hair now they don't yell at me and I don't have to wear a white shirt so that's the other benefit of the Gwen uh so the length of the hair she's got a little bit less hair than Erica which I like um just for videos in general and that's it Cheryl I can't wait to tell you I can't wait to tell you but it's just not yet um soon enough okay so I'm gonna wet her down let me do that I'm like worried about you guys wanting to see another video but then I'm like you wouldn't be here if you didn't so I think we're good right can you join FSE even if you do not own a salon yeah you don't have to own a salon um you should be a pro stylist to join um we're coming out with a consumer uh side of it where you learn like maybe styling techniques but not obviously how to cut hair um and get inspiration and get connected to stylists so that's coming too um but you don't have to own a salon um you put in your personal or your salon number whatever whatever you want clients to contact you with but honestly wait they don't even we took that away so they don't even contact you through your salon or your phone they contact you through the messenger on FSE now so don't worry about that all right can we get continue if anybody has any ideas um how I can make these get continuing education hours I don't really know how yet and I haven't looked into it so um I need to do that why don't you do a live model I will do live models I just did uh shot a youtube video with a live model the other day here's the reason why I don't now because if you guys were on the class where I had to wear a mask and teach that wasn't fun so um I like doing mannequins because uh this girl has no opinion you guys said you want to see a razor cut and whatever and you want it to be a bob or whatever I can teach it to you if I had a model I couldn't do that she would have a she would have lots of opinions or I have to pay her lots of money so uh this girl is perfect because she doesn't have an opinion she's perfect for the job where can I get my haircut in Monroe Michigan Janet just go to stylist locator hopefully there's a stylist on there if not maybe there's a stylist on here right now that can reach out to you uh that's close but go to stylist locator.com and you should should be able to find somebody Pamela it's kind of easier to manipulate the mannequin but like I said it's more the um being able to uh do whatever I want to it that's that's the key I like teaching I don't really like if I wanted to cater to whatever somebody wanted and it like some girls will come in they just want to trim you're trying to teach something um I I could do that behind the chair and I charge them for it here we push the envelope a little bit tripod I do the same uh same company so it's a pivot point so this is a pivot point tripod as well all right we're ready got a mess in here it looks like a hair war see where I'm at I'm gonna do so I got a few different razor tools I'm gonna use see here here we go I'd love to see curtain bangs in a shag haircut Kelly if you look up curtain bangs in a shag haircut on our YouTube channel I've got so many videos I would love to do one live for you um we definitely just need to uh I think it's just going to have to be a different class only because because I've just done it so many times so I don't want to I don't want to repeat because what I'm doing also is filming all these cuts uh so I'm taking you guys on my journey and I will be cutting these cuts out for for the latest YouTube videos that will be on the channel so this will be cut into like a 12-minute tutorial Glen soaks up the water that's for sure normally I don't spray down an entire mannequin uh today I did because I didn't want to leave you guys but normally I would take her to the bowl my floor is so if I trip and fall just uh somebody call somebody call for help hey you guys ready say yes in the chat yes Kelly maybe I'll get down to a pixie cut we'll see uh we'll see how I feel after this one all right so sectioning let's go straight down the center here I want to slow down the pace a little bit um it's first off I don't want to wear myself out and I don't want my work to be compromised here so we're gonna go we're gonna slow things down sound good so I'm gonna be using the carving comb today so this has a 100 cutting side and a 50 carving side I'm parting down the center and I'm really just doing the sectioning that I always do so you guys I really want you guys to get kind of this sectioning ingrained in your brains so that you uh you use it so right at the fringe you're here for the first cut just going right down straight down to the hairline so just like that and I'm gonna clip this away I can use the carving comb to comb this out all right see that we are ready we are ready yes Michelle I like that all right comb the hair out here's section one I'm gonna put this fringe section together today so here's our fringe what's going to be hilarious is if Minerva jumps on here and they're like is he still going because that's probably gonna happen just remembering I'm still on their uh their facebook as well there's still some people there still on their facebook there's no rules on mine but I probably should ask them all right so there's the fringe section and now I'm gonna split the head in half here so I found the hairline so we got the hairline here all the way up draw the u across back down the other side same way so just like this and now I'm looking for the hair that wants to fall into the side and I want to match up a vertical line down to the hairline in the back comb that hair up and clip it away you guys are going to have dreams about this sectioning all right so here's the hair that wants to fall in the back down to that hairline see the same thing on the opposite side here is zelda yeah I'm still on I'm going haircut number two here zelda I've been live since 11 a.m we're going to break records today so one thing I haven't said to you guys is if you're looking for tools you can go to our shop shop fse.com all the tools you see the clips the combs everything is on there so if you don't need anything don't buy anything but if you need something buy it from us comb the hair up nice and tight at the root and then spin it and clip it all right feeling good there we go all right so now what we're going to do is section straight down the center back so look at this and it matches up on both sides so it's a section separating the front and the back so we've got the front section this is all the same density here and then you've got the back section that has this much density all the way through follows that hairline straight up and around does the same thing on the fringe follows the hairline straight up and around now we go straight down center back and what I'm going to do then is clip away one side so I'll comb this side nice and tight over here like that so I'll comb the hair nice and tight right from that root area over and then I'll slide a clip up underneath that'll keep that side out of the way and we're going to start on this side so now that we kind of know that we're working from the left hand side over I'm going to take a nice slight diagonal let me show you better zoom in there we go Bob Andrea that's the best Bob with razor machine that's what we're doing that's what we're doing for sure let me go here I love how straight your partings are Katie thank you for holding me to that so I don't veer off appreciate that all right and everybody remember download the app fse now and all the tools that I'm using are on shop fse you can pick them up there okay installing now thank you thank you thank you thank you Zelda I love your excitement today okay so here we are so there's our first parting what I want to do is I'm going to take a slight diagonal forward section like that out actually I'm going to change this up I want to show you guys something that we can do with this razor here so I'm going to go a little more diagonal forward pop it over here pop it like it's hot I have no idea why I just said that that would uh it's a cringe moment right there I felt it myself okay over here combing the hair nice and tight work that hair tight over this is the biggest thing that I see with hairdressers and the way that they section hair it's the number one thing that we talk about in our virtual classes and in the cutting club which is coming up um is getting this hair nice and tight over here and section and ready for your next combing so now it's clipped away now I've got this hair to work with that hair is out of the way so now I know exactly what I'm working with uh and I grab my razor and on our site guys there's two different things so there's two different razors I'm going to be using the fine teeth version so you've got the carving comb fine you've got carving comb wide um you know they both cut the same so it doesn't really matter it's just more about what comb you want to use at that point so now back out just a little bit so you guys can see I'm going to use so just like this now let me spray it down all right so now what we're going to do here is I turn the head so you guys can see it I want the razor to mimic the the head shape here so I'm not so much worried about the side or the the parting in the section when I cut with scissors I would probably follow that line with my hand depending on the cut with a razor I'm drawing I'm more drawing the hair so what I want to do is I want to decide if I wanted this to go a little bit longer towards the front then I would start here and kind of work my way longer um what I want to do is I want to cut a nice kind of just horizontal looking graduation so I'm going to put the blade in here like this and I'm going to work up and down cut a little bit longer bob today up and down like this and work through the hair holding it nice and tight with my hand but cutting that line so just like that okay gives me a nice little shattered appearance which is great it's very modern looking then I take down my next section so see I've already got my hair combing in the right direction so now I can easily take my next parting over and with razor cutting I'm going to take about a two inch parting or a two inch section comb the rest over clip it away see now I bring the hair down like this I got my guide underneath pulling all that hair into my hand now one thing I want you guys to realize when you're razor cutting or when you're holding a bunch of hair in your hand is that underneath here like I'm over directing a lot of this hair and I'm working with the head shape so if I just go up with the razor a little bit it starts to create that graduation as opposed to trying to hold it at that perfect moment and cut it that way so I like to hold it horizontal low to the head but then have a little bit extra movement with the razor because the more you move it up and down the more it layers it so I go up and down movement and I go a little bit broader do the same thing here but over direction is back connecting that line so this is where we're at let down the next section so Zelda why such a large section because we're cutting horizontally and at the same elevation and I'm playing with the head shape so I let this hair down I'll kind of show you should be a little bit easier so I'm playing with a little bit different elevation here so I come down I've got my guide underneath see it starts to fall out so when I grab the hair and I work this section because I'm cutting into more of it I can work a little higher with my elevation on the stroke of the razor which will give me more movement in that head shape so what I want to do is use the head shape now most of the time I'm just trying to be aware of it in my hair cutting with when I'm cutting with a razor I want the head shape to start to do the work so that's kind of a my mulator don't shut me off thank you okay so now take the next section so that's really what what I'm going for here I'm using the head shape because I'm cutting with a razor this is totally different than my thought process with scissors so I'm here my guide starts to fall out and I'm working this line same thing here it's all coming straight back to me so now I'm gonna turn her over so you can start to see that graduation that's happening and we're gonna cut into that uh in the dry cut so now let this hair out we're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side here hey it's Joel thank you so much I'm feeling like I'm feeling calm I need like a I need like a calm vibe this is a it's a happy vibe all right so I'm going over mimicking that first section that I made with the hair comb the hair nice and tight over to the side of the head slide my clip up underneath oh just about slip and fell told you guys it's gonna happen just stay tuned for that that alone and then share that let's pop as many people in this room as we can guys I can see the numbers up there uh my facebook's going strong freesline education facebook fell a little bit if you're on there hit that share button please and youtube you're staying strong uh love you guys so let's just hit that share button whatever you're doing wherever you're at share thank you zelda all right so slight diagonal forward and really guys what I'm doing here is I'm just trying to stay balanced in the back so I'm looking at it standing square in the back keeping the uh razor square so I keep looking at my previously cut section using that as a guideline as well and just small strokes of the razor across and when I lift the hair up like this I'm just looking for how it falls and how balanced it is in the back here I'm gonna get a little bit stronger with my up and down here that'll help create that graduation a little bit more bring the hair down get stronger same thing here good bring the last little bit so the carving comb guys is on our site as well uh it's the shop fsc site um it's 39 bucks so it's pretty cheap uh to put this tool into your toolbox add it to it um like I said it's got a 100 cutting side 50 percent so you can really go in and create different different looks if she had thicker hair I could go in with the 50 percent and just kind of cut into it a little bit more I don't need to do that with this medium hair so you could see we've already started to create this nice graduation uh with the razor it's got a real textured edge to it so it's gonna have a real modern feel in the end result so let down this right side I'm gonna spray this down as well I'm glad to hear that so here's kind of a cool thing about the razor you could literally take this this section here and because it cuts everything so nice and light move this clip a little bit so I can comb this tighter but because it cuts everything so like nice and light I could take from this point right here and literally cut this with the razor and just uh cut through it so I'm actually going to do that on this cut because her hair is not super thick if it was super thick I would take it in two sections uh right at the bridal ridge and then um you know then bring the top down but it's not super thick so everything we've cut we did our sectioning so I know that this is all the side I'm just gonna continue across and cut my line just like this the one thing about hairdressing right now is time is kind I mean time's always been money people say but for right now with the pandemic and everything is happening you gotta kind of cut hair a little bit faster so in certain spots you can um don't do it in every spot and make sure that you do a lot of the detail work that I talk about but if I can save three minutes on that cutting that and then I can go in and spend three more minutes on the dry cut then it's a win-win for me and my client so let this down see that's good good vibes thanks Michelle we're gonna do the same thing on this side make sure you get all the hairs combed every single one and once I get it down here then I can just grab start cutting work my way through all right so now I'm going to take out the fringe and I'm gonna blow her dry so let's do a little blow drying here we'll blow dryer smoother out and then we'll be ready for our dry cut so here we go let's go over here let's do this blow dry time you guys with me we're gonna do this we're on the final stretch all right so I'm just gonna smooth this out real quick Adele I don't do extensions I don't I don't even uh I've never wanted to do them but there are some great people out there that have some channels that do that for sure I I haven't like uh I don't even do them in the like we don't have them in the salon never saw extensions that I really felt like unless you're a celebrity that I would put my hair there are a lot of maintenance if you want to talk about maintenance and expensive so I think embracing I know it sounds crazy because we're in a beauty industry but embracing what you have and making the best choices to to kind of enhance that for the most part makes the most sense now there are really definite reasons that people would want to get extensions I just never really got into it but maybe someday we'll have an extension person come on talk about it true yes did you find it harder being a man in this business no uh I didn't find it harder at all um I think getting my mind around because of where I grew up um for a second maybe I was questioning like whether I wanted it like but or had a little struggle but no and Joel I'm not sure if you're the one that I think I got an email I thought I saw an email uh somebody that was struggling but or just questioning struggling I I don't know if it was you but um I I've never heard of a guy struggling in the industry at all sometimes I think they get silly opportunities those are guys and that's silly too so um so yeah I wouldn't worry about anything like that what's the temperature so I actually so Dyson um like most companies want you to keep it at like a medium temperature and I'm pretty much that way as well here's the challenge I'm finding I 365 does fine it does a good job um I like it only goes up to 410 which I say only but you don't need more than 410 I promise you that it's a it's a good iron it grips the hair really well it has the flexible plates so the the plates kind of work with your the tension of your section even if it's unbalanced um now with that being said 365 is still a little low for me I think for what I like so I don't like to do more than one pass so I go through here and I'll try quickly to get that section ironed and not go over it again um with 365 I felt like I had to do it uh two three times not always but um I just feel like it's a it's an easier setting for me so Zell I think I just answered your question but it's 410 is the highest where did you grow up Liz I grew up in Illinois um in a small town in Illinois 700 people um right near the border of Iowa um and I went to a beauty school in Iowa in the Quad Cities Capri College that Bob is bomb thank you wait till it's done it's almost done obviously we gotta cut that fringe but look at the shape that we created look look at the sides guys like I didn't do sections at all just took it cut it this whole like negative thought process with the razor is crazy to me because once this is smoothed out like it doesn't look any different hair looks frizzy if you don't do it so uh you cut it with a scissor cut it with a razor now a razor edge is going to be softer but that razor only made a soft line it didn't make frot like frayed edges um now you cut with a dull scissor or a dull razor you're gonna get crappy I guess I was gonna say something else uh edges but with a nice fresh blade on a razor you get a beautiful clean cut on the hair made you decide to become a stylist good question Kelly so I um so the biggest thing and I don't want to stretch this story out because I'm not my my journey of being a stylist is not that important but I uh I became a stylist because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life I liked doing a lot of different things um and a couple of my favorite jobs were working on the radio I did that for a little bit out of right out of high school and my senior year of high school and um I liked playing music and doing different things I knew I wasn't gonna go to college so um it wasn't great in school um I wasn't a bad kid I just didn't get good grades and uh so I decided to do hey what's up I've been live for hours Carly so I'm literally just uh just going to town it's my second haircut um and I'm answering why I went to beauty school so I was detailing cars and one of the guys that I worked with he said I used to color my hair all the time so I wanted to be M&M it's really why but I uh um he said why don't you go to beauty school and I said do guys do that so Joel this is kind of where it goes back to you I said do guys do that because I grew up in Illinois and guys didn't really do that so um they said at the beauty school yes and they can make great money and I said all right cool so it sounded like a fun job I signed up I was literally the only guy in school at that moment I actually think one other guy who was signed up with me but then he quit like pretty early on um and there was like 150 girls there so it was like a pretty like you know you learn a lot at that point and you know I went went to beauty school and then I went three months into it is when I kind of went to my first hair show and then really realized what I wanted to do so that's how I started with Paul Mitchell and started working with them for 10 years and then um after that started doing the YouTube thing seven years ago and then teaching on that and then now we're here so that was the quickest probably the quickest version of that story I could have given you but I don't like the whole drug out why I became a hairdresser stories all right so look at this Bob guys seriously it cut it in like three minutes you guys were here you saw it um so what I want to do now is just kind of fine tune it um I'll still use the razor still working even though it's dry hair it's okay uh so I want to go in and show you guys how I'll cut the front here so back out just a little so just like this bring it over and I'm just going to softly cut into it now I'm doing this on dry hair because I really just want to work these outer edges um and this blade is strong so it glides to the hair pretty well um there's other blades that don't so you got to be careful um what you're using then I go through I'll do a little pinch cutting pinch into the edge there so you can see some of this I want to go in I'm going to do some of the uh 50 percent do a little bit 100 percent through the back over top of this shape this is really like slide cutting so we we went over that in the last cut um it's like slide cutting so you're just kind of like pinching and sliding through and then work that bottom and if you wanted that to be a more precise outer edge you could always go in with uh your scissor and cut that as well but I like kind of having that softness to it oh geez so just a little bit more to cut on this side bring some of this it wants to fall so I'm going to let it now this is our heavy side over here wants to fall on her face so a little trick is to take some of this section over grab the hair take your 50 percent and just kind of cut into it a little bit that'll help soften and do a little bit more bring it over 50 percent and just kind of soften into it that'll just take out a little bit of that weight just so it doesn't look so heavy too again here 50 percent then you're not cutting all the way through the section see where I'm at here choppy uneven pixie cut I can probably do that real fast if we weren't going to have time for a third haircut that's probably the one make anything choppy and uneven for you okay I don't see the haters I don't even see them I literally didn't see them though did you oh okay let's get some finalizing tunes on here all right this is like such a fun kind of like textured feel oh they're gone all right cool good for them all right let's see here thank you guys all right what are we doing that fringe it's driving me nuts I'm sure it's driving her nuts here's a little tip a little heat I want to show you guys two different looks on this cut like I want to show you a straight version if her uh fringe will cooperate voila let's start to see this from other sides here you guys can see texture movement a little peaceiness nice little long bob let me spin it again you guys can see that texture in there she's fine she'll be fine all right so there's her long bob and then let me give it a little wave too so you guys can see what that looks like and then I'll take a couple questions and then I'm out of here thank you Brendan I appreciate that Michelle thank you stuff over another masterpiece all right so let's get a little wave in this thing let's hair over start working on this underneath first the heavy side so a little twist and then I pull quickly out talked about this before but to create more of a beachy kind of wave look I do a quick twist and the bot in the mid shaft and then I quickly go through the ends so that they don't get perfectly straight twist and then quick through the end twist quick some more on the top here thanks guys who's been on here the whole time that's impressive oh it's the other was I on the wrong camera it's that camera one sec people we're coming back it's like maybe this thing burnt up coming back guys don't you worry there we go open that thing didn't blow up all right back to six there we go let's do this so I'm going to curl forward some of these front sections here quick out but then let it kind of rest on the other side curl forward quick out it's totally going to make her bang fall on her face even more we'll see quick through the root or through the ends Nancy do I need to go home and relax yes it's only funny if you can hear this song it says yes all right almost there guys here we go I'm not stressed to delve no way not me finish this thing up so what do we think let me know in the chat I still feel like the fringe is heavy but uh texture that happens from using the razor like it's just very soft but still builds up a ton of volume so like even with wavy hair it's a great look bangs yeah I should have put bangs in there um Cindy you're so correct you're very correct does anybody have any questions oh Cindy that was a long one anybody have any questions I feel like I ate like a pint of hairspray officially it's all in my mouth it's in my face all right guys so hope you guys enjoyed today's class I enjoyed hanging with you guys we did a lot of work today I was feeling real good after
