 What's up guys, welcome to today's video. So on today's video, I have a special guest, Ryan Teal, Ryan Teal has a YouTube channel called Hair Dressing According to Me. And so I wanted to share that with you guys. The link is in the description below, so go subscribe to him. Also, he did a haircut for you guys for the Friessan Education Channel, so hope you guys enjoy it. Ryan, what did you do? Man, I had a great time. It was fun coming in and doing this and thank you very much for having me. This haircut is all for that woman with huge hair, what I like to call Chewbacca. All she ever wants is, she just wants the hair, instead of going straight out like this, like she usually does, she always has to grow the hair out long. All she ever wants though, is she wants a cute little bob. But she can't have that because God gave her so much hair. So what we did was, we did a really quick little haircut where I did what I call pleating and I did two disconnections. So one in the basement and the one when I call the main floor. And I just folded over, cut it and laid it down and then laid the disconnection over the top of that. And what that does is it compresses that big hair of life ponytail from here to there and then to there. So really what I did was I took that ponytail and then just cut it off by two thirds almost. So when she goes and brushes it out or when she styles it or dries it, it's gonna dry in two thirds last time. And then through the roof, I did a really quick little technique which we used to call volumetrics and we bring it over the top and I show you three different ways to cut it but we do like a quick little increased layer that goes from short to long. It's a super easy haircut and you can use it tomorrow behind the chair. Yeah, and that's the thing guys. I've seen the comments over and over again. You wanna see a haircut for thick hair. So this is the one. Hope you guys enjoy it. We're gonna get started with the step by step. Here we go. So it's important to start with the foundation of this haircut. So I'm gonna cut this all in a oney because really the whole haircut has to do with the interior of the hair. So when we usually cut the foundation, we usually cut with our fingers, holding the hair and we see a line like that. We see the top of our fingers and that gives us that straight line. When in reality, if you use a comb, you can see what is truly straight. You see that the green comb is straight and horizontal where the black comb is actually diagonal and it's gonna make it long on the right hand side as opposed to the left hand side. So it'll be a crooked haircut. So let's just go ahead and bring our comb straight down with very little tension and I'm gonna use a seven inch scissor to maintain balance and make sure that I'm cutting a nice straight line. And if you notice that when I'm cutting, I'm doing kind of a sewing machine effect. So I'm inserting the scissor and then pulling out as I cut. And the reason why is it is a Japanese scissor. So Japanese scissors are meant to push hair away from the blade. So if you pull back just slightly, you'll be able to maintain a nice even cut and pull all that hair back into your cutting line. So just working right over the ear, making sure there's no tension on that length. So now we're gonna start, we're gonna separate the hair from the front to the back at indentation. And then I'm gonna go down into what I call the basement or some people call the occipital or the nape. For now, I'm just gonna section that front out by braiding it really quickly just to keep it nice and orderly and tidy. And my hands move really fast when I braid. You should try and see if you can move your hands that fast as well. So now I'm in my basement, sectioning all the rest of the hair away. And I'm gonna take a profile parting. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a profile parting and I'm gonna lift that hair straight up. Now tell me is it you and me forever? Oh, oh, oh, or is it just a hit and run? So right up against that scalp, straight up against that scalp, I'm looking for the length. There's my length guide right there. So that is the length. I can cut everything else out legally. So there I'm gonna cut that length or that width out. So when I drop it, if I take a cross section of hair, I'll see that I get a mirrored representation of the nape. Since the nape curves in like that, it'll curve out like that in the back. Giving us width, but getting rid of all of that weight in that basement. So I'm gonna do it again on the side. I'm gonna cut it square. Again, straight up. Now tell me is it you and me forever? That is a Paula Abdul reference. And cut. Gonna pass the duchy upon the left hand side and cut the other side. Elbow up to give me my protractor or my angle and cut. Now this is very, very important. You need to braid out your disconnection. That disconnection must be braided because you do not want it to touch anything else on that hair. You do not want it to get involved in any of the other floors of your haircut because you will cut a major hole that is unrepairable. So let's go ahead and cut into our main floor. So I'm sectioning out that roof and I'm sectioning the main floor, leaving the main floor down and you can see that I'm just clipping out of the way that whole top of the head. Some people call it above parietal. Combing, making sure everything is nice and tidy. Giving it a little twirl and a clip. I'm gonna go back into that main floor. So she has a whole lot of hair. So I'm gonna put a second pleat in. I'm gonna start at profile again. And if you look, I'm really cutting. So that's when I cut my length. All I'm doing is keeping my hand as if I'm shifting that hair straight up to cut my length just high. So I'm taking a horizontal parting but I'm holding it vertical. There's my length guide. The same length guide that I had from down below. There's my length guide and cut. So now that length is gonna hang over that basement and collapse that hair. So as Chewbacca's hair starts to take off because of the layering, the weight is gonna make it lay back down. So that's what's gonna keep her hair straight up and down or like vertical hair. So I'm going to over direct back into a square. So square layers or square graduation, if you will. Straight up again, looking for my guide and cut. Straight up. Now tell me, is it you and me forever? And cut. So now I'm gonna go ahead and braid that main floor out of the way. Just cause I do not want that to get involved on any other part of the haircut. Now through the front, I wanna maintain a little bit of weight through the front. So when I pleat it, I'm gonna pleat it back towards the upper left hand side. So I'm gonna try and pull away from what I wanna keep. I'm looking for the length guide again. Same thing I did on the side and cut. So I wanna keep the weight there. So I'm just going to pull away from what I wanna keep. So I wanna pull away from that hair right in front of the chin. I'm then going to braid that hair out of the way. And I use a braid because that secures it a lot safer than just a clip. So it's like safe haircutting. And cut the other side and then braid. I like to use precautionary tactics. So now through the roof, what we're gonna do is I'm gonna section her hair back where her part was where I originally had her part. And I'm going to clip those clips out of the way and I took a little clue right in the front of her hair. And that's gonna give me where her shortest hair piece is or the shortest layer is going to be. I'm gonna pull the hair up over the top of the head all the way over right against that scalp. And I'm going to utilize the scalp or the skull to give me the curve of her layers. Cause we are gonna cut like an increased layer. Now there you are. I'm going to increase it from short to long. There it could be a flat layer or I can do a, what is it, a decreased layer as well. So coming over to the other side. Now one thing that you wanna remember is that what you do on the other side, that's going to be the shortest layer on your other side when it goes back home. So where you cut it, when I'm cutting the hair from the right hand side and I pull it over to the left, where I cut it, it's going to hit on that same spot on the right hand side. Combing it out. And we're gonna see a really nice little face frame right underneath her chin, right where I want it to be. And do the same thing on the opposite side. You can see my clips protecting my hair so I don't get any of that hair involved. Cause I don't want to cut a hole. There's my little clue and it comes straight down. I'm going to increase it from short to long and cut. Come up over the top in the back as well. Catch a little bit from what I previously cut and cut. And in reality there you have it. That is essentially a 12 section increased layered haircut. And there it is cross section. You can see that round and that round of that shape is coming from the round of the skull. I have a really hard time cutting round shapes but if you use the shape of the skull you'll get a nice round shape. And there is the pleats working. There are two huge holes in the haircut that are very scary. So don't have your model do handstands with this haircut. But when her hair comes back you can see all of that hair lay right over the top. So now let's go ahead and blow dry the hair. I'm using an ergo brush from my buddy Robert and I'm just going to smooth it out quickly with an ergo brush or with a brush. I like to spray my hair spray, like a dry hair spray on the brush as I work because I feel like if you work hair spray in you don't spray it on. You get the memory of the hair spray without any of the crunch. Just working that spray in making sure it gets nice and hot so it smooths all of our ends and all of the little fly-aways. You want to treat hair almost like shrink wrap. If you heat it up to get it in place and then you let it cool down it'll keep it there all day. So through the roof I'm going to pull all that hair forward. Back in my day we used to teach our clients to flip your hair over and when they did it it looked like crap but when we did it it looked magically delicious. So I do the same thing but they don't flip their hair over. They just pull all of their hair right in front of their face to get that root movement going forward. So when they push it back it's going to have volume but not super huge volume like you know like she's from Texas you know the bigger the hair the closer to God. Up over the top always reloading my brush with hair spray straight up and then twice and then three times a lady heat it up give it a little tuck in a roll and then drop it like it's hot. So once, twice three times a lady and then once it's all in place I'll usually give it a little misting of hair spray. So now I want to show you my personalization techniques. When I personalize I'm not just randomly personalizing I'm trying to recolor the hair. So I was pointing out where the dark spots are you want to hit the dark spots and make it lighter like the light spots. So you're actually recoloring the hair as a hair cutter. So there you have it dark, light, dark. You're not going to hit the light spots you're only going to make the dark spots like the light spots and I'm going to do a little technique I like to call slap cutting. I don't know the real name for it. If you know the real name for it if you could just write it on a piece of paper and throw it away for me that would be great. But we're just going to slide the scissor in and then as I pull it out from the hair the gravity shuts my blade not my actual finger. So the gravity does all the work my wrist does all the work my thumb doesn't move at all. So work all the way to the front really lightening that texture up. There you have it dark and then light and I could go in and do a deep parallel point cut but that hair wants to bend over to the side. So it's a lot easier to do this little slap cutting technique for us. And there you have it again that's the technique right there. It's very important to grow a really long beard while cutting as well. I mean that will make you if you don't have a long beard you need to get a neck tattoo that'll make you a better hair cutter as well. So I'm just going to go right around the back you see where I want to texture my elbows are up that's giving me my cutting angle your cutting angle doesn't come from your wrist your cutting angle comes from your elbow your elbow becomes a protractor you always want to have that elbow up or tilted because that's going to give you that straight line you just see me like adjusting my angle to cut it. Now I'm going to do a little technique that I like to call whittling and I'm just going to leave my scissors in one spot I'm going to pull the hair into my scissor. So I'm not you finding a guide anymore I'm pulling the hair into the scissor I'm keeping the scissor in one position and I'm just pulling all that hair into it. And so the scissor itself becomes its own guide and I just open and close it in that one angle the higher I hold that scissor the more graduation I'm going to have or eventually I'll get to layers. So I want to actually kind of etch out like a really cool little line there by keeping my scissors at that almost 45 degree angle. I am using a tax rising shear it's like a medium to tax rising shear with a little bit of a rounded bottom and that allows me to slip the hair out or the slip that scissor out so it doesn't get stuck or on you. And I do keep my hand right on top of my client's head just pushing it out of her face. I think it gives her kind of a cute little like almost like a modern day Jennifer Aniston look you know like Jennifer Aniston like in Meet the Millers there you have it.
