So you're definitely gonna be able to use this in the salon It's gonna be that quick technique that you're looking for but also giving your guests that shattered look So hope you guys enjoy it. Let's get started with our step-by-step. Here we go All right, so we're gonna start off by prepping the hair with Donald Scott prepare the cool thing about this products It prepares the hair for cutting with a razor gives you a little bit of control with your sectioning and adds a lot of shine to your end result So we're gonna miss that all over the hair really focus it towards the ends to mid shaft where we're gonna be cutting and Then I'm gonna start off my sectioning We're gonna do a straight back vertical section all the way down center back Separating the left and the right side and then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna split the head in half So right at the division point high point of the head down to directly over the ear and separate the front and back So we basically create the four quadrants that we learn the very first thing that we learn in beauty school is to separate All those four quadrants the great thing about doing that is you're really focusing on each corner of the head so the way I'm gonna section off the two front quadrants of the head is I'm gonna go through and do a braid and What that's gonna do for me is just get the hair out of the face But also gives me a focal point of where the hair is gonna fall So as I'm cutting the into the back I can kind of see where the hair is in the front So we'll braid off this section as well And like I said, this is gonna be very simple, but the sectioning is really important So if you don't do the sectioning correct, and then you go in and do this cut you're not gonna get the same results so These two sections in the back are the most vital sections because you want to go right at the occipital bone So we're gonna draw a vertical line down center back And then we're gonna draw across the occipital bone to behind the ear Now it's really important that you focus on that occipital bone And I'm gonna kind of go through a couple scenarios here as well Because if they had thicker more dense hair What I would do is still make sure that I'm working at the occipital bone But I would have heavier strokes with the razor and we'll talk about that in a second But I would want to keep my sectioning the same And the reason for that is because we're working off the bone structure of the head So the occipital bone is where it kind of curves in So the elevation that I'm holding the section needs to stay similar But the strokes of the razor what's going to create more or less density As we work through so you'll see slight diagonal forward with that parting Two directly behind the ear and then I'm going to add a little bit of prepare to this section as well And I'm going to go through the carving comb. So this is the carving comb tool if you've never seen it This one has wide teeth on it. It has a 50% cut side and a 100% cut side So if you want to cut structure in a haircut you can do that And then on the opposite side of the carving comb, you're going to just debulk and take out weight create layers We're going to use both sides of the carving comb as we work through this haircut So a couple key points to really focus on here is see how thick that section is I took it's about the width of the carving comb This way I don't have to work back and forth on the section And also as I go in to cut you'll see I have a nice low elevation on it And I'm going about an inch back and forth with the carving comb That's going to create a nice shattered line But if I went heavier with that it would create more of a layered effect So what I'm looking for is to use the head shape So if you see how the oxybibone kind of curves down because of the angle that I'm holding the hair And that one inch kind of path that I'm moving the carving comb on that's giving me more of a graduated feel There'll be a little bit of layering towards the bottom, but we're going to go in and pinch cut that At the end You can see that bevel that happens and that's all because of the head shape So if I were to take this entire back down and do it I could but I would have to change my elevations a little bit It's easier to break up the back into two sections. So oxybibone down We have a nice low elevation and now we're going to work oxybibone up to the high point of the head So everything's going to come back towards me Now you're going to see my elevation shift You can see where I find my guideline from the bottom So I just grab a piece just to check it But this is a razor cut. It's got a little bit more freedom There's going to be a lot more texture in it. So you see your guide, but it doesn't have to be exact And you can see how those strokes on the razor are going to work and the elevation that I'm going to take this section up So much higher elevation the reason for that is you can see as it's coming off of the head It's still working at a similar elevation to the first section The head shape is just different and that it's more curved up So I need to elevate the hair more otherwise I'm going to end up with a really heavy result And that's not what we're looking for in this cut So literally we cut that entire side of the head in two sections really quickly And that's what I like about this technique and the carving comb is it allows you the freedom if you're looking for a more textured look But still with structure as long as you understand the head shape you can go in and quickly do these hair cuts Um and get a result that it would take you a while with scissors to cut a precision shape And then go in and texturize it a bunch to get this exact look when you can really do it in just a couple sections So now we're going to comb out the side And key thing I want you to focus on here is you could cut this straight across if you want to you can cut it More at an angle. This is really the the client's preference or your preference, whatever you're working for But to go through I'm going to add a little bit of an angle to the front because I like that disconnection And then I go through and I use the 50 carve side to just add a little bit of Layering and take out a little bit of the weight in the sides if they had really dense hair You could go in a little more aggressively with that as well So we cut our angle and then I go in with the 50 carve side and just take out some weight Now we're going to work with palmatial fast form This is a quick drying product So it's just something if I want to add shine to the hair and dry the hair quickly I put this product in We'll work it through scalp to ends and then once I get it in the hair Then I'm going to go through and brush it. We're using the ergo paddle brush Through the hair just to get the hair saturated every little bit with the product so we get the best result Now we're going to work a flat wrap technique Wrapping the hair around the head Adding that shine getting the flexibility in the cuticle We're going to create two different styles with this more of a smooth style and then I'm going to show you guys A style with a little more volume and texture at the end So I want to have a flexible base And so that I don't have any calyx in the hair and we're going to go through and do a little bit of dry cutting with the razor as well So you'll see I'm leafing the hair Really focused on the base So when you leaf the hair you're pulling extra attention on the base of the hair Which is going to give you more control and then I'll get A more that flexibility that I'm looking for in the end result Same thing in the back. So you'll see I'm brushing the hair up, but then I come back down You don't want to blow dry the hair in one direction You also want to make sure that you never blow dry the hair and leave that parting in there You want to go back and forth over the parting and that'll give you An even consistency within the base What I really want you guys to see in this part is How that shape's really unfolding. So it's Has a precise look to it. It definitely has a textured feel It's very soft and I think that that's what a lot of people like about a razor cut is it's easy to style at home Um, somebody cuts a more precision cut in your hair It's it's you know great for you to style in the salon, but when you get home and you go to style it It's a little bit harder because you don't have that precision blow dry happening So it's really nice to have that flexibility in the haircut So finishing up the last little bit. I want you guys to also see this shine Which is definitely coming from the donalds got prepared and the fast form all at the same time You're getting that kind of uh glossy look But also see how the air flow is passing over top of the cuticle I want to make sure anytime i'm blow drying that i'm blow drying the air down And not roughing up the cuticle because that's when you lose the shine This is hot off the press. This is a thermal protectant. So I put it in I blow dry it into the hair for a minute and then I'm going to use my iron to go over top of that So the hot off the press is really just a protectant for all this heat that we're putting over the hair So sometimes I like to use a comb during my iron work and then sometimes I use a brush in this case The base in the mid shaft were really Nice and smooth. I didn't have to do a lot of work and because it's a textured feel to the look I just really wanted to polish out those ends, but they didn't need to be Completely straight and smoothed out. So I just go through with my paddle brush again We're working with a quick technique. This is something that not only is quick for a hairstylist But is quick for people to style at home as well. So I didn't want to get too fancy with how we're smoothing it out Um to show you guys that this looks good pretty quickly So the last couple sections you're going to notice that most of the time I'm taking diagonal sections to iron Because that's going to give me the softest look if I took a horizontal section across you might see the end Damp from the iron. So now I'm going to go in with my working spray, which is worked up It's a dry hair spray, uh, which basically means that it's great for creating a little bit of texture And also if you're doing any type of iron work or anything like that, it's got great flexibility For that. So now I just put it in and give me a little bit of hold and control on the hair And now I'm going to go through again. This is a fresh blade on the carving comb from start to finish So I can go through and do dry cutting because of that If you think about a scissor if we're doing slide cutting techniques, it's the same thing But a razor blade is actually Sharper than a scissor blade. It just is weaker. So it dulls quicker So you want to make sure that you definitely have a fresh blade and then you can go through and just Slide your blade through there and remove some of that bulk and and etch out the shape a little bit more So a little bit more worked up throughout it You can see I flipped the top fringe over we cut it with a middle part So it allows that flexibility to go back and forth And then I go in with the extra body finishing spray when I finally got the look exactly where I want it And then I can set it into place So there is our end result. This is the smooth look to it. You could see all that texture built into it Very very easy and quick to style it And now what I'm going to do is I want to go in and use a curling iron on it real quick Just to show you guys what that part would look like as well Because this is a flexible look. It has that texture built into it. So it looks good straight or curly Um, so we're going through I'm just using the curling iron This is an inch and a half curling iron and I'm going through and curling everything back off the face You can see how it already kind of gives those textured ends because of the way that we cut it with the razor And I'm just going to continue that same pattern throughout the top and the other side. So it's a really quick technique Um, but it gives you a really fun textured feel at the end So I'll just run my hands through it a little bit You'll see those curls come to life the one thing that I want to shift from this style and and why I'm kind of going In with the worked up because it gives me that flexibility Instead of going in with a finishing spray and I'm just going to take my flat iron and flat iron a few of the end pieces Which will give me that texture and separation and also elongate the style for the end result So hope you guys like this style.
