 Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from free salon education comm here with our friend Jess and we we did a makeover today We cut off lots of hair, so we're gonna walk you guys through the haircut We also gave her a little bit of hair color, but really just a nice medium brown nothing complicated there And Christina went in did some makeup and we have our end result really the end result We were looking for it just as a lot of hair So we wanted to remove a lot of bulk her hair was about down to here Which you'll see at the beginning of the video We went in with our razor our Donald Scott chopstick cut into it created a lot of really fun layering and Texture and it really just created this nice modern feel to a medium length textured haircut So I hope you guys enjoy watching this step-by-step and here we go. Let's get the video started. Thanks All right guys, so these are the products that we used we used our ys part clips our Donald Scott carving comb Mizutani scissors and all of our favorite products from brocado But this is Jess's before picture and now we're gonna get the video started. So real standard sectioning again I don't like to get too complicated with the sections, but we're gonna start with a vertical section in the back You can see I took slight diagonal forward sectioning or partings Just up at the occipital bone pretty much riding the occipital bone in the back I like to go right there because that's that first curve of the head I'm going to go in with our Donald Scott chopstick pro and just work through it I love this tool because it glides through the hair really easy We also sprayed in the prepare Liquid tool glide as well helps the razor really glide in the hair. But yeah, this is the Just the chopstick we're going through at Pretty much directly out from the head. So I want you to focus on The fact that the we're not trying to build up a lot of weight right now. I want to collapse the bottom Around that occipital bone area and you'll see my hand my fingers are sliding out because I'm leaving a little extra fringy looking length or shattered length at the bottom So that's what I love about the razor guys because you know I like to go in and create Some precision haircuts if you've seen my haircuts in the past But there's a there's a real freedom to a razor That sometimes I just there's haircuts that need that look and Jess has thicker hair So the razor tool works really well for her Biggest shift here now is my fingers are pointed down Same slide out motion and you see the strokes that I'm taking with the razor are really wide The wider the stroke the more broken the line. I'm not creating structure in this haircut whatsoever The only thing I'm doing structure-wise is I'm keeping consistent with the Overdirection that I'm pulling on the hair. So I'm pulling the hair straight out from the head And then sliding my fingers as I cut and you can see that A little bit of extra length at the bottom right around the nape of the neck where It's going to be a little more shattered looking. That's what I love about the razor and She gave me a haircut picture that was very similar to that. So That's what we're creating now Overdirection straight back. So we're pushing that weight to the front Um And that's really just pushing that extra weight right behind the ear And now I'm going to let down that top panel and work just down to the ear So basically from the corner of that rectangle that's on top of her head down to directly behind the ear You could base this on density and head shape, but that seems to be a pretty standard parting for this haircut So now I'm looking at Uh, the weight and the density right behind the ear to see how much I want to cut in there And then all the hair is coming directly back. This is the great thing about that gopro angle And wearing that on the head Sometimes it's a little shaky, but you really get to see the angles of the haircut. So everything Vertical parting straight down working around the head. Everything's coming straight out So we went from almost cutting like a triangular shape to Working that round of the head towards the back and then Once we get to the corner Then you'll see we take it a little bit differently. So I'm going to grab that corner of the head still coming straight out Not any over direction whatsoever straight out from the head the strokes are getting wider with the razor And the great thing about that guys is you can see how much of a shattered look you get Especially with Jess is really thick hair. So Again straight out from the head So we went from cutting more of a triangular shape by over directing everything back and pushing the weight forward to now Uh, creating more of a rounded shape because we're following the round of the head. Um as we over directed or as we pull the hair out Same thing on this side Again, look at the density. Look at the head shape But for now it works really well to just go right down to the ear and make that kind of rotation Around the head with your partings. So Keeping everything nice and clean Putting that clip up in there All up in there Here we go. All right Now you'll notice I'm not tilting your head down Too much because that would that would mess up my angle. So really head the head angle is all for your comfort So keeping that wider stroke with the razor over directing it straight out from the head And uh keeping that shattered look going so we're going to continue around the head just like we did in the previous Panel and just over directing everything straight out Now I like to take smaller sections no matter what I'm doing even though I'm going for a shattered look In this haircut. I don't want to take big thick sections because as soon as you do that You're bundling all of the hair together and if you bundle all the hair together around a corner You're shoving weight Uh away from it. So basically you're creating weight in places that you didn't want And then you're going to end up with a longer piece or a longer side Uh that you weren't going for so just make sure you take those small sections You shouldn't be taking a section that's wrapping around Around part of the head So you can see how that lays it lays really nice. I love this haircut. It's got a shag kind of feel to it But a nice medium length now. I'm going to tap around Jess's ear Just to give a little bit get rid of some of that tension And then I'm pulling everything straight down big strokes with the razor just to break up and start my line Now this isn't the end of the side of the haircut. It's really just defining. Where do I want that? Beginning line to start and now what you're going to see is I'm going to take partings and elevate the hair So The bigger strokes of the razor are still going to shatter the bottom of the haircut But then I want to go in and I want to actually create some layering throughout it as well So now you're going to see me doing that small sections straight out from the head Working around that round to the head They're going to go from vertical sections to a slight diagonal forward in there And sometimes in this part like I like taking the diagonal forward section because I feel like it really allows me to To see how the hair is going to fall And I think that's really just a personal preference for me But now I'm going to go through and just etching the bottom Finding little pieces that I want to cut out With the chopstick pro If you don't guys don't have a chopstick pro. It's such a cool tool I just added it to the freeslineeducation.com shop Donald scott was Cool enough to allow us to have his products on there It's not an expensive tool But it's definitely something this and the carving comb something you should totally have in your tool kit For haircuts like this Same thing going through big strokes of the razor defining that that base point that line And then you can see it's already shattered enough, but I like to go through and just elevate a little bit more um And keep it consistent You'll notice the difference. I switched my hand still working top to bottom but For combing purposes my fingers are pointing down So if my fingers are pointing down that allows me to comb the hair towards The back of the head just like I did on the opposite side And again going through finding those little pieces And cutting them through Now i'm going to do a little technique with the chopstick which is basically drawing some texture in there So just using the chopstick just the edge of the tip of the chopstick to go in And just chop it up a little bit more Uh works really well All right now I let down the top. This is the final part of the haircut And we're going to work um in basically a pie shape section Pie shape sections around the crown of the head So everything's being brought down fingers pointing up And again working the big Exaggerated strokes of the razor so think about uh the bottom of the haircut We did real uh kind of tinier strokes with the razor in the middle part of the haircut We did a little bit bigger and then at the very top we get even bigger With the strokes in the razor the elevation gets a little bit higher it removes a little bit more weight So you just got to think about all those things are involved when you're Using a razor or even scissors. Um, it's all the same So again, we're working in that pie shape sectioning Working the round of the head so cutting more of a rounded shape But really using uh big strokes of the razor To create a lot of texture and movement in the haircut Key point with this with any razor really is to make sure We use the prepare uh liquid tool glide Which is another donald scott product that we have on the shop That was a prepping spray So a lot of you guys if you're looking for like a cutting lotion or something like that It's a great tool for that you spray it in the hair gives a lot of slip to the razor But also When you're using the razor you want to make sure that you have a nice 45 degree angle With the razor to the hair So just when you go in there make sure that you're not straight up and down with the razor and uh shredding the hair If you bring it in at a 45 degree angle that the hair should really glide right off the head When you have a sharp razor Now I switched my tools um and every haircut is not made for just one tool So this is the heavy side of the haircut So what we're doing is we're going through with our 50 carve And then I flip the razor and I do 100 carve so I take out some bulk and weight Create some texture in the hair then I go through and cut my line So you'll see let's we'll over direct it out again I go in 50 carve Carve it out Then I go in create my line with big strokes on the razor. So I'm taking out that bulk Cutting my line all at the same time. Uh, it's a pretty cool technique. I like using this Especially people that have uh thicker hair works really well 50 carve go through Working that 100 carve and cutting the line Now we're working into the fringe area I stop at that point because I don't need to cut it because we're going to go in and cut the fringe now So we're using uh from the parting diagonal forward sectioning And this is what you cannot create this type of look as well with the scissor I don't believe so I go in with the carving comb. I take big strokes using that sectioning. So I'm over directing it Towards my body and I'm taking those Larger sections larger strokes and just creating a really broken fringe In Jess's haircut. So I really think that this makes the haircut Uh Over directing all this hair over so we're creating a side swap fringe But having that shattered effect if I think if you went in created something a little too blunt Uh, it just wouldn't have the same textured effect For the rest of the haircut. So you can see I like to also sometimes hold the carving comb like a pencil Which just allows easier movement Within the haircut. This is the carving comb wide that I'm using now. It has wider teeth It's great for for this type of haircut Just going in bigger strokes with the razor over directing that hair Towards the same point and creating that textured look so That technique you guys can definitely use it's something that Even if you're doing a longer haircut, you could do that technique with just the razor To create that fringe look now. We're going to blow it dry You could see it's got a really nice round shape to it But a lot of movement at the bottom on the ends. So that's what I really love about this haircut And once I get it all smoothed out, uh, we'll go through there Just in case you guys are wondering I'm using my vibra straight iron I dig that the palmatril 413 brush my favorite brush Uh, now I'm going to go in I got my scissors out. So, uh I'm excited because I I'm using the Mizzatani puffin scissor Um This is the titanium version. So it's a black version. It's actually thads. I took it out of his thing Um, so I'm going through and I'm cutting Uh using the tease cutting technique just to finish it off It's already has a lot of texture and movement But I just want to go through there. I have a lot of control with the scissor. So That way I can just go in there and lighten it up a little bit more But for the most part the haircut is pretty much done So pinching those sections going through half closing the scissor Uh to do this the tease cutting technique And that is pretty much it. We have a ton of techniques on fsd2.tv To show you these dry cutting techniques also on freesloneducation.com you can look up haircutting We have steps that show you and break down the tease cutting technique So make sure to check out more of our videos and subscribe for sure Because every time we come out with a new video, which is multiple times a week You guys can be up to date on that as well Last little bit i'm doing the uh tease cutting in the fringe And you could just see how nice how soft the lines are or how kind of soft the fringes because of that Carving comb technique and going in with the tease cutting last little bit pinching and slide cutting the hair Another great dry cutting technique Just to remove a little extra weight and soften the shape we created a nice round shape But again going in with those bigger strokes of the razor You don't really know what the outcome is going to be as much until you get it blown dry So that's why i'm going through with the scissor and just doing a little detail work to finish off the haircut You can see the gopro in my head. That's why my hair looks so crazy at the beginning of this video Because when you wear that thing for an hour, you have a headache and it messes up your hair a little bit Last little bit slide cutting through I love the mizzatani puff and scissor. It's a dry cutting only scissor So it has a nice slide to the hair So you don't get any tugging on the hair and it just allows you to glide through And cut those techniques that scissors also available On our shop on freesaloneducation.com So i'm going to go in with a carve. It's a it's a brocato product. It adds a lot of texture to the hair So this product i dig For shorter haircuts like this Even longer haircuts if you wanted to add a little bit of peaceiness to it But it just it gets a little bit tacky in your hand, but it's still soft. It's not too sticky Sometimes wax products just get real Sticky and messy so add a little bit to that christina is going to do some quick makeup and Finishing off some iron work there and then there we go.
