 What's up guys welcome to today's video. Today what we're going to be focusing on is a longer men's cut Could also be translated into a women's cut. We're going to be doing it with a razor So that's exciting as well and we'll throw some scissor work in there as well Because I don't like to just do one haircut with one tool I want to section this off a little bit in the FSE digital hair cutting basic sectioning So we'll go through here. I'm going to go from the bridge of the nose So we'll go here center part We're going to separate front and back so we separate side to side And now we're going to separate front and back by working down to the hairline Those of you guys that follow my content, you know, this is basically how I section everything So here's the line so you can see it goes straight up from the hairline Now some people's hairlines go back a little bit That's fine You really just want to get the majority of this density In the back section and then the majority of that density in the front section Now separate the other side. So now we've separated front and back. We got the front With the back I'm going to start by cutting in the back And the reason I'm choosing to use a razor on this Is because I want everything to fall nice and soft as we work through it We've got our vertical section here and then we're going to work A pie shape section but taking a big piece of the pie first So I want to go all the way over to the hairline about an inch up The reason I'm working with the razor is I want to create a soft line If this guy goes in to style his hair and he doesn't put a bunch of effort into it I want it to still fall nice and the way that it's going to fall nice Is having razor lines or nice shattered lines as opposed to Really blunt perfect layers throughout a cut got my pie shape section here I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side when I always talk about working interior out Sometimes I like to go baseline and up and this is one of those cases because He's going to be wearing this hair sometimes back off his face sometimes forward I really want to Pick his length to start and because I'm using a razor his length won't be so blunt So I'll be able to remove quite a bit of weight and really pick that length right from the get go So we go here bring this hair down Finger elevation I don't want too much elevation in it and then I've got my hundred percent cutting side And I'm just going to softly work through not a ton of pressure On the section because the more pressure the more blunt this line gets the softer you go The softer this line gets and that is what I'm personally going for and just a heads up to you guys I'm standing to the side of my work here But in the salon I'd be standing directly behind it so I could visually see it So that's the first part of that cut now when I go from here I can then flip the tri razor and go 25 texture and just slide Halfway down this section To add a little more texture and remove a little bit more weight This is one of the coolest parts about this tool is just being able to rotate it And create even more texture Into the haircut. So that's my length now. I'm going to continue just going straight up Let's go two inches at a time So I'm going to go two inch section up diagonal forward parting over to the hairline The beauty of working in the back of the head every section as I move up Is all working within the same density and I I really try to explain this every single class that I do If I were to grab this hair and pull it into this section and cut it the same as I cut the back It's going to be a lot weaker in the front. I want to keep that strength in the front I want to treat the front like a separate haircut like I'm cutting a totally different head So we'll go through the back. We're going to work our way all the way up And then I'll go into the front. This is a very simple part of using the tri razor So we're going to go vertical all the way across the back vertical section Bring it out And now I've got that underneath so that it starts to fall that can be your guideline if you want I'm going to go a little bit past that And then I'm going to slide The tri razor down and I'm going to take another vertical section. So Bring that bring section one over to section two where section one is that becomes my guideline I want to travel across the head Creating this balance line here So I want everything to come out to this point if I take section two Which is here and I pull it over to section one when I let go when I cut section one and I brought it over here I over directed it once you over direct it and cut it there. It's longer Then section one it so now my line goes from wanting to be a balance line, which is my goal to then being More of a clothesline where I push weight Towards the front right so I need to make sure Instead of bringing two over to one. I bring one over and meet Section two sort of in the middle basically over top of section two So I'll scoop underneath like this bring the hair over I can see the guide And then I cut all right. So now we cut section one. We've cut section two now We're going to move to section three right And as we move to section three I now leave section one alone bring two over to three so section two says see you later section one Drops them off at home goes to pick up section three at his house. Let's keep this out underneath tri-raiser cut section two section three hung out for a little bit And now section three is like see you later section two. I'm going to go see section four, but Section four wants to meet section three a little closer to his house. They both have bikes Okay So section four. I want to pull straight back As opposed to rounding the corner. I want this To be a balanced line because we're working on a round right here If I take three and I pull it over to four four sitting on a round So now I start to round this line off I want to keep a balanced line So four needs to meet three. I'll scoop it, but then I'll pull four Over to three just a little bit and they'll meet Halfway in between each of their houses so you can see Nice layered haircut going on I do the same thing on the opposite side So nice layered long effect So I say balanced because this to me is just balanced with my shoulders It's parallel to my shoulders parallel to the wall and it's working this balanced line across the head. Let's continue on Okay, so now we're going to go two more inches up Really just capturing that crown area On this section comb this hair down and we're going to do the same exact thing so Put your uber driver hat on we got section one here This is a fun little trick too. I'll show you guys if you want to add the texture as you go bringing one over to two And watch this if I take the 25 texture side And I go here first and cut now I've removed 25 percent from the mid shaft to ends And now I can just go through the ends and take the rest of it at 100 so that's creating that texture as you go So now I'll grab two bring two over to three so 25 texture mid shaft to ends and then slide out and then add in The hundred percent through now we grab four And we keep it balanced or square bring it back still texture rising and then the hundred So now not every section is created equal right now I'm in this little bit of the crown and I want this to lay a little bit different I don't want it to lay perfectly heavy off to the side So I don't want to create a balanced layer also The head really starts to curve around here. So for me, I want to follow that So I'm going to go one here connected to the bottom two three two three right around the top it'll be nice and quick I do want to get a higher elevation. I don't want to keep all this down here if I do that It just gets a little bit heavy, but the beauty of a razor is this would also give me extra length So I'm going to go in between. I don't want to go too layered too short on the top using that 25 texture We'll remove some of that weight. So then I can Do a little bit bigger passes with the razor the heavier stroke you do back and forth The more of a light line that you're creating bring the section back 25 texture get some of that weight out of there and then move through it 25 texture There's little bits here that are longer that I personally really love and that comes from Cutting it balanced if I went rounded this would be short. You wouldn't have this little flare out of hair So I want to do the same thing over here just to connect the top With this cut you don't have to be So perfect with it. Obviously you want it to have a purpose Once I get my client to this point. I'm going to start combing their hair The front hair into the back and just kind of see how that length reacts that they currently have And what I like to do is just move diagonal back And cut open off the face because most of these guys are not going to wear it Towards their face with it this long I'm going to switch the scissors For this next portion because what I want to do is I want to work diagonal back And they'll just be quicker for me and I can use point cutting To get a certain effect and we'll be good. So here we go Diagonal back elevate the hair and I'm going to point cut straight out from the head. So we'll call this Basically getting it at 90 degrees And I just continue through Just like that. You should have your bottom point from the back of the head So you just come through here point cut Home up Follow that parting Bringing all this hair up. What is this doing pushing extra length towards the bottom adding layers to the top Pushing length to the bottom once I get to the parietal ridge in this area here this curve So once I get to that portion of the head Everything kind of becomes stationary. So I travel across And then stationary up to this point it will create length To the bottom And once I get that cut then I can go in And just have some fun add a little more texture with my tri razor So now just being able to go through take a little bit of this hair and honestly add texture wherever the heck you want And if I see a little bit of weight I come in here 25 texture and this honestly this little trick can be on anybody's hair You start moving hair around you got a heavy piece in your face frame You see anything throughout the cut that you're doing And you just go in there 25 texture you're not removing too much hair ever and it can just really lighten it up nice And that's all from over directing it all the way up to the top cutting it and then letting that length Just be what it was sometimes you got to go in and take out a little bit now. I'm going to style So I'm just going to wet his hair down a little bit Again, and then I'm going to go with one of my new favorite products Grooming cream easy hold Definition isn't too much too extreme.
