 What's up guys welcome to today's class. So the plan today. I want to do a little scissor-over-comb work. So I'm going to show you guys scissor-over-comb technique, which will be a fun kind of segment for this video. I'm also going to show you guys stationary guide on the top of the head and also traveling guide. And I'm going to do those two side by side so you guys can see the outcome of both. So what I want to do is I want to section her because I want to section the top off and then I'm going to blow dry the sides and start working some scissor-over-comb and I'm going to break down that technique. Alright so I'm going to go around the head here in a U shape. I'm going to clip. These clips are nice because they just slide up under and don't disturb your section and then I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side here. Alright let's blow dry. So now we are going to work scissor-over-comb. So in order to scissor-over-comb the key here is to have your scissor and be able to just move that one blade. To move just this one blade all you have to do is lock in this with all of your fingers. So you've got your middle finger, your ring finger, and your pinky. To really lock it in I move it just a little bit over and that wedges this in so now it does not slip around. So really just work on that get everything locked in and then shift it over to the side and then that will allow your hand to just move the thumb. Now you'll work on this until you get to the point where you have no issues. However you're holding this so then you add your comb to it and now to do scissor-over-comb you're here and the steady blade goes right across the bone of the comb here. You add it here and now you can work up the head and just move that one blade up and down. So now add in the head and you can start scoop up the hair and just start working slowly up the head shape and cutting to your desired length. As I'm coming up with my comb like this I'm working that blade along the scissor that's cutting horizontally and I need to determine my shape of what I want this haircut to be looking down at the overhead. So if I want to round the head off then I'm going to start by moving up in this corner and cutting so we would go like this up and then I would shift my feet. My feet would start moving in a circle around the head shapes like that all the way around. If I wanted to have a balanced line that continued straight out and built up weight over here I would start here shoulders parallel to the head and I would work straight up like this and then straight up so I just continue working through just like that until I run out of hair so that gives me a balanced line horizontally. Then I would move to the back and I would do the same thing creating that balanced line horizontally. So it's up to you guys whatever shape you want to create in the haircut is just determined by how you're either following the head shape or following a line. I'm going to go with the round of the head because I don't want a heavy corner in this cut. Another thing that I like to do when I'm cutting scissor over comb is I have a guide it's a little bit of a secret so when I hold the comb against the head my finger will go somewhere on their head so if it can't if it's going to hit them in the eye then obviously I move it but I'll go kind of behind it and my hand is holding the comb away from the head at the same spot because if I just try to hold it like this I feel like it gets a little shifty in and out so if I just place a little bit of a guideline along the head I can get the same length as I go. So now we're going to go with either what we're going to do both. I want to show you guys the difference of if we did a traveling guide or we do a stationary guide so on the the right side I'm going to do a traveling guide and on the left side I'm going to do a stationary guide. All of this is coming from the background so the way that we travel and this can go for any any person on the planet's short haircut what do you want to do with the top do you want some length and weight in the front or do you want it to have more of a seamless feel across and this is how we're going to work. Section one I'm going to cut that will then become my guide then section two will be cut by bringing it halfway to section one and section one will come halfway to section two then we'll leave section one alone then we'll go section three we'll come halfway back to section two section two will come halfway to section three and we'll cut it there then we drop section two off and we move on so we're just going to work through the head that entire way but you can see that as I work across here I'm not working on a flat surface I'm working on a surface that looks like this so if I continue my traveling guide and I want to do a flat line across the top what's going to happen is as soon as I get to this point here every step I take gets further and further away from the comb this will be very long if I continue this line so here's my flat line this will be way longer than this piece here the decision I have to make is do I want that much length in the front or do I want to take a little bit of that length out the stationary guide is going to be even more of an extreme of that line anytime you take an entire section of the head and pull it to one place you're going to have a pretty extreme outcome because you're still working on that round so you're still having the head go down further but now you're over directing it all the way to the back so that line becomes instead of flat with the traveling guide the line looks like this and now you've got all the length because it's coming all the way back here okay let's go to our traveling guide we're going to be cutting it traveling across the head this way but I also need to figure out which angle do I want to take it across do I want it to be like this with the round of the head do I want it to be more flat top-ish so that I get a weight line right here depending on the cut but that's most of time not what we're going for so what I'm going to do is I'm going to shift it and we're going to work with the round of the head 90 degrees on our vertical so I go here straight out start to cut the line you're still working 90 degrees up the head like that let me go down we're going to comb this back to get control and then I'm going to push section one to meet in the middle still cutting at 90 push section one to meet in the middle section three okay so that is traveling guide stays pretty seamless you can see through the top now we're going to work stationary guide which will come all the way back to that same point we will cut it still with the round of the head you can see the difference right of how this is nice and soft and falls towards the front and then you've got this which is just a big bulky top but still has some nice layering up here but just gives you that kind of tommed along in the early 2000s vibes so now I'm going to blow it dry real quick and actually I'm like kind of psyched on this cut it looks pretty cool and I'm going to put a little hot off the press heat protectant and also nice little medium hold and then I'm going to round brush we're going to see if we can salvage the look of this style here oh all right get it somewhere and I'm going to go little 25 texture the tri razor so little 25 takes out 25 of the hair you can get this on freeslineeducation.com I'll just lighten this up a little bit then I can go right here and these are disconnected right because we cut one side different than the other side but all I need to do now I can take that 25 texture cut into it remove a little bit of weight from that fringe this works on any length fringe and I drop this down it's going to be the new the new trend here what do you guys think I want to do a little I kind of like how it's like four pretty cool right I mean this wasn't even supposed to be a real haircut but I got to be honest I'm I'd give this to somebody what do you guys think what I like about it what I think is cool is that it really made it so like if I let's say I brought all this over and cut it as a stationary guide which is what I probably would have done in the past if I would have done that it gets super heavy everywhere and it's also very heavy in this this corner and I'd always have to go in and cut into it so this technically solves all those problems and I barely had to do anything to the end result so this might be my new move on pixie cuts and we discovered it
