 Hey guys this is Tom Harris. Today I'm going to be sharing with you a great haircut to be used on your long hair guests. This haircut has great layers in it, it has great movement to it and it's a real simple and easy technique so you'll enjoy this one. Okay the first thing you're going to do is you're going to part the the hair down the middle using a center part and you're going to take the left side and not be we're going to be doing one side at a time. So your first side will be her right side and I'm going to take a diagonal back section right from the center part to slightly behind the ear. At that point you're going to take that section elevated at 90 degrees and you're going to be working from a shorter to longer position as you as you choose your length. Since we're going to be going into a shorter fringe length you're going to be working from a short length out to a longer length. As you elevate that hair at 90 degrees your finger position will be will be downward and your elbow will be up and that'll be the angle in which you're cutting at from shorter to longer. So your first section is is cut in that position directly after that you're going to take a second and a third section in that same position working from shorter to longer. Remember that your elbow has to be up in the air and that will be a guide for you to see where you're going from shorter to longer. As you move behind the ear where the hair gets longer into the nape you'll continue doing the same exact format working from shorter to longer and then as you start including the longer length you'll pull the hair directly out from the head in the middle of the head say probably near the occipital area you'll pull that hair straight out and you'll be cutting off a corner and that corner just will blend the layers a little bit smoother into the into the longer length and you'll work that section until you reach the center back starting on the left side the opposite side your body position will change you'll need to stand in back of the section so that you can still get that same shorter to longer elevation with your body and your arm. So instead of being in front on the left side you'll be on in the back of the section working from shorter to longer. As you do that you'll take your section and elevate it up at 90 degrees and you'll take a short piece by the fringe area from the opposite side as a clue to determine the exact length that you're going to be cutting from on the opposite side so that shorter piece will be your clue and you'll work from shorter by the fringe out to longer and on the top. You'll do those same sections moving back diagonal back until you reach behind the ear when you get behind the ear that's when you're including the longer length into the back and at that point you're still going up from shorter to longer going up at 90 degrees but then you'll be taking that longer length and elevating it out from the occipital bone area out and taking off that corner you'll move that that new section all the way until you reach center back and that will conclude both sides of the haircut. So for the blow dry we used the Nuro products by Paul Mitchell using lift which is a great volumizing foam and it's applied from scalp to ends onto the hair and blow dried into the hair. As you start getting that hair dry just with flat wrapping it I then moved into the round brush using the round brush and I used protect which is a thermal protectant spray to be used on your blow dries as well as any ironwork. It has our heat control technology in it which protects the hair and gives it a phenomenal finish. And for the final finish on the hair I used finish by Nuro and that's a hairspray that's also really excellent for giving protection to the hair as well as hold and that was our finishing spray and it came out fantastic. So this is the end result and you can see the the volume that this haircut produced into the hair and using those great styling products by Nuro we got this amazing result the volume the finish really came together great.
