 Okay so today on the vlog I have a special treat for you guys I decided to do some men's cutting. Got a cool mannequin from Pivot Point so thank you to them. What we did was a disconnected undercut it's got a lot of wave and texture on the top so I played with that a little bit. We also carved in the part with the scissor so you can do it with a razor blade as well or clippers or whatever you want but we did it with scissors today and that's pretty much it. You guys are going to like it. We're going to get started with the step by step. Here we go. All right so we're going to start off this haircut by section off the head. The left hand side line is our part so right there is our parting and the other side is going to go a little bit deeper which will be our disconnection side. Now we're going through clipper over comb. I'm working diagonal back. Only what I'm trying to do right now is determine the length that I want the haircut. See the flow of the hair especially when somebody has longer hair and you're going shorter. I like to start off and just kind of work my way down to see how that hair is going to fall and especially on a mannequin I want to see how that's going to fall as well. I want you guys to really see and remember that I'm working that clipper from the face back to the back of the head. That's going to be important when we get to the next side. So I'm just working through tapering it so I'm starting closer to the head towards the bottom and then as I work my way up I lift the comb out. The more you lift the comb out the more weight you're going to build up so you want to make sure that you're building up the right amount of weight that you want and that your guest wants. So on this side now you're going to see I'm still working that clipper from the face to the back. It's really important that you keep the same flow with every tool that you use so whether you're using scissors or clippers I like to make sure that my blades are moving in the same direction because that's going to keep the hair flow going in the same direction. So still working diagonal back getting that bulk out of there. Now I'm going to move into my scissors. This scissor I got back out for I haven't had it out in quite a while. This is my blacksmith fit scissor. It's a six and a half inch scissor pretty much works for any type of cutting. This was the first scissor I ever got from Mizutani and every time I go back to it I don't understand why I don't use it more often because it's such an awesome scissor. So now I want to focus on scissor over comb. This is going to be my detail work and I know a lot of you out there thinking he could do this with clipper blades or clipper guards and have it done. Now my thought process on this is I like to really work I have the freedom when I'm working scissor over comb to move, shift the comb in, shift it out as I'm moving up the head. The head is not a perfect shape. So when you're running a clipper over it sometimes for me and this isn't for everybody I get that bounce of the clipper guard on the head and it's riding the ridges of the head. So I would rather have a more custom feel using a comb and working one little section at a time. That's just me personally. I know a lot of you out there use the clipper guards totally cool and a lot of people do beautiful work with them but for me in this type of cut it's not super short I like to use scissor over comb. So I'm going through just doing a little detail work around the ears we'll do more with a clipper later and then just tapering that edge. So I went through quickly with the clipper over comb and then I go through and I start really detailing the edges with the scissor over comb. You notice how I tap the hair into the comb there? That just allows me to kind of lock the hair in and then work that scissor over comb. And now what I'm doing is I'm looking on each side so I'll step back, I'll take a look at it from every angle and I want to make sure that I have a nice flat feel to the scissor over comb section and I'm working you'll see when I work up I want to take that wait line out a little bit with a mannequin it's tough to get that wait line out but as I work around that ridge my comb will actually follow the round of the head a little bit. Alright so now we're going in with our t-trimmer this is also from Andis just going through and detailing the edges there's not a lot of freedom in a mannequin but I do you know I like working with mannequins because first off I spend a lot of time doing these cuts to make sure that I can give you guys the detail work that we did we want and sometimes when you're working with a real guest it's they're more antsy to get out of the chair so we take what we can get. Alright so now I'm working with a I'm carving in the part with my scissor all I'm doing is keeping that steady blade and drawing that line this works really well it doesn't seem like it would cut that much hair it doesn't but it does cut that perfect line in there so if you guys want to try that out I think it's a really cool trick and it's not shaving in the part but you could always detail your line and then go in and shave it after if you want to so I'm over directing everything back to the crown I'm really connecting the the mid part of the haircut in the back so it's starting off first three sections go back to the previous so we're creating more of a square feel and you can see my top diagram that was really late last night that I did that and it looks crazy but we'll take what we can get there as well so now I go through first three sections are to the previous so a traveling guide and then we move to a stationary guide when we get three sections in just to build a little extra length in the front got a rusell pomade I love this stuff so if you guys haven't checked out this company they're really awesome so we're gonna start by putting that in the hair kind of slicking down the sides a little bit and then throwing in the top I love the texture of this cut I know it's a little bit crazy and it's kind of reminding me of my own hair I don't really know I guess maybe that was my inspiration this today but I did see a lot of men's cuts online when I was looking it up that have this kind of messed up style extra long on the top a lot of guys want to grow their hair out but they want to keep that tapered side so there you go I love the curl in the wave and how it shifts through so I hope you guys can use this cut let me know how you do in the comments below and once again if you like this video hit the like button hit the share button subscribe to our channel there's a lot more haircuts to come new haircuts every day at 10 a.m. thanks for watching guys you like it you wish you had this much hair
