haircut

. I know a lot of you asked for

haircut

s so I'm going to show you a haircut and how to do a bob haircut. This is a great classic haircut, especially with a little modern twist, so I'm going to show you exactly how to do it. We are making progress. I'm really excited to make this video today because a lot of you have asked me to do some regular haircuts. I know. A lot of times you want to see really fancy things, but you also want to know how to do those standard haircuts, but you have people coming in asking all the time, so I've got my mom back and we're bringing her back. and I'm going to make her bob haircut.

This is a really simple haircut and it's a really cool technique that you can use on a lot of your clients and you probably already have a lot of women asking for this haircut so let's get started. Alright, so where did you start your haircut? Actually, I'll first start parting where it naturally hurts, so I'd like to comb it all the way back and then push it forward, you guys can see how. I think you probably do that with your clients and I see where their hair naturally parts so we can see the kind of falls right there.

It has a very strong cowlick here, so I know that's a pretty good area in order. to find your part, so from there we're going to comb it all the way down, clean it up a little bit since I grabbed it, so we're going to go all the way down and just part it from there and What I'm going to do is find kind of an apex that's right here, you can see it right there and I'm going to take the line from here and I'm going to dry. Draw a line all the way to the back behind your ear.

Now, one thing you can do to make the section a little bit easier is what you want to do is connect your comb up to your finger, so I'm going to type. from placing my finger and this starts to come out naturally over time, but right behind her ear, I find my apex, draw that line and now I can easily comb that section which is really nice and clean, so I'm not going to save this. I'm just going to turn it out of the way and then do the same thing on the other side, so now that I have the front from the back and the two quadrants, I'm going to find where I left it. part of that apex and again she has a little bit of a cowlick, so this is a great way to determine where her hair needs to be parted.

I usually do a little diagonal back depending on where her part is. so it's not like back here, so I'm going to do a little diagonal back, you can see it goes into that turn a little bit, so again I'm going to find the middle of his neck with my finger. and I'm going to draw and connect the dots, so we're going to go straight down, divide it into two quadrants, and then from here, what I'm going to do is find your occipital bone. right there and I'm going to connect from your occipital bone to about the middle of your mastoid process, so I'm going to do it on this side which I'm going to show you guys on the other side here and you can always do that.

Like connecting my fingers, we're going to trim the top of the path, so now I have my connection point here, this is right above the occipital and it might be a little bit lower, you guys can see that occipital bone. in a way you can do and find the occipital bone. I learned this trick from Travis Parker, but you can see where his hair starts to round out, his head, you can see here's my comb on that plane and here it is. the other plane you can see right there where it doesn't touch either, so it's right there, so a little bone is a little bit lower, but I'm happy with that and then this is the mastoid process of it, but right behind it. her here, so I'm going to find kind of a middle ground there and again I'm going to find my finger and just connect the dots and this makes the section so

easy

and really clean and not having to go back and clean things up and just take that out of the way so you can see I have my two diagonal sections of the back going straight down, so now what I'm going to do is go towards my client, but what's down and tilt her head down and then I'm going to comb the whole thing. this section down and I'll go in with my scissors and today we're going to remove about three quarters of an inch, so I like it especially on clients where we're going to cut nicely. right into that neckline that I like to go through and I use the fine tooth comb on our fine tooth side of my comb and I just comb this down here and I go right in and I don't even have any lifts in my hair. and we just cut along this and I'm going to round it a little bit a little bit more towards the corners.

I'm actually following the lines of where she cut her hair earlier, so same thing, I'm just spinning. my body in every way is the same on this side and I like to cut this at zero elevation like I said without holding it between my fingers just

cutting

it right on that skin since I don't even go back in you can see how They use a small baby here , so she peeks out and I always check, I make sure I check the links on both sides well and now I'm going to take a section about an inch from there and I'm going to continue down this section until I've completely finished the back and then times, when they get to this corner because now we're getting a little bit higher.

I always keep it tight to the party or just out, I'm not spinning with her body. I'm actually oversteering it back to keep some of that length, so sometimes in these corners after that first section that's going to be where you can see the rest of it. I'm still

cutting

straight at the party. down or natural fall and then also straight up okay so now that I've finished the whole rear section everything was cut off to pretty much zero degrees except you can say I directed these too far back so now I'm going to go to the side and I personally like to split the right side down the middle, down, nothing too complicated there, so I'm going to take my tapered side of my comb, comb it all down and I'm just going to cut it off.

Also again it's kind of a natural fall and one thing to be careful with if you can see there's a little bit more length here. I always angle it a little bit so it's a little bit longer in the front, just a little bit

short

er. On the back, we're not doing anything dramatic, you know, fancy spice, it's really long here, but we also don't want to make it so that it starts growing and as it dries it gets

short

er in the front. I definitely don't. I don't want that to not be the most flattering angle for most clients, so what we're going to do is comb it down and one thing you have to remember is that there's an ear here, so sometimes you can loosen that a little bit. tension here and I'm just going to connect the dots here because I comb her hair quite frequently.

I know a lot about how much I take off at any given time, but like you need to know. your clients will start to know those things that they prefer their legs to sit on, so I'm not going to ask her, okay, it's okay if I take that much, but that would be something you definitely want to discuss. Well, in the consultation we're going to do the same thing on the other side, exactly the same, so once I cut both sides, I always like to look in the mirror to make sure that you know everything is exactly in place.

You can also stand in front. of the client and do that, but for me I think just looking in the mirror is perfect for both sides to see each other, even if something was a little off, you just want to go back and double check, but you didn't elevate or something, like that that now that we've gone through our entire perimeter, we're going to cut out our layers, so now what I'm going to do is comb everything out, remove all of my sections. I'm going to take just one party right here, in the back, in the middle of the back, and this is going to be where I set my guidelines, so I'm going to style this.

You can see I don't like breaking it down into sections. Take everything out and cut it out. I'm more of a free form cutter, so it's okay if it's not exactly perfect, but I'm going to hold this at a 45 degree angle and all I'm going to do is I'm just going to remove a little bit of that little bit from that corner. and then I'm going to take that exact same section and I'm going to fold it down, huh. I think this is a low 45 if I'm wrong. correct me in the comments again, you guys know I'm not a very technical hair cutter, so here we go, we have our 45 high, we cut that corner the same thing under 45, now what I'm going to do is 'I'm literally going to take this and this is going to be my travel guide, so I'm just going to take pivot radials and travel with the guide, meaning I took my guide here and then I'm going to split it in half. and I'm going to move past this here instead of directing it back to the free base section, so I'm just going to take this and the only time I'm going to direct it back a little bit is when I get nice. from here right behind the ear because I want to make sure that we keep some of this weight behind the ear and we don't end up with a hole, so we're going to rotate this again, the same thing about 45 and You'll notice some of the hair falls out because it's not necessary, at this point it's too short and they're going to take our low angle here and just so you know, a lot of people ask me how much.

Do they take it away again? This is a haircut I give him all the time, so his hair had grown about three-quarters of an inch since we last cut it, so that's what I'll take away from him if you ever ask him. How much did I take from him last time? Hair usually grows about half an inch a month and I looked at its roots for its color to determine how much we needed to cut to maintain that type of haircut, so I definitely did something, a little trick that I use when you forget how much time has passed or clients tell you to do the same thing, you just follow the lines of what you did last time and now we're getting to that little section right behind the ear, so I'm going to overdrive all of these slightly back here.

I actually overdirect this one a little bit back. These here in front. Actually, I'm not going to do the 45 bass. I'm just going to stop. a little bit more framing of the face, but we want to make sure we get that into the layers and then we'll literally do the same thing going through the other side. Now sometimes people like to just change their body and I personally have always stayed standing. On the same side as my client, you have to be careful because when you steer too much, for example, on this side, you're pulling him away from your body, but when you steer too much or steer too far back, on this side, you're pulling him toward your body, so you just want to make sure that if you're doing it at 45, you're doing a low 45, you just want to make sure that you're aware of what your body is doing and what you're not doing. something where you're directing too much on one side one way to tell if that's happening to you is if one side ends up much heavier with layers or one side ends up with much shorter layers, it's usually because your body was directing something too much or not. do a true forty-five or you're bringing it closer to your body so be really aware of that and sometimes that happens, sometimes you need to go back and double check and sometimes you might need to pull just a one little more weight in that area and be really aware of your body, so now we'll continue.

I'm going to keep doing this section and you guys can watch for a long time now that we're done with all of our layers. I like to take another section and just clean it up a little bit, so I always take a straighter cross section here again, maybe with a more shape. free. I won't like to pull it all apart, I just do it with my fingers here, but I'm looking outside the line of your part, so I'm going to fold it up to the part and clean it up a little bit and you'll tend to see a little bit.

You won't really see more of a V on this one because it won't be a crazy D, but you might see a little bit of a based on its part, so now that we've done all that, I'm going to dry it out. and then we're going to finish the dry cut, okay, we just finished our blow drying. I haven't even come in with anything, you guys are happy, you guys can already see she's getting some good lifts in there, so what am I going to do? What I have to do is literally follow the same sections that I had done before and you can see that we have a lot of weight accumulated here and you can see that I made spot cuts when I did it. cut it out, but now what I want to do is make a deeper point cut and a little bit more, just break up that texture, so now you guys can see a lot more texture there and I'm actually going to do the Same thing with 45 and then a low 45 just to break that up and get rid of a lot of weight.

She has a lot of weight in her hair and her hair tends to be pretty flat, so you definitely want to hit it. a little bit of texture and kind of splitting it up, so I'm going to follow our same pattern and make it deep. an irregular II point that cuts whatever you want to call it and then continues there. Another reason I also like to do it this way is that it allows me to go back and review my haircut so that you guys can see that there is actually a little bit of length that I left here must have been something thatHe overdirected and, hey, that happens to all of us.

I'm going to go through it and clean it up a little bit, but let me come back. Come in and check my haircut, that's something that's really helpful, especially when you're first starting out, you might be a little nervous, like who did I miss a section or something heavy or why is it heavy? Just come back and sort of. Go back over your section and check, hey, did I go too heavy on something or is it a little heavier on one area? And doing it while you're texturing allows you to not feel uncomfortable in front of the client where you are. like combing their hair, which allows you to kill two birds with one stone, so their hair is definitely a little thinner here in front of their ears, so I don't really have a ton of texturing to do back there. there's a shroud in this later section, so I'm going to keep going through the head and show you what we're going to do next, so you can see his layers, they're really pretty. because we told you too much, you can see it's a little bit longer, like hugging this end.

I still feel like there's a little bit of weight here, she's definitely holding a lot of weight in this lower section, so what am I doing? What I'm going to do is take the same section that I did for our haircut when we started, trim this out of the way again, it doesn't need to be perfect at all. I'm going in. with my thinning scissors and I just have a little bit more texture down here, you can use the point cut. Personally, I don't like thinning scissors because they allow me to go in a little deeper, so I'm going to do it gently. of a 45 under and instead of going right in and just cutting this, I really don't like to see a lot of these short pieces in there, so I'm going to make a notch right here, you guys could see I'm just getting there and that allows you to have a little bit more texture again, so it's not just like a short strand of hair, it's almost a slide cut with our thinning scissors and it allows you to not have lines or anything, especially because a lot of times clients down here have a strand down here, we don't want to add anything else to it, we don't want to make it harder for her, so we just slide cut and get a little bit more. of that weight down here I like to do it with thinning scissors, again you could do it with normal scissors.

I really like how this looks a little bit easier and a little bit less complicated, so I'm going to do it just to Finish off this little bottom section here, okay, one more texturing technique that I'm going to do because, again, she has this type really flat, limp hair that doesn't want to do much. I want to add a little bit more inner texture just to hopefully give it a little bit more volume, so pretty much everything behind the ears I'm going to redo the same section that I've been doing and do the same, same kind of cut of splice, now I'll keep it around two. inches and a half from the root, so we don't want to get too close to the root because otherwise you might get funky calyx and stuff, but we just added a little bit of internal texturing and again used these thinning scissors.

I really like them and it works well, so I'm going to frame her face and I just like to add a little bit of facial training for her, so I'm going to hold this down and just do a little slide cut here, nothing too crazy, she doesn't it needs a big piece, but she likes a little bit of face for me and just a little bit to finish this off around her face, so we'll connect this. There, she just gives it this nice little burst piece right there and sometimes I even take this and just a little bit of texture here, she doesn't really need it, it's pretty thin, so that's right there we are.

I'll do the same thing on the other side okay I'm really good with this but just to clean up his hairline go ahead and look down at me so what I like to do is go in with my scissors and just make sure I've cleaned every little thing, that everything is very good, so I'm going to go through it here and one thing that you guys can also do is you can see that it's a little bit solid there, you can go through it and clean it up. lift it up with your scissors, but if you really don't like how solid it is, you can take your thinning scissors and lift it up here, you guys can see it here and you can make a notch like this or you can go straight. and I just soften that line a little bit there, a little bit here, so we're so slightly and then what I like to do is you guys should have one of these hairs under here, those are going to like the hairs on the neck, so I went with my trimmers and tried to clean up that line, so even though they are clients, I still have justice for this reason, especially when it comes to your clients Bob, who have a little hair on their neck, sometimes not really. see also it's kind of cleaning up these little guys and i'm here create a stronger line get rid of that peach fuzz that a lot of us have this is great especially if you're doing dixie clients or just for fun shorter bottom okay and here is the final result of our haircut.

You can see how beautiful and stacked it looks and just the fun layers we have there we definitely have some great movement there and it will be a really fun haircut it grows really well and your clients are going to love it guys I hope you enjoyed this video and again I would love for you to hit that subscribe button and make sure you hit the notification bell because I want to make sure you guys won't miss any videos like this.
