How To Cut Perfect Face Framing Layers for Longer Hair - V-Shaped Layers

Hello everyone, today I'm Andrew Carruthers, Director of Education at Sambia. What we would love to share with you is a new technique on how to add

face

frames, so we have shown you a couple more techniques and what you can do is continue. Go to our YouTube page, do a little searching and you'll find other techniques for this as well, but what we want to do as a company is give you the most value possible and the way we do that is to give you. options because not every technique will be right for every client, so this is just a new idea and we'll talk a little bit about who it will suit best.

Let's get into the section, so we'll section Shana's

hair

here. find that high point of the head, it's the top sur

face

of the mountain, easy way to do it, take your comb horizontal with the floor, lower it where it touches the head first, it will be the highest point, make sure your clients They have a natural head. position when you do this we're going to find that high point and we're going to connect our point where the

hair

gets weak behind the ear, so if I go just to the top of the ear, what happens is this is the area where the density actually changes, so if you get to the top of the area, I actually have this area of ​​hair that's not going to be cut within that area, so coming from behind the ear here and following this line of the hair is going to make sure that we put everything we want on the side of the hair cut, so to isolate this, I'm going to grab one of our dry cut clips.

The nice thing about these clips is that they have a little piece of rubber in there that you can see and that helps to just hold the hair well between them and keep it flat so it doesn't add wrinkles to dry hair and it holds a lot of hair and everything. holds extremely well, so now we're going to mirror the same stripe on this other side. I'm going to find that point right behind the ear, I'm going to put a finger there, I'm going to put another finger here on the tooth and my comb and I'm just going to connect the points and that's going to give me a nice clean part, I'm going to take one more dry cut clip and do it.

I'll take it out of the ear. This way I've isolated our forehead to start this, now we're going to separate the top surface of the head and what that is is anything that lives above the curvature of the head. I'm almost right on its parts but I'm actually going to cut a little bit from there. I'm going to have you bow your head down a little bit and that will be our first goodbye to that party. What we're going to do, so. I'm going to grab the seven inch dry cutting scissors from our Signature Series because we have a lot of dry hair to handle here and these scissors have the strength in the blade to be able to hold this hair and not push it around, really.

I'm going to have you return to the natural head position. My overdirection is all forward, towards a square line in front, so I'm overdirecting to this almost imaginary wall in front of his face. My elevation is 90 degrees horizontal, which means horizontal and flat. with the floor now lengthwise, I just need to determine where my shortest point will fall. I would actually like it to be a fall around the jaw line so I just need to figure out well if I cut that length where is it going to fall and if you need to go ahead and take a little piece out and measure it yourself?

I'm pretty comfortable with that length so what we're going to do is cut in a V shape. This we want our longest points to be on the outside and our shortest point on the inside and you can see with that cutting shear in seven inch dry which makes pretty quick work of all that hair, it's a lot of hair because she has pretty thick hair. on the medium side but it definitely shines towards the thick side and when it's dry like this it tends to come off the shear so seven inch dry cutting scissors are great for this so what you can see will happen from that point is uniform.

I'm starting to get my shape built now, how do I tie it together? Also, I'm going to bring my part towards the center, and by the way, I'm coming from the center, because she moves her part, it doesn't always come out. off this side part, if it was always based on that side part, I would shift my center point to that place so it starts more evenly, so with this side what we're going to do now is bring the side in. the elevation remains the same 90 degrees horizontal and again the top direction is direct. I'm going to find my shortest point from my previously cut section and then I'm going to find my longest point on the perimeter here so I know if I save This piece here I'm not going to cut the perimeter and I'm going to go in and just connect the two.

The other good thing too is that it has a little heat damage around the front and this will eliminate all of that. and it's going to feel really fresh and really healthy, so let's step over to this side so we can work our section on this side again. The elevation is 90 degrees horizontal and that direction is direct toward the mirror. The angle of my finger is also vertical and then. once I find my section I stop my rose or my fingertips at the length I want and twist that knuckle until I find the length on the perimeter and I just cut it as long as my perimeter lengths are balanced now.

I'll have balance on both sides because I had a guide from the perimeter and the center that I put in that first section, so let's take these clips out, we'll just shake it up a little bit and see how this all turned out ooh, I like this. It's fresh for you, love, and today happens to be your birthday, so this is a great birthday haircut and like I said, the other benefit of that is that it really cuts a lot of the damaged hair that I had in the front. due to excess. tulle heat that I already talked to you about, now you know that to lower the flat iron we don't need to bake our hair with 450 degree flat irons, so again, just to recap the technique, we'll start here at the highest point. our line just behind the ear where the hair gets weaker and the hairline drops do that on both sides our next section is at the top of the head round above the parietal crest area and making sure we are right on the top surface, that section is in all directions directly towards a wall and the elevation is horizontal 90 degrees horizontal flat with the floor we are cutting that V shape into, make sure to give yourself a visual cue of where that first length is going to be on the face and it's something that you want it to hit, we cut that V shape and then we go down the sides again.

The elevation is 90 degrees horizontal and forward is our top direction and we connect the longest short point of our V shape and the top up to the lengths and the perimeter is actually a pretty simple technique and I think if you look at this several times it will be something that you can have ownership of what it's great for, it's for these means to uniforms. thicker hair because you have a lot of

layers

and a lot of shine through this, so this will be great for those girls who need that movement. We hope you enjoyed the technique and if you have any questions, please add your comments in the box just below the screen and we will do our best to get back to you.

Thanks so much for looking. I'm Andrew Carothers.
