One Length Bob Haircut Tutorial

So today we are going to cut a single

length

bob. I am very excited to share with you this technique that many of you have been asking me for. Let's go over all the different technical things that create a really nice pick like Bob's. Of today's tools, what we're going to use is a YS Park, which is the wider Park three 3:9 comb, really like this for precision cuts and then I'm using the same scissors yesterday. This is the scissors Mizutani made for me. There are some left in free song education. Don't worry, if you want one, I don't know if it will be there again.

What I really want to focus on first is this. The section The section is very simple. I started right where the separation is. On the left side we take that section all the way down and then once I get to the crown area, that's where I change this line to a slight diagonal and then go down the center of the back and then create that line in the center of the back. I'm going from the occipital bone to just behind, a little bit below the ear and a slight diagonal line forward, so again you want to make sure you have even saturation when you're trying to create a precise line that you don't want. of the hair to dry some of the hair to be wet and dry it shrinks a little bit so make sure that when you do the part you want you need to have even saturation everywhere so with the body position I want to have a nice head and high, almost chest height, the way I do this in the living room is that a lot of times the chair doesn't go that high.

I sit up so I can put my eyes at the level of the

haircut

. The biggest mistake we make as hair cutters is that many times we bend over to cut a line to lower the head and when you do that you tilt your eyes and when you tilt your eyes it is difficult to cut a straight line every time you cut the feet must be quite square with your shoulders bend your legs keep your back straight so you don't slouch so cutting then keep your eyes flat your eyes parallel to the scissors and then you cut the line that will give you a straighter line.

I'm going to use the wide teeth of the comb with as little tension as possible. Hold the comb like this. I'm going to go about a half inch from the hairline for me, the longer you go, the harder it will be to get that pile or that type of hair will become too voluminous. You could cut it long as long as you wanted, but for me, like when you're at the grocery store and you see that person who has that really blunt

haircut

and it looks weirdly piled in the back and really thick, a lot of that comes from choosing the

length

and the density, about an inch or half an inch from the hairline and I'm I'm going to go over here all parallel and start my line now.

I'm not going to go too extreme with the first part of the cut. I just want to start putting my guide in there and then I'm going to go over my eyes which are at level I. I'm not even combing my hair at this point and I'm going to continue that line just using the tip of the scissors to cut. The reason I use the tip of the scissor and not the entire scissor is because once the hair ends up in this area of ​​the blade, it starts to push the weight, so if I come in here and start cutting the hair , I would push it and then get a weird line, so I just go in with the tip and work my way.

I'm moving my body because I'm trying to show it to you in the room. I wouldn't be walking like that so I comb my hair down, keep my eyes square and go over it and cut and continue that line if I wanted to follow the shape of the head then I would just continue this line. I want to bring this hair back just a little bit a little bit in the direction so what I'm going to do is I'm going to slide my scissors up and my comb and I'm going to pull it towards me and then I'm going to continue with my cut like that, what it's going to do is just push it a little bit. of weight in this corner area, so I'll do the same on the opposite side. side, I've got a little bit left here, so I'm going to pick it up, slide my comb up under it, tap it down on the comb and then I'm going to go back across with my hand like this, so now I want to see my line.

If this join line doesn't work, then you don't want to move forward because the entire haircut will be cut at that point, so you can step back, take a look, make sure those lengths are good every time I pick this up and pull of it back over the steering to give it a little bit of lift, so when you release it down you'll see some of those little hairs sticking out. I just take a little bit off, not a lot, and I want to keep that line, I want to keep that length, but I just clean it up a little bit, okay.

I'm going to work about a half inch at a time straight across the length of the head, so a nice clean part, comb it down and fix this hair. and then I slide my clip under the hair just like that and that helps keep it up and tight so it's out of the way. The other thing I'm not doing is not tilting my head too far forward, it's just a slight forward tilt. Actually, that's just because we're working on a length, so I want to make sure I'm constantly looking at it from the way that I'm going to wear it and really what I'm looking for is I want this hair. to rest against the other hair, I comb this down like this and then I go through it and I cut the first piece and then on the edge of the corner I slide my comb down and I cut it like this, now I like to go both. sides and work because I'm cutting this whole square on the back.

I don't mind working back and forth making sure it looks nice and balanced all the way through, okay the last part slide that comb under again. Using that tip now, if I were to create a graduated Bob, I would do pretty much exactly what I just did and then at this point, when it gets past the occipital bone, I would start to slightly elevate the hair bringing it up to this part. A lot of people start their graduation right away, which is fine, but I like to have a little bit of extra density at the bottom because the head shape curves inward and then when the head shape starts to curve Outwards, that's when I start to rise.

It's because now you can see that I really have a nice light shape because of the shape of the head, so you have to take into account what the shape of the head does and how that affects your haircut, so the tension of the comb comes when cutting. and then under the riser and this will be a little repetitive as I work on it, but then we'll dry it out and I'll do some dry cut details so you guys can see it too, so now we're getting better at it. to where it's going to meet the temple area, so I take another parting and this one goes all the way around the head, then I'm going to figure out where the corner type is on the shape of the head, that's what I'm going to go over. -It comes right back towards me a little bit, so I look at where that corner is, I bring it towards me just a little bit, there I cut my line, I let it fall, that preserves that corner and this is where you want the head to be.

Definitely nice and straight, so I'm combing this down and now I'm going to bring my line like this to the front again using the tip of the scissors and we're going to create a flat line today, but you can angle this line if you wanted, it just depends on whatever you are looking for. I'm also going to continue on this whole side and I'm just following this guide now, going straight, and then cutting a nice blunt line right now, there's barely any tension. not at all on this haircut, I'm just combing it slightly down looking where my guide is and going through and cutting when I blow dry it, that's when I'm going to, you know, do a little more detail, work all that out, but you I can see how nice and forceful that line really is, that's because there was no tension if I had a lot of tension in this, if I pull it down and you see with tension, see what kind of jagged that line is, that's where if I would have cut it.

If it had appeared and then the line would have been jagged how you wear it how it wants to fall naturally now this is what's happening in the back now I'm working on the heavy side of the haircut this is where all the density is definitely you want to make sure the head is straight as you move it, make sure your guest doesn't turn her head, so now once I make the cut there, I cut straight and now I'm going to cut. keeping a little bit of that corner, not a lot, but following that guide a little bit and now here's the other thing, now that I cut this on this side and I also have my reference on the other side, now I'm going to look and make sure that they are balanced, just pray to the gods.

Now I'm going to continue to comb the hair in the direction I want to part it and work my way around the head, so again I tilt it slightly keeping what I have. I'm working flat in front of me, my eyes level little tension and I'm working right now. I'm going to style all the hair at its natural fall, so I style it at its natural fall. I want to make sure I can see my guide and It's very important within the crown area to make sure that all the hair falls naturally, how it wants to fall, so don't force it to one side, making sure to work that strand and wherever it goes. the hair falls out on its own. where you comb it and then I go over here and work my line, so now we have our blunt line, so what I'm going to do is make a flat wrap.

I'm going to this. It's actually a new product from Joy Cow Blonde Life, although it's not a super blonde bright tone violet smoothing mousse, so the great thing about this is giving it to your blondes and it's a violet mousse to tone their hair while blow drying. I want to put it in my hair. I can run it through my hair with my hands, but then the last thing I'm going to do is brush it so the product gets into everything. Look where the line is. I don't want to. I work this part every time I try to work something in its natural fall, what I do is I wrap it around the head and I work that part back and forth.

I don't want a part there because I want to create uniform volume. along the entire top of the head so I can push the hair where I want it to go in the end, so I'll start my flat wrap working up and up for the person who doesn't want the hair in their face. This is a nice up and up movement like this and then you can work it to the other side and then to the opposite side. The brush I'm using is the Paul Mitchell 4:13 and this one has a very light shimmer. tension so that it allows there to still be a good amount of volume in the hair and it also detangles very well for this particular bob.

I don't want it to be too flat for the head, so I'll jump across it. so I blow dry it and then I grab a small section of hair and lift it up and blow dry it with the comb and lift it up and blow dry it. Observe that the air flow passes over the cuticle of the hair that will deposit it. make it nice and shiny, keep the frizz away, if you're constantly working the hair it's just going to open up that cuticle and make the hair frizzy so making sure you're constantly wrapping it up is key.

The air flow goes down. The dryer doesn't even move. My brush does all the work. The same. Wrap flat over and over again. What you are doing is initially taking the hair giving it a little volume but using the head. like a roller and giving it a slight curl so watch how I blow dry it and it starts to dry and when I comb it down it forms a nice soft little curve through it. You also saw the long pieces on the side that's because this haircut is cut to have a side part and this is where a lot of people make big mistakes because when they bring the hair here and see this long strand it actually lives on this side, they take it and cut it you never want to go through and just cut the things you see because they usually have a purpose.

Another little tip with the blow dryer is when you think it's dry, it goes a little bit longer because you go from damp to dry to damp to curly type to soft and that's where you want to sit, you want to sit in the soft category and you don't want to work both with an iron, right? because damage will occur if you use the iron too much, okay? so now let's iron it real quick. Do I have a favorite Flatiron brand? Yes, Paul Mitchell, this Paul Mitchell neuro straightener heats up super fast in seconds and not like a minute, seconds, but 10 seconds, so my summary of the foam that I used purple foam to tone blonde hair.

It has a kind of texture that you feel in your hair, so my recommendation with this product, what I like to do is just give you my honest opinion about it. I think it would be great for blonde hair. Hair feels very conditioning. I think that's probably why it has that kind of feeling. I would go lighter with the product I put a lot on this Bob for my clients who have blonde hair. I think it's probably really beneficial and if I read. this uses the hair to hydrate, whatever the name is, oils, and instantly removes bronzes for a bright blonde finish, removing brassy tones, conditioning the hair with oils, those oils are what I feel in my hair.

I like to gather my own opinions on products beforehand. If you tell me what it's going to be,I've definitely been known to accidentally put shampoo in my hair because I didn't read the description and didn't try to comb it once. I put on a YouTube video and used the product it was. foaming shampoo and I thought this doesn't feel good and then I posted it on YouTube and someone says, I use this for shampooing, what are you thinking? So far, you could see that the line looks pretty good, but I just want to go over it and refine it, so what I'm going to do is tilt my head down slightly and comb through.

I use it with an even wider tooth comb, so this is why Park 3-3 should be combed. This one has super wide teeth, it has wide teeth, so I'm not pulling any tension at all, it's just controlling the hair at this point. I comb it down and then level it again now. In the living room I would use a cutting stool. I would sit down and then be at eye level. Now I'm going to go through just the tip of the scissors and create whatever. the line is what I want so you can get fancy with your line or you can just go over and clean up what you created in the wet cut.

I'll go flat with the blade after doing a little bit with the tip so tip: I'll remove the length like the actual parts that stick out a little bit more and then when I have the length where I want it, just to clean up and create a really nice sharp line, then step with the blade. A little more flattering, another cool trick I learned from my friend Josh DiMarco is to take some hairspray and comb it through your hair. This is a nice firm hold hairspray. This is Joy Co Joy Mist Firm, super strong hold, but I just put that on. in the hair, place the hair exactly where I want it and then go through and cut the line, they actually hold the hair in place a little bit and just so you know, the little trick of the trade is that all these people have posted all these haircuts really sharp hair with these sharp lines it takes a lot of time to detail those lines it's not like you just do it all on the dry cut or the wet cuts.

I'm so amazing at this, that's not how it works, you really get a fine. -I adjusted it so that it is exactly where they want you to understand the essentials.
