Pixie Haircut Tutorial Plus Bonus Pink Hair Color How To

welcome to today's video, we're going to go over a

pixie

cut, a

pink

pixie

, in fact, it's going to be a pixie undercut, very nice disconnect at the top, we're going to

color

it

pink

at the end. I think you guys are going to really like this video, so today the section will be pretty simple. I start at the parietal crest and work my way back, so look for that point of recession that you want to make sure that the upper section that you're sectioning isn't too wide and can really pull. With this

hair

cut you are also trying to give some texture to the top of your head.

If you go too low on the parietal crest, the

hair

will start to hang down in the final look, so a nice rectangular shape reaches to the middle of the head. the crown area and we separate that top part. Now I'm using Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Express I dry, it's the lightweight turbo dryer, so it's a new Paul Mitchell dryer. I'm going to use this to dry the bottom. of the head, so after shampooing, I always like when I use my clipper to not go in with wet hair, it just helps everything get into the clipper better and also keeps the hair nice and soft and removes any calyx so you can just it happens and you cut it really nice and all the hair is the right way so i'm using my andis cordless clipper and i'm also using a double guard to start with and that's really just to get rid of the bulk, that's also really where i want it to end up the hair approximately at the parietal crest, so I start by removing all that volume, that makes it easier for me some people like to start with that short section, they leave the long hair there first, I like it better to get it out of the way, especially If I'm going to cut everything at a level 2 anyway, so I'll work the Clipper back and forth.

The key with using a hair clipper guys is just to make sure that you don't just go in one direction because the hair grows in multiple directions, even though we blow dry it to prep the hair, it's still good to go back and forth. back in different directions to make sure you get everything you can. now I jump up to zero guard and this is a trick that I want you to try when you're working in the salon, especially if you're not a barber. I won't be making this video for barbers if you are a hairdresser and not used to using clippers, use the highest clippers first, take out most of it, you can go in with the lowest clippers and draw a line around the shape of the head, this is something I've really been working on.

Some barber friends came over and filmed some videos, so I learned a few things. I really like to work with my lower guard all the time creating that line and really just drawing an outline of where I want the shadow to be on the

haircut

, so I'm going to do a lower fade, so I want the weight to go down. right in the occipital bone area and then I clean the rest in zero guard. Now this is Mary. I have made multiple cuts to Mary that you have seen. them on YouTube, sure she really wanted to be nice and short, she showed me this really short haircut, so I thought it was really cool to be able to go in and try those fade techniques, so now I jump to a guard and that guard.

It's going to be completely open, so you're still going to see a line following the crest of the head, but you're going to notice that that line really hugs the shape of the head and that's what you want because you really want to accentuate the shape of his head, so I work. On my way through there, a completely open guard, you'll still see that line because we're going from a zero guard to an open guard, so there's going to be a little bit of shadow there, so I'll just make my way through until then. I'm going in with my YS Park barber comb.

This is available in free education in classrooms. I think it's both, I don't actually remember the number, but just look for barber combs in free salon education. You can see this one there. I used this for my clipper over the comb, so I close the clipper blade completely and I go over it and just remove some of that shadow. That's my personal preference. You can also do it with a protector, so now clean this. I picked it up at the last hair show I was at in Philadelphia at the Andis booth, so I paid my own money for it, but I really like this trimmer, so I like it.

I like a T trimmer for all the details. it cuts very well it has a lot of power and it's cordless I like working with cordless tools so now I wet the top of my head this is the haircut for me that gets interesting and I think this is where I think a lot of people have challenges. We're going to be doing a lot of movements at the top of the head, so make sure you stay focused, don't worry about pausing it, rewinding it and really looking at the section that I'm taking, so this first section that I take I do well. at the crown and then I comb it all over, this is actually where the cowlick area is and what I wanted to do is create a line.

Now I'm trying to be a little more creative with this cut, so what I'm going to do is Create a stationary guide, the hair cuts will flow to the right side, so I'm taking forward diagonal partings and I'm directing them to that stationary guide and what that will do is grow, not grow, but push more length towards the right ear. Then you'll start to see that line sort of unfolding, so I keep taking diagonal partings forward, bringing them closer and cutting them with my fingers, palm to palm, so notice, I'm going to comb this, notice that line across and it's just one line asymmetrical looks really good on the head and now I'm going to connect it almost like a U shape and I'm going to start another stationary guide for the top of the head, so I think it was great this cut because Obviously, we styled everything towards this On the other hand, it's very heavy, but what I'm doing is taking a ton of weight off the back of my head and pushing it to the front, so what's that going to do?

This gives me more hair to play with in the cutting part and also removes that bulk from the back of the head. I should also mention that the scissors I'm using are my new scissors that just came out and are available for free in-salon education. com, so if you are looking for a new scissor, it was hand made in Japan by Mizutani. I am very proud of this scissors. I was involved in the entire design of the scissors, so I love every single spec of it, how it fits in my hand and everything, so I know you'll like it too.

A lot of thought went into this scissor, and just finishing it, everything keeps coming to that stationary guide and now you can see that wait, it's not an attractive look, but it's not. how you're going to use it, you're going to use it all the way to the other side, so that's where that weight is going to go. Now I'm going to connect this line up to the front area of ​​the forehead, so I comb it all out and keep bringing it. Pass it towards me and tell me to finish the hair so that there is no hair that reaches this side.

Now, doing this, if you think about it, I'm cutting it horizontally, so I'm really focused on that shape and what the angles are going to be. we're going from a horizontal line aspect, but when you look at this shape, if it took exactly the same thing vertically, it would be a very collapsed shape when it would fall to the other side, if that makes sense, then we're really collapsing to the left. -the right side of the head and pushing all that weight to the right side, so now I continue that line all the way, directing everything back and just connecting it and then from there I have my guide and now we're working with the heavy part of the head, that's why I say this is interesting because a lot of people just cut their line and then apply a bunch of texturing techniques to eliminate the bulk, but nothing really has a rhyme or reason to it.

The reason I'm raising the hair now is because this is the heavy side of the head, so I want to elevate it. I switch to a spot cutting technique instead of a blunt cut because I want to add more texture and remove some more weight. the lines that I'm creating and I'm directing everything back so I blow dry it and then what I'm going to do is go in and

color

it and then when I rinse the color out and blow dry it. once again, then we'll go in and do our dry cutting technique, so Paul Mitchell pop XG is a fantasy color.

I mixed pink, red, and hot pink, and like I mixed tons of peach, we wanted to make a pink color that was just a little bit more earthy looking, so it wasn't just a really bright fantasy color, it was a little bit softer, so which I think you guys will like the end result, so I just painted that on the completely stripped ends, painting it over the fact. that she already has blonde hair, so you want to make sure that if you're going to apply colors like this, especially lighter pastel II colors, to your guests, make sure they're nice and light, they have to be at least a level nine to really get the right effect, so Mary we have been bleaching her hair for quite some time.

She wanted to try something new, so the pink suited her and she also faded it, so she then she faded it and also toned her hair. You see, but notice the smoking type I really love the movement and everything and now I go and do some dry cutting techniques. I start with the spot cut because I really wanted to break up the lines we created. the top, so we made some pretty blunt lines to direct everything back to that stationary guide, so what cutoff point does it make? I just go in and smooth out those lines and then I cross just above the parietal crest and pull some of the hair down. hair that's probably going to fall to the side, let's say what I wanted to do is just smooth it out, so I comb it down and I bring the scissors halfway and I just take out some teeth or gaps that I just create air in that way and then I go in with Paul Mitchell invisible where and I spray it is a textured hairspray so I create a ton of texture, it has a light I would say a medium hold and then I go in with my flat iron it's a Paul Mitchell Pro Tools straightening iron.

I go in and just lift up some of those textured pieces to really show the shape. Notice that the shape actually follows your jawline and expands towards your back, which really gives it a nice, flattering shape. to the shape of his head, so I hope you liked the video.
