Simple Long Hair Haircut Tutorial with Face Framing

Hi Friends Andrew Carruthers, Director of Education at Sambia here, one of the most searched

hair

cuts on the internet is simply a

simple

long

layer, so we thought we'd give you a

tutorial

on a really

simple

basic shape that gives you beautiful layers. Airy too. many tips on how to adapt this shape for any client and for any

hair

density, so first we will enter the section, let's go later before entering the section, one thing we always want to do is Prepare the hair with a product that we love , the Red Can One United, mainly because it gives hair good slip and is great for sectioning, but it doesn't leave hair greasy at all, especially for those of you who may have fine hair.

I have fine hair, this is great, even that won't make it heavy, so we're going to lose it. The next step is to make the section, we are going to enter a section that we call fundamental breakdown, it is so that we can obtain the section from the head to the different areas that make the biggest difference, the sides back, up, those will be the most transitions. important things that we will have to deal with, so the first thing we will do is simply section right at the vertical transition, this is the area of ​​the head that goes from being more vertical up to more top of the head and we will continue back and around as we follow the crown and the crown has a slight drop down, so we'll follow that drop as we go.

We go around and then we'll balance it on the opposite side. Now on the mannequin head, this will be perfectly balanced side to side because it comes out of a factory, but the guests sitting in your living room won't, so don't do it. It drives you crazy when you try this and one side looks slightly lower than the other. It's most important that you keep it balanced with the natural shape of your head, so be very careful when separating it. If you need to check it, you can calm down and place it. a vertical position and just slide your finger right behind the cone right where it pinches between the comb on the head which will be where that vertical transition stops and then everything up here we're going to work with a little bit different and I'm going to talk about the variations based on the density of the hair, so we're just going to twist it into a little nut and attach one of our clips to dry sectioning.

I know the hair is wet, but the dry sectioning clips really hold the hair. very good and that's balanced enough for me. I'm not going to go crazy. The next section we're going to take is finding where the hairline changes just behind the ear and this is going to be really essential for the lunging part of the

face

and One of the things we don't want to do is we don't want to keep cutting the hair over and over again, so if I include this strand that will frame the

face

more in the rest of the cut, We'll cut it twice, that's just ineffective, so we find right where the hairline changes and falls now.

If your guests would like less face

framing

, you could easily move this section forward to dedicate more hair to the layering pattern and less. the hair on the face frame layers and then we're just going to clip those two pieces forward, which tells us to leave them alone, now we're going to step towards the center of the back, if in the center of the back we're going to take a vertical of one inch. section, so just a straight section up and down and about an inch wide, we're going to keep this a little loose, we're not going to go crazy, precise, hard lines with this, so don't get too hung up on the size exact section. the main thing you want is something that you can be consistent with so we'll take that one inch section now from there we want to decide what elevation and toe angle we want to create for the layering pattern what hair density will really depend on because what happens is that when we take the lift and then we choose the angle of our finger, this determines how much weight is taken off the top and how much is left on the bottom, if my lift is lower, I'm going to take more weight. and density outside the perimeter and I will leave more weight and density towards the top of the shape the higher my elevation, the more weight and density I will leave on the perimeter and then the more weight and density I will remove from the top, so you have to decide based of the density of your clients.

We're going to go right in the middle because our Lydia mannequin head here has medium density hair, so we're going to raise it to 45 degrees above horizontal so there's horizontal. We're going to go 45 degrees above that, which is going to give us a really nice balance between full layers of the hair but allowing there to still be density at the edge of the perimeter. We'll use the six and three-quarter inch cut aerodynamic series. It's just one of my favorite scissors right now, which is why I choose it, but we want to have a scissor that's

long

enough that as you cut the tip, you can get into the hair to create something. texture, so there is a 45 degree elevation above the horizontal.

You'll see that the angle of my finger is quite perpendicular to the hair grain. If you wanted to remove a little more length at the top and leave a little more towards the bottom, you could change the angle of the finger slightly, but we are going to go perpendicular at this point, there is necessarily an excessive direction on both sides of the section , you are reaching the center of the section. Now I'm going to move this out of position. just so you can see the tip cut better, so we're going to work with a not super aggressive tip cut, we want this to say stay very, very smooth, very invisible, we want these layers to be very, very loose and not we want I see hard lines inside the shape, so taking that very soft tip cut will give us a shape that is very, very loose.

One thing you'll probably notice is that we didn't put up a perimeter but we didn't go down. here and cut into a long length and the reason for this is that efficiency will teach us that if we just work with the hair up here first, then we can come back down here to create the perimeter and we're not going to cut. that hair twice again less frequently we touch that same strand of hair that are efficient we are going to be if you want these layers to lengthen as you go you can offer direct back we will keep it balanced with the head shape, so we will continue with a direction natural, meaning both sides of that section are going to head towards the center, we're going to go to that 45 degrees above the horizontal elevation, we're going to find our guide and then again we're just going to gently aim cutting towards that guide, so what's really key here it's consistency, so the section size will be consistent, the elevation will be consistent over the direction, it will be consistent and we're choosing all of those things with intention and purpose so that we're building the shape we want instead of having to.

Try to readjust it later so this is a fairly simple way. We'll just continue without 45 degrees above horizontal elevation. Find our pre-cut section as our guide and then use that six and three-quarter inch streamline series shear to gently remove. length, so I'm going to continue working down the right side and then switch to the left side, exactly the same process as we get to this last section. One thing we have to be very careful about is that the shape of the head is changing right here, it's starting. to move towards us because we have passed the horizontal transition, the horizontal transition is right here if your reading can train, you know this is the back corner, but this is a really important change of direction because a lot of times what happens is we continue our body at the back of the head and as the head moves away from us we create a lot of our direction so be careful with that transition and when you take that last section you will probably be right in front of that transition. so move your body so the instructions stay consistent.

This is where we tend to have a lot of trouble creating weight just behind the ear, so be aware of that little transition in the direction of the head shape and you'll be able to notice that now I'm here on your left side and I haven't changed the position of my body. I haven't started to take a step this way and pull my hair out and it's for two number one reasons why we are. not to over steer forward or backward to create length forward or backward, but especially when we start and get into these body positions where our fingers are diagonal, we find that if we change the body position from side to side it becomes inconsistent , so we have I found that it's best for us to stay in a similar body position on both sides and that keeps this line very, very consistent, so now let's go to the top, we'll drop this top area down and what will we do? .

Here we are going to divide again what we are going to keep for the part of the layers that frames the face. One thing we'll probably notice is that this line, if we take it up, up, up, we're going to be behind that pinnacle or the peak or the high point of the head and most of the hair that's behind that that high point, that hair is not going to fall more to the side or more to the front, which we don't want to include in our face

framing

, so we're going to take the section from where it ends on the side, we'll find the point top of the head and section up there so you end up with a slightly diagonal back. section then just blend it on the other side so what we're separating now is the difference between the hair that will live more on the sides in front of the head and the one that will live more in the crown area so you can Look, now we have plus a section from the crown, we'll take the hair that's left in the front, just part it in the center for now, it doesn't matter where it's parted for the moment, incorporate it to the sides and then isolate it with a clip.

Let's get into the crown section here because the crown is a very round surface. We're going to work in pie-shaped sections because these pie-shaped sections, as they radiate downward, will become a vertical section if we take the section as a true vertical. section what ends up happening is that you almost end up diagonal in the head shape, so this pie shaped section keeps us more vertical. The most important thing is that the center point of the cake shape always comes back to the center to the high point and we're going to want to find ourselves and about the same section width at the bottom of this section, so just thinking about the size of the section that you have in those previously cut sections, take some water here, we just want to keep it.

This is not something that we have to keep the hair soaked so just enough water in the hair to control it, we added the excuse, we added One United as cutting lotion, so as long as we keep the hair wet, we should have. really great control over the hair again here you have to make decisions because if we want shorter layers then we want to continue to maintain a higher lift and we could even change the lift here as we transfer to the top of the head and if I wanted a lot fullness, a lot of body on the top of the head, maybe I would go there, but we want to keep these layers a little bit on one side that feels longer, so we're going to keep the rise constant from the bottom, which was 45 degrees.

Above horizontal, what that does is it stops me from getting shorter as I go to the top, in fact it will start to get a little bit longer and for you super idiots, yes, as we get to the top top of the head, it will almost lengthen. create a little bit of gradation towards the top of the head and that will leave us with that longer feeling overall for the layers again, take a small piece of that previously cut section and continue to shape it in a circular motion along the head again, no We're going to head too far back. here we are going to take both sides of the sections so that they meet in the center of the section and rise upwards.

There's my guide from the bottom and there's my guide right behind it, so the best thing is that now you have two guides to think carefully and aim smoothly. to the previously cut section again, consistency is really the name of the game here we just want to be cautious with our elevation or our direction and the clean section is really important for this because if we start to lose the cleanliness of our section, especially with these sections in a pie shape We tend to start kicking to one side of the other and will create some asymmetry in the

haircut

, so if you find that in your

haircut

s one side tends to be longer than the other two, things to the view would be your section while you are sectioning traveling in a strange way around the head shape, the other thing you should check is what your / direction is, the /direction remains constant and/the direction actually comes from our feet rather than our hands, because wherever it is. our feet are that's where the hair will want to go so be aware that your body has to move so that your direction stays constant so I'm going to continue and you can start to see how this really beautiful layered shape starts to come together very soft, really airy, you want layers, so we'll continue one more section here on the right side and then replicate that on the left side now that all of our layers are finished on the back and when we started working on the sides.

Now we want to start here and go into the perimeter and the reason is that the face frame is going to have to be detailed very carefully all the way to the perimeter, so we need that perimeter line. We gained some efficiency by not cutting that perimeter. from the beginning with the layers, but now it's very important that we have that perimeter length set so that we can base the layers that frame our face off of the perimeter length. Let's give it a touch of humidity again with that continuous mist bottle. I'm using our short cut comb, our Signature Series short cut comb in white because she has a little bit darker hair, she has a medium hair tone, so we could really get away with any color.

Short combs are one of my personal favorites because I like the super wide teeth on one side and then the finer teeth. conversely, sometimes with longer hair, and I know Sam prefers the long cut comb, which is also a great option, so let's go to the perimeter. The most important thing when cutting the perimeter of any haircut is that you are looking. As close to the natural fall as possible, so take your time and make sure it is styled in its natural fall position. We're going to layer around the front so I don't worry too much about the natural part at this point, but if you were cutting something more like a bob, then I would be very careful to make sure I was also working in the natural fall position. .

We will follow the natural shape of the head very carefully paying attention again to the flatter curve in the back. of the head and right here you can see it's the horizontal transition, so horizontally, that's where it goes more from being a gentler slope at the back of the head and then turning into a sharp corner and becoming a gentle curvature through on this side of the head. so pay attention to that change in direction because we're going to work with the texture again, it's okay to put a little tension on the hair with your fingers, but be gentle with it so as not to disturb it too much. natural hair loss and then we're going to look at where we start to regain some of our density around the perimeter now if she had sat in the chair earlier and said hey, you know, I really don't want to If I lost too much length of my hair, so, of course, we would have been very cautious with that first length in the cables to make sure we preserved all the length on the perimeter and didn't take away too much density. keep our length very horizontal, very parallel to the floor, so we'll keep our fingers very parallel to the floor and again that really smooth soft toe cut with the six and three quarter inch aerodynamic series shear, as you can see, we've reached to that point where the transition happens so rotate it if you were me in the room of course we would be walking around the head instead of rotating it or you know you can rotate your chair which is great the key is just to make sure that you're moving and just follow that perimeter around the head, so I'll fill in this side and then I'll step over to his right side and fill in that side.

Once the perimeter is finished, we will now be. I'll re-read Anthon if she dried up a bit there. I live here in southern Oregon where it is incredibly dry, which is why the Icahn heads dry out so quickly. I swear I use a bottle of this water every time I get a haircut here. Alright, now let's get into the face framing, we'll go back to our section, which was kind of a diagonal from that high point to where it starts to meet the hairline here and then behind the ear and we're just going to isolate. side to side and don't worry if this stuff doesn't mix perfectly, which I know a lot of you get very upset if it doesn't, we'll show you how to mix everything back together and take it out.

Now, if you haven't seen it, we have a

tutorial

on how to frame faces. It's actually one of our most popular YouTube videos that we've created and we'll put a link to that one in the description because it has a very similar concept. We're going to do things slightly different with this one because we're going to let them sit a little longer, not as face-framing heavy as in that specific tutorial, but we still have a full face-only playlist. framing tutorials for you guys, we're going to start from the top because the top really is our shortest point and for a lot of our guests that's the most important thing, that's what they're most concerned about because they'll say, well, we.

They want the shortest point of the layers to fall at a certain point on the face or they may be very cautious with the length of their head, so they'll say oh please don't cut anything shorter than this, so many Sometimes it's smart. so you can go ahead and start at the shortest point of the haircut so you know you're protecting their needs and also protecting yourself from getting angry, so in another tutorial we direct everything very simply to the front of the face, which gives us a very, very sharp drop in length, from short to long, from front to back, this time we are going to oversteer a little differently, it won't go all the way, but if you look from one view laterally, that's how the hair will fall, so if we head too far forward, that will naturally give us a short to long movement, so anything we lift will give us the kind of weight balance that we had. something similar to the back, so we're going to direct Fort Worden quite gently, then the angle of our fingers again can make a big difference here because if I take the angle of the fingers and we just stick our fingertips out in that direction , you can Look, we're going to create a lot of shorts, they're long and they're going to fall dramatically into those white spaces.

If we keep our fingers perpendicular to the hair grain, then it will be a more gradual fall towards the lengths. what we want is first because if we go too steep then we start connecting with the perimeter, we're not going to take the face frame very far back, so I'm going to redirect it forward. You will see that the angle of the finger is perpendicular to the hair grains, so what will be really important is the shortest point that we cut here, in fact, for your safety and that of your guests, what you can do is take a very small here and you can cover it up to the face so it's very, very light with This is because you want to allow for that natural bounce that will occur as it dries and the fact that it will curve up to here.

Don't lower it down and then cut it. It's going to be too short, so place it around your face. Keep it. very gentle and let's say she wants it to be maybe right around the lip line because that's a really beautiful place to put that first piece. What we want to do with lengths is point out things or we want to draw attention away from something, so you have great lips or great cheekbones or a great jawline, you can place things in that area to really draw attention to that, so we have a little guide there now that's going to make sure that we're protected, there's that guide.

Right there, I actually changed my mind. I think we're going to take a little more diagonal angle for the fingers. I think if I stayed perpendicular, I would actually keep the face frame too short and too far back, so let's just stretch out. the fingertips out a little bit extending that length forward and the reason we keep this at a little bit lower elevation and a little less direction than the previous one is to keep a little more weight on these ends of the previous way we showed you how. Doing so would take more weight off the whole thing and will again create a shorter cut in the center and then a very rapid drop in that length if we point it too far forward, this will give us a really nice gradual build up of length and weight as it falls towards back, so now we'll take out the bottom section and incorporate the two.

We're going to use the exact same direction we did for the top, just that slight forward direction. Now what we have is a start and end point, the nice thing about this is that now it's just a set of connect the dots, so here's the start point and then we know we want to connect to the perimeter right there at the back from the ear and that's the end. point right there so it tells me exactly what the angle of my finger should be, start finishing and then again just a soft point, I feel like it was very Bob Ross of me to say just a fluffy tip gun so they can See that. build a really nice gradual build up of length and weight towards that perimeter and again, don't worry too much about this matching this now first, it doesn't matter as much as you think, number two I'll show you a little way. to adjust that after we finish the left side, so we're going to go through the same process here on the left side.

I'm actually going to stand in front of it and work in front of it, it's just going to be a little bit more natural than standing behind this side and trying to create this kind of angle with my fingers and I have to change my body position a little bit. just because we were on that diagonal on this side, so I'm going to step to this side and stand in front of her, but the process is identical. Now that we're done with the front, we want to see if we have a mix between the back and the front.

And I can tell you right now that yes, there will definitely be a little bit of a disconnect because we've changed the elevations, we've changed the directions and the lengths just aren't going to match, but again we would like to promote that you don't get too upset about this because we chose what we did. here with a purpose, we chose what we did here with a purpose now, as you take this away, especially maybe you say, okay, I can see the line between the two, so this is how you work with that, it's really about just create a visual connection.

It doesn't necessarily have to become something where you're putting things together, so what we suggest is that you take sections between the two points and you'll see that there's that little bit of detachment, well actually a significant detachment and really all you need. What you have to do is just create some connection points there, you don't want things to match because again you chose everything you chose for a very specific reason here and if you go ahead and suddenly start directing this again Go back and combine everything, what you're going to end up with is something that changes the purpose of your shape, so I'm just going to go through the horizontal sections between the two.

You can see there's my detachment again, we don't want to destroy that. So we can even come in from behind and do a little bit of a slide cut between the two. There wasn't much shedding in the sections above. There is a slightly older detachment between these lower sections. Be careful when reaching weakness. On the top of the ear again you can see there is a shear job from behind with the shear and just gently one between the two, so we'll do that on the opposite side and then we'll blow dry, especially with these haircuts In really beautiful, soft, long layers, excellent blow drying is incredibly important.

Let's start with the application of the product, of course, our favorite volumizer, Red King, guts 10, the way it distributes into the hair is amazing because where you really want the focus of the product application is right on the scalp when you're working with hold products, you can also apply a little to the mid-lengths and ends, but if you want body to the hair, the main place you want to focus the product is right at the base, so having something that sprays like a foam but goes exactly where you want it instead of having to put it on your hand or a brush or something, it's such an amazing product and the good thing is that it has amazing hold without feeling sticky on the hair, which I don't know about you, nobody likes sticky hair, so we're going to brush it just to distribute the product that we're not going to use.

Let's go into a lot of detail about blow drying just because we want this particular tutorial to focus on the haircut, not so much the drying bowl, but we have tons and tons of blow drying content for you guys, already we are. We'll work with a dry wrap first, so you see, we'll work the hair into the shape of the head first just to start pulling outsome moisture from the hair and we'll work it back and forth, what that does. Create a more natural feel with the motion of the blow dryer, then we'll switch to our Artist Series Thermal Spiral Brush.

This has become a big favorite of our entire art team. We're using it because we're going to do some polishing. in the hair, but we also want to give it some shape, so the thermal core will help create the heat that we need to get a wavy texture in the hair, but the perforated bristles will pull on that cuticle super super gently. We'll also be using our new special edition lightweight ionic dryer in rose gold. This thing is so pretty that it will be released around the same time as this video, so you will have access to it from the beginning.

Watching this video right as it's posted, we're going to take the mouthpiece and place it on a slight diagonal, which helps us not have to lift our elbow so the mouthpiece is parallel to the head, like I said. First we're going to wrap and blow dry forward, then we'll switch and work backwards just to get a natural movement, then we'll switch to the round brush, cold blow dry, finish, now it's time to get into our detailing phase that we want to focus on really. in the frame of the face because it is a very strong feature of this, this is what she is really going to payAttention to this haircut, the main thing that probably needs to be adjusted at this time will be the weight distribution, potentially a little bit of the perimeter Because we cut everything at elevation, there may be a couple of small irregularities that are simply based on the natural shape of the hairline, so let's check both.

Let's look at the density first, most of the time you will find that you will have a little more density up here and then it will be weaker. here and that's typical: a little bit more density in this area and then around this lower hairline it tends to get a little bit thinner and a little bit more sparse. We want to balance that density a little, so first we'll get to the At the top we'll use the Signature Series invisible sheer. The important thing about this sheer is that it will be incredibly soft and won't remove a ton of hair with each cut.

Also, since the bottom is not actually a sharp blade, it is polished. The surface will allow us to slide through the hair pretty easily after we close this year, so maybe we'll only go in about halfway through the middle strand and then we'll slide through and you'll notice there's not a ton of hair. is going to come out, we're going to slide a little bit more in and then we're going to slide a little bit more out and out and a little bit further in, a little bit further, what we're doing as we start in the In the middle of the random exercise it's about mimicking what hair does naturally, hair will always be as dense as at the base and then lighter and at the ends due to a natural shedding process, so if you camp for a long time in one place, let's say we sit here on the middle strand and we hit it two or three times what you do is you create a kind of unnatural feeling in the hair because you keep the density here and then there is a kind of demarcation line almost where the hair starts to turn each time thinner.

By gradually working up to those extremes, that allows you to maintain that very natural feeling of density, a little bit goes a long way, so we'll do a little bit and then we'll reintroduce it into the rest of the way that actually feels super good, so let's leave that alone and a lot of times it could just be this front hairline, you may not need to make many adjustments. Do that on the opposite side, we make sure the teeth are facing down on one of the The theory with the blending scissors is that any direction the teeth are facing the hair will be influenced and moved in that direction, we want those tips fall down and back, so we must be careful to make sure the teeth are facing that direction that they feel.

Okay also, so let's leave that like that now, let's comb this front and see how that perimeter is falling, there's a little spot right there where the hairs feel a little unbalanced and we can even use the invisible one. there just to gently remove a little bit of length from that piece because, again, it's not a complete and total shape change, it's just readjusting the mint color, really after you get the face framing feeling how you want it Now of course it's time to readjust anything during the rest of the haircut and it could be exactly the same looking at the shape density of the mannequin heads.

These Linea mannequin heads have a little bit more density right here at the crown and you can even go to see in a video these top layers tend to have a little bit of a heavy feel to them, especially because remember when we go over the crown we don't increase the lift and we kept the elevation at that 45 degrees above the horizontal, so what that does is it builds up a little bit. long towards the top layer in theory, it is actually a graduation because it is called short to the top of the head, but whatever the small details, what you need to know is that if it is shortened too much from the bottom to the top, it will is going to build a little bit of weight, so we can do the same thing here, just very gently remove some of that weight and density in the mids and ends.

Be careful when removing weight because a lot of times what we find is that people just want to go. to the tips and adjust the weight at the tips, that's not really where the weight and density live. Weight and density live more in the middle of the hair strand, so we have to get to where the weight and density really live, and that's starting. to feel nice, light and soft and that is exactly what we are looking for. Now also remember that this back area is not perfectly connected or blended with the front and I just want you to realize that in the end, that's not a parent.

The way is to show you that everything doesn't always have to be perfectly combined, you can select things where you want them to be. We wanted a little more layer on that back for good reason because there is a lot more hair back. here, but we wanted to keep some density to create a really full and solid facial frame, so sometimes you have to unbalance the shape to achieve digital balance. It makes sense, the last step of course is to add just a little bit of finishing product, let's keep this. a super super simple one, we'll just use some redken 0/2 flash glitter.

This is one of our favorites for very light, soft hair because you can get some shine and some slip and there's enough touch to it. It helps separate the layers and give it some texture without feeling greasy or greasy, so I just do it. We will spray lightly throughout the entire shape, focusing the product more on the ends of the hair, often the products that give shine and texture. I want to keep more on the ends less towards the scalp and then just give it a little final fluff. This is the part at the end of the service where you say, "Oh, look how beautiful you look, who's your neighbor, you should recommend her to me." I need you back here in six weeks to start your next appointment and finish the service until I'm hard on video because I don't have a mirror, so excuse me for a second and make sure it looks perfect for you.

I like that. There's also one thing we didn't talk about and I promised I would, so I'm going to step back a little. I'm sure many of you are asking, well, they cut this out of the middle, what if they don't? It does not have a central part. This is a huge, huge question, with tons of answers. I'll give you my personal opinion mainly because that's all I can give you. You'll get a different opinion on this from everyone for the time being. For the most part, I would say that I cut most of my clients from a center part and the reason is that I didn't find that most of my clients always used the exact same part, so if I cut this asymmetrically if I part it from above. aside and leave this much longer and this shorter so they fall at exactly the same point according to that part, if she decides she wants to do this one day, now it's completely unbalanced again, so what my clients and I do What we found is that, for the most part, it worked very well: just keep things off center, especially on these more mobile haircuts.

Now, if your guest has a very heavy side part that she always parts, you may want to look into how to do this. you unbalance the layers in a way so that they fall at the same point, but honestly, that's a completely different video, not like that, so let's review this real quick. The first thing you want to break down in the fundamental breakdown is to find your vertical transition by purchasing the comb. on the side of the head, we're going to part it around the crown, make sure to follow the natural shape of the crown there, then we're going to part right where the hairline starts to weaken again as it goes up and over the top. of the ear we are going to separate right at that point, everything that is at the top will remain immobilized up and up for now, at the back we are going to take a vertical section if you remove one more density from the perimeter that you are going to keep that lift lower if you want to leave more densities on the perimeter but take more weight from the top it will increase the lift we want right in the middle with those 45 degrees above the horizontal for our shape no/forward or backward direction that we call That Natural Direction / that's where you take the outside of the section and bring it to the center so it follows the natural shape of the head.

Once we've reached that line, we're going to leave everything in front alone while we get to the top, we're going to find the high point of the head and we're going to connect to the section from the bottom and we're going to shape it circularly through the crown, but we basically mimicked exactly what we did at the bottom of the haircut once and for all. That's done, we're going to apply a laser line to our perimeter, well, not a laser line or a texture to the perimeter, then we're going to bring in the face frame, we're going to keep this elevation lower, just that nice slight diagonal towards forward or / directed. forward movement to create the shape that falls back and away from the face, we are going to adjust the angle of the finger depending on how quickly we want to fall from the shortest point of the layers framing the face towards the perimeter and then when we reach On the side we will have a small piece of the perimeter right there at the bottom edge and we will have the first piece that we cut as our guides and you just connect the two and then give it a good blow dry and readjust your shape a little. mix it up a little if you feel you need it and that's how you get these beautiful long layers.

If you have more questions about the shape or anything else, please leave us a comment. We would love to hear from you. Thanks so much for looking. I'm Andrew Carruthers, director of education at Sandia.
