No More Dog Ears When Cutting a Bob Haircut | Pro Tutorial

Today we're going to go over

cutting

a bob, we're probably going to alter this into a box bob today we're going to section the head, so I'm going to go straight down the center, obviously, uh, separate this out wherever your guest is. part your hair don't just take it down the center and have a side part go straight down the center to the crown comb that on top we're going to part the front and back and I'm going to comb that hair in the direction that I want to part it and then I'm going to go from that high point to the hairline right here behind the ear, now I'm going to go straight to the center back and then once we have that split in two, I'm going to give myself about an inch, no I don't want to take too much. hair for your first section, but it's also not necessary, as some people take like a quarter of an inch and start there.

I don't really think it's necessary because the lift will occur within and I will explain that in a second for a balanced bob I like to work both sides at the same time so I'll go from one side and then the other side just to make sure I continue with that way of balance that I'm I'm going to base everything on this guide here, so this line that I have, that's what I'm going to base all the hair cut here on, my eyes are level, bring the scissors and start my cut. The little upside down eyes are still level

when

we are.

We're working with the shape of the head, the shape of the head here is curved, so 90 degrees from this point is here, so everything on top is layers and I don't really want to layer on the bottom, so That's why I cut all this hair this way. inch and a half I cut it straight across the base and that will give me almost my 45 degree angle in a way because 90 would be here 45 is half of that 0 is under that right so I'm

cutting

it there but the angle on the that I'm holding it from the head still has a nice graduated feel to it as I go up the shape of the head, I'm going to lighten my sections so I won't go an inch and a half.

It will go about a quarter of an inch, you should be able to see through that section. See how I can see below. You should be able to see through it. Now I'll do the same on the other side. Now I'm going to drink. a small pre cut section i just heard a loud bang and i'm the only one here and it's creepy because we're in the woods so if someone comes here and kidnaps me let me know or let someone know. Don't let me know, I will know, so below is my guide. I'm going to bring that to me now.

I want to cut this as a form of balance, so I need to make sure and I want it to be that way. nice and light, so I'm going to comb it in the air and then that's where I'm going to cut it, so check your lift here and then I'm going to work my way through, you're going to start to move forward a little bit. progression in our A line field because of the overdirection coming back to me and I like to cut horizontally because it really focuses on the part of the shape, the horizontal shape, but the challenge is that you have to stay consistent in that vertical, which hardly you have something in your hand, the guide is right there, so if that's my guide, that's where I'm going to cut it, it's there now as I start working with this elevation, I could even go in and just aim the cut. this line is not as forceful because a point cut line is much softer, so this shape here is quite strong horizontally now because we're going to push a little bit of weight forward.

I want to start from this horizontal line or the slight one. forward diagonal line to a

more

vertical line as I work towards the ear, we are going to make a pi shaped section up to that point of the hairline where we were at the beginning, think of it as taking pieces of the cake from this point onwards so boom boom boom right and now I don't need to bounce back and forth I'll do this side and then I'll do the left side one rule for cutting a bob is that your thumb always points in the direction you're going I'm going to take this at my hand.

You can see the guide. Comb it here. Bringing everything back to that point. I can see my old line in the

haircut

. Let's have this with a little

more

texture. So I'm going to cut my line, this top point is the most crucial part because you could end up with the bob and have a heavy shelf at the top of the

haircut

and I don't want it to be nice and light at all times. so it's really important for me to comb it back, give it a little more lift and eliminate this corner instead of just trying to finish this whole section by getting into this part of my hand that has less tension and now we're going to have a lot of length as well. , take another piece of the cake, I will bring it back now as before.

This part here is really important. You want to make sure you have the correct elevation. If it is not tall enough, you will get a heavy shape. haircut I don't go all the way back, I just go straight back from the head. I use the side of the head as a guide and bring everything back in a line so I want to bring everything to that point if it's too low you have to think of this as 90 so anything below this point is going to be a shelf this it's zero degrees because it comes out 90, so now I need to raise it above that 90 degree point just to make sure I win.

I don't have any weight lines in the back, what I'm going to do is comb all of this in my hand and I want a little bit of freedom and fun in the front of this haircut, so I'm going to comb all of this in my hand. I can see a little guide right there, we had a little fun with the cut point and then

when

I drop it, it's now connected, but we played with the layers that we already had and also pushed that extra weight to the front, but we have a little connection, okay, we'll do the same thing on the other side, leave that a lot of movement, now we can diffuse high heat, low airflow, okay, so there's literally only one step left to finish this lovely lady, it's Although it has a great shape, now I don't want to remove too many of these tails because that's what makes the haircut, but I don't want them to be so long.

There we will see how that changes a little. a little and I'm only halfway closing the scissors on the hair I want to cut. You could also do this on straight hair. If they used this straight one, you could also do this pinch cut, but look at the difference. A little dated. Pretty. that strong base of the horizontal cut and then that kind of free-flowing textured cut frozen around the rest, which we think
