How to Cut a V Shape Into Long Hair

Hello my friends Sam, listen, this season you are seeing a lot of girls walking in your salons and they are asking for that angle that works their way back, welcome back Farah faucet, so Har tends to move backwards and away from the Face , I also want you to think about it, those young girls that come to the salons are asking for a V in the back, so we really want to go through and get that V in the back and make it really simple, don't fear, Sam is here. I share this with you today as a good tip: the ingredients you will need or the tools and products we will need to achieve this.

I'm going to work with a

long

er length white cutting comb because I'm going to take

long

sections and a white one because I'm working on dark

hair

. I also chose to work with the 7 inch blade because the longer sections have a longer blade length. Get there and just cut it. Go to work. with my Clips section because we're going to keep control by splitting my products of choice satin and Diamond Oil that's right Diamond Oil by redkin satw 02 so I get a little bit of stickiness with the lotion that's going to be applied to my first with my hand and then I did Diamond Oil Diamond Oil is going to give me a little more slip, mix the two together which I did and you have your cutting lotion now let's get ready to start remember the goal is to get a nice smooth angle around of the V-

shape

d face frame area at the back, so let's start with a middle part, regardless of whether they go towards the left or right.

I want it to start in the center. Next, let's create our guide. Set the length so We're just going to take a small diagonal section forward right at the top at the beginning of the right front and then we're going to do the exact same thing on the left side. You will do this to create the guide. For both sides, slightly diagonally forward, taking the same amount of

hair

, bring these two sections together and join them as one. What we're going to do is go down and decide how much time a client needs or where a client wants.

The angle to start in this particular case, we're going to go right on the lip area or right above the lip area, right on the nose. I want you to come in and I want you to make a dent in this and the reason we're going. Notching this is to keep a softer edge right there, if we cut it too blunt it's going to be too heavy and remember we want this to swing back once we've established that guide for both sides we're now ready to grade the hair , so what I want you to do is think from the inside out immediately start layering the hair, don't go in and cut that perimeter angle first let the graduation create the angle for you, see what I'm going to do.

I removed the clip and the section from the back, so I actually took the front to the back and separated it and we did it on both sides. Okay, now the first section we're going to take is a forward diagonal. section so we bring our diagonal section forward to the corner of the eye, now we're going to take our comb and our comb is going to attach exactly to that section, so from here we're going to comb and square right up to that crease. hair over my index finger and looking for my guide there's my guide now this angle that I'm about to cut that angle actually matches the same section the angle of that section so the two are parallel to each other look at the white comb and you can see how they match, that will allow you to create consistency, so I don't want you to just pick it up and chop it up.

Think about creating consistency for both sides. One of the hardest things is getting them to match up when you're cutting an angle that runs short to long around the face frame area from here my elevation is diagonal so I'm elevating up, okay, right from where it's taking the square of that section, the elevation going up the angle of my finger is parallel to the section and I'm right on the inside of the nose, so now the next even section is parallel to that, so we keep our section parallel to that one now you'll see how that section is going to be parallel and all I'm doing is working down the right front side area working down parallel okay so we go to a square inside the nose up to the angled crease and we cut it.

I don't want you to comb this too much, when you tend to comb it too much, you will tend to direct the section too much. when you direct the section too much of the previous section, you start to lose the flow, now check that the long blade goes in there and just close by keeping the sections parallel, each section is parallel and will give you a profile view of this now coming. my section look how the comb stays square so I comb the hair Square up see what I mean if the comb goes vertical like this look what you're going to do, you're going to comb now look how I flatten that degree of lift If I stay square there, you can see that the grain of the hair is raised, likewise, the angle that I'm cutting is parallel to that section, so we raise it and bend it over your index finger and the reason why I want you to do it. bend your index finger so you can see your guide instead of trying to see through the section to see the guide go through and close now let's take the rest of the hair up now look at this this is where inconsistency of inconsistencies can occur.

I want you to keep your comb vertical there look at the vertical line look at a horizontal line now I want you to go halfway there is your diagonal line now notice how the entire hair fiber is combed on that diagonal so now it's about being consistent, little tip when you comb immediately place your holding hand immediately under the comb and just allow the comb to leave the angle of your finger in that position and now just go in and close and you're ready to go and remember my excessive direction, look where my hand in my hand.

It's right inside our nose. Okay, keep that consistency on the opposite side, so what I want you to do is have your mindset be at that degree of elevation, the angle of that finger and that point of overdirection immediately come to the opposite side so that you can create coherence in other words, if I cut this and then move back now my thinking is moving to something different I want you to keep your thinking the same everything comes back Square the section square point up there's my guide fold about that and right now angle now don't get caught up in the fact that on the right side I cut it from the bottom up and now on the left side I'm cutting it from the top down what I want you to worry about is keeping this consistent in terms of placing your comb and combing these angles if people say well, Sam, if there was something that creates a lot of errors when cutting, what would it be, my friends, do you really want to know what it is?

It's not your scissors. it's not your hands it's not your way of thinking it's this tool we call a comb it's the comb that gets us in trouble this comb this tool gets us in trouble why because it's the way we comb our hair if we're not consistent in terms of think that each position you comb could be a different position now you are creating inconsistency on one side compared to the opposite side keeping it all the way continuing diagonally forward remembering that each section is parallel to the previous section keeping the square look how Now I will comb with my hand, I will tilt and follow, bend and cut when you cut.

I want you to think about developing rhythm. Get rhythm when you cut. My friends in the old days. I always used to comb everything and that's because things were much more precise then. What we want you to do is relax your thinking and think a little more freely NOW. Look what happens, let me give you a profile view of this when you post this look. What we have created automatically. I created a diagonal line that goes from short to long and we did that on both sides, so this is what we didn't do, which is what I used to do in the old days: I would go in and take a diagonal.

Comb angle back Forward cut line and then layer. You can see that this can save quite a bit of time. Now let's go back when we go back. Now we are going to repeat the same procedure. to change our reference point, so Watch what happens, post your clips, remember we can split up to control I want you to take a vertical section right down, Center back, okay, I just want you to isolate a section out of the way, get this section out of the way and now take your clip and legs up, capture the hair once we're there let's talk about what we just did in the front, look at the section we took in the front, we go down diagonally from this way now I want you to imagine this section going back, so watch how you move your comb back, now you can start to see the section that I'm going to take in the back, the section is going back, so when you come in back will start to get bigger. horizontal but the reference point I'm going to take it to is the ear, not the inside of the nose, look at my first section, let's go to this left side, okay, so I'm going to come 3/4 to give you a view of that. go back and view your sections first, now look at the section here, so now I'm in the crown area diagonally forward.

I'm not going to exaggerate, I direct this to the nose. I'm just going to lift up from where it is right there. Here comes my guide and this is where this whole later section will go. This can give me that V in the posterior area. Okay, now here we go to the same section, look how it is parallel. Good, now it appears. and the reference point once again is the ear, so let me give you a square view of that look, how my hand when it goes up, my hand is over his ear, so I'm not going to go past that ear so you can see the point. of the reference changes that appear, there is my guide, now all you have to do is follow that same guide, isn't it interesting to see the angle that I am cutting now?

That angle that we have is exactly the same angle that you see in your section, so This is what we're trying to do is give you some good advice in terms of using your section to follow these angles so that you can create the consistency that you want to create. Let's continue back, look at the section, just stay parallel to the previous section. My friends, don't make this difficult. What I love about this is that they don't need to be separated from the horseshoe, so that would be great, something nice and quick and easy to do for one of these girls to come in and say, "I want my hair." pen back I want it away from my face and I'm looking for a v NOW Look at what's all going on here with the corn above the ear Sam, how do I know when I'm in the ear?

Use the spine of the ear. comb when the back of the comb is at your ear from here just comb up and you'll be in the cutting position you need to be in, that's a great little tip to set your reference point otherwise you'll overshoot it, now look the back when you release it. this back part notice the angle this created so it goes from short to long now I'm getting the length point in the center so I didn't go through take a vertical section take a section do this on both sides and carve that vs

shape

in I'm using my sense of graduation to create it, my friends, this will save you a lot of time in the classroom and I really feel that we should keep things simple, especially in today's world, let's go to the back right once. again visualize your forward diagonal section forward diagonal forward diagonal forward diagonal move it back which gives you that section right at the back now I'm going with the same forward diagonal which hooks towards the front as if you were cutting that area front my point The reference is the ear.

Remember that this is your reference point. Now we pass. We comb my hair making sure my hand is over my ear. Look at the angle. Let the white comb take you to that angle. There's that angle right there, which is exactly where we need it. to go through and cut I'll give you a 3/4 view of this so you can see the forward angle when we graduate I want you to work with the fine teeth of the comb I know a Many people love a comb where all the teeth are the same wide and are a little wider throughout.

It's a great comb to use on naturally curly hair when you're going through the process and when you're graduating. For hair, we recommend that you work with the fine teeth of the comb. The reason you want to work with the fine teeth of the comb is because it compresses things more. When you get a little bit more compression, you get a little bit more of a softer edge and that's the object in this, okay, anything that doesn't reach my friends, don't cut it, remember that the reference point that we're taking In the upper direction it is above the ear, look at my degree of elevation, how I am. raising that hair now look what happens when we're done you're going to come through and I want you to just comb it down and now you start to see an outline and you have agraduation inside where the contour has that angle. in the front and then it takes you to this V in the back now, once I'm here, this is where I would adjust this length and you just go through and take off what you want to take off, my friends, this is a great way and simple to jump in and create a v you'll love doing it, keep it simple and remember that's what it's all about, giving you things and ideas that you can use Behind the chair, have a great day and try this.

I'm going to love it
