Triangular Bob Haircut Tutorial with a Razor

Alright, we'll start by prepping the hair with Donald Scott. Prepare The good thing about this product is that it prepares the hair to be cut with a

razor

, it gives you a little control when cutting and adds a lot of shine. your final results, so we're going to miss that throughout the hair, really focus towards the ends to the middle of the shaft, where we're going to cut and then I'll start with my section, we'll do a vertical straight back. section down the middle of the back separating the left and right side and then what I'm going to do is divide the head in half, right at the split point, the highest point of the head up to directly above the ear. and we separated the front and the back, so we basically created the four quadrants that we learn.

The first thing we learn in beauty school is to separate those four quadrants. The best thing about doing that is that you really focus on each corner of the head, so the way that I'm going to divide the two front quadrants of the head is to go through and do a braid and what that's going to do for me is take the hair out of the face but it will also give me a focal point of where the hair will fall so as I cut it back I can see where the hair is in the front so we'll braid this section as well and like I said this will be It's very simple but the section is really important so if you don't do the right section and then you go in and do this cut you're not going to get the same results so these two sections in the back are the most important sections because you want to go right to the occipital bone , so we will draw a vertical line towards the center back and then cross the occipital bone to behind the ear.

Now it's very important that you focus on that occipital bone and me. I'm going to go over a couple of scenarios here as well because if they had thicker, denser hair, what I would still do is make sure to work on the occipital bone, but I would do more intense strokes with the

razor

and We'll talk about that in a second, but I'd like to keep my section the same and the reason is because we are working on the bone structure of the head, so the occipital bone is where it curves, so the elevation that I am holding this section should remain similar, but the strokes of the razor will create more or less density as we go, so you'll see a slight forward diagonal with that part directly behind the ear and I'm going to add a little bit of prep to this section as well and I'm going to check the carving comb, so that this is the carving comb tool, if you have never seen it, this one has wide teeth, it has a 50% cut side and a 100% cut side, so if you want to cut the structure in a

haircut

, you can do it and then on the opposite side of the styling comb, you're just going to reduce the volume and take the weight off, you're going to create layers.

We will use both sides of the carving. comb as we work on this

haircut

, so a couple of key points to really focus on here is to see how thick that section that I took is, it's about the width of the carving comb, this way I don't have to work towards back and forth in the section and Also, when I go in to cut, you'll see that I have a nice low lift and I go about an inch back and forth with the carving comb, which will create a nice shredded line, but if it were heavier with that, create more of a layering effect, so what I'm looking for is to use the shape of the head, so if you see how the occipital bone curves down because of the angle that I'm holding the hair and that kind of one inch path that I'm moving the comb to carve, that gives me a more graduated feel, there will be a little bit of layering towards the bottom, but we're going to go in and cut with pinches that at the end you can see the bevel that happens . and that's because of the shape of the head, so if I lowered this whole back and did it, I could, but I would have to change my lifts a little bit.

It's easier to divide the back into two sections, so that with the occipital bone down we have a nice low rise and now we're going to work the occipital bone up to the highest point of the head so that everything comes back towards me. Now you'll see my elevation change. You can see where I find my guide line from below, so just take one piece just to check it, but this is a razor cut, it has a little more freedom, it will have a lot more texture, so you can see your guide, but it doesn't have It has to be exact and you can see how The strokes of the knife will work and the elevation that I'm going to take this section to is much higher.

The reason is that you can see that when it comes out of the head, it's still running at a similar elevation as the first section. The head shape is just different and it's more curved upwards so I need to lift the hair up more otherwise I'll end up with a very heavy result and that's not what we're going for in this cut so we literally cut it completely off . side of the head in two sections very quickly and that's what I like about this technique and the styling comb is that it allows you the freedom if you're looking for a more textured look but still with structure as long as you understand the shape of the head what do you want.

You can go in and quickly do these haircuts and get a result that would take you a while with scissors to cut a precise shape and then go in and texturize it a bunch to get this exact look when you can actually do it in just a couple. sections so now we're going to comb the side and one key thing I want you to focus on here is you can cut this straight if you want you can cut it more at an angle this is really the client's preference or your preference , whatever you're working for, but to continue, I'm going to add a little bit of angle to the front.

I like that disconnect and then I go ahead and use the 50% carving on one side to add a little bit of layering and taking a little bit of the weight off the sides, if they had very dense hair you could also do it a little bit more aggressively so we cut our angle and then I go in with the 50% carbon side and just take To lose some weight now we're going to work with Paul Mitchell quickly. This is a quick draw product so it's just something if I want to add shine to the hair and dry it quickly.

I put this product on and we'll work it into the scalp. all the way to the ends and then once I have it in my hair, I'll go through it and brush it out. We will use the Ergo paddle brush through the hair just to saturate the hair every little bit with the product for the best result. now we are going to work on a flat wrap technique wrapping the hair around the head adding that shine getting flexibility in the cuticle we are going to create two different styles with this softer style and then I will show you a style with a little more volume and texture at the end so I want to have a flexible base and so that it doesn't have any calyx in the hair and we're going to go through and do a little bit of dry cutting. with the razor too, so you'll see that I'm leaving the hair very concentrated at the bottom, so when you leave the hair you're pulling extra tension at the base of the hair, which will give you more control and then I'll get more flexibility that I'm looking at the end, same thing at the back, so you'll see I'm brushing the hair up but then I come back down, you don't want to blow dry it. hair in one direction, you also want to make sure that you never blow dry your hair and leave the part there, you want to go back and forth over the part and that will give you a uniform consistency within the base, which I really want.

What you see in this part is how the shapes actually develop, so it has a precise look, it definitely has a textured feel, it's very smooth and I think that's what a lot of people like about a razor cut. : It is easy to comb. At home someone gives you a more precise cut on your hair, you know it's great to style it in the salon, but when you get home and go to style it it's a little more difficult because you don't have that precision dryer. is happening, so it's really nice to have that flexibility in the haircut, so finishing up last moment, I want you guys to also see this shine that definitely comes from Donald Scott's preparation and the quick way, all at the same time that they are getting. that kind of shiny look, but also seeing how the airflow goes over the cuticle.

I want to make sure that every time I blow dry, I blow dry downward and don't rough up the cuticle because that's when it loses its shine this is hot coming off the iron this is a heat protectant so I put it on, I blow dry it in the hair for a minute and then I'll use my flat iron to go over it so the heat comes out of the flat iron. The press is really just a protector for all this heat that we apply to the hair, so sometimes I like to use a comb during my I work with the iron and then sometimes I use a brush, in this case at the base on the middle shaft, they were really nice. and smooth, I didn't have to do much work and because the look has a textured feel, I really wanted to polish those ends but they didn't need to be completely straight and smooth so I just proceeded like my electric brush again we are working with a technique quick, this is something that's not only quick for a stylist but it's also quick for people to style at home, so I didn't want to get too fancy with the way we're straightening it to show you that this looks good pretty quick , so in the last two sections you'll notice that most of the time I'm taking diagonal sections to iron because that will give me the smoothest look if I take a horizontal section.

On the other side you might see the iron mark, so now I'm going to use my working spray, which has worked, it's a dry hair spray, which basically means it's great for creating a little bit of texture and also if you are doing something. kind of flat iron work or something, it has a lot of flexibility for that, so now I just put it on to give myself a little bit of control on my hair and now I'm going to go through again. This is a new blade on the carving comb. from start to finish to be able to make dry cuts.

So if you think about a scissor, if we're doing slide cutting techniques, it's the same thing, but a razor blade is actually sharper than a scissor blade, it's just weaker. it dulls faster, so you want to make sure that you definitely have a new blade and then you can go through and just slide the blade through there and take away some of that bulk and etch the shape a little bit more, a little bit more. I worked my way through it all, you can see I flipped the top bangs, cut it with a middle part to allow that flexibility to go back and forth and then went in with the extra body finishing spray when I finally got the look exactly where I want it and then I can snap it into place so it has our final result, this is its smooth look.

You could see all that texture built into it, it's very easy and quick to design it and now what I'm going to do. I want to go in and use a curling iron real quick just to show you what that part would look like too because this is a flexible look, it's got that texture, a little bit of straight or curved lipstick, so let's move on. I'm just using the curling iron, this is an inch and a half curling iron and I'm going over and curling everything towards the back of the face. You can see how it already gives you those textured tips because of the way we cut with the razor.

I'm going to continue with the same pattern on the top and on the other side, so it's a very quick technique but it gives you a feeling Very fun texture at the end, so I'll just run my hands through it a little bit. I'll see those curls come to life, the only thing I want to change about this style and why I'm going to use the more elaborate hairstyle because it gives me that flexibility instead of using a finishing spray and I'm just going to take my flat iron and iron some of the final pieces which will give me that texture and separation and also elongate the style for the final result, so I hope you like the style.
