00:00 hold your shears and how to hold your comb. So this is the cutting finger here. Always this.
00:08 This is what's moving. This is not. This is what's going to help keep it stable. Okay. So wherever
00:14 your fingers point, that is pretty much what you're cutting. Okay. So we're going to cut her
00:21 hair because it's layered all the way around. We're going to do a 90 degree all the way around.
00:26 90 is all the way out. Okay. And then we're going to bring the top to a 180 just to blend it in and
00:32 give it some lift. So you're going to establish what the client really wants. She wants her ears
00:36 cut out and short. She likes it short. Okay. So we're going to go in. Beginners, you're probably
00:43 going to need your sections part. So you have one here, here, here, here, here, and then you're going
00:50 to start a quad here and then you come here. You go back and forth. But I'm not going to teach you
00:55 the beginning stuff because I'm not good at basic. So we're going to go into the cut. Normally you
01:02 want to make sure the hair is very washed. You tilt her down and then you're going to come and
01:08 take all this. When the hair starts kicking out, this is where you're going to pretty much want to
01:12 cut. You see how I'm gliding the scissors? Yeah. Just glide it straight. You see how that works?
01:18 No need to hold that with your finger. Okay. Because what happens when you hold it here,
01:23 it makes the hair flip out. Okay. So you want to just glide it. Just glide it across.
01:30 You need some scissors, girl. Who got some scissors? Okay. Okay. So now she's going to switch.
01:40 So now that we've established a guide, you want to pretty much see that? Pretty much straight.
01:47 So I'm going to keep her head slightly tilted and the reason being because we're creating layers.
01:53 Okay. If I wasn't creating layers and I want it to be a blunt cut, then I would not tilt her head.
02:00 Okay. I would keep it straight. So blunt is what? Zero degree. Everything comes down,
02:06 but we're creating layers here and the shape is already here. So one of my students did it,
02:10 which is sneaky. She cut like me. She listened to me. So this is so easy to follow. So easy.
02:16 She has a natural curl. So I'm not going to hold her hair with a lot of tension
02:22 because of his natural curl. If I don't hold it with a lot of tension, if I start with less
02:28 tension, I got to do the whole head with less tension. If I start with a lot of tension,
02:33 then I got to do the whole head with a lot of tension. You understand? So this is going to be
02:37 our guide here. Some people bring you guide from here and then bring it down, or you can bring your
02:42 guide from here going up. Starting off, tilt the client head and we're going to work our guide from
02:49 here. You're going to pick a place on your finger that you're going to start from here and you're
02:53 going to go off from side to side, side to side, side to side. And this is going to become your
03:00 guide here, your fingers. Okay. Start in the middle. You're going to pull the hair out,
03:06 take your fingers, grab the hair. And what I like to do, I'm doing a two finger position.
03:11 So if you want to see that, a two finger, this is what's going to be my guide. Because you're
03:16 doing a 90. So I don't really have, the bottom is my guide and the position of how much I'm going to
03:22 cut bringing it out is because I'm going to measure with the two fingers. Okay. So if I do
03:28 two fingers starting off, what I got to do, two finger guide all the way throughout the whole
03:34 head, because if I don't, it's going to be uneven. Okay. So again, you're going to keep, you see how
03:41 I got this. This is your position. This comb never comes out of your hand until you complete this
03:47 haircut. You got to practice holding both. This comes out. What is this called? No people?
03:54 The pink fingers. No. Green fingers. Okay. This comes out, it raises here. When you're not cutting,
04:03 it goes here. This comes out and you're going to palm it. When you're ready to cut, it goes back,
04:08 it goes back up. When you're not cutting, you palm it. You take your thumb out because this is what,
04:14 this is the one that calls you to cut that cuts. Okay. So here we go. So I'm going to start in the
04:20 middle. I'm going to pull the hair out. I'm going to grab two fingers. It's my guide. That's my guide
04:26 here. I'm going to pick this spot right here on my finger. And I like the point cut, but I'm not
04:31 going to, cause it's going to take me time. I'll cut myself cause I'm talking. Okay. Go to the next
04:37 section. I pull the hair out, two fingers. I lay that finger flat against the head. I'm picking a
04:43 spot on my finger and I'm going to stop. I'm going to go out again, two fingers, put it out. That's
04:50 my guide and I'm cutting and picking a spot on my finger. Same here. Pulling hair out, two fingers
04:57 and I'm going to pick a spot on my finger. Same spot and I'm going to stop.
05:01 Speaker 1 (01:06):
05:11 Some people do this. You can do it this way. Same thing and cut down. I, I, it's just whatever you
05:18 get comfortable. So go here, two fingers, and it's going to let you know if you're cutting in the same
05:24 place. As long as you holding the hair the same, you're, you're not going to mess up. Stop at that
05:34 same position. Okay. Come up. Now I stopped here. So guess what? I'm going to grab the hair from
05:52 here, pull it up and see how I find my guide already. Cause it's a short piece. I'm going
05:57 to find another spot in my hand and I'm going to cut. Come here, two fingers, same thing, two fingers,
06:05 two fingers, two fingers,
06:18 two fingers. Well here, and you can pretty much see where you need to pick up at. See,
06:30 let me see if y'all can see it. You can see where I'm cutting. See how it drops down. See,
06:35 see the pattern is pretty much straight all over. You're going to see a little couple of little
06:40 pieces longer, but you can clean that up. But pretty much it's going straight all the way over.
06:44 Right? That's it. And you, you look at it. I like to look at it. Two fingers. Okay.
06:52 See, two finger. As long as you remember your placement or your fingers pick a spot on your
07:01 hand. You got to make, that's your guide. And I'm doing a 90 all the way around.
07:11 Your size is what's kind of tricky, but don't even worry about that. Cause you're going to,
07:15 I'm going to show you another secret how to grab that. Now, as you get a lot higher
07:20 up the head towards the crown, you might take off a little less. If you notice, I glot my hands.
07:27 It just happened. And I need to show y'all. And then now maybe you might want to go to a three
07:32 finger. I'm so used to when I do it, I know how to glot my hand out to cut it. It just comes out
07:38 right. But you're going to probably go to your three fingers. You got it? Because you go three
07:43 fingers. That means you want to leave what more hair, two fingers. You're taking off more that
07:49 your fingers become what these, this is what your finger becoming. So guess what? If you learn how
07:56 to work your fingers and you know how much these, I can do this whole cut with this, with my clippers.
08:01 Barbers usually don't pick up scissors hardly ever for nothing. They're trained to use clippers
08:08 for everything. We train to use both. That's why we're better than barbers.
08:12 All the thing that barbers do, they do that edge. See how I can just loosen it. I think my fingers
08:21 automatically did a three, didn't it? Yeah. See, once you cut so long and you start going up,
08:27 your fingers are automatically, I went two and up here, I just noticed it went straight to using
08:32 three fingers. Because it's like switching to your guard. You'll take one off and do
08:38 what? Go to the next guard. So you go in, yeah, that's right. I didn't know I was doing that.
08:46 And then I'm going to do the ears. You want to section out. Let me see if I can teach you the
08:54 beginner's way. It's hard for me to do that. Let's see how you do it, beginners. Thank you.
09:02 I just go like that. Okay, I think...
09:06 Okay, so we're going to cut the ears out. I got to figure out the shape, show y'all beginners.
09:16 This is not the beginner way. This is once you get advanced. But you see how I did that? I
09:21 pulled the long pieces of hair out. I started from here first. I cut that out. Then I dropped that,
09:29 cut that into that. I'm bringing my, got my guard underneath and now I'm bringing everything
09:34 down to it just by simply using scissors. See? The guys use the edgers. I use my scissors.
09:47 Go real soft close and it gives it a nice look. And you see what I'm doing? I'm pretty much edging
09:54 it out. That's a feminine edge. See it? There you go. Pull that hair. What I did is I pulled the
10:07 hair all the way over and I, right here, I stayed close to the ear. When I got here, I looked at the
10:13 hairline and I just went down with it. Okay, that's how you do that. Let me see if I can do
10:19 this side the same way. I'll pull that out. That's not the beginner steps, but I can't figure out how
10:27 to teach y'all how to start off with that. Next time I teach, I'll show you. But come to the ear
10:35 and instead of going here, you want to make sure both of them are the same. So I'm going to look
10:42 at my angle. Did I go down here this way? So you want to go down the same way because if you go up,
10:50 it'll throw it off a little bit. So I'm going to tilt her and I'm going to go down.
10:54 I'm going to make sure I start here and go down.
10:59 So I over-direct. Now I'm going to do the same thing. Bring the hair
11:10 and go down. Always the same way. If I would have did that side this way, then I would have went
11:16 up on this side, but I didn't. I went down. So I'm going to go here,
11:20 pull it down. And what I am cutting, I do need to show you this. I'm looking for this point right
11:27 here going down because if you cut here, you're going to have a hole. So you got to make sure
11:34 you start at the right point. So I'm coming here and I'm going to go down. Calm everything down
11:41 to it. The hair is getting a little dry. Okay. I'm going to morsh it just a little bit. You want to
11:51 make sure you keep it morshed. If you start off cutting it wet, wet, you have to continue cutting
11:58 it wet, wet. Okay. Remember I did over there. I pulled the hair down all the way over. Yeah,
12:09 you get to see it now. Look for the top of the ear. Come closest to the ear right here on the top,
12:14 curve it, bring that hair over, curve it, and go down just like you're edging.
12:26 Now be careful because these are sharp. Some people here, I mean, skin is soft and it'll bubble
12:31 up. So you don't want to cut into it. So be very careful. Okay. You want to come here.
12:36 There's a little piece here. So here I want to kind of make sure I round it. See it's already
12:41 round out. You want to make sure you round it. So sometimes you just go in a point, cut it just a
12:45 little bit. And I'm going to tell you one side you're going to cut so good, you're going to
12:52 cut so good with your eyes closed. And then the other side, you got to kind of think about it.
12:57 It's okay. Okay. That's your back and your sides. Now I'm going to come here and I'm going to ask
13:05 her, how do you wear the, do you wear bangs or everything? Bangs, back. Everything straight
13:10 back. So what I'm going to do, even though she wears her hair straight back, I cut where she can
13:15 wear any kind of way. So what I do is comb it, play with it. And now I'm going to look for weight.
13:26 It's basically all I wanted to do. That's advanced too, but I'm going to look for weight and see
13:31 where it looks heavier and where I want to take some hair out. Okay. And I'm feeling, I want you
13:37 guys, you don't mind, do you? I want you to feel right here. And I want you to feel right here.
13:41 Tell me, what do you think is the difference? Take your hand back and go right here. You take
13:46 your hand and go back. Just be honest with what you feel. Her head, her hair, what do you feel?
13:57 Go ahead. Feel here. Rub them both together. They're equal. Do they look equal?
14:15 No, look at it. Look at it. Do it look equal?
14:20 No, that looks cooler. Which one? Exactly. It does. But I want you to,
14:34 again, I want you to come feel. Come feel. See what I feel. I don't touch so many heads so I can.
14:40 Yeah, this is very fine. This one is more thick. And then what about her scalp? What about the,
14:47 feel her head. Go real close to her head. What does it feel like?
14:51 Okay. Okay. Okay. If you look, it looks like right here is pulling out a little bit.
15:03 The bone is prominent. Exactly. You can see, if you stand back, you can kind of see it is right here.
15:11 So that could be a factor why this is more. Do you sleep more on this side too? Yeah. Okay. So
15:18 this is another reason why this is more flatter and it's laying more. This one here does have a
15:24 little bit more hair. Well, it's almost even. See, it's pretty much even. But what I just told you,
15:31 right up in here, there's something going on right up in here. It's not always necessary.
15:36 You got to cut more hair. Maybe you got to thin it to accommodate for whatever right here. See,
15:42 it's right there. It's a difference right here. Just from playing with heads a lot, you'll see it.
15:50 So what I usually do, I'm not even going to stress that. I'm going to come in now. I'm looking,
15:56 and it's falling nice. So now I'm looking for weight. And because it's right there,
16:00 where I just told you that, right there, I'm going to come in and this is, I call it custom
16:06 cut. I'm going to point cut. And this is where I do a lot of point cut. Point cut is where you go in
16:11 and you just take some variation of the hair out, just little pieces
16:17 in this area. Right here, I'm going to pull this up,
16:26 cut right there. I'm finding little spots that I can cut.
16:29 Come in here. I'm going to point cut. Uh oh, uh oh.
16:38 Trey, go get a thing for me. Okay, now look at me. Now look. It's more smoother. I'm going to
16:49 move this hair out and it's more smoother now. Just by going in, cutting a few little pieces out,
16:57 I'm going to cut a little bit out right here just to get it even, a little bit more smoother.
17:02 See, it's even. It's all matching.
17:09 So I'm going to leave it alone for now. Go in. See right there, I'm just going to point cut.
17:19 And again, on the top, I do a lot of point cutting.
17:22 See there?
17:29 Brandy, can you detangler for me and just put some leave in?
17:38 I did.
17:39 Oh, okay. Awesome. You want to sit on dry for a few minutes?
17:44 Okay.
17:44 I know I got to trim. You're getting trimmed some, aren't you?
17:51 Yeah, I am.
17:54 See, now it's coming together.
17:56 Okay, now what I'm going to do now, this is what I do with all my cuts. Once I get it cut,
18:12 I bring all the hair forward. From here all the way forward.
18:18 And now I'm going to point cut. Anything that's hanging,
18:27 and I'm kind of making it like a, what do you call that? A C?
18:33 Moon? You see, I'm point cutting it.
18:40 And if you do that to all your clients, like I'm doing here, that'll be your final look.
18:45 That means she can wear her hair forward, back. It's cute. She can spike all that up.
18:52 She can play with it. I'm also going to go in and pull this up out my way.
18:59 And right here, I'm going to go in and I'm going to point cut it. It looks pretty even,
19:08 it's a little weight right here. But with me, this is another final thing I do. Can you look
19:14 down for a minute? I go right here in the middle, I pull this hair up and I'm just going to point
19:19 cut. Notice when you point cut, there's no straight lines. When you point cut, you're not trying to
19:27 make a straight line. See that? No connections. See, it's there. I know I'm bad.
19:37 But this is just something I like to do with my little shortcuts. That's why they say that girl
19:41 can cut and color. I was known for cutting color. See how pretty that looks? Now look at it now.
19:48 She can wear her hair any kind of way she want it. Go here now, I'm going to tilt it to the side
19:57 and just point cut a little bit.
20:04 Anything that looks like it's going to touch the ear, just going to point cut. You see I'm
20:08 going into the hair. I'm not really trying to connect nothing. I'm just making it look like
20:16 that. To me, when you can't see a straight, straight line, that's the best cut. I don't like
20:25 seeing. Even in my layers, and I'm going to show you on her. You getting layers again? Or no?
20:30 Man, get some layers. I need to see some layers. All right.
20:39 Now what I'm going to do is now that it's slightly drying,
20:57 and I like the way it feathers, I'm just going to go in here, going to lift the hair out,
21:02 and I'm going to kind of point cut a little bit. I notice some weight,
21:07 and it wasn't feathering the way I want it. I really want it to feather. You see here,
21:14 I really want it to feather into here. I'm going to go in. See, that looks so much better now.
21:23 Instead of blunt. Go in. Now I'm going to come here. I'm going to lift this one,
21:34 and just point cut. Right now, I call this custom cutting, because now I'm just cutting it to fit
21:40 her, to fit what I want. This hair can go any direction, and she can look good.
21:45 Look at here. That's feathering pretty good, but still, that just makes me think I need to take a
21:53 lot of hair out, but I don't. I am going to go in, and there you go. I have a weight. See it?
22:00 I'm going to point cut it. No straightness to it.
22:06 You go in here. I'm going to point cut a little bit here. Ladies, that's how you get when people
22:16 like that feather look. That's how you pull it out, and you point cut. Pull it out, point cut,
22:22 and that's how you get the hair done. Even if you're doing quick weaves, a lot of hair stylists,
22:28 they like to cut, and then spray a lot of sprints, and make it go that way, because they can't cut.
22:34 I'm just being real. If you can cut, and then you take your hand and go like, it's just going to
22:40 fall just like that. Same thing. Now I'm going to go here, and I'm going to be done in a second.
22:51 What I'm doing now is wrong, because you're going to hurt your back. You're supposed to do this.
22:55 Don't do all this, because you're going to pull your back out. Now I'm going to go here,
23:01 and I'm going to point cut up in here. See how that looks? That's point cut.
23:06 Some people point cut just to get it straight. What's the purpose? You might as well go like
23:11 that. Pull it up, and do the same thing here. Nikki's watching. Hi Nikki! This is your client!
23:21 Yes. Okay, there we go. Now look, she can wear her hair any kind of way she wants to wear it.
23:33 I'm going to clean up her little sides. I love cutting. I'm going to go in, and I'm going to
23:39 keep it feminine. Keep it like a lady. How that sounds? Sweet like a lady.
23:47 She said, "Hey, miss y'all. We miss you too."
23:59 You heard Miss Jackie? She said, "Miss y'all."
24:09 Miss Jackie used to come and do a class too. Yes, she did. She can wear it any kind of way.
24:14 The wind can blow it. She can put a little mousse in it. She can do whatever she wants to do.
24:21 Spike it however she wants to wear this hair. It's going to go.
24:25 It's going to look good. She wears it all back.
24:30 Look at that. See how it's just doing its own thing?
24:38 I'm just bad. I just want this. It's just bad. It's just going to do what it do.
24:50 She wants a little full bang. However she wants to wear it. She can wear it all to the side.
24:56 Wear this down. She said she's going to drop by tomorrow, Miss Jackie.
25:01 Okay. Yay. However she wants to wear it. I'm going to blow her off.
25:07 Excuse me, everybody.
25:15 I'm going to blow her back. She wears it back. I keep nails on because these are my cones.
25:22 When I was in school, I used to wear them this long. I hardly ever use the cones.
25:27 I use these. To me, I can position the hair how I want it.
25:33 See how my cut goes? No product. Look what it does. I use the curling iron.
25:43 She said she learned from the best. Yes, you did, girl. Look, yes, you did.
25:51 How are you doing? That's Wendy Williams.
25:57 I call this a wash and go. You're traveling.
26:07 Don't have time to worry about curling irons and all of that.
26:11 That's a huge swill that I need to keep.
26:15 She's so cute.
26:16 Nice.
26:20 You wish you could pipe this up.
26:27 Wash with a little mousse on it and go.
26:34 I like to define my cuts so when I'm done cutting and she needs to, people are going to look like,
26:49 wow, the very detail. Look at all those layers all the way through. That's the 90 all the way around.
27:02 All right.
27:09 Didn't need a cone. Really don't need product. I mean, she's the type that don't like all this
27:14 stuff in her hair. I cut it because a lot of people are like, well, my hair won't stay spiky.
