00:00 All right so we're working on Morgan here. Gonna do a big change so you can
00:04 see she's got quite a bit of hair. A lot of length. Gonna work her into more of a
00:09 kind of tight tailored bob shape.
00:13 So just showing off the sectioning here. So just got a kind of rectangular panel
00:22 through the top. It says just above the parietal ridge. Each side is just pinned
00:29 up. Work down from the crown area to just on top of the ear on both sides and then
00:39 through the back we've just taken a middle section vertically. I'm just
00:45 showing what my sectioning is gonna be. Just taking vertical sections working
00:50 from one side to the other. So first section starting at the top. You can see
00:54 my finger angle is kind of diving down into the nape. Wanting to create a
01:02 graduated shape that works shorter into the nape and longer as it works up to
01:10 the head. So building up weight as we move up the head shape.
01:17 Working down into the nape now. Keeping my fingers really tight to the head.
01:24 Section two. Vertical directly next to section one. Keeping the hair groomed and
01:31 cleaned out of the way. Section two gets over directed straight backwards using
01:38 section one as the guide. Working down in the same manner.
01:44 [Music]
01:48 Really important as you get into the nape to make sure your fingers are
01:58 sitting close to the head shape here.
02:01 Section three same thing over directed back to section two. Trying to keep
02:10 everything really flat really square to the back of the head. I don't want a
02:16 dramatic amount of length around behind the ear. I just want it to get slightly
02:21 longer.
02:23 So we kind of skip the head here.
02:39 But everything's the same. Everything getting directed straight backwards.
02:45 Working with my fingers angled down to the nape. From long to short building
02:52 that graduated shape. With these last couple sections you can really see what
03:01 the over direction does working straight backwards. So I'm not over directing each
03:07 section to the previous just pulling everything straight back to the wall
03:10 behind me. That keeps my horizontal shape very square while my vertical shape
03:17 would be more triangular. It's shorter at the nape longer as it works up.
03:23 Kind of showing that finished result on that side. You can see that kind of build
03:32 up of weight. Side two. Process is the same.
03:41 But with working any graduation through the back finger angle will slightly
03:47 change. So now my fingers are working down and pointing to the nape instead of
03:51 working from my fingertips into the palm of my hand. It's just easier to do this.
03:58 It's easier on the body. Move the head a little bit better working with your
04:03 fingers down on the right side or the left side if you're a left-handed
04:07 person.
04:10 It'd be very difficult for me to work with my fingers up on this side.
04:17 [Music]
04:29 Same process a little bit different view. You can see my fingers working pointing
04:36 down towards the nape. So I'm always kind of keeping myself in check when I'm
04:43 working and just making sure that I'm maintaining a consistent finger angle,
04:48 consistent over direction, consistent elevation. Those are the controls that
04:52 are going to allow me to create something that is very form-fitting and
04:55 specific to her.
04:58 Skip the head again. Really now you can see the over direction just pulling it
05:11 straight backwards.
05:14 With the finger angle remaining the same, still getting shorter as it goes into
05:19 the nape.
05:22 So last section all of it straight back. Clean consistent sectioning. Everything
05:34 the same size every time. Really move the head around working in that area to
05:38 avoid the shoulder.
05:41 [Music]
06:06 So really just making sure that everything's clean right there. Just
06:10 cleaning up any loose hairs. Just tidying up a bit.
06:16 You can see the balance there, the weight line. So now we're going to do something a little
06:23 different. I'm going to work the perimeter outline in the back first while it's wet.
06:27 The reason I choose to do that is because I built the graduation and the
06:31 amount of hair at the bottom is pretty small. So I wanted to create a really
06:34 strong line and I think you get the most control whenever you're working with wet
06:38 hair. So just worked a curved line from the middle up to just behind the ear.
06:43 Doing the same thing on the opposite side. So just using the tips of the
06:47 scissors and just drawing in the line that I want to see. So they're not going
06:51 to be exactly the same on both sides. I wanted a little bit of a symmetry and
06:54 just something that kind of was a little bit different and really followed the
06:57 contour of her neck. So it's okay to do these kind of detail things whenever the
07:05 hair is wet. You get more control that way honestly. It's just sometimes based
07:09 on the technique it might be better to do it when it's dry. So working into the
07:13 front just taking a horizontal section and just connecting that line that we
07:19 cut in the back through the front. So I tapped above the ear just to release a
07:22 little bit of tension. Really just aiming it kind of right at the corner of the
07:28 mouth into the cheekbone area. So same thing just taking a horizontal section
07:35 letting the hair fall naturally and just cutting along that guideline. What I love
07:40 about this is that we're not using any elevation so there's a internal
07:45 disconnection from the graduation in the back and while there's still an external
07:49 disconnection through the line in the front.
07:54 So last little bit on that side. Really just making sure that I'm staying
08:03 consistent tapping above the ear just to release any tension so there's no hole
08:06 or jump there. I'm just working that line straight through letting it sit right on
08:12 the cheekbone.
08:14 It's really clean consistent work. Okay so now we go to the top of that panel
08:23 take a horizontal section. Now we're gonna connect it to the graduation in
08:28 the back but we're gonna layer it instead. So I'm just showing what my
08:33 guide is gonna be and what my cutting line will be. So taking that horizontal
08:37 section elevating it straight up grabbing a little bit of that longest
08:42 graduation from the back and connecting a square shape through the top of the
08:46 panel. So now we're gonna release some of that weight that we put in by creating a
08:52 line. So just pulling everything straight up connecting it through to the length
09:01 of the graduation in the back and creating a new guideline. Section two
09:07 just below it now we're gonna bring everything straight up into this point
09:10 and we're gonna do this until we run out of hair. Now the hair at the bottom won't
09:13 reach. So in the back we've got graduation and then through the exterior
09:19 there's a line and then through the interior here is a different technique a
09:23 very very strong really high elevation layer. So that's really gonna diffuse the
09:31 edges along the front hairline while creating a lot more movement as well.
09:40 So you can see how strong the elevation is and there's really not any hair being
09:49 cut off at this point.
09:51 So it didn't disrupt the exterior line at all but created more movement through
10:06 the interior. Same thing on the opposite side horizontal section working through
10:14 connecting to the line in the back.
10:20 Same process.
10:41 Last one and dropping all that hair touching above the ear.
10:46 I'm just connecting it through to the line in the back.
11:06 Really aiming the length in the line to sit right underneath the round of the
11:11 cheekbone. That's what we want to accentuate. Alright so moving on same
11:17 thing horizontal section at the top of that panel connecting through to the
11:21 graduation in the back via layering through the front keeping everything
11:26 really flat.
11:29 [Music]
11:32 We will just repeat that process all the way through.
11:54 Elevating everything up and just removing any little kind of bits of hair
12:00 that are still left from the length on the bottom. But again when we comb this
12:05 down get this really nice connection to the exterior line while there's a
12:10 disconnection through the interior of the haircut. So working into the top now
12:15 so we've taken that rectangular section on the top and we've created three
12:18 independent panels through the front. So I'm gonna take a section that goes
12:24 across that panel in the back of it and elevate it straight up and cut a square
12:30 line and we cut it pretty short. Now this will become my fringe.
12:35 So what we're gonna do is we're gonna cut this line and then we're gonna
12:42 over direct everything in front of it backwards to that point. So it's gonna
12:45 get slightly longer as it works towards the face. You put that layer on top it
12:50 does a couple of things. Sometimes people with layers or with fringes sometimes
12:56 people with fringes they aren't allowed to wear things necessarily the way they
13:00 want because they have cowlicks or growth patterns stuff that would kind of
13:03 inhibit them from wearing something that is a very blunt fringe. Morgan has a
13:08 growth pattern in the front of her hair but she did want a fringe and so what we
13:11 decided was to layer it. So what that does is it allows the hair to move
13:15 around a little bit more so it doesn't have to look so blunt. It can be very
13:20 kind of loose and fluid and when we go in and do the refinement then we can
13:24 really strengthen the line up.
13:28 So panel two same thing we're just gonna make it a little bit longer. So starting
13:37 at the back of the second panel in the middle just elevating the hair straight
13:43 up cutting a square line.
13:46 And again what we're gonna do is just over direct everything backwards to that
14:01 point. So you've got the front one with short in the back and the front panel
14:07 longer in the front. Second panel shorter in the back longer in the front. It's
14:10 gonna lay over the fringe that you've already got and then we'll do the same
14:16 thing on the on the third panel. So we're creating three kind of independent
14:21 sections of layering that will sit in the fringe which will help allow the
14:27 hair to kind of move around a little bit but also give it some support for the
14:31 style that we want.
14:36 So last panel through the back cutting it a little bit longer so each one is
14:41 completely disconnected from the one in front of it.
14:46 Over directing everything backwards to that cutting line.
15:03 We'll see when we drop this comb it forward is it all just kind of flows
15:14 together into that fringe area.
15:18 It's just kind of examining the haircut taking a look using some of the styling
15:26 gel. I really like this is like a blow-dry enhancer so what it'll do is
15:32 really help to smooth the hair out gives it a little bit of hold just enough to
15:35 kind of allow the hair to kind of behave for me.
15:40 She's in a flat wrapping technique so keeping the hair very small tight to the
15:47 head. Utilizing the blow-dryer without a nozzle to kind of diffuse the hair out
15:54 and allow it to dry a little bit faster. Just keeping everything really tight and
15:59 small not using a lot of lifting or leafing or anything like that. I really
16:05 want like a very form-fitting shape that accentuates the haircut. The haircut is
16:11 the style in this not my blow-dry. So working into the back just those short
16:15 little hairs making sure that I'm getting those down.
16:27 So into the refinement stage. So just moving that hair from the top and then
16:34 working in around the face and just kind of carving out a little bit of a
16:36 c-shape that sits around the orbital bone there. Really just open the eye up.
16:43 So not disrupting any of the length of the bottom but just kind of creating a
16:55 little bit of an opening through the front. Open up the face a bit more. Draw
17:00 attention to the eyes and the cheekbones which is really what the point of the
17:03 haircut was. Just using the tips of the scissors cutting a little bit at a time.
17:10 Working into the perimeter outline. So pretty happy with it the way that it was
17:16 so I don't need to do a ton of refining but I am just taking the points of the
17:19 scissors and just kind of chipping into it a little bit. So I just want to soften
17:22 the edge so it's not quite so strong.
17:27 Picking up any little kind of areas and gaps that there might have been through
17:32 you know just the hair moving around. It's hard to keep things 100% consistent
17:36 all the time so you have to go in and refine but I'm not trying to do any
17:39 correction with this so I'm just really personalizing the haircut.
17:44 [Music]
17:58 It's just attention to detail is what it is. This is what makes your haircuts kind
18:03 of sing I think. A lot of times people can rush through this process but if you
18:09 can slow down and really personalize it for your client or your model or
18:14 whatever it is then you're gonna add a lot more value to the service.
18:21 [Music]
18:28 Same thing on the opposite side. Just chipping in around the hairline.
18:35 [Music]
18:46 Really just want to open that up and get some of those unnecessary hairs out of
18:52 the way. I'm a firm believer in that if it doesn't belong we should just take it
18:56 away. So it's not the same as the other side. It's different. The shape is
19:02 different. The way that I'm going about it is slightly different. Just kind of
19:05 working a little bit higher up into the hairline in the front but that's because
19:09 I felt like that's what really needed to happen.
19:13 So instead of using like a trimmer on her face I'm just using the scissors
19:19 kind of like a scissor over skin technique just to remove some of those
19:22 shorter hairs. It'll make the girl out a little softer a little bit more feminine.
19:29 Refining the line on the opposite side.
19:33 So just using the tips of the scissors.
19:38 Even though I'm cutting flat I'm still just using the very tips there. Alright
19:48 so we're gonna go in and start point cutting into the layering. So starting
19:50 through the longest panel of layers in the back. Just elevating the hair, lifting
19:55 up where it was cut and just pointing into that strong shape. So you can really
19:59 see the shape there. Just pointing into it, soften it a bit, create a little bit
20:02 more movement. I'm just gonna gradually work forward and kind of blend those
20:06 areas together. So the areas that are disconnected where it was shorter and
20:11 then it got a little bit longer a little bit longer. Just kind of blending those
20:14 lines blurring them out a little bit. I think just allows the haircut to kind of
20:19 have a little bit more movement. But again not going crazy here. Not going in
20:24 disrupting the original technique that I used. Not changing the shape at all. Just
20:31 slightly softening the interior of the hair.
20:37 So here's the fun part. Pushing the hair down onto the forehead and then going
20:47 through with the tips of the scissors and kind of removing that excess length
20:51 that we had from over directing the hair back in that first panel. Again you can
20:57 see the kind of growth pattern that she's got there. I think a lot of people
21:00 would be scared by that. I kind of like it. I think it adds a little bit of
21:06 something special to the haircut. Just to have that little split and kind of jump
21:10 in the hairline. But if you take the fringe short enough so you don't have to
21:14 worry about it jumping too much.
21:20 So just going in chipping in kind of random. We wanted it to have a very kind
21:26 of random diffused look. Not super blunt and clean. So just going in with the tips
21:33 of the scissors. Opening up the face a bit more every time.
21:39 And we've edited this down but it took a little while to do just to get it
21:48 exactly right. So working into the sides. You know we had that length at the
21:55 bottom. So just kind of going in and pointing them out a bit. Using the
21:59 finishing texture spray. Her hair is very fine and so if I wanted to have any kind
22:08 of grit or kind of style to it this is a great product for it. Because it's going
22:11 to kind of thicken the hair up a bit. Give it a bit more kind of feel. And just
22:18 makes it feel like there's a little bit more hair to kind of move around and
22:21 mess with. Plus it's got a good hold but it's also movable enough that we
22:24 could spray it for days and then shake it out. We wouldn't have any buildup or
22:28 anything. But it really just made the hair kind of texture up a bit more. Kind
22:34 of sit a little bit higher and it allows me to go in and kind of piece it out
22:36 with my fingers and just create like a different look. There's kind of the end
22:43 result in the chair. Just a tight little bob that sits. Kind of accentuates the cheek
22:49 bones. Opens up the face a bit more.
23:01 Just a fun modern cut. Hope you guys like it.
