00:06 A pure, strong outline, allowing the hair
00:32 to be cut to its natural fall to create
00:35 a beautiful, classic bob.
00:36 Prior to commencing technique, it
00:50 is important to choose the correct length and shape,
00:52 taking into account the face shape and hair texture.
00:57 Before shampooing, check hairlines and growth patterns.
01:01 This will help you with any unpredictable movement
01:03 as you progress throughout the haircut.
01:06 One of the most important aspects of haircutting
01:08 is to work with the natural fall of the hair,
01:10 particularly for the one-length bob.
01:12 To find the natural parting, comb the hair back
01:17 and gently push forward with your hand
01:19 to allow the hair to part naturally.
01:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:24 Start by taking a panel either side of the parting
01:43 to be sectioned off.
01:44 This panel will be cut later once the hair
01:46 has been blow dried to ensure a precise finish.

02:06 To divide the back and sides, take a vertical section
02:29 from the top of the head to the ears.
02:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:34 Now part the hair through the center back.

03:02 Begin by taking a horizontal section in the nape.
03:05 At this stage, check your client's body position,
03:07 making sure that they are sitting upright,
03:09 arms are unfolded, and legs are uncrossed.
03:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:14 With the head slightly forward, comb the hair down
03:17 using the wide end of the comb, ensuring no tension,
03:20 and cut to desired length.
03:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:25 Beware of growth patterns.
03:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:49 Use your fingers to check the balance.
03:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:58 There are two different techniques
04:22 for cutting the one-length bob, either through the comb
04:25 or holding the hair against the skin.
04:27 In this case, the hair was cut through the comb,
04:29 allowing for the natural texture of the hairlines
04:32 and onto the skin with very little tension.

05:16 Subsequent sections are taken.
05:18 These should be of an equal thickness
05:20 and be fine enough to see your previous section as a guide.
05:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:47 Body position is crucial.
05:49 Ensure you stand directly behind your client
05:51 to maintain a square line.

07:52 Once the top of the ear has been reached,
07:54 Take your next section from the centre back horizontally through to the temple.
07:58 [Music]
08:28 Continue to cut the back sections in exactly the same manner.

09:00 [Music]
09:14 It is very important at this stage that the client's head is sitting in a very natural position.
09:19 Continue to check overall body position.
09:22 Comb sections straight down, gently tapping the hair above the ear to compensate for any protrusion.
09:29 Avoid any faults in the finish line.
09:31 As a precaution, it is a good idea to slightly lift the chin area to accentuate the front hairline.
09:38 [Music]
10:00 The balance is crucial to the final result of this shape and therefore checked continuously throughout the technique.
10:07 This can be done technically and visually using the mirror.
10:10 The next section is taken parallel to the previous.
10:16 It is essential to comb the hair from roots to ends to maintain an even tension.
10:23 [Music]
10:48 [Music]
11:12 [Music]
11:33 When checking the balance, make sure you have a small amount of hair between your fingers.
11:39 [Music]
11:55 Your next section is cut in exactly the same manner.
12:00 [Music]
12:11 Remember, very little tension is needed.

12:45 [Music]
13:14 [Music]
13:30 Check the balance from behind the ear through to the front hairline.
13:35 [Music]
13:58 Once the hair is dried, begin to refine the outline using a pointing technique.
14:04 Ensure your client shakes their head to see how their hair falls naturally.
14:07 [Music]
14:33 Now you have completed your outline, release the final panel and blow dry.
14:38 [Music]
14:49 Point cutting the final panel when dry will allow for the natural fall of the hair and at the same time create a clean, strong finish.
14:59 [Music]
15:28 [Music]
15:33 Continue to move the hair around to refine the line.
15:37 [Music]
15:47 Hair is pulled back over the parting and gently point cut to complete the look.
15:53 [Music]
16:08 The haircut is now complete.
