00:00 There it is. We are live? Mm-hmm. Hello, we are live. This is Lauren. We're gonna do a little bit of
00:12 internal weight removal on her hair. She's got a lot of hair, so we're gonna
00:15 give some people a chance to kind of come in before we start. Gonna be a kind
00:21 of quick thing tonight. We have chose not to go through the entire drying process
00:27 on her hair because she's more kind of a wash and wear. So what we're gonna do is
00:33 go through and do the haircut. I'll kind of set it and show you the way that it
00:36 will essentially look after it dries. But we'd be broadcasting until till midnight
00:42 if we tried to dry it. So as soon as we get done sharing the page a bit, then
00:49 we'll get going. Just kind of start off and show you the kind of sectioning that
00:54 we did. Essentially we just sectioned the front from the back, so the division
00:58 point to behind the ear and the mastoid. And then same thing on the other side.
01:03 And then I just took a parting along the parietal ridge. We're gonna start in the
01:07 front left panel.
01:10 If you have any questions, please type them out. We'll try to get to as many of
01:18 them as possible. And then just remember that this stays on the previous Facebook
01:23 page indefinitely. I can't... are you pointing that at me? Yes I am. She's sharing the
01:28 page so we don't know if I was in the frame or not.
01:32 Anybody home? Steven says hello from Phoenix. What's up Steven?
01:40 Alright, let's do it.
01:49 Ready? Yep.
01:53 I'm ready. Okay. So I'm gonna start with a vertical section right above the ear.
02:05 And what we're gonna do is we're gonna use elevation as our way of kind of
02:09 removing weight. So we're gonna create a lot of layering through the inside of
02:13 the haircut. So what I'm gonna do is just bring this kind of section straight up
02:18 in the air. And I'm going to cut a line that sits flat to the floor. So parallel
02:28 to the floor. And just elevate it really high. So I'm really moving about the
02:34 maximum amount of weight through the side here. So it's gonna be a pretty
02:41 dramatic shift as far as just the overall shape. Kind of a cool like shaggy
02:49 mulledy type thing. She's got fringe so we're gonna work that in as well. So just
02:55 working that line. So still preserving some length but just removing the weight
03:00 of the inside of it. I might see where that falls and I might even kind of
03:05 angle a little bit more and really kind of scoop out the side. So because of the
03:09 way it's falling when I look at it it's kind of hitting a weird spot right here.
03:12 So making a slight adjustment to that. Sarah says hey from California. Hey Sarah.
03:20 So same thing I'm gonna elevate the hair straight up. I'm just gonna utilize the
03:25 angle of my fingers to kind of remove a bit more of that internal weight. Okay so
03:31 originally I thought I was gonna go this way and I saw kind of the way that it
03:35 fell. I didn't really like the way that it looked. So now I'm gonna just elevate a
03:39 bit more. Or not elevate more, just angle my fingers a bit more so I get a little
03:43 bit more weight removal through that inside while preserving the exact same
03:49 amount of length through the edge.
03:53 Just kind of thin that out a bit. So section two directly in front of it.
04:07 What I want to do is
04:11 bring that hair straight out from the head. So I'm not over directing it
04:17 backwards. I'm actually kind of pushing the neck section. Bringing it straight up
04:25 and straight out from the head. I have to pay attention to that how her head moved
04:30 right there because if it goes like this then my elevation changes. So I have to
04:33 keep it right there. So when I'm working I'm always kind of paying attention to
04:38 her head position in relation to what I'm doing with the haircut.
04:45 So just repeating that process.
04:55 So section three straight out from the head from where it lives. So not over
05:01 directing the hair backwards. Just bringing it straight out.
05:07 So immediately we could make we could make the haircut different just by
05:19 utilizing over direction here. If I pulled everything back then it's gonna
05:23 get slightly longer as it works towards the front. I'm probably gonna do that on
05:27 this last section just because the way that the hairline is shaped and wanting
05:32 to kind of preserve the density.
05:36 Victoria asks how much you're cutting from her length. I don't know I didn't
05:42 really measure to be completely honest. I mean you can see there's quite a bit
05:46 coming off in the interior. I don't know three four inches maybe. Could also be
05:53 two inches. Don't really know. Didn't measure. Kind of just going based off of
05:58 what I think would be suitable for her face shape and kind of things that we
06:03 talked about when we were discussing what she does with her hair. So still you
06:08 know got some length around the front. You know but you can see the difference
06:12 length that's left in the back. So now we're gonna do is just go to the other
06:17 side and do the exact same thing. So I'm just gonna kind of move some of this
06:21 hair that's on the top over to the other side. So you can see how much of a
06:27 difference lengthwise we've got. So we're kind of experiment with that a little
06:32 bit too.
06:34 Cole Thompson is watching.
06:45 Erin Cypher is watching. She says hello. Always count on her. So we chose to kind
06:56 of work this way because the amount of hair that we're dealing with it's really
07:01 pretty remarkable how much hair there is. People get extensions to have this much hair.
07:08 I mean it's cool. Yeah. It's cool to have like to give some of it away. I'm sure
07:13 there are donations for that.
07:16 So I think the longer I've been doing hair the more I've kind of gotten a
07:26 little bit looser as far as like the things that I like aesthetically. So
07:30 before you know like I was a younger hairdresser super into like really
07:36 strong geometric shapes. Had to blow-dry it. Had to iron it. Had to create this
07:40 kind of like immovable object that would sit on the head. The shape of it. And now
07:47 as I've kind of done this a bit longer I start to appreciate like a softness to
07:52 things. So so here's an interesting kind of tip here. So when I was working on the
07:56 left side I was standing behind and I was elevating and I was cutting from
08:00 short to long. I can't do that this way and stand behind it because I it would
08:04 be impossible for me to cut like this because my hand would get in the way of
08:08 the hair. So what I have to do in these situations is either walk around or turn
08:14 them. And in this particular situation just so you guys can see I'm gonna turn
08:17 them. Turn her. And then what I'm gonna do have her face me. And then that way I can
08:23 operate in the same kind of like way that I was. So I can still use my elbow
08:29 to kind of elevate the hair and that will allow me to kind of keep a
08:33 consistency within the haircut. So it's really operating short to long.
08:42 What I was kind of saying with that is that this is gonna be a very kind of
08:52 soft look when it's finished. But obviously using very strong technique to
08:57 achieve it.
09:03 So section two right beside it. Slight difference here is that instead of kind
09:09 of pushing the hair I'm gonna comb it towards me. But still just keeping all of
09:14 the hair coming straight out from where it lives on the head shape. So not
09:18 utilizing over direction until I get to that last section in the front to kind
09:23 of preserve the length in that hairline.
09:27 Any questions? Nope. Great. There are two kid handprints on the wall behind you.
09:44 Oh. Looks like little like a little demon in his back. In the video. Nobody tells you these
09:56 things when you own a salon. Kids will touch the wall. You have to repaint twice a week.
10:04 So all you potential salon owners out there. With children. Victoria asks how do
10:15 you know how much to take off from the second side so it's the same length as
10:19 the first side you already cut? I mean honestly I just eyeballed it. I might
10:26 kind of check it to see if it's exactly even. But like I was kind of saying
10:31 earlier with the haircut it's very loose. Her texture allows for some kind of
10:36 discrepancies and difference in length and stuff. I'm not too concerned with it.
10:41 They're sisters not twins is kind of a thing that has been said to me before. As
10:45 long as it's one's not an inch longer than the other one then I think we're
10:50 pretty solid for this particular look. But if you wanted to then you could just
10:54 measure it. Utilize the comb as a ruler and kind of just measure that length.
11:03 But I like to live dangerously.
11:12 I eyeball it.
11:14 Kind of visually check it. I'll turn her and bring it forward so we can
11:21 kind of check to see if I'm generally close.
11:25 So just combing this hair forward that I didn't cut yet. I'm kind of looking at
11:33 what is underneath. About the same. Pretty close. I think it might it might be really
11:50 close. This side's drier so it's kind of had a little more time to work its way
11:54 up. So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna kind of create some like little channels
11:59 in this. So I'm going to take a section from the front or from the back into the
12:06 front and I'm gonna comb it down. I'm gonna leave that alone so I'm not gonna
12:10 cut it. I'll connect it to the length on the bottom in a moment. So now what I'm
12:16 gonna do is I'm gonna take another section. Same way. But I am gonna cut this
12:23 one. Katie Perkins is watching. Hi Katie.
12:29 She can feel it. She's like there's a lot up there. So on this one I'm just going to
12:45 kind of elevate the hair straight up and cut something that sits flat to the
12:48 floor. And then lengthwise I'm just creating some separation. So I don't
12:55 think that it necessarily has to be the same on every one of them. So that's my
13:04 first one. I'm just kind of looking to see where it's gonna fall. So really the
13:07 whole point of this is just to create as much kind of separation and movement
13:10 through the interior of the haircut as possible. So the next panel will go from
13:18 the front to the back again. Then I'll skip it. So I'm not gonna cut it. I'm just
13:22 gonna let it kind of come down. Again I can connect that into the perimeter
13:26 length after. Same thing. Taking a section from the back to the front.
13:33 I'm gonna elevate that up and cut that at a determined length. Now there's a couple
13:39 things I can do. I need to just choose a length or if I wanted I could grab a
13:43 piece from the part that I just cut and utilize that as kind of a clue to know
13:48 that it's the same. I'm not really too concerned about it so I'm just gonna
13:51 drop it.
13:54 You know so what we're working with here this is not necessarily something that
14:02 you would do on every client or every person that you're working on. It's more
14:07 kind of tailored for this particular situation just because of the amount of
14:11 hair that we have and the kind of freedom that she gave me with the
14:15 direction of the haircut. She said she was fine with having
14:19 something kind of fun. So I'm not working with a bunch of limitations
14:24 where I have to create a situation where she needs to be able to like... Some people
14:30 have to throw it up in a ponytail for certain things. You know what I mean? So just a little bit of
14:36 inconsistency and the haircut is okay if it's planned. So second side I'm gonna
14:42 just drop this next one that's above the disconnection on this side and work this
14:49 next section. Erin Segret says this is such a cool technique and Dakota Sue
14:56 Willie said appreciate you for your knowledge and craftsmanship. You're a bad
14:59 mess. Thank you. Appreciate you watching.
15:04 So we're gonna elevate that up. Just kind of square line that sits parallel to the
15:15 floor above the head shape.
15:18 [silence]
15:34 Just kind of checking something here.
15:36 So...
15:38 [silence]
15:41 Working off the same kind of concept.
15:44 [silence]
15:48 So skip one, cut one.
15:50 [silence]
16:14 That'll be the last one on that.
16:16 [silence]
16:24 I'm just combing the hair forward and kind of seeing how it looks where it falls.
16:27 Looking at the texture. Kind of releasing some of that shape. So what I'm gonna do now is just
16:35 connect it through to the perimeter.
16:38 We need to stop for a cape.
16:40 [silence]
17:00 I'm just gonna work everything kind of down to one where I see that kind of...
17:07 There's the disconnection. Just work that link to the top into it.
17:13 Just slightly past it. If I want I could come in and kind of cut into the edges a bit so it's not so blunt.
17:20 [silence]
17:33 Same thing on this side.
17:35 [silence]
17:56 So I think working in a very disciplined way for so long,
18:00 my career has kind of given me the freedom to go approach things a little bit softer and looser now.
18:07 So I think it's important to understand you kind of have to develop a relationship with the techniques
18:15 in a way that's going to allow you to achieve the things that you want
18:18 before you start kind of branching off into just going crazy.
18:22 Because you can get lost in this kind of stuff pretty easily.
18:25 But I feel pretty confident in that.
18:28 [silence]
18:32 The clear one has water in it.
18:35 This has water?
18:37 [silence]
18:40 I would not have put it there.
18:42 [silence]
19:11 So I'm going to work into the fringe.
19:14 [silence]
19:16 Or the bangs, whatever you want to call it.
19:18 [silence]
19:20 And I'm going to start kind of just like a little kind of pie section through the front here.
19:25 [silence]
19:40 And just layered that.
19:42 So then I'm going to work side to side through here.
19:45 [silence]
20:04 So what I want is kind of this softness that kind of kicks out a little bit as it goes.
20:07 So I'm going to just expand that pie shape a little bit each time.
20:11 And then over direct everything to the middle.
20:14 So really utilizing the head shape and over direction to create the kind of overall outlook,
20:22 or the overall outcome that I want.
20:24 [silence]
20:29 So now that I have a guide on both sides, I don't have to necessarily work side to side.
20:33 So I can just work one side first.
20:37 [silence]
20:57 And just working outside to the kind of recession point and then stopping.
21:02 [silence]
21:05 It was the air.
21:07 [silence]
21:32 It's just kind of layered, kind of wispy little fringe.
21:37 So I'm just going to go back to working side to side now.
21:43 So on the opposite side, just got to bring everything to the middle.
21:48 [silence]
22:17 [silence]
22:27 Any questions?
22:28 Nope.
22:29 How many people we got?
22:30 26.
22:31 [silence]
22:42 So really just kind of creating something that sits soft.
22:49 Kind of opens up the face.
22:54 And that's the front.
22:55 Yeah, good job.
22:56 I did it.
22:57 She knows.
22:59 They learn quick.
23:00 [silence]
23:11 So then you're going to drop the back and we're just going to kind of look at the difference in length that we've got here.
23:17 So if I turn her, then you guys can see kind of how much length difference is here.
23:23 And I wish you could feel the density just so you kind of know what we're working with as far as kind of how thick it is.
23:31 So what we want to do is just create a similar effect through the back as we did through the front.
23:37 And then some people would be like, "The length."
23:41 You know what I mean?
23:42 I don't want to cut it all that length.
23:44 So we're just going to carve some of it out to where it kind of flows a bit as opposed to trying to create a really uniform shape that sits around the back of it.
23:55 So what I'm going to do first is I'm going to start on this side.
23:58 What?
24:00 Are you okay?
24:02 Mm-hmm.
24:04 My ankle gave out.
24:08 So just taking a diagonal back section and kind of bringing this out from the head shape like that.
24:15 And then essentially what I'm going to do is like if I had a razor, I would just kind of like razor into the length here to kind of create some similarities while also leaving a little bit of a kind of a disconnection.
24:28 But for those of you that are razor cutters out there, this might be something that you could kind of look into as well.
24:38 Lou Howard said, "Hello from Michigan."
24:41 Hello.
24:42 And Massimo said, "They love briefing."
24:45 Nice. Thank you.
24:47 So what you'll do is there's the length.
24:49 So I want to kind of create some--I just want to blur this a bit if that makes any sense.
24:53 So I'm kind of just going to come in and--so as I'm working, I'm just kind of closing the scissor, sliding into it a bit.
25:05 So like I said, it's almost like I was razor cutting but just doing it with the scissor.
25:11 And then coming a little bit deeper into the interior of it.
25:17 And really just kind of doing the same process over and over again until I feel like I've got the kind of density through the edges of the haircut that I want.
25:30 And again, not really paying so much attention to is it a perfect connection through there.
25:35 Because I don't think that--her hair is so thick that even if we cut it like a line or something, it would just be so blunt and dense through the bottom.
25:47 I don't think it would be very flattering.
25:50 So finding those little pieces that are kind of inside of it and just removing the bulk.
26:04 So I don't like when people are like visually cutting because I think all haircutting is visual because I'm looking at what I'm doing.
26:10 But I'm not so much grabbing a guide and picking it up versus kind of feeling the hair.
26:19 [silence]
26:38 So just working vertical, kind of diagonal back sections and bringing it straight out from the head.
26:45 Finding those little pieces on the inside that I want to use as a guide.
26:50 And then just slide cutting out.
26:53 Erin asked, "So this is more of instinctual cutting?"
26:57 Yeah, yeah. It definitely is like me looking at every kind of panel as its own individual thing.
27:06 As opposed to trying to connect it from one to the other.
27:10 [silence]
27:32 Can you turn?
27:34 [silence]
27:37 You know I think sometimes with stuff like this people are like, "Well how are you going to recreate it if you're not following a guide?"
27:44 And I think that with that what you're going to do is you're going to feel the next time she comes in the differences in those lengths.
27:53 And you're going to make adjustments to how far up you go.
27:57 Maybe you just kind of do this down closer to the ends and you allow some of it to catch up to the interior.
28:04 Again, it's more of like just kind of listening to what the hair is telling me and kind of seeing how it's following.
28:10 As opposed to following like a strict guideline every time.
28:15 [silence]
28:25 Really fun way to cut hair and I think like a kind of point of difference for you in the salon.
28:33 If you're kind of operating in these ways.
28:37 When appropriate. Again, I don't think this is like, you don't do this on everybody.
28:42 [silence]
28:46 You know some people you do this on you're going to scalp them essentially.
28:49 [silence]
29:13 That's all through side one. So you can see you get this really nice like kind of flow of length.
29:19 [silence]
29:21 And once we get some product in it and kind of knock down some of this kind of frizz, then I think it'll be really nice.
29:28 [silence]
29:49 So same thing on the opposite side.
29:52 Just looking at it different. There's the kind of length that I saw. So just coming at it from different hand position basically.
29:59 [silence]
30:28 [silence]
30:56 Got any questions?
30:58 [silence]
31:04 So as I'm sliding here guys, I'm not just like running the scissor down the hair shaft.
31:08 I am closing as I'm working my way out.
31:11 [silence]
31:34 Down here.
31:36 [silence]
32:05 [silence]
32:26 So I'm just going to spray it down a bit because I'm going to apply the product when the hair is wet.
32:32 [silence]
32:58 How's it going?
33:00 [silence]
33:07 So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to use this big kind of wide tooth comb here and section the hair a little bit at a time.
33:14 And that's how I'm going to apply the product instead of kind of just putting it in my hand and then working it through.
33:20 Just again because of the amount of hair.
33:24 [silence]
33:26 Want to make sure that I get a good saturation.
33:28 [silence]
33:30 So just a little bit at a time.
33:32 So using the curl cream.
33:34 [silence]
33:49 And then I'm going to kind of set it as I'm applying.
33:55 So I'm working kind of two ways at once here.
33:58 I'm just twisting kind of opposite directions.
34:02 I'm not being like, I don't know, I don't have to do everyone exactly the same.
34:06 Just kind of giving it an overall kind of shape.
34:13 So kind of rolling one backwards and one forward.
34:16 [silence]
34:23 Sarah asked if you prepped your hair with any product before you began cutting.
34:26 Yeah, I used the Preva Prep and Protect spray.
34:29 [silence]
34:36 So I just used it as a bit of a cutting lotion and a detangler.
34:40 [silence]
35:09 [silence]
35:28 Clarissa said she loves all the texture work.
35:32 Yeah, me too. It's kind of my favorite thing right now.
35:34 It's like working on hair that's got texture and then like really bringing out texture in hair
35:41 that maybe they don't know that they have because of the weight in the hair
35:47 or just the way that they kind of style it.
35:51 I think a lot of times people have some really interesting things that they can do with it
35:54 and they just need to be kind of shown the right way either by kind of different techniques
35:58 or the right kind of product to use.
36:06 But I think that this kind of textured hair is a lot more interesting than really straight,
36:13 kind of overworked hair.
36:17 And that's just the way that the industry has moved as well
36:19 is that everybody wants really quick, kind of easy things to do.
36:27 And even though this is a bit of a process just going through and doing this,
36:29 this is a much faster process than if we were to try to blow dry her hair.
36:35 So there, you can kind of see the difference in the two sides.
36:37 So we've just got this one on this side a bit more contained.
36:40 Really just kind of got it twisted up and set into a way.
36:45 So if she were to diffuse it or let it air dry, then it'll just kind of do what it's going to do.
36:51 Same thing on the opposite side.
37:02 You know, with pretty minimal practice too, this is something that she could easily recreate.
37:09 I don't think that she would ever probably be able to flat wrap her hair
37:15 and then take an iron to it and make it really smooth.
37:21 I could just because I'm standing above it and I can have access and control to each individual section.
37:28 So trying to give people something that they can do easily on their own.
37:36 And it's not even necessary to really go through and kind of section it off like this.
37:40 She could just apply the product to her hair and then just kind of randomly grab pieces and give them a bit of a twist.
37:49 And then you're just going to get a slightly kind of variation of what we're doing.
37:55 You know, the size of the sections, if I were to take a bunch of really small ones and twist it,
38:00 then you're going to get a different look that way.
38:03 You could do like two to three big ones. So all kinds of options.
38:10 [silence]
