Hi everyone! it's April. I'm here with my friend Melissa
we're going to do an Asymmetric A-line this is going to be really
short around the ear on one side then a regular a-line on the other side
and it's going to have a really run textured ***
and really short in the back you are going to need a good pair of shears
a razor, you are going to need some thinning shears and I have these chunky
texture shears also they are really fun
then I have a T-edge trimmers and this will be to clean up
her neck and then several clips and a wide tooth comb
and you're going to start by combing the hair
and you will part it off in 4 sections and we'll also have a *** section
so you will do a triangle i'll do that first
right in the middle of both eyes
go ahead and bring diagonal sections up and it should make a triangle
and then we'll clip this away
you're going to go straight back and go all the way back to the back of the head
and her hair is already pretty short so i'm combing it away
and then we're going to take
right on the top of her head where the comb hits
that's how you know you are at the tip
right at the top you are going to take
a down section horizontal section down from the top of her head to the back
of her ear
so those are going to be the sections were gonna work with
you can clip them up to keep them clean and out of the way
alright so to decide what
way we're having all this hair go to
we just have to decide which way she parts her hair she parts her hair on this side
going to the right. right??
it goes to the right. Okay i had to make sure I couldn't remember so this *** will be
this way alright so the left side is going to be the short side and the right will be the long side
I'll start in the back and i'm going to take
two more sections just because her hair is already really short
just below where the comb leaves the head
right there I'm going to take that
just comb it down i'm going to put this up in a clip
and the same on the other side these are diagonal sections
so it should be like a triangle shape on the bottom
so i'm going to work on this back section first i'm going to go ahead and grab my razor
look down for me i'm going to razor out
this hair as short as we can get it right where it starts to grow
and you do this by
holding good tension there then slowly
walking the razor
slowly pushing the razor down in a soft motion
that we'll take care of chopping it off for you but it keeps it really soft
if you want a really hard line you would go in with the shears
but I want it to stay soft and blended
okay and then I just have a guard on my
I have a really good guard on my razor so I can go through and
shave the back of her neck and I'll probably go with the T-edgers after
when it's all dry to get the little ones that it missed but just to clean it up for now
alright so that's the length on the bottom
we're gonna go ahead and take one inch sections
and we are elevating this out 90 degrees from the head
and i'll take my razor and go right behind my
fingers and slowly
shave it down so it's nice and tight
I will go all the way across the head doing this
in this back section and this is taking out all the heaviness and weight right there
it's going to be really tight
now that we have the back
as short as we want it one more little piece here
we are going to let these two sections down if we were doing a regular a-line
we would be
taking these two sections and doing both of them as a diagonal
this sides going to be a lot shorter part it down the middle
I'll start working with the side thats going to be the a-line
so i'll comb this over
so I can keep it away and i'll work on this side
grab your shears and i'm going to take
diagonal sections
and I cut this already so that will be my guide
I'm going to take maybe an inch above
where we cut and i'm going to comb this up
and away because it's too short for a clip
combing up the opposite direction of the part will keep it clean enough
to where you can
work still if that makes you nervous you can still clip it up
i'm not going to alright so we will take this hair up
now we're going to follow the
diagonal parting that we just made
and we'll keep the hair really tight to the head
keep your fingers right against the head and point cut and just cut along
this line so it's going to be perpendicular
to go back and check it
make sure you didn't get any long hairs
you can really quick pull it up and make sure that you have that same
angle that the part is at
then i'm going to take another section another inch down
do the same thing and i'm going to hold my hands at the same spot
i'm over directing the hair to that same spot
all right and then the rest it i'll pull it all down
see if it meets up with it
it does if you are dealing with really long hair
you can take it in two more sections
but i'm not
make sure you can see your guide
okay so that side in the back is cut
we have this nice shape coming this way
now we're going to meet up with this one and keep it
at an angle that's more straight across
the weight line for this one is going to end up being right here so this weight line needs to
flow back over into this and so this is going to be short underneath
i'm going to section it off so it's a little bit easier to see what i'm doing.
and you notice I took more of a straight section
because that's the line we are going to be cutting on this side
now i'm going to pull it up
and meet it up to this other side of the A-line right here you can see the guide
that's the end of this side where it starts for the A-line pull it straight up to that
and point cut following
this parting and remember we pulled that parting. we are straight
instead of angled
so just keep doing that
i'm combing this hair up because there are some longer hairs from her older A-line haircut
i'm going to go back in and fix those but I want to make sure that I get all of them
into this weight line shape for
the parting that we just took
i'm going to go back through and make sure it all matches up
deep point cutting
okay
and then take down another section
you should be able to see the guide underneath from your last section on this one
If you can't then you took too much hair
just part it off a little bit thinner so you can see it
that last little bit pull that triangle down too
not very much of that will probably meet up
so just cleaning it up to make sure you don't have any
long pieces hanging over
there you have it okay so this is a little bit of a corner left over from
her other a line
so you can do two things with this you can leave it and have a fun little
wispy down here with fun texture
or you can chop it off because I
might want to keep it I'm just gonna leave a little bit of it right down there
for fun now and then when it's dry if I decide it looks funny I can chop it off
for now it could be really cute it could be her little tail
so we are going to keep that there i'm going to take a diagonal forward
section right here then comb all this back
so all of this
is going to be meeting up with her fringe
then have lots of really fun, long
chunky pieces coming around her face then it'll be a little bit shorter
up around her ear. i'm going to use the razor
just to get most of the length off
i'm going to go in and chip away at it
i'm going to take my scissors
and i'm going to let
the hair fall and cut
some deep point cuts be really careful around the ear with this
make sure you are not cutting any
of their face or ear
and i'll notch out the texture for her ear
you can put your hand underneath if you are nervous
okay so then this little piece in the back that was really long i'm going to blend
that into the hair that I cut right here and you can see it's hanging like a half of an inch
over her ear
I might clean that up with the razor later but I do want to leave the length
so that I can have more room to play with the texture
I'm going to pull this over
and blend the two sections together
that takes care of that really long tail that we had
but we still have
this little chunk right here thats long I like that so we're gonna leave that for now
alright so that's the ear
we're gonna going to go over here and stick the scissors in like this
the shears and walk out some chunks
When I say walk with the scissors I mean barely opening
and closing like that
that gives you a really fun texture you can see it
it's all around
that is really fun
I'm going to take the razor and texture this piece out a little bit more it's a little bit thick still
alright if you drop your comb
get a new one because you're not supposed to put dirty combs on peoples heads
of course get a new clean comb alright
so that shape
right around there it kind of comes to a point here
and now we're gonna take down the rest of this hair
so go ahead and take one last parting
we're going to follow around this guide that we have right here
i'll bring this up to it and point cut it out
so I can see this short part right here
that's where I want it to meet up with I want it to go around her head
okay let's chop it off to get some of the length off
alright so now i'm going to go in and do some round layering around the edge
so what we're going to do is take off this point
i'm going to start just behind the ear
i'm going to take this up and blend it into this
the weight line that we have from the other section from pulling it
straight-out
so we're going to just go ahead and round it up with the head
i'm going to point cut
there we go do that all the way across
to the front end
alright
so there is the short side we're going to go to the other side now
and to the a line in the front
if you remember we have this angle established already
none of this hair should meet back here because
I've already had her hair in a haircut but
in an a line haircut
since you guys might not have that with your clients
I'm gonna show you what you should do: so
you already have this section all cut so you'll take the next
section up from this one and bring it back
to the same guide that you established before that's at this angle
you'll be able to see it and you will point cut
and go all the way down and point cut
all of this hair will eventually go back and be over directed to that back section
and cut it and then that should take care of your front section
alright so now for the fringe we are going to let this down
and all this is going to be coming so now all this will be coming forward and over
let's do it like this
there we go okay so we already have this
area that we've already cut we will take it and
we will blend in that short piece to the long piece
there's a couple ways to do this you can come on the opposite side
and pull it back over and this is the way i'm going to do it. so this section
is just up here this little triangle that we took
you're gonna find the shortest piece and go a little bit longer than that
you don't want to cut it quite that short
and you're just gonna take the scissors and slide it down to cut the longer piece
and then that should just blend it on over now the basic haircut is done
there is a lot of texturing I want to do with this
I want to give her a little bit of
spiky texture over here I'm gonna take this section up here and
curve it over and you can see the guide
so this is stretched over from where it would be the a line
i'm taking this top section over here and stretching it over this way
and point cutting into it to match it up to the shorter piece
so you are going to take pie shaped sections on the top
it's like a triangle you bring it over here
make sure that it matches that do another one
there we go
last one right here
K so that should give you some layers from this short piece over
on top I'm gonna go ahead and
take thinning shears since it's still wet and thin this out because I can tell right now it's
way bulky theres tons of weight in it we want it to be really
soft and there's another comb that's two combs!
there we go number 3. I have a pile of fresh combs
back there because I really do drop my combs a lot
i'm going to take the thinning shears and try to remove some of this heaviness
right around her face we want this to lay down and be soft
and around her ear
this is that section I was talking about that was left over from the a line
I think I am going to take some of it out
to shape it in a little bit just take the razor in and knock it out
there we go
and the thinning shears i'm going to take the thinning shears to this little section
right here too
she have tons of hair
and then along this weight line in the back here too
just to
take some of that heaviness out
i'm going to dry this now and flat iron it and i'll do some more
cutting this is just some root pump the big sexy hair makes it
oh my gosh spray it across the room
Just a little bit in the crown area
i'm blowdrying this forward all of this will be coming forward
this will be round brushed out
this side i'm blowing up in the mohawk section just to get the body in the crown
loving this fun texture we have around her face
I am going to chip away at this some more
just to blend it in a little bit more so it's not hanging there
and maybe just a little bit of texture through this
you can see in the back
it has this really fun shape it swoops over and it has a hollow
area here and then lots of thickness around here
it's a really fun shape back there
i'm going to flat iron it and we'll see how much texture we need to do
she has a little bit of curl in her hair
that's why i'm flat ironing it
if you have somebody with really straight hair you don't need to flat iron it
to do the texture I want to make sure I know where I'm getting
the texture out and she will be styling it with a flat iron
I need it to be straight this is a disconnect here
because we have this short section here that came in and then the bangs
are blending it in
I want to see a little bit more texture right here
so I"m going to take the razor
and put some more texture so I she can get some more height
so it blends in a little bit more it still is a good disconnect
Just from what i'm looking at I think that's what it needs
also in the bangs and we can do this with the shears too
i'll show you a couple techniques this is channel cutting
where you cut out a channel
stick them right in there you are slowly opening and closing the shears
like this
you're keeping that one blade
stationary so it's not cutting the rest of the hair underneath
it doesn't poke them in the head if you do it that way
I'm gonna lift up this crown area and just it's really dense
I'm just gonna deep point cut in
you can fan it out with your knuckle if you just shove your knuckle in like that
i'll take this section and
so some of that really deep point cutting also
now i'm going to do some twist cutting this is really run
take the little pieces right here
you twist them up and take the shears and walk up
that gives you some really fun texture
and I will thin that because it's still too dense
there we go see how much softer that is
you can see through it
I want this to be a little bit more tight around her ear
I will take the thinning shears up
just texturize it and then
if it's still too thick you can take the razor and cut out a little bit more
that's better
that gives it more of an angle in towards her face this way a better shape
shear over comb texturizing a little bit more
this way
lots and lots of hair it's really thick in here too
i'll take my shears
do a little bit more channel cutting right in here
so just to get some of the loose hair out i'm going to blow dry it again
then to style this
we're going to use a pomade
maybe we'll use Redkin today this is the rewind
from Redkin fun stuff
it's a really soft pomade it's moveable but it does give you some piece
keeps the texture really soft and pliable
let see I like working it around the face with this stuff
there's that really long piece I like it
i'm not going to cut it off because I think it's fun to have some personality in there
there is a little bit right here in the back
but it's cute so i'm going to leave it
I put it on my hands and work it through the hair
alright you guys that is our asymmetric haircut-/ one side pixie one side a line
it's really fun and popular right now Kind of looks like the girl on wreck it ralph
she's not blond if she was blond she'd totally be rocking the wreck it ralph hair
and she smokin hot so watch out guys and i'm going to shoot it with some big sexy hair spray
to hold it in place
because that rewind is not super sticky like i said it's softer
so once you get your hair where you do like it you probably do need to shoot it with some hairspray
this is one of the 3 series haircuts we are going to do on her
the next one is going to be a really fun mohawk
we are going to grow for like 6 weeks then we'll be back to show you that haircut
i'm really excited because in a couple days i'm going to be shooting
a video with a shear guy and he's going to tell us
all the things we need to know about shears and how to take care of them
i've been getting a lot of questions about
my thinning shears and all that stuff and we will take care of all those questions
in the next video so make sure you tune in for that subscribe to my videos and
make sure you give us a thumbs up
and share this with your friends and we will see you guys next time thanks
bye
