Awesome Intro... Hair 101
Basic Boys Haircut
We're going to do a boys haircut. We're going to try and leave a little bit more length on the
top and have the sides
at a number three
so you're going to want to have a cape or some kind of protection. maybe a plastic
bag if you don't have a cape
your going to need Clippers, an attachment
this is a 3/8 inch
they just pop on like that. I'm going to have it closed so it's shorter.
a comb, thinning shears,
these will make a huge difference in your haircuts
especially if you're not professional if you're just starting out these will fix
a lot of the
little mistakes that you'll have. T edgers
to do around the ears and the neck and just a pair of
good shears, cutting shears
K so we're going to go ahead and start with the clippers. we're gonna go. LOOK DOWN HUNTER!
We're going to start right in the back and taper it up just a little
k look straight
so what you are doing is flipping the clipper up when you get to the spot that you want to
start blending it
then we're going to go right up here by the ear, straight up to about
just at the eyebrow length
just flip it right there
pull the ear, so you're not gonna scratch
their little ear. we don't want to hurt them
then hear just fold the ear this way.and cross your hand over
just the same thing just flip it up, if you're doing it with a little kid.
you can give them a little dumb dumb sucker.
iPhone or something to get them to calm down
to have them not wiggling to much
so we're going to do this other side. LOOK DOWN AGAIN.
k straight
K same thing we are going to fold the ear over
this already looks a lot better ha Hunt no more hairy ears
alright, one more time on the bend in the ear there we go
okay so the bottom part is done.we're going to go ahead
and do the perimeter now what's a perimeter?
this is the perimeter right here
it goes all the way around your head. it's where your hair starts to grow.
so we're going to take the T edgers and start the comb in the back. LOOK DOWN
we're going to cut straight down. we don't want to cut into where the natural hair pattern grows
So find that if you're going to do a straight line
you find their the highest spot
you go straight from there. If you're going to do a curve
And you would just kind of go like that
I usually do straight because curvy looks feminine to me
i'm gonna go right in there
K
right where the natural hair starts to grow
then
just go up this way
k look down
you might have to go
over it a few times. little boys have lots of fuzzies all over their neck
nice and straight we're going to go over to the side here.
and do the rest of the square LOOK DOWN AGAIN
There you go
and then
just follow that line
just a little bit
in the ear
And now I'm going to switch over to the side burn. Look straight
We're going to do it right about there
and then fold the ear down
there we go
If you have any long pieces that are hanging over you can take the comb and flip it like that
Just go ahead and knock those off
With T edgers
same with this side right here you can blend it in
okay that looks nice
same with the front
The perimeter on the front, you can lift it up or pull it down and knock off that point
okay other side. ....LOOK STRAIGHT....
flip it up. there we go
tilt the comb away from the head
like that so your just getting the very edge
ok, so now our perimeter is done
we're gonna
take the spray bottle and spray the rest of the hair
then
you're going to take your shears and your comb
comb through the hair to make sure there's no sticky stuff
all the syrup from breakfast
did you eat pancakes today??
ah yummy. ok i like
to comb all the hair just to get it saturated
Okay we're going to start on the right side by the right eye
we're going to comb this forward
and then back to make a little bit of a piece right there. ok so
we have our guide at the bottom
this is where the Clippers were cutting that's where they stopped
so we're gonna cut from there up and don't cut past your first knuckle
You might need to take two little sections to get that
then we're going to move back a little bit
pull the next section up. cut from your guide straight up
to the next section
look down hunter. there you go. that's better
there's the guide. just cut right up there.
keep walking around head as you go make sure you're always
in front of your work
I cross check the hair i cut. i pull it forward to check it
and then pull it backwards
make sure you get everything lying down in different directions
that looks pretty blended in there.
if you see any big lines you can take your
shears and just knock them out
or you can take these awesome thinning shears, these are awesome
cause they are really forgiving for haircuts so you can take these if you see any dark spots
like heavy lines where you were'nt able to blend it very well take these blending shears
and just go along and chop away a little bit
have some fun make sure you don't go crazy with them
they do help a lot ok that looks good on that side so i'm going to go around and do the same thing on all the sides
if you miss any go back in there and grab them
okay thats good
alright, when you feel like you've got the edges blended pretty well.
you're going to move to the top. So
i'm going to show you how to do
do you want a mohawk hunt?
I'll show you how to do a mohawk then I'll cut it off because he doesn't want it like that
What you're going to do is comb the hair into a mohawk
If you were doing a mohawk where you wanted a gradual blend, that's really in right now
r you wouldn't even need to cut on this specific haircut
pacificare you and even really need a couple minutes after maybe just 13
right there just even a mohawk arm
me you would be doing right now would be taking
and planning from this longest point all the way to the shortest playing
and you just take a little bit right there and do that section on my back but
he doesn't want a mohawk
I'll show you that later.. i guess on Zade
we're just going to do a regular boys haircut this boy
you're going to pull it straight up I'm going to chop it, cause You want to wear it spiky right Hunter??
um....... You like your hair spikey??
So I'm going to go in like this and just point cut. Now you don't want to go past your first kuckle
just gonna wanna
this just gives it a little bit more texture
so it's not straight lines
you're just making little "V"'s
you're going to try to keep it all the same length. start with your guide
have the tips your fingers holding the spot that you wanna match
and then go to the second knuckle
never cut past the second knuckle
you'll cut yourself it will be a big GASH in your hand
okay, then the same back here
if you switch to the other side you can go from the guide in the back
point cut UP
eventually you'll be able to see both sides of the guide
okay make sure you've gone all the way down to the bottom
okay so you have the middle length
established. you just need to match the middle length and the side length
say you're gonna start on the right side here. Pull the hair straight up
by the face and then point cut again
match those two
you should have short long,short you're just gonna
cut off the long part and match the two short parts........... there we go........
so point cutting can be kinda scary at first cause you feel like you're going to cut your finger
as you cut you should be pulling back a little bit
so you're not
chopping into your finger you're pulling away
just check it. go back and forth a few times just
when you come forward if you see these lines
those are long spots so you need to go back through there
and i'll show you how to cross check it too
at you're cutting choppy like this there's gonna be some of that
that's kinda what you want to give it texture
so we are going to go to this side now.... same thing
short/long/short just cut off the long part
point cut it all the way back
you getting hair in your mouth Hunt??
on my nose! oh dear :) let's fix that.... there we go.
.....
long spot right there we gotta get that outta there
so this section you're more just doing
to your first knuckle... and then for the second half of this section you're going to come around to the front of
them
if you're right-handed. if you're left-handed it would be that side
on this left side you need to just pull it up
and knock off that little peak that
you're going to have because of the curve of the head
right there you see it?
there we go... just do that all the way to the back of the head. point cutting
okay so now this is the point on the front of the head that we are going to point cut around
so just comb it all forward
and
take off some of the length... PUT YOUR HEAD UP!
okay so i'm going to go in and just point cut this out
okay and now we're going to cross check it
okay let see
so this is a long spot what you do is we've been cutting this way
so we're gonna take sections this way just to make sure we don't have any long spots
and OH LOOK! there's a big long spot
so we're going to point cut that......
and then there's another little long spot
doesn't have to be perfect because you want it to kind of be
textured for the spiking
you don't want any really long spots.... Hunter look up. there you go
So cross-check it around and make sure you have
it's starting to dry out i'm just going to squirt it down a little bit
that's probably why you're getting all those little hairs on your face cause it dried out
there we go
ok,.....
so just cross-checking you're going to go make sure there's no long spots
okay so after you've done that and you've made sure
that you're pretty much even... if you want you can go through this
if there's any heavy spots that look thick or
a little bit too long or a hard-line
can take these thinning shears and you can just go over it and it blends it right in
you can also go through the top with these just on the TIPS
and do some texture through the top
this is really good for Cowlicks. if you have cowlicks you can just tame
them down with the thinning shears... and that's it
K Hunter. You want me to spike it and put some gel in it now?? NO! you want to do it down? Ya!
i'm going to spike it cause it's my show okay?? :)
so you'll want to wash it. give them a bath or a shower
we're not going to do that cause Hunter doesn't want a bath. right Hunter???? we'll just spike it
alright Hunter you're done
give you one little brush off with the towel from all that hair
and then we'll do a spin
K
