What's up guys welcome to another video today we are gonna focus on layering men's hair So what I want to do is go through the section with you guys first and then we're gonna get into the cut We're gonna do a basic layered square haircut for you So what I did was I separated from Prado Ridge all the way around creating a horseshoe section on top of the head And then I just went straight down vertical straight down center back and now I'm gonna work parallel to my body The whole way across so everything's gonna come straight out from the head But working the layering in that head shape So notice how my finger angle mimics the curve of the head as I work down I also start from the top and I work my way to the bottom That for me is just really determining how long do I want those layers to be within the interior of this cut? And then I work my way out to the outer perimeter now Don't worry as you go through this cut how long that outer perimeter is you can always cut that shorter But you really want to focus on how long do you want those layers to be? And again remember we're cutting square in the back or balanced like I like to call it Which is basically straight back from the head cutting a nice parallel line to your shoulders if you're staring at the back of the head So just make sure everything until you get to this point right here comes straight back off the head shape And you'll be good to go cutting that balance shape in the back That will also push a little bit of weight behind the ear which we'll cut into later as well Notice that my technique with the scissor is really kind of the scissor is at about 45 degree angle I'm point cutting each line That gives me a more textured effect So this is going to be a good look at our balance shape So notice the comb angle and how everything comes straight out to that There's no over direction if I over direct it's going to push weight in a certain area that I don't want it to be I want everything to fall nice and balanced throughout this cut So now difference here work into my right hand side my fingers are now pointed down I'm combing everything into that Previous section and just work my way across so same thing balance shape in the back Cutting that line we're gonna do the same thing here and then we're gonna move into the right hand side We're gonna do the same thing on that side as well You There you go you come everything gets pulled straight back until you get to that point right there where the hairline splits the head in half so just follow that hairline all the way up That's when you know to stop and then you're gonna move to the side and pull everything straight out and create your other balance section So now just to clean up the hairline I'm gonna use my favorite tool It's available on our shop shop at fsc.com check the link in the description It's just a hundred percent cutting side. There's a 50% carving side I just pinched the hair and I cut that perimeter length to what I want it to be now you could do that with scissors as well I just like the freedom of using that razor tool. It comes in two different sizes You got wide teeth and fine teeth to go check it out on our shop It's 39 bucks super cool tool to have in your toolbox So if you don't have one go pick it up Now we move into the front. I'm just gonna cut everything I'm gonna pull it to one side cut it point cut it then I'm gonna pull it over to the opposite side Pulling the guide from the bottom and I'm gonna point cut that what that's gonna do is give me my longest point in the very Center top what I love so much about this cut in the end result is that a guy can really wear this to whatever side he wants He just flips it back and it's very versatile super easy to style hair cut So I work my way through this the traveling guide as well So no over direction just coming straight up working the hair all the way to the one side and back all the way to the other side and that's it All right, so now we're gonna finish up with just a quick blow dry I really want to get in about 80% dry That's what I like to do with men's hair You don't have to dry it all the way But you don't want a ton of moisture in it because then the products won't have the hold throughout the day So I use Mitch clean cut from Paul Mitchell I put that in the hair it gives it nice hold It still gives it that kind of wet look we still utilize that texture that curl It's a super fun cut.
