1 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,125 Hello, my name's Rachel Price. 2 00:00:11,125 --> 00:00:14,750 And today I'm going to do a demonstration on a one length haircut. 3 00:00:15,541 --> 00:00:19,875 So before your client comes in to have this treatment done in the salon, 4 00:00:20,666 --> 00:00:23,583 we would carry out a consultation with the client. 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,416 So you would identify different factors with her that kind of could influence that haircut. 6 00:00:28,458 --> 00:00:32,625 So that could be things like the hair texture could be the hair type. 7 00:00:32,875 --> 00:00:37,083 You'd want to consider any growth patterns that the client possibly may have. 8 00:00:37,083 --> 00:00:41,000 Once you've done a good consultation with the client. 9 00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:44,750 You would then obviously prepare the hair ready for the haircut. 10 00:00:45,208 --> 00:00:47,833 So we've shampooed the client's hair, 11 00:00:47,833 --> 00:00:51,333 and once we're ready to go, we would kind of put the hair into sections. 12 00:00:51,666 --> 00:00:54,916 And with these sections, it's a classic hot cross buns sections 13 00:00:54,916 --> 00:00:58,125 where you would do a center parting all the way from the front hairline, 14 00:00:58,416 --> 00:01:02,333 continuing all the way down to the nape, and then you would do 15 00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:05,416 a section from the top of the head to the back of the ear. 16 00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:07,958 And this is where the hair's natural fall is. 17 00:01:07,958 --> 00:01:10,500 So obviously, the hair from behind the ear comes to the back 18 00:01:10,833 --> 00:01:13,625 and then the hair in the ear would come to the front. 19 00:01:14,458 --> 00:01:17,125 So once you're happy that you've got your sections 20 00:01:17,125 --> 00:01:20,833 and they're clean, straight lines, you can kind of begin to do your hair cut. 21 00:01:23,916 --> 00:01:26,708 Sometimes when we're working on clients, who've got longer length hair. 22 00:01:27,041 --> 00:01:30,541 It is good to be using a cutting stool because this will kind of 23 00:01:30,541 --> 00:01:31,500 allow you to cut the hair 24 00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:34,583 and to be at the correct eye level so you can get an accurate cut. 25 00:01:35,625 --> 00:01:37,875 Once you've got your clean sections in place, 26 00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:41,375 you want to make sure that the hair is kept damp throughout. 27 00:01:41,375 --> 00:01:43,916 So you've got the same even moisture. 28 00:01:44,291 --> 00:01:46,416 So you get a good even haircut through. 29 00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:50,041 The cutting angle that we're going to be working on 30 00:01:50,041 --> 00:01:52,750 with a one length is a zero degree angle. 31 00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:56,666 And when you're doing this cut, you could work on using a club 32 00:01:56,666 --> 00:02:00,666 cutting technique, which is the basic cut where you're going to be removing length. 33 00:02:00,958 --> 00:02:04,833 Or you could use a free hand technique where you work against the comb. 34 00:02:06,083 --> 00:02:08,041 When we're working on a training head. 35 00:02:08,041 --> 00:02:10,000 It's difficult to do the free hand technique 36 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,291 because you don't have any back or shoulders to work 37 00:02:12,291 --> 00:02:14,375 on, so we're going to stick with the club cut today. 38 00:02:15,583 --> 00:02:18,208 So again, in your consultation you would have identified exactly 39 00:02:18,208 --> 00:02:20,416 how much you want to take off. 40 00:02:20,416 --> 00:02:22,875 We're going to look to take two inches off the hair today. 41 00:02:23,416 --> 00:02:25,458 I'm just going to damp that back down. 42 00:02:26,125 --> 00:02:30,000 So to start with I'm going to make sure that the position of my head 43 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,375 is very slightly forward at a slight angle. 44 00:02:32,833 --> 00:02:35,875 Again, you can just kind of put your hand on the head and put the head forward, 45 00:02:36,541 --> 00:02:39,041 and then we're going to create our first guide 46 00:02:39,541 --> 00:02:41,583 through the center of our back section 47 00:02:41,583 --> 00:02:43,541 and then we're going to kind of work towards the right 48 00:02:43,541 --> 00:02:45,958 and then we're going to work towards the left. 49 00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:47,166 So when we're sectioning 50 00:02:47,166 --> 00:02:50,125 we always use the wide part of the comb to do the sectioning. 51 00:02:50,416 --> 00:02:54,125 And then when we're cutting, we're always going to use the fine tooth of the comb. 52 00:02:54,666 --> 00:02:58,250 Again, this can be adapted if you're working on clients with coarser, 53 00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:01,750 textured hair or curly hair where you want to release tension. 54 00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:03,791 But today we're going to use the fine part. 55 00:03:05,083 --> 00:03:06,166 So I'm going to 56 00:03:06,166 --> 00:03:09,916 comb this section straight down and keeping my section 57 00:03:09,916 --> 00:03:13,666 as close to the training head and my stand as possible. 58 00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:17,750 Again, remember when we're cutting try not to elevate it towards yourself 59 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:20,708 because this is where you're going to create graduation on the hair 60 00:03:20,708 --> 00:03:23,541 and we want to create a solid form haircuts. 61 00:03:23,541 --> 00:03:25,750 I'm going to bring my section down. 62 00:03:26,250 --> 00:03:28,875 When I'm ready to cut I'm going to place my comb in my thumb 63 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:32,833 and then I'm going to put my first guide in. 64 00:03:32,833 --> 00:03:36,333 Always remember, only try and work in that part of your fingers. 65 00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:40,625 So you're not going to be cutting too down there, so you're not going to cut yourself. 66 00:03:42,041 --> 00:03:44,958 We're going to bring our next section down. 67 00:03:47,041 --> 00:03:50,750 I'm going to continue that guideline and then my next section. 68 00:03:53,125 --> 00:03:55,416 It's really important when you working on the back 69 00:03:55,958 --> 00:03:59,666 that you keep your position always in this angle with the client and try and avoid 70 00:03:59,666 --> 00:04:03,250 coming down to the side because sometimes if you come round to the side, you're 71 00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:06,375 naturally going to create a curvature, which is what we don't want to do. 72 00:04:06,625 --> 00:04:10,833 So always try and make sure that you're positioning yourself always at the back 73 00:04:11,791 --> 00:04:14,666 and then we're going to do the same on this left side 74 00:04:21,125 --> 00:04:21,666 . OK. 75 00:04:21,666 --> 00:04:24,625 When you're happy with that section, we're going to check that we're level. 76 00:04:24,916 --> 00:04:28,666 So to do that, you can use your fingers and you can feel down 77 00:04:28,666 --> 00:04:31,833 the sides of the hair to make sure that you're happy that we're level there. 78 00:04:32,375 --> 00:04:36,000 We can do this visually and we can also do this 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,041 by using it against our comb. OK. 80 00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:45,666 And then we're going to complete this for our next section, 81 00:04:45,666 --> 00:04:49,250 taking half inch sections all the way to the top of the head. 82 00:04:50,125 --> 00:04:52,708 Again, be mindful of the different hairs 83 00:04:52,708 --> 00:04:55,875 that you're working on so finer texture hair 84 00:04:56,958 --> 00:05:00,458 you can afford to take a good section coming down. 85 00:05:00,458 --> 00:05:01,833 But again, if the hair's thick. 86 00:05:01,833 --> 00:05:04,166 Maybe it's like coarse or curly. 87 00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:08,291 Just be mindful that you can see that guideline each time you take that section 88 00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:11,458 and work on clean sections throughout the cut. 89 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,583 And then we're going to continue the same on this side. 90 00:05:18,041 --> 00:05:21,250 Again, I always work on a slight diagonal to remove the length. 91 00:05:21,791 --> 00:05:24,458 But you can work on horizontal sections 92 00:05:24,458 --> 00:05:26,666 if that's how you prefer to work. 93 00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:39,000 OK, just make sure that that position at the head is where you want it to be 94 00:05:39,541 --> 00:05:42,916 and before I start cutting I'm just going to check that 95 00:05:42,916 --> 00:05:45,625 that water level is even throughout. 96 00:05:47,916 --> 00:05:49,416 So now we're going to follow that guideline. 97 00:05:49,416 --> 00:05:52,708 So the same process that we did on that first section. 98 00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:56,541 I'm just going to work from my first section in the middle. 99 00:05:57,833 --> 00:06:01,375 I'm going to bring my fingers down so I can clearly see that guideline. 100 00:06:01,666 --> 00:06:04,416 And then I'm going to trace that section over. 101 00:06:05,916 --> 00:06:08,250 Continuing that solid line throughout. 102 00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:28,291 Once you've done that on the one side, 103 00:06:28,291 --> 00:06:30,750 I'm just going to continue on this side. 104 00:06:40,125 --> 00:06:43,583 And once again, we're just going check that we're level, and that we're balanced. 105 00:06:43,583 --> 00:06:45,583 So again, I'm going to do the same process 106 00:06:45,583 --> 00:06:48,166 by working down my fingers down both sides. 107 00:06:48,916 --> 00:06:51,375 And I'm just going to use my comb 108 00:06:51,375 --> 00:06:53,625 just to check that we are even. 109 00:06:55,458 --> 00:06:56,958 And then once we're happy with that. 110 00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,208 We're going to continue doing the same process 111 00:06:59,791 --> 00:07:02,583 all the way up to the top of the head, so continue 112 00:07:02,583 --> 00:07:06,375 doing half inch sections using the wide part of the comb. 113 00:07:06,375 --> 00:07:09,583 Again keep those sections clean 114 00:07:09,583 --> 00:07:12,791 and even throughout, so you can see that previous guide.
