After watching so many hair videos I stumbled across yours. You made everything so less complicated. I can't thank you enough! I am now a steady fan. I actually told my hair stylist about you, who owns 3 salons, and he even heard about you from someone else. Please don't change the way you teach. Thank you. Alana

Lovely to have coffee with you, James. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I've been doing this for some time now and thought I was maybe cheating or being lazy lol its almost validating for me to watch you do this. With longer hair you don't need all those tiny sections. Thank you for this video, I loved it ❤

I do too!! Ever since I finished my training where I am from, I prefered to get the length out of the way and focus on the fine details. Doesn't cost me any more time than my colleagues who have different haircut styles, but it always felt more right to me haha. Saw this teq at some Aussie KZreadr on a full haircut tutorial they did and I was like, yeah I'm going to do it like that haha

Love this technique thanks so much!

James Wonderful! I'm looking forward to trying this when we are released back to the " wolves" 🤣 your absolutely correct about taking tiny sections because that's the way we were taught. At the end of the day as long as the end result looks Amazing and we have happy clients then we've achieved our goal👍 loved your reference to no " magic tricks " your also psychic as well then 🔮😜🤣 can't wait for Wednesday now James and then Thursday night clapping for our front liners 👍 who'd have thought so much to look forward to 🤣 stay well and thanks a bunch 🙏👍😊

Thank you so much for these tips. I watched this video today and understood what was wrong with my technique. I tried it on a friend just today and I had much better results (the results I and she wanted!!). I am not a professional at all but it's so satisfying cutting my own hair. Professionals like you who share their knowledge on KZread proves how important sharing is important, and it does not make less clients. I will never be a professional but it helps me a lot. And I'm way more eager to go back to salons to get my short curly bob to get it done right! Thanks 😊💇🏽‍♀️

Thank you so much for tips and tricks! It will save me so much time! It will be quite handy when working in salon that is treated like a factory - clients in and out. This will make my life less stressful now. MORE VIDEOS like this (quickness) will be highly appreciated x

Hello James,this is a great haircut ,thank you so much. Every hair cuts you are doing is wonderful and well explained. I would like to tell you that, I have always wanted to learn this 10minutes Layered haircuts the same time I wanted my 10 minutes hair cut layered Turns out as accurate as yours 10 minute hair cut. I have watched this video Many times,unfortunately it isn't clear for me ,how would I start my hair cut ? You already had your short hair pieces in the front ,were those short hair pieces were Your guideline or you made a new guideline. I would appreciate it if you explain to me about the guideline. Appreciate all of your wonderful classes, they are all well done.😊🌺🌸

And now I can try this on my own hair. I like how you give reasons as to why you are making a cut. It is also helpful that you explain terms like 'high point' and using the comb to find this on top of the head, 'centre profile'. Clear, concise and applicable. Have you got any videos on what scissors to use please? Thank you.

@@TheLifeOfHair Happy New Year! Thank you. I only have a pair of scissors that are hairdressing with matching comb. The blades are about 4 inches. I am very much a beginner. It would be helpful to learn which scissors and combs or any other tools are useful for a beginner and also for different hair types. Mum and I have a lot of very fine hair. Mum's takes ages to cut because she has lots of wavy springy hair below the ear lobe. I would love to cut it in the style of the curly dark haired main girl in the Wham video Last Christmas sort of relaxed Pixie or very short Bob?? Wheareas I would also need to know if I could use the same scissors or tools you recommend for my own hair which is very straight and below the shoulder. Again lots of hair but very fine.

@@TheLifeOfHair yes sir I believe so I kinda afraid to do it but I need to fix my bang area I tried to cut it just for long bangs like chin length and it's way to blunt Lord help me wish I was there near you really

When you can’t are you cutting in a straight line or are you cutting at an angle to create that concave shape

... when the Hair is really, really plain and thick... is ist ok to cut it in two or three sections?

this gives the same effect as extreme concave layering/ SLIDE cut layering. the problem i am getting with this : it gives very "airy/ fluffy" layers as if i layered the hair with a razor and it leaves the ends look thin and wispy which i can't really understand why , so using this technique forces me to cut the perimiter in the end of the layering, to avoid those wispy thin ends. i think 90 degrees layering leaves the ends fuller and gives more balanced bit havier shape. do you tend to use this technique alot in the salon? or you prefer the 90 degrees with traveling guide on long hair? thank you :)

@TheLifeOfHair

4 жыл бұрын

Great question yes I do use this technique a lot in the salon it’s one of my preferred methods in terms of long hair but I do do a variation on that as well where are use concave and over direct I know what you mean by creating a slightly fluffier texture towards the end I do tend to cut my layers in and then my length afterwards to avoid this

She wants layers that are on the shorter side. Its very thick and wavy/frizzy. I'm having a hard time visualizing how to do this this cut for her without sacrificing length.

If you want to retain the length but still layer the hair cutting with a very steep concave layer is what is required I haven’t done a video on that haircut yet but I could do one in a couple of Wednesdays time so keep your eyes peeled for that 😁👍🏻
