My pleasure!!

Pleasure, glad it helped 😊

Practice makes better, so keep doing it👌🏻

Glad to hear it and a happy sister 😅

nice skillz

Could be a new trend, time to bring back the bowl I say!

If she spun 360 she would not be looking at you. Did you mean she spun a 180?

​@@lukeskydropperit's a joke/reference to the movie The Exorcist. Hope being a pedant is paying off tho

Glad it helped...well I hope it did😅

Great! Good job!

Fantastic! Well done! My pleasure

Fast forward 2024 and another happy princess here 🎉 thank you so much

I’m sure you would have passed the test😄

Pleasure! Glad you got a lot from it👍🏼

Great band indeed👌🏻👌🏻 thanks 💁🏻‍♂️

Yurk shamerrrrrsh

Thank you

Great, let me know how it goes! Send pics on insta @bloc.hair 👌🏻

Great, exactly what it’s there for! Helping people through lockdown. Keeping hair healthy 👌🏻

Thanks 💁🏻‍♂️

It wasn’t clear enough, when you move to the sides, you end up taking a small amount from the back and that gives you a guide for the front. If I had taken off more length, it would have been more obvious, but then I would have been told off😅

was the plan, but after lock down lifted, salon life went mad!! in the new year, I’ll get the team on to it!

Thanks 👍🏼

By the sounds of it you are very brave! Glad you survived 😄

My pleasure 😊

My pleasure. Diagonal forward meaning longer towards the front and diagonal back longer towards the back?

Remember you asked him, he can’t be blamed. Less is more! Remember it’s only to last you through lock down, just keep those ends healthy!😅😅

Well he did it, following your guide, 2.5 inches shorter and I am very very happy with it! Just need to work on his section technique and he’s good to go! Thank you 🙂

Oh and I did my own long layers, he started to sweat when I mentioned that! 😂

@@sarahenglish2720 I don’t blame him 😅 He step up and did well, fantastic 👌🏻👌🏻

I blamed my husband. lol. I suck. I really do.

Thanks Damarion. I will do, issue at the moment is, unable to get any models due to lockdown. Will see what I can do. There is the option of doll heads , but they are terrible for cutting on.

Hair flows and isn’t a static material, so it will move into both areas. You need to chose somewhere to make you corner. It will not be noticeable as a defined corner. It gives you a consistent guideline and direction to work from. It depends on the shape of the head and thickness of the hair whether I choose the tip or back of the ear, also wether I take it from the crown or directly above the ear position. But I recommend keeping it simple. The two ares will only differ slightly in your result. It’s about how it falls on the chest , as it moves to the back it won’t mater as it will become more of a softening line.

Glad you enjoyed it

Simple but effective, glad you got something from it :)

Hair flows and isn’t a static material, so it will move into both areas. You need to chose somewhere to make you corner. It will not be noticeable as a defined corner.

It depends on the shape of the head and thickness of the hair whether I choose the tip or back of the ear, also wether I take it from the crown or directly above the ear position. So when I cut the hair on the side, the hair I pull straight down will not be taken past the back of the ear. How much you cut off the sides depends on what slopes away from the point of the back of the ear towards the face. As the shortest hair is your guide for the front. Sometimes there is no hair to cut off as the front was already too short. This often happens when people have already cut the sides previously incorrectly, or had a shape that created a V shape at the back. But I recommend keeping it simple. The two ares will only differ slightly in your result. It’s about how it falls on the chest , as it moves to the back it won’t matter as it will become more of a softening line.

How did you get on?

@@blochairreading3788 hey there thanks for replying! , Yeah it went great for my first time , it was tricky because her hair wasn’t 1 length already it fell into a graduation a bit like a V shaped but I think I did a good job or correcting it. I Loved the video though👍🏻👍🏻 many thanks 🙏🏻

It’s to prevent graduation. So that when you finished a haircut and you tilt the head down, don’t get hair sticking out from underneath your cut line. The reason why tilting the head slightly down helps to prevent this, it’s because the hair say from the crown is now travelling a longer distance to get to the same point as the hair travelling from the nape (bottom hairline) If you tilt the head down too much, it will affect the line that you create the back. Once you blowdried the hair, you can always tilt the head slightly downwards and remove any unwanted graduation. You should‘s clearly see your cutline, do not be tempted to change this line, only remove the hair that sticks out from underneath it.

@@blochairreading3788 oooh I see! Thank you for the reply! My mom is cutting my hair this weekend haha

Nice one! Trusting sister 😄

How did it go??

We are here if you need us😊 but good luck 🤞🏼

It’s absolutely fine, once you start going shorter than your collarbone, it needs to be addressed differently. The video would have been better if I was able to take off more. Good luck

Hi, once you’ve moved to the side, you take a small piece from the back of which you’ve already cut, and that’s your guide for the side. Hope that helps.

Bloc Hair Reading ah thank you very much!

Update the cut went terrible but I think it was due to my sister not sitting still and using kitchen scissors 😅 not sure she’ll trust me again!

@@may01fall sorry to hear that! I’m used to moving clients now , but when I started I couldn’t stand if they moved even a tiny bit!!! Keep at it, after all she has more hair to cut😊 best way is to tell them to look at one spot and not take there eyes off it, as soon as they look around the room the head will move. Good luck

@@blochairreading3788 thank you for this! Yes she was on her phone and couldn’t sit still haha!

It can be done for any length within reason. Once you clear the shoulders, you need to take a different approach, but one or 4 inches will be exactly the same.

@@blochairreading3788 Thank you for responding!

Always cut the hair wet never dry. If the lady never wears it straight then cut the hair with very loose tension with a very wide tooth comb. Without proper training this can become a battleground. Good luck

I botched it right up!!!

🤦🏻‍♂️ oh no! Are you still married?

@@blochairreading3788 😅 Yes, somehow!! Few days later it was looking better! I messed up the part were you take the hair from in front of the ears and there was a clear length difference when it was all dry and down🤣 Thanks anyway, I managed!! 10/10 would recommend as long as you follow exactly lol

No standard, just have head lowered slightly to minimise graduation

@@blochairreading3788 Thank you 👍

How did it go?

Lol

Tell me about it🤦🏻‍♂️

Hey Linsey, I couldn’t recommend low cost scissors as for one I never use them and wouldn’t know if they where any good. It also becomes a false economy. Just like buying supermarket shampoo that contains around 80% water when professional contains around 40% water or less. But a great company for scissors that you can pay for them monthly and help the environment at the same time would be leafscissors.com

@@blochairreading3788 ah I see what you mean thanks so much for replying I'll check it out now 😄

There are so many factors involved, it would be hard to give advice. Curly hair for most hairdressers is difficult, depending on the type of curl it can be extremely hard without training. My advice is to seek a professional, there’s normally one hairdresser in most salons that love curly hair. It’s only knowing the type of curl and having a reasonable idea or a very good prediction on how it will react once dry. But the advice I’d give would be to use loose tension while cutting. I always cut wet, and keep head slightly down. Good luck

Thanks

This is the scissors I use are Passion Arc which is a cobalt steel. The comb I can’t remember where it came from, but it is a carbon comb.

It wasn’t clear enough, when you move to the sides, you end up taking a small amount from the back and that gives you a guide for the front. If I had taken off more length, it would have been more obvious.

When It gets to that stage, best to see a professional. Without the experience it can get very tricky

@@blochairreading3788 Thanks for replying. I have been unable to go to a professional because my state is still somewhat locked down
