Oasis Haircut Tutorial:

Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russel Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a modern version of the classic Caesar cut. It's going to be kind of an Oasis take on the Caesar, which is a little bit more British rocker version of a Caesar, but the shape is the same. The only thing that changes is the proportions. So, let's get started.

Scissor Over Comb

So, let's start separating the top from the bottom. And the bottom is where we're going to do all of our scissor over comb using our Jatai Tokyo scissor. It's a 6-in long blade, has a good sharpness to it, and it makes it easy for me to go through and apply my scissor over comb.

We're going to start with a really rough, crude cut just to get some of the length away and to start to build our shape. I'm not worried about this being really, really perfect right now. I'm just trying to get a crude shape in so that I can start to fine-tune it.

I'll start in the center and then work to the right. After I finish the right, then I'll go back and work to the left. And at this point, I'm, as I said, I'm still just getting a very, very crude shape. Once I reach the mastoid right there behind the ear, I don't move any forward. I'll deal with that when I get to the sides.

Now, after I finish the back, I'm going to go through and start fine-tuning it. Now, to fine-tune scissor over comb just means that I'm going to cut it a lot more times. I'll start at the bottom. I'll make a cut. I'll start to make another cut.

As I go up the back of the head, the more scissor cuts that I make, the cleaner that the section can be. I want to make sure that when I'm cleaning it up, all I'm focused on is retracing what's already there. I'm not trying to recut it. I'm tracing what's already there. And each time that I trace it, it should get a little tighter and a little tighter and a little cleaner.

So, I just keep going over it until I get it as clean as I want. After I finish the left side, I'll move on to the right side. After I finish both sides, I'll go through and clean up my perimeter. So, just combing everything down, fitting that in, making sure that that looks good.

Now, we're going to move into the sides. I'm going to take the entire side section, pull it up to the top of the section, and cut it at a desired length right at the top of the section. That's going to leave me longer hair at the ear. So, I'm going to hold the next section up, and I'm going to work that back into the nape right there at the occipital bone. And then I'm going to start to fine-tune from the back into the sides.

Now, I'm not trying to re-cut all that side length off that I've preserved. I'm just going through trying to visually blend the sides into the back right there around the mastoid area and leaving that length in the front.

Blending the Sides with the Top

Now, we're going to go through and use our Feather Styling Razor. This is a razor with the guard so I can really get in there and detail what I'm doing without worry of cutting myself.

I'll go through and take my section right at the sideburn, hold that straight down, go through and channel that off, cut the length off, and make that fit in like I want. I want to leave it long just to cover the ear, but I don't want it longer than the ear.

After I get that fit in, I'm going to continue to work diagonal back sections as I go through and clean everything up and dial it in and make sure it fits and flows smoothly. Perfect. That's looking good. I like that.

Now, we're going to go through and start blending the sides into the top. I'll take a horizontal section that is parallel to the previous section that I took to separate the top from the bottom. And then I'll take a subsection, comb that out straight over towards the hair that's been cut underneath, using that as a guide, and then blending anything that hangs over that, cutting that off.

And I'll work from the front all the way into the back. Once I got that fit in like I want, I'll go on and take my next section, which is parallel to the previously cut section, hold that straight out and over towards the right of his head.

Anything that hangs over the previously cut hair, I'm going to cut off. I'm taking a pretty broad razor stroke just to keep everything nice and soft. And then as I work here into the back, you'll notice that that diagonal section is going right to the occipital bone. That's going to help me blend not only the top to the bottom, but the side into the back.

I'll work that all the way over until I get into the center part of the head. Because anything over the center part of the head is not going to reach. Combing that over. Anything that hangs out, we'll go through and cut that off. This is just to make sure the top doesn't hang over the bottom at any point in time.

Mohawk Sections

Now I'll go through and take a mohawk section right down the center of his head. Starting at the front, holding that straight up and out from the head, I'll go through and cut whatever length that I think that this needs to be on the top, which is going to be fairly short.

I'll cut that head shape all the way from the front into the back at the occipital bone. Just taking my time, gently using the razor, using the motion of the razor to cut, not force. Right there at the very end, I'll cut that off to make sure it blends.

Now I'll take a parallel section to the previous mohawk section. Hold those two sections together and then cut that through using the center piece as my guide. Cutting all the way from the front into the back exactly like I did on my first section, taking my time, letting the razor do the work. Anywhere the hair is too short, I'll just lay my thumb against the guard and anything that hangs out, I'll cut off.

Blending the Corners

Now, here I'll remove the original section that I took. So, I have my second section and then I'll take a diagonal section and then use my center section and the section at the side of the head and just blend that corner off. So, we're keeping the shape very, very round. Using my center guide, blending it into the sides.

So, we're keeping this shape very, very round, but we will keep the edges very, very solid and blunt, not real soft and wispy. Now, we'll just work that all the way through and make sure everything blends through there, that there's nothing that hangs out, no lumpiness at all. I'll go back. I'll take the center section that I started with.

And now, I'll take my first section on the left side of the head. And here I'm showing you I'm cutting from the front to the back just like I did on the other side. Now, this is a little uncomfortable in that we always want to cut the opposite way on each side of the head. But if I cut it the same way on each side, it will flow much better.

The Piecey Fringe

Now, we're going to separate the hair right at the front. I'm going to take a small piece right in the middle. This is going to determine my overall length for my fringe, for my bangs. I'll comb that down and cut my guide. And then go through and channel cut everything off to make sure that it's soft, it's piecey around the front, and also separates.

Now, anything that hangs out a little too long, I'll just take off right through there. I'll pinch cut. Now I'll continue to blend this center cut right at the bangs all the way into the sides of the head. Channel cutting my texture and length at the same time. Pinch that off. That's looking good. And I just fine-tune. This is the most important part of the cut. So I want to take my time and really dial it in.

Now I don't want to get it too long or too short. So that's why I take my time to make sure I get the right length. It's always easier to go back and take more length off than it is to put it back on. So be careful about that. Continuing to work from the center on the left side of the head just like I did on the right side of the head.

And that's why using a a razor with a guard really really helps doing something like this because I can focus on the cut and not give any thought to any kind of fear of cutting myself.

Removing Weight with Texturizing Scissors

Now I'll go through with my Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors. And this is the perfect amount of texturizing scissor that to remove just enough weight to keep the shape moving without over thinning it.

I'll start at the bottom and I'll go through and thin the entire side of the head. into the parietal ridge, the roll of the head, to make sure I can get everything nice and smooth and blended. I'll cut the top later, but I'll start at the bottom and I'm going to cut about halfway into the length.

When I cut into the length, I'm removing thickness. When I'm focusing the thinning on the very tips, I'm blending things together.

Now, let's blow it dry. I'm going to blow dry the sides down to make sure they don't stick out as much as I can. And just kind of get everything nice and dry and smooth, keeping everything in its natural fall. Apply a little bit of clay to get some texture to it. And taking my time to go through and separate the pieces to make it just right.

Final Look

Here's our end result. And you know, I think that this looks pretty good. The shape is there. It's not the classic tapered version of it where the sides and the back is cut real short and everything on top is cropped real short, but the shape is the same. It's just I left a little bit more length here in the back because I'm finding the fade uninteresting anymore.

So, I think a little bit more hair is much more interesting and much more fashionable. And I think a lot of the clients that we have are tending to grow their hair out and are kind of over the fade. They're the fade is fading, so to speak.

So, we left it a little longer on the side so you can have that Oasis kind of shape to it. Bangs are cut short. If you were to take the sides short like the back, it would be a classic Caesar, but with these sides left out a little longer, it is the much more rocker version. The shape is a classic, so just modify the proportions and you'll get all kinds of variations from it.

He's ready to go!

Hairstyles have always been a significant aspect of human culture, reflecting the trends, values, and social norms of different eras. Let's explore the history and evolution of hairstyles over the decades: 1920s The Roaring Twenties introduced a major shift in women's hairstyles. The iconic bob haircut became popular, characterized by short, straight hair that was often worn with a side parting. This style symbolized women's liberation and a break from traditional gender roles. 1930s The 1930s saw a transition from the boyish bob to more feminine and glamorous looks. Soft waves and curls were fashionable, and women often used hot rollers or pin curls to achieve the desired effect. The Hollywood influence played a significant role in popularizing these glamorous hairstyles. The most popular look was the Hollywood wave which has continued to be a popular look in the 2020s. 1940s The World War II era influenced hairstyles as practicality and functionality became essential. Victory rolls were popular among women, involving rolling and pinning sections of hair to create a prominent wave at the front. Shorter, cropped hairstyles were also prevalent due to the practicality of working women. The victory roll is a popular hairstyles for pinup girls of today. 1950s The 1950s embraced femininity and elegance. Women's hairstyles often featured voluminous curls, poodle cuts, and the iconic bouffant. The advent of hair spray helped maintain these elaborate styles. Men's hair was often slicked back or styled into a pompadour. 1960s The 1960s brought about a revolution in hairstyles, influenced by the counterculture movements and the rise of British pop culture.

Big hair was in, with women teasing their hair to achieve volume and using copious amounts of hairspray. Perms, mullets, and feathered hairstyles were all the rage. Men also sported voluminous hairstyles, including the famous "mullet" style. 1990s The 1990s witnessed a more casual and grunge-inspired approach to hairstyles. The "Rachel" haircut, popularized by Jennifer Aniston's character on the TV show "Friends," became incredibly trendy. Short, pixie cuts also gained popularity among women. Men's hairstyles ranged from long, unkempt looks to shorter, textured styles. 2000s The turn of the millennium brought a mix of hairstyles. Straight, sleek hair became fashionable, often achieved through the use of straightening irons. Emo and scene subcultures popularized asymmetrical cuts, choppy layers, and bold colors. Men's hairstyles varied from buzz cuts to spiky hair. 2010s The 2010s embraced a diverse range of hairstyles. The ombre trend gained popularity, with hair transitioning from dark to light colors.

The 2020s have seen a diverse range of popular hair trends. These trends reflect a blend of past styles with contemporary influences and individual expression. These types of cuts and looks have all been popularized so far. Natural Textures There has been a growing emphasis on embracing natural hair textures and celebrating diversity. People with curly and wavy hair have been encouraged to let their natural textures shine, leading to the popularity of hairstyles like the curly afro, twist-outs, and braid-outs. Bob and Lob Haircuts The bob and lob (long bob) haircuts have remained popular in the 2020s. These versatile styles can be customized to suit different face shapes and hair textures. The blunt bob, textured bob, and asymmetrical lob have been particularly trendy. Pixie Cuts Short pixie cuts have made a comeback in the 2020s, offering a bold and chic look. This style allows for low-maintenance haircare routines and can be customized with different textures and lengths to suit individual preferences. Curtain Bangs Curtain bangs, also known as Bardot bangs or '70s bangs, have gained popularity. This style features long, face-framing bangs that are parted in the middle, creating a soft and romantic look. Curtain bangs can be paired with various hairstyles, from long waves to updos. Shag Haircuts The shag haircut, inspired by the '70s, has been a popular choice in the 2020s. This layered cut adds texture and movement to the hair, often with feathered or choppy ends and best achieved with a razor. The modern shag offers a versatile and effortlessly cool aesthetic. Balayage and Face-Framing Highlights Balayage, a technique that creates soft, natural-looking highlights, has continued to be a sought-after trend in the 2020s. Face-framing highlights, where lighter tones are strategically placed around the face, have also gained popularity as they can brighten and accentuate facial features. Sustainable and Low-Maintenance Styles With increasing environmental awareness and thanks to the pandemic, sustainable and low-maintenance hairstyles have become popular. Effortless, air-dried looks, minimalist haircuts, and styles that require minimal product usage have gained traction. This trend aligns with the desire for a more eco-friendly and time-efficient approach to haircare. Throughout the generations, hairstyles have changed dramatically. Every generation has been characterized by different looks and styles. As people continue to express their creativity with their hair, as new products are developed and as social and political climates change, these all influence how we decide to express ourselves through our personal styles. While some trends have lasted for decades, others have come and gone. Who knows what the rest of the 2020s or 2030s will bring. Whatever it is, we're sure it's going to be memorable.

Bobs, Bobs and More Bobs: The Trend of 2023

by JATAI, 24 May 2023

It seems 2023 is starting off with some fun looks. After a couple years of shagadelic haircuts and mullety styles, the trending looks are taking a more classic approach these days. While shags and mullets may have had their run, the bob is turning out to take centerfold. The great thing about a bob is that it's so versatile. There are many ways to cut and style a bob to match a personality or persona. Bobs can be long or short, blunt or textured, curled or straight with or without bangs. The creative possibilities are endless! Let's look at 10 popular bob styles that get the most love. The Graduated Bob The graduated bob is a type of bob with stacked layers in the back with longer strands in the front. The back of the hair tends to be more curved instead of a hard angle. It is it a difficult haircut to achieve but it looks great when done right. It's a very common and popular short haircut. It can be achieved by using scissors or a razor. A-Line Bob Alternatively, the A-Line haircut refers to the perimeter of the haircut. It is the same as a graduated bob in that the hair is shorter in the back and longer in the front. However, it does not have the stacking of layers in the back. And the front is usually more pointed than a graduated bob. Asymmetrical Bob This type of bob's distinct characteristic is that one side in front is longer than the other. It can have layers or no layers and it can be stacked or not stacked in the back. There are different renditions of an asymmetrical bob, but it's usually a style for someone who wants a little edge to their bob style. French Bob The French bob is a classic bob hairstyle characterized by very short hair, either at the chin line or above. Sometimes it's paired with short bangs too. Think of the movie Amelie and you'll know what this looks like. It usually has lots of layers and texture for a choppy look. For the extra texture, a razor works well. Italian Bob Similar to a French Bob, the Italian bob is slightly longer, usually grazing the chin or below but above the shoulders. It's sophisticated and elegant and has a blunt straight edge. The Italian bob carries weight at the bottom with a lot of volume. It can be achieved by using scissors or a razor...or both at the same time. Lob Lob stands for 'long bob' so the hair generally skims the shoulders or goes slightly past it. This is a popular look in modern times as it gives a happy medium between having short and long hair. When curled it can look shorter and resemble a traditional bob, but when straightened it can look more like medium length hair. Straight Bob A classic, simple no frills bob is the straight bob. With no layers, no texture, no curls or stacking, this look is very basic. It can be cut with bangs if desired, but the general look is one of sleek sophistication. The look is completely symmetrical and lays flat against the head. It can look quite sultry and sexy if done right. Layered Bob This style is also known as a textured bob. Simply stated, this type of bob has more body and movement to give volume. While the straight bob has no layers or volume, the layered bob is all about the extra lift. The extra texture is often achieved by using a razor. Curly Bob With even more texture is the curly bob. The curly bob is full of bounce and volume. It could be layered but it doesn't have to be. This bob is fun and full of life and energy. The curls could be natural or intentionally made with a curling iron or curling tool. The curls can be tight and small or big and loose. There are so many ways a curly bob can look! Modern Bob The modern bob is so 2023. It's what has been trending for bobs in the last few years. And it's THIS bob. While it won't last forever, it is the 'it' style as of late. The modern bob is characterized as casual, cool, soft and feminine. It usually has a slight curl in there and a little volume. It's a simple yet stylish bob that's attractive and eye catching. It's no wonder the modern bob has become so popular. So that's it! 10 bob hairstyles for 2023. Although most of these bobs have been around for many many years, it just goes to show how classic the bob really is. It will never go out of style and there will always be new innovative ways to cut and style a bob. Here's to short hair in 2023. Hair Trends, Women
