Tutorial

In this tutorial we look at a textured bob haircut that's stylish and modern. With lots of movement and separation this is a bob cut perfect for the new year! If you're looking for bob haircut ideas as a hairstylist, this one says 2026. Bob haircuts will always be in style and with a wide variety of bob hairstyles, textured hair gives the most modern look. Watch this video and follow along with the transcript below.    Textured Bob Haircut Tutorial: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing an experiment in a double layered overt bob. Double layered means it's going to have more layering than you think a bob can have. Overt because we're going to open everything up and show you exactly how to do it. Is it still going to look like a bob with that much layering? Yes, it will. Still going to be a bob. Alright, so let's get started. Let's start with some sectioning here. We're going to take a side section to the quarter part, then down to the nape. And then we're going to section out right behind the ear.   Establishing the Length I'm using my Feather Styling Razor. This is the limited edition wood-look. I'm also using the Standard Blade. Starting on the side, I'm going to take a little section of hair right above the ear and use that to get the lengths balanced on both sides. This is also going to be my length for when I go through and hold this straight up in the air and layer it. So, I see that piece falling out. That's the length that I'm going to use as my guide to cut that length right through there. By cutting my length guide first and using that as my layering guide, it prevents me from cutting my layering too short. You'll also see me using that length that I cut initially as the visual for me to pinch cut all this length here and start to build my one length shape. So by pinching a little section of hair that wants to separate together, that's going to allow me to build up a bob-like shape without going through and cutting everything perfectly blunt. So, by leaving it a little haphazard and some sections a little longer and some a little shorter, I can get a lot of movement through it without it being really hard or blunt. And the more movement that I have, the more visually interesting that the shape can be and the more ways that I can style it and the broader range of hair textures that I can put this shape on. After we've done one side, we've got it like we want, we'll go through and match that to the other side until both sides match. Now, I'll start in the center of the nape.   Collapsing the Shape I'm going to pull this center part of the section straight up in the air and cut that about an inch longer than my parting right there at the occipital bone. Now, granted this is very, very short right here in the nape, but because I'm pulling it up, it's going to leave me length on the bottom. But it's also going to collapse the shape. So, it's going to keep the shape from being too thick and too bulky and not having that same movement that I'm going to have on the sides. So, I can match the fluidity and the movement from the back into the sides. Now, I'll just match this on both sides. Pull everything straight up using the center section as my initial guide and blending it towards each side. There we go. A good look at it right there. Going from center out. Just keeping the same broad razor stroke that I was using throughout. Once I got that done, check it out.   Blending Around the Ears Now, we're going to go through and blend the section right behind the ear. We're going to hold that straight up in the air just like I did the other sections underneath, but this time I'm using the length that I used on the sides, not the length I used in the back. I'm going to match this on both sides. So, I'm leaving a little bit more length and a little bit more density right behind the ear because that section of the head doesn't have as much hair. So, it gives me a good way to blend. And by having that a little bit weightier and a little bit heavier, (that kind of looks like a cool mullet right there by the way) but by having that section behind the ear a little weightier and heavier, it also makes my bob a little stronger. If I was to layer that as much as I had layered the back, my bob shape is not going to be as strong.   Addressing the Back Now, we're going to hold everything straight down. I'm going to cut my one length that I choose in the back. I'll take a little bit of weight out right through there and then just lay the blade flat across the section and cut my one length right in the back. Now, I'm not worried about this being the same length all the way around for a one length bob. I want to bevel this a little bit towards the sides. So, I'm going to leave it a little longer in the back and then round my corner out as I start working from the back into the sides. I want that kind of bevel.   Follow us on your favorite social media at @jataifeather   Short Front, Long Back I have been fascinated with a lot of the Asian bobs that we're seeing and they're all beveled around the front. A little shorter in the back and a little, I'm sorry, a little shorter in the front and longer in the back. And I find that very visually interesting when it's coming to these bob shapes. Now, we're going to take a little section right in the front, right there in the center of the front section of the head. I'm going to comb that down. And this is going to be the guide for my shortest layer. It's not going to be the bangs. It's going to be the guide for the shortest layer. I'll take a center section, hold that straight up and using that short little piece that I just cut as my guide, I'm going to start cutting from shorter to longer. So, I'm trying to keep this idea and this feeling of shorter around the face, a little longer in the back, but I don't want it to be completely bi-level. I want it to blend through. So, by holding this straight up and cutting my layering from short to long in the back, I can remove more weight around the front, but still have a good solid bob shape. But it introduces movement where it flows around the front a little bit more. Because it's shorter in the front, longer in the back, hair flows to its longest piece. I'll take a parallel section, hold that straight up into the center of the head, following my initial guide, and then razor that through just as I did in my previous section. I'm taking a pretty large section here. And then also with the hair underneath as my guide, that's a pretty thick section. So, if you can't work in sections as big as I am, it's easy to take much smaller sections. Again, pulling everything to the center of the head using my guide lengths from underneath. And anything that hangs over that I get to cut off. Keeping the same razor stroke that I was underneath, now I'll take everything on this side of the head. The underneath is going to fall out, but anything on the rest of the head, I'm going to pull up into the center and cut those lengths off. Make sure you keep a good firm grip on the hair and it makes it easier to cut. Now, after I finish the left side, I will go through and do the exact same thing on the right side. After I finish both sides and it's looking the way I want, I'll take a center section again and start blending that through the back. I'll take my center section in the back. I'll hold that straight up. You'll see my guide length from the front right through there. And then I'll continue cutting that length all the way back. But I'm not increasing my length as I go back like I did in the front. I'm cutting everything just horizontal straight across.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   So after we cut that all the way down till we run out of hair, I'll take a parallel section just like I did in the front. Hold that up into the center again. And using my guide from underneath, anything that hangs over, I will cut off. As I'm working these layers through into the nape, I'm not increasing the length. I'm keeping it the same. Or I could layer it down and bevel the shape a little bit more depending upon the thickness of the hair. And I'll just keep working this section over until I run out of hair on the right side. Then I'll go through and do the exact same thing on the left side. There we go. Looking good. And you can see that long little corner right through there, right behind the ear because the hairline behind the ear doesn't have any hair. So I need to add a little bit more weight to make sure I can keep my bob shape.   Beveling Now I'm going to start right in the center just like I was doing underneath on the sides. I'll take a little section. I'll pinch it into my fingers and then cut that until I can bevel it. So, I'll start cutting on one side, then maybe on the other side. And I want to keep piecing that out and just little pinches of hair so I can start fitting my bob shape in. This is where the bob starts to really pop. But by going through and doing this, it gives me a lot of movement and a lot of variation and a lot of softness, but it doesn't build up an overly strong structured shape. And I just keep working that all the way around until I get the shape looking like I want on my perimeter. So in this shape, I've gone through and layered it first and then cut my perimeter shape into it. 99% of the time I will go through, cut my perimeter shape and then layer it. If I go through and I'm trying to get a lot of texture and a lot of lightness and a lot of airiness in it, by cutting the perimeter first, I've already made it too solid and it's very, very difficult to get that solidity out of it once I put it in.   The Bangs Now, we're going to go through and take our little section right around the front and make sure that that blends into where my shortest layer was. So, I'll start in the center and just bevel that a little longer towards the corners on the sides. So, it's shorter in the middle, a little longer towards the left and a little longer towards the right. Now, after I've got everything fit in, I'm going to go through and put a little undercut bang right here in the front. I think a little undercut will give it a little bit more airiness and poppiness around the front without being overly solid or overly styled. So, we're going to start in the center doing the same thing. Just pinching into a little section. Cutting it visually as I see it needs to be cut. Doing the same thing on both sides. Shorter in the center, a little longer as it goes towards each side. Now, this shape offers a lot of variation depending upon hair types like the thickness or the thinness of the hair. You could even do this on curly hair, but I might use a scissor to point cut it as opposed to a razor depending on the texture of the hair.   Textured Bob with Bangs Final Look  After I get all that done, I'm going to go through and blow it dry. And you can really see the texture popping here. And I like it. Here's our end result. And I think that we have a really strong bob shape to it even though we have double layered it. We've layered it underneath so much that it barely has any shape at all. But we still have a strong perimeter shape. We've layered the top maximum layer that you can get into it with a razor, but yet we still have a strong solid bob shape. And I think the benefit of going through and razoring the layering first and controlling how much layering we're taking out and then going back in and putting in our perimeter shape, it really helps us control exactly how strong of a perimeter shape that we put into it. Add this textured bob cut with layers to your repertoire. Experiment with it a little bit. Get your doll head and play around and I think it will open up a whole new world of possibilities for your layering and your razoring.

Let's take a look at the famous David Cassidy hairstyle popularized in the 70s. This Partridge family icon made the men's shag haircut a fashion statement for the times. In this tutorial you will learn how to cut the original classic 70s shag that David wore and bring it back to life, not the modern version of it. Why? Because sometimes learning how to cut classic styles can inspire new creativity in your haircutting as the techniques are totally different from modern haircutting.  Watch this David Cassidy 1970s shag haircut tutorial and follow along with the transcript below.    David Cassidy Hairstyle Tutorial: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a study of the original 60s-70s man shag made popular by David Cassidy. His hair was iconically 70s and made the shag popular. Now this is the original version of the shag, not the modern reinterpretation of it where it's really highly textured. This is going to be the original. So, we make sure that we get the layering in it really short to get fullness on top. Make sure you get some bangs in it. Get the feathers because the feathers are very, very important. They're imperative to have in this shape. So, we're going to show you how to do all that. So, let's get started.   Pulling Everything  Up So, let's go through and section everything out before we even start cutting to make sure that we can work as cleanly as possible. Take a center section to the crown from the high point of the head to the top of the ear. Then in the back half of the head, I'm going to take the center section out. It's probably about a 3-in wide section. I'm using my Feather Styling Razor. This is the one with the guard. And the blade is very, very sharp on these Feather Styling Razors. So, I can work with a very large, thick section of hair as long as I'm patient as I go through and use my razor motion. I'll cut that right at the top of the crown. I'll continue on taking section by section and pulling that into my original section. So, the first section was held straight up at the crown. Everything else is going to be pulled up into the crown as well. So, by pulling everything into the crown and having a stationary guide, that's actually going to give me an inconsistency in my elevation. So the first section's held at 90° straight up and then everything else gets held at a greater elevation. So that allows me to build up an increase of length very very quickly, but it also gives me an inconsistent weight distribution which will cause the shape to collapse. So I'll get a lot of fullness at the crown, but as it continues onto the perimeter, the shape is not going to be as round and as full. So, it's going to be fuller on top, less full on the sides, which is really iconic of the 70s type of look for this type of classic shag. So, we're going to continue section by section, pulling everything straight up into my original section and just being patient with the razor. I'm not trying to force and muscle the razor through the hair. I'm allowing the razor to do the work by just laying it against the sections of hair. So, it's the razor motion that's actually doing the cut. It's not me pressuring it against the hair. If I start pressuring it against the hair, I'll actually start pushing the hair and it's going to dull the blade fairly fairly quick. So, just the razor motion is what's cutting it. Pulling everything up to the center again until I run out of hair. Now, we're going to go through and take the center section, split that in half, use one half of the center as my guide for the left and one half for the right. Starting at the top again, right at the crown. Pulling everything straight up into the crown. Using my center section as my guide and cutting that straight across. Everything gets pulled up. The same sort of methodology I was doing in the back. And just using my guide and trying to be right on top of the guide as I cut that forward.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now, we got our last section right here on the left side. Pulling everything up and just following my guide and making sure everything blends where I've cut the original guide at the top. Checking out my layering on both sides. And I think we got that short enough. Now, we're going to go through and take a center section using the guide at my original crown section that I cut. Pull that straight up into the center of the head and then cut that forward. Now, when I cut this section, I cut it too long. I didn't feel like it was short enough. So, I've gone back on this and cut it about an inch shorter. So, it's important to kind of monitor your lengths and make sure that they're appropriate as you're working towards the finish of the haircut because once you get finished, you don't want to go back and do the whole haircut again. So, I'm going to try to check and make sure I cut it the right lengths as I'm going through step by step as opposed to trying to catch it at the very end. Now, we're going to continue working down towards the the perimeter of the head, pulling everything straight up into the center, following my original guide, and cutting that short. Now, when I'm layering this, it is quite a bit shorter than I would layer most hair for this particular length. It feels a little uncomfortable, but practicing on a doll head really helps you get over that fear of cutting it too short, which is something that's been instilled in us since beauty school, the fear of cutting everything too short. Now, we're going to continue to pull everything straight up into the middle of the head. There's my guide from underneath. And continue to cut everything that hangs over that off.   Follow us on your favorite social media at @jataifeather   Continuing to work that forward until I run out of hair. After I've cut the other side, I'm going to go back and now I'm going to cut the perimeter shape.   Cutting the Perimeter Shape I'll take a horizontal section across the nape area. Hold that straight down. Wherever I want this length to be, that's what I'm going to cut straight across. Using the razor to give me just a little bit of texture on the ends to soften it up, but I'm still keeping this shape fairly blunt. You know, I'm trying to keep it with the original feeling of the 70s shag. And it was a blunt shape. It was a blunt cut. It wasn't real overly textured. I'm putting a little bit of texture in it to keep it a little more modern, but I want the shape to be really representative of what the original haircut was, which was overly layered on the top, very, very blunt but with a lot of movement to it. So, we're holding everything down. Once we get our perimeter length cut, then we shall move on to the front. One more little piece right there we go. Perfect.   The Bangs Now, we're going to section out our bang section. I'm going to take about half of that so I can start face framing our bangs here. I'm going to comb that first center section straight down with no tension at all. Cut that right at the bridge of the nose. I'll take a blunt little shape and then put a little bit of softening into it as I cut that shape across. So, it's giving me a blunt shape, but then that one razor stroke really softens it up a little bit, but I'm not trying to make the whole thing real super soft. I want to keep a solid shape but give it a little bit of airiness so that one long razor stroke helps lighten it up without it getting too piecey or too light. There we go. We've got that. I like the lengths there. Now, we're going to continue and see if anything else hangs over. And anything that hangs over, we're going to cut off. Holding that straight down just like I cut the original section. Anything that hangs over. Boom. There we go. Got that off. Now I'm going to go through and take a little bit in the center underneath and just lighten this piece up because I noticed that in a lot of the photos that I studied that he had a little bit of lightness right at the center where it kind of feathered back. So I'm taking a little bit of that bang out and making it lighter.   Blending Now, we're going to take a diagonal section. I'm going to pull everything on the side of the head straight forward. I'm not worried if this blends in with my perimeter length. If it does, great. If it doesn't, that's okay. We're going to keep it disconnected. But I want to make sure that I pull everything straight forward and cut that off. And this is where my feathers are coming from is because I'm pulling it all straight forward and blending it in with the bangs. If I don't blend it in with the bangs, it tends to not really have that feathery look to it. So, it has to blend with the bangs. After I've pulled everything forward, I'll comb everything straight down. And anything that gets revealed from the underneath hairline, I'll go through and make sure that that blends through. Pulling everything straight forward from the back and seeing if anything hangs over, which it doesn't look like there's a whole lot. So, we're just going to make sure that that all blends through. There we go. Perfect. I like that. Now, let's blow everything dry. Pull everything forward and blow it back. And then lean his head over and blow everything dry to get it nice and full and voluminous. Then use a vent brush just to polish everything off and get it all moving righteously.   Final Look And here's our end result. And I think that we're looking pretty good. We got the key elements of the shape and we got the proportions right. You know, the key things are over layering it more on top than you think you need to, pulling everything forward on the sides and cutting that nice and short and so that you have this, you know, disconnect right here at the top of the ear. And it makes everything feather back. And we got just the right amount of texture to it. And because of the way we layered it, it makes this top really full, but then collapses the weight on the sides. And by collapsing it, it forces the bottom to flip. So this is a very versatile shape. If you have someone that wants really short full layers on top and wants it kind of out of their face. Sometimes a study of the old classic shapes can really break you out of your creative box because this really will test you because if you're used to doing modern shapes, they're not anywhere close to this. This breaks a lot of modern rules by layering it so short and by pulling everything forward and feathering it all back. But I still think it looks pretty good. I think it's really cool. If I had hair, I'm telling you, this is what I'd be wearing. I think it looks great. Feathers are very, very important. You have to have the feathers if you're going to do a 70s hardcore shag. Anyway, please check out the Jatai Academy. There's all kinds of fantastic information on there that will make you better hairstyles and barber. Also, let us know what you'd like to see in the future. Thank you so much for watching and we'll see you next time.  

The Vidal Sassoon 5 point haircut is one of the most iconic haircuts of the 60s and 70s. Alongside the Vidal styles he created for Grace Coddington and Nancy Kwan, the 5 point cut is often synonymous with the Mary Quant haircut. Professional hairdressing at the time was dominated by Sassoon cuts and Vidal made a statement in the fashion industry with his iconic cuts, salons and books. Today we can re-imagine Vidal Sassoon haircuts in a lighter, softer way. With the five point haircut, we can still maintain the geometric haircut shape but give it a modern look.  Watch this Sassoon 5 point haircut tutorial and follow along with the transcript.    Vidal Sassoon 5 Point Haircut:     Welcome back to Jatai Academy. Today we're going to do a challenge. It's a challenge for me to do this iconic Sassoon five-point haircut that was so... it really is what kickstarted Sassoon's career and really created the whole aesthetic of the late 60s and early 70s with this mod look. It's real solid with a beveled bang, two points on the side, three points in the back, but we're going to modernize it and do it with a razor. It's a challenging haircut, but we're going to show you how to soften it, give it a lot more versatility, and add a lot more texture to it if you want. So, let's get started.   Graduating the Back I'm going to start here with a horizontal section from the crown to the top of the ears. And then we're going to take a vertical section right down the middle. And I'm going to use my Feather Plier Razor. This is a guardless razor, so there is no protection on this. So, you needs to be extra careful. And it is extremely sharp, but it also gives me the most control over cutting a section of hair. And I'm going to go through and graduate this section in the back. Take a parallel section to that and continue to work all the way over to one side by walking my guide. So, I'm going to pull it out. I'm going to visualize what length of the top of the graduation is going to be, where it hits the ear. So, I'm kind of visualizing where that top of the parting section is, and I want to kind of see where that's going to hit the ear. And then I'm tapering it down, graduating it down shorter around the nape. As I cut the center section, that's my guide. And then I start to walk my sections all the way over to the left. So, I'll take the next section, add it to the previously cut section. So, I will remove the previously cut section, and then add to that. So, here I'm taking my next section, and I'm removing all the other hair. So, I only have the previously cut section and the section that I'm cutting. Holding that straight out in the center of both of those sections and cutting from long to short. Longer at the top, shorter in the nape. And I'm leaving a little bit of extra length there at the nape so that I can make sure I can get my points very defined. Working all the way over to the side. Now I'm getting in right behind the ear. And I'm just following the same guide that I started in the center back. Walking that all the way over to the ear. I can change the angle of graduation that I want. If I want it to stack up a little bit more, if I want it to be a little bit more even like this. It's all dependent upon the angle of graduation that I create. And here's the end result on the left side. We're going to take our center guide and I'm going to go through and do the exact same thing on the other side. Once I finish that, I'll take my next horizontal section, which is going to be the center of the recession all the way right back to the crown. Take a vertical section in the center and then follow that same angle of graduation that I was doing underneath up and out. So I'm basically graduating and stacking the whole back so that I get a nice pleasing round head shape in the back. So by leaving this longer in the crown, it's actually going to bevel the shape and make it look much more pleasing in the crown. If I tend to change the angle here and go straight up, it tends to make the back of the head look flat. So here I'm doing exactly what I was doing underneath. Taking my previous guide as I'm walking that all the way around to the side and then blending that in with the hair that was cut underneath. Once I get to the quarter part here, I'll start to pivot my angle and the parting is changing. So no longer is it just straight up and down, but it's actually pivoting and leaving a little bit more length in the front. So each section I take is a diagonal pie section off of that hairline. I'm sorry, off of that parting right at the quarter part using the guide that I had created originally from the back. Working that longer as I get around the front. So I'm almost getting like a little bob shape around the front. Now, it's not going to be a bob shape in the end because I am going to cut it out over the ears, but this certainly gives me and saves enough length around the front so that I can work everything in nice and smooth. Then from here, after I got that shaped like I want, do the same thing on the other side.   Building Weight on Top Now, I'll take my next horizontal section and I'll take this all the way around the head. And from here, I'm no longer going to cut vertically. I'm going to hold each section horizontally out. So, by holding each section horizontally off the peak curvature of the head, I start to build up a little bit more weight on the top of the head. So, a vertical section is going to be less solid than if I take a horizontal section. So, I want it less solid underneath. So, I take vertical sections. More solid on the top. So, I reserve some length. I take horizontal sections. And then I'll just continue to work that from the center of the back all the way around into the sides and to the front. Now, this blade is very, very sharp as all the Feather blades are. But since this doesn't have a guard, I have to be a little extra mindful so that I don't end up cutting myself. But the benefit of this is that since it doesn't have a guard, it's very easy to get the exact cut line that I want. And that's the beauty of the Plier Razor is that it gives you the most control and the cleanest cut of any of the razors that I have. Now, I'm going to continue to work this section all the way up into the center of the head. So, I'm just going to keep following the same type of methodology that I was working before. That got a little bit long. So, we're going to take a little bit more off. And I'll continue to work this until I end up with all the hair on the top being cut into the side lengths.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe, and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now, detailing this a little bit to make sure I get the line as clean as I want. I can just pinch a little piece of hair off and then lay the razor right on top of it. And that pinching gives me the tension and allows me to get a nice clean cut. So, I'll work this all the way up into the center of the head. The same thing I was doing before. That curvature of the head shows me where the parietal ridge is. That's the elevation that I'm holding it up at. So, I get a nice stack of graduation and just following the previously cut guide. Now, this haircut is going to require a tremendous amount of detailing, especially as I'm getting that beveling around the front, but I'll show you how to do that. So, you can see certain stages of this haircut where you think, okay, well, that looks pretty good just like that. So, you can stop there. You don't have to go through and bevel this. There's a lot of options and a lot of versatility with this type of haircut.   Beveling the Front So, I'll take a section around the front of the head from the first bump of the head to the high point of the ear. I'll hold everything straight down. Start cutting where I want my bevel line to be around the front. So, the bangs in the center, that's where I'm going to start and then clean that up. Now, you'll see here I'll lay the hair on my finger and then just use the blade to scrape anything off that doesn't quite fit and isn't as clean as I want. There we go. Just pinching that up and getting that nice and clean. There we go. I like that length there. Now, we're going to continue to work that into the sides into the point right there in front of the ear. So, I'll pick a guide from the center and then I'll angle my fingers to match the angle of my face framing and that beveling around the front. And then I will cut that line into it. And then I'll start with a nice even cut. Try to get it as clean as I can and then look at it and then fine-tune it as I need to. Like right here, there's something that doesn't match. So, I'm going to pull that forward. Cut a little bit of that off. Make sure that I take my time and fitting everything in because this haircut is going to show every fault and flaw that you have. And so, you have to take your time to get it to fit just right. And right there, that was good. That makes everything flow right from the center of the bangs into the corner right there where my point is in front of the ear. Now I'm combing everything forward like a little bowl cut. Take my section from underneath as my guide and then go through and cut the rest of the hair on top of it directly on top of my guide. I try to keep the razor stroke exactly the same throughout each section so that I can maintain the same amount of weight and the same amount of texture. I don't want to start with a real loose razor stroke underneath and then go with a real tight one on top. I want to keep everything even. And then if I need to go back in and take some weight out, then I can go through and purposely take weight out. I want to be very, very methodical. Even though I'm using a razor, which is a softer, more free type of cut, I still want to respect the methodology that I'm going through and cutting. And here I'll keep combing. Comb and comb and look and see where it doesn't fit. See where I need to clean it up. It needs to be cleaned up right there. So the same thing. Pull forward. See where it's not blending. And then fine-tune.   Fine-Tuning Now right here, I'm going to take my quarter part and right on top of the ear, I'm going to pull out a piece of hair, pinch that, and cut that real short. Right there. Not on top of the ear, shorter than the ear, but laying right on the top of it. Then I'll take a section at a diagonal going from the ear down into the nape. And here I'm going to switch it up. And since I was using my Feather Plier Razor, now I'm going to switch it up and use my Feather Styling Razor in the limited edition wood grain. So this way I can really get in there and fine-tune more without fear of having to cut myself because sometimes I need to fine-tune more than I need the cleanliness and the control of what the Plier provides me. So this way I can go through and get a really nice clean shape and I can continue to fine-tune without fear of cutting myself. And now I'll just start pinching over the ear and making sure everything blends like I want. And then pinching around the front, making sure that all blends. And I just keep fine-tuning it as I need to. This is a shape that just requires a lot of refinement to make sure it really falls in like you want it to. Now here I'm going to exaggerate my points in the back. These are the three major points in the back. So, I'm going to make sure that we can really arc that hairline out to get my kind of Batman kind of tail and then the wings on the side. I felt like the front was probably a little too thick and a little too solid. And since I wanted a modern version of this, I'm going to go through and razor a little bit, flat razor it to take some of that weight out. This is going to give me a nice lightness and softness and airiness to it so that when I blow it dry, I'll have a lot more versatility to it. And here there's something right there, right there at the corner of the eye that I just don't like. And I'm going to keep cleaning it up until I get it perfect.   Follow us on your favorite social media, @jataifeather   Blowdrying, Styling and the End Result Once I get all my detailing finished like I want, I'm going to go through and start blowing dry. And then I'm going to use my Du-Boa styling brush to dry everything very, very neutral back and forth and back and forth until I can get everything nice and smooth and neutral and as much fullness as I want to so where I can whip the hair back and forth. After that, I'm going to put a little bit of texture paste on it just to enable me to get a little bit of separation and to make the shape really, really pop. Now, I think this looks pretty good. All right, here is our end result of our modern day five point. We got the key points here. We got three in the back. We got one on one side, a nice little bevel to point on the other side. And I think that the razor really adds a nice texture to this and makes it look really modern and fresh. You know, this is a very challenging haircut for a lot of people to do, especially me. But even to take it a step further and do it with a razor, I really think modernizes this really hardcore 70's Sassoon, 60's Sassoon kind of look. So something to add to your repertoire, something to practice. Please check out the Jatai Academy.

When we think of a Halle Berry short haircut, the first thing that comes to mind is the pixie cut. The Halle Berry short straight hair pixie haircut is her iconic red carpet look that has captivated her beauty and fashion forward hairstyles. In this tutorial Russell Mayes, re-creates this celebrity Halle Berry haircut using a Feather Styling Razor for an easy, soft look. With bangs to compliment the face and a little styling he creates a splitting image of the Halle Berry pixie cut. Watch this  video and follow along with the transcript. Halle Berry Short Haircut Tutorial:   Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. And today we're going to be doing an in-depth study of how to do a pixie inspired by Halle Berry. She has great pixies and they're all different kind of lengths from really short and really clean to a little longer, a little more medium. But the things that I think they have in common is they're all almost the same length all the way around. So, we're going to show you how to get a little bit of softness around the edges without it looking mullety. We're going to show you how to get the right texture to it so you can have some fullness and some length without it starting to feel bulky and kind of old-fashioned.   Sectioning So, to get started here, what I'm going to do is I'm going to separate the top of the head from the bottom of the head. So, separating the bottom of the head, I can work with just the short part. Then the top part's going to be a lot easier once I got all this fitted in. Because to make sure that this gets fitted in around the edges and still be feminine is something that's going to take a little bit of detailing. So, we're going to deal with that first. Deal with the hard parts first. I'm going to take the center of the recession straight back to the quarter part. Quarter part to the occipital bone. That's going to give me the whole right underneath side. Now, from here, I'm going to section off at an angle right at the front of the hairline, which is going to be parallel to this hairline right behind the ear and parallel to that hairline right at the front. I find that by going parallel to my partings, it has a nicer flow to it and it fits the head shape better if I work within the boundaries of the hairline.   Starting on the Sides Now, I'm going to go through and use my Feather Styling Razor and the limited edition wood grain. This is my favorite. I think it looks cool. And I'm using the R-Type Blade. The R-Type Blade exposes more of the cutting blade so I can cut more hair at one time. But I do have to be a little more conscientious because it is exposing a little bit more blade. So, we're going to start right here in the front at my first angle. And I think that what really makes this kind of pixie pop and still is a little feminine. I've looked at a lot of pictures of Halle Berry's haircut and a lot of them will have a little bit of graduation here on the side. So, I'm going to start putting a little bit of graduation into it, but we have to be careful to not get too much weight stacking up so that it starts to look kind of frumpy. So, that determines I'm going to take a very broad stroke so that I can cut my shape and cut my length without building up a whole lot of weight. So, I'm going to take hold of this parallel and then my fingers will determine what angle of graduation that I'm going to start with. So, I'm going to start with something about there. And I'm going to take a very broad razor stroke all the way down and through. Now, at this point, I want to look at it and see how that's fitting in. I like the lengths of it, but I can tell already that it's going to start building up too much weight. So, as I start to go through, I may start doing some channel cutting to remove some of that weight. Our next section, which is parallel to that first section, comb this into the first section. Hold out from the head. Find the angle that I was working on before. There it is underneath. I can see that. Try to take a nice broad razor stroke like I was doing before. Cut that all the way down and through. And then check and see. And I think we've got a little too much length here on the top. So before I start going all the way through, I'm going to take some of that length off the top. And I think that that's looking better already. That's looking better. Now I'm gonna go through and put a little bit of delicate channeling through here to remove some of that weight and see how it's looking. There we go. I like that. Now we're going to take our next section which is going to be parallel. And I'm running that all the way down in through the nape. So I've got my first, second, now my third section. I'll remove the first section. Now I will have the second and third section. Hold that out. There's my guide from underneath. A nice broad stroke as we go down and through. That's looking pretty good. Now, right here, as I get to the middle of the ear, I can either choose to have more length down here on the bottom and make it kind of a waif-ish pixie, or I can fit this in really tight. Hold this parallel, same stroke, and cut this parallel to my parting. So, that's my parting. That's the line I'm cutting. Now, we're going to take our next section, which is going to be parallel to the same. And I'm going to keep working this same methodology until I get to the center back of the head. Now, we're going to take the last section right here, holding it out from the head with the previously cut section as my guide. Cut that down and through. And I like that. I'm going to take a little bit of channeling through here just to remove some weight and create a little separation. So now I'm going to go through and do the exact same thing on the other side.   Back Half of the Head All right. So I've gone through and separated the front half from the back half of the head. It's very important that I make this back half fit in and follow a head shape. If it starts to get too short, I'll make the head look flat in the back. And then that looks really ridiculous. And nobody wants to have a flat head. Take my center section. Now, when I hold this out from the head, I can see the angle of graduation that I already have here underneath. And I want to continue that up and bevel it out. Hold that out. There's my guide from underneath. A little bit longer as I start to go up. Once I go past one flat section, I will go to the next flat section. Hold that 90 degrees. There's my length. Continue that up. When I get to the top, all the way and through. Now, from here, I'm going to pivot from the center piece that I had up there and make a little pie section as I work around to the side. Hold these two together. There's my guide from underneath and follow the same shape that I was working on underneath as I work back up following my guideline.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Pivoting again. Remove the center guideline that I had. So now I only have section two and section three. Fold this up and out. There's my guide from underneath. Cut a little bit. Re-comb. Cut a little bit. Re-comb. Follow that all the way up to the very top. Then I'm just going to continue working this until I reach my quarter part. There's my guide from underneath and my previously cut guide.   The Top of the Head Now I'm going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. So, I'll take a horizontal section to my very first parting that I had, which separated the top from the bottom. I'm going to hold this out, determine the length from underneath, and then go through, lift this straight up and out. There's my guide from underneath, and continue the same broad stroke, holding this horizontally straight out from the head towards me. Not lowering my elevation to build up any weight but continuing this straight up. My next section's going to be parallel. Take my section underneath. Hold this straight out towards me. There's my guide underneath. And then go through and cut everything to blend. I could leave this longer if I was going for more of a Tinkerbell type of pixie or where she had more length on the top. You can take this parallel and make it all short on the top like some of a lot of her pictures were. We're going to make everything nice and short, but you could certainly go through and leave this a lot longer and disconnect it. A nice broad soft razor stroke as I'm working through there. And I'll go all the way till I reach the center of the head and hold everything straight out. Elevation coming towards me. Making sure that I'm not lowering my elevation. And keep everything nice and broad and soft. And so what that does is that also gives me a nice curved shape on the side of the head as well as the back of the head. All right, so we've got the underneath cut.   Removing Excess Length on the Top So now let's go through and take a center section and start dealing with our excess length on the top. I got my center section. And I'm going to hold that straight up in the air. There's my length from underneath. I'm going to turn the razor over and go through without moving my left hand. Just razor the top of that off. Keep a nice broad stroke and gradually increase the length as I go towards the front. There's my next piece. Let's get some of that hair out of the way. There's my guide. Now, at this point, the head is starting to curve, but I'm not curving with it. I'm continuing to go straight with it. That will leave me a little bit of extra length in the front that I can go through and fit that in later to make sure that the bang length is exactly the length that I want. I don't have to get it right right now. Now I'm going to take a parallel section walking to the left side. I'm going to comb the center section and this left section together. There's my guide from underneath. Let's go through. Cut that length. Working from back to front. Take my next parallel section. Comb that straight up. There's my guide from underneath. And as I start to get to the left side, you'll notice I'm running out of hair because I've already cut everything to blend in with the side. So, all I have to do is make sure I get the length on top, the length I want. And there's nothing else to blend through there. Perfect. So, now I'll go back to the center, find my original guide, which is right there, and then I'm going to add my next section, and do the same thing on the other side.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   The Bangs Now, let's go through and fit in our bang section. And I'm just going to take a horizontal section straight across from recession to recession. Take a little piece right here in the middle. A nice broad long stroke through there. I think a little more. A little more. We're going to make sure we get some good separation through there. And all I'm doing is looking at that center piece to see where that fits. And I think that that's going to be okay. Now, we're going to take our next piece next to it. I'm not picking up a guide. I'm just visually going to cut to try to fit this in in its area where it lives. So, I'm not using a guide other than just visually looking and seeing what looks right and pray a little bit and make sure I don't cut everything off completely. We're going to comb everything down. There's a little piece right there. Fit that in. Perfect. Right here. No guide. Just purely visually fitting this in around the front. Now we're going to take the next piece, comb this down. Anything that hangs over and looks too thick, I'm going to go through and fine-tune. Take a little bit of the weight out through there. A little bit here. I'm surface cutting right on the top. So, I cut the top layer shorter, not the underneath that I've already cut, just to see if anything hangs over. If something starts to get too thick like that, then I'll go through and start fine-tuning that as well to make sure I get my separation like I got underneath. I think the razor really lends itself to creating the perfect shape for this type of haircut because while it still gives it a strong shape, there's enough softness and separation and looseness to it that it can really look lived in and still remain very glamorous. So, let's blow it dry and see what we got.   Halle Berry Short Haircut Final Result Here's our end result. And I think that we got a really nice shape, especially around the crown, so you can get it short and full, but still have a nice pleasing head shape to it. I also think that we have a nice kind of soft perimeter shape around the edge. And on these mannequin heads and somebody with really thick pokey hair, this is kind of hard to achieve. So, you want to make sure that you compensate for however much inverted graduation that you put back here so that you leave a little bit of softness around the edges. We've got a nice little bit of graduation to it without it looking too bulky or too bowl-ly. And I think that looks pretty good. The bangs, you know, you can do so many different things with them. You kind of sweep them over, get them up out of the way. You know, you can have them kind of come down. whatever is your preference and whatever the style of Halle Berry pixie that you're going for.

We hope you learned how to use a razor for this Halle Berry cut. Check out our other tutorials for other short haircuts.   

If you're looking to create choppy layers for long hair, you'll want to go through this tutorial. Layered haircuts can come in various forms as not all layers are made the same. Choppy haircuts are hairstyles with a lot of separation which creates more distinct layers. These styles are trendy and have a more rock and roll feel. They work on short, medium and long length hair so the techniques described below apply to all lengths. Whether it's straight or wavy hair, choppy layered hairstyles can work for most hair types. Watch this long hair with choppy layers tutorial and follow along with the transcript.    Choppy Layers for Long Hair: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be doing a study on long hair choppy layers. But we don't want choppy layers like it was a mistake. We want choppy long layers that looks good, balanced, and creates a lot of texture. This haircut's all about getting separation and pieciness and getting that kind of lived-in layered feeling. So, we're going to show you how to section it. We're going to show you how to build the right texture by doing some deep channel cut with our razor. And we're going to show you how to do a nice little face framing around the front. So, we're going to start here working on our perimeter shape and the overall length of the whole haircut. Natural part to the occipital, occipital to the mastoid. And then we're going to section off a center section.   Channel Cutting the Perimeter I'm going to go through and use my Feather Styling Razor. And I'm using the limited edition wood look. I'm also using the R-Type Blade. And the R-Type Blade exposes more of the cutting blade so I can cut thicker sections of hair and it gives me a little bit more control. Now I'm taking horizontal sections and taking very very deep solid severe channels because I want this hair to separate. So I want to leave it a little longer than I think I need in order to give me the overall length that I want. Because I'm taking such severe channels out of it, it's going to make the ends look and appear a little bit thinner, which is going to make it appear a little bit shorter. So, cleaning up my shape there. Now, we're going to go through and take a parallel section as I work up the back of the head. So, every section is going to be parallel. And I'm going to start the exact same way. Start right in the center. Comb everything clean and then a very deep solid channel cut all the way through to force that separation, to force that texture to pop into these tendrils. If I take the channels much closer and much finer, I'm not going to see as much separation. It's going to diffuse the texture and I'm going to be more product dependent to get that separation. So here I'm just cleaning up a few pieces that got a little bit longer that I want to make sure that it's not sticking out too severely. So it looks like it's longer on one side than the other. And I'm just going to go through and follow the same methodology. The deeper the channel, the more hair I take. The stronger the gap becomes, the more separation that I force into each section. So, my layering that I'm doing here is really only going to be in the last six/eight inches of the hair and just following through exactly the same methodology to cut the entire perimeter shape to get the texture like I want. Sometimes the hair in the middle didn't reach so I'm not going to cut so much in the middle. Where it gets longer on the sides, I still want to get everything the same length all the way across. As I pull some of the neck sections down, there's not a whole lot of weight removal that needs to happen. So, I'm just taking off any kind of length that hangs over my perimeter shape to make sure we get the lengths the same. But then on the sides, it does need a little bit of weight removal and a little bit of channeling to make sure that the textures pop just like the center and the underneath sections.   Face Framing Now, we're going to move on to the front. And I'm going to take the first bump from the hairline and take that all the way to the top of the ear. That's going to section out where the hair falls in the face. Now I'm going to take a center section right where her hair parts. I'm going to pull that forward and that's going to be my length for her shortest layer around the front. I'm taking that little triangular section right where her hair separates and splits. Now I'll split that in half. I'll take the left and the right so I can have a guide for each side. Now here, working on the left side of her head, I will take a diagonal section, pull that over to the opposite side, and use my length from underneath to create a really steep angle for my shortest layer around the front where her bang section is to blend in with all the face framing that I'm going to start to introduce as I work into the sides. Now, the steeper that angle is, the faster the speed of movement that I create going from short to long. And just continuing that all the way down to the perimeter length that I have at the ear.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe, and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now, we're going to go through and do the exact same thing on the other side, but in the opposite way. So where on the left side I was pulling everything to the right, here on the right side I'm pulling everything to the left because I want that increase of length to force it out of her face right at the fringe bang section and then that blends into my face framing layers. Now I'm not going through and putting a lot of texture into this section because it's already a little bit finer and thinner. And if I need to create more channeling, then I'll do that where the sections get a little bit thicker. Check our lengths. They look pretty good. Now, we're just going to comb everything down. And anything that hangs over my face framing, I'm just going to cut that off. Now, I want to be mindful of my perimeter shape right at the ear section. So, when I worked on my perimeter in the back, I've cut everything all the way around, and now I'm working on my face framing. I want to make sure I don't cut that perimeter length right at the top of the ear. If I cut that, that shifts the weight behind the ear and it no longer hangs full around the front. So, still taking a long razor stroke to make sure that I have a nice soft texture to it. If the hair gets thicker, then we'll go through and channel it and make that a little bit lighter and thinner. Now, let's go through and work on some layering in the back of the head. And this is really what's going to make the haircut pop. Taking a triangular section right in the crown, hold the first section up. Find out where I want my layering to start. And then just like I did underneath, I'm going to go through and take some really deep, severe channels to force that hair to separate when it falls. And because I'm holding it straight up in the air, that's going to add layering to it as well and airiness and softness. So that deep channel will give me a little bit of weight. So when it falls, it pops. Now, here where the layering, I'm sorry, where the razoring stopped on the previous section is going to be the beginning of the razoring for the next section that I cut. And I'm still going to follow the same methodology I was doing before. We'll separate the right half of the back from the left half of the back. Hold that straight up using my guide from underneath to start the razoring. And still continuing that really severe deep razor channel. Just keep holding everything straight up, section by section by section, letting any kind of shorter hair underneath fall out. And there we see my guide from underneath. And I'll start the razoring as I go forward. Checking our razoring on the left side, seeing how it looks before we move on to the right. Now, we're going to follow through with the exact same thing we did on the left side. We're going to do on the right side. Where the razoring stopped from my previous section is where the razoring is going to start for the next section. So, I don't have to be real precise with this sort of layering because not only am I elevating it to the maximum elevation that I can get, which is going to remove the most weight, but because I'm using a razor and I'm going for a choppier look with this really deep kind of choppy channel cutting, it's going to blend smoothly throughout. You're not going to see any kind of real hardcore lumps. It's going to have a smooth gradation in my layering. But because I got that deep channel, it's going to pop out and be a choppy type of layering.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Check our layering. See how it looks. And I think it looks pretty good. I am going to remove a little bit more weight right through the center. I pulled everything up and I pulled everything down. So, I got a little bit of weight build up right in the middle part of the entire back of the head. So, I'm going to take a little bit more weight out through there. And I'm going to go through and continue on with the same sort of deep severe channeling that I was doing underneath just to make sure that we can get those layers to pop and separate like we want. And I want to be mindful of how I'm applying this channeling technique. Where the hair is thicker, I'm going to take a little bit more. Where it's thinner, I'm obviously going to take a little less because I want the weight distribution of her hair to be as consistent as possible.   Addressing the Top of the Head So, now we're going to move on to the top of the head and I'm going to take a parallel parting right to her natural part. I'm going to pull the hair up in the crown as my guide. And then I'm going to go through and channel it just like I was doing in the back on the side of the head to make sure that all the layering from the back blends into my face framing layering around the front. And then just continuing to channel that through and not trying to be real precise and real meticulous about this. This haircut demands a looseness, a fastness of the razor application, and I can't be real precise. This is more of a haircut about feeling. So, I want to make sure that I put that deep channel in it as consistent as possible throughout. Now, we're going to continue on the opposite side, pulling everything up. Anything that that hangs out, that doesn't look right, that doesn't feel right, I'm going to take a little bit of that out.   Blowdrying Now, let's go through and start to blow dry. And when I start blowing dry, I'm going to start right around the front. I'm going to pull everything forward, blow everything back so it kind of gets confused because I want this hair to have some volume, but I don't want it sticking straight out. So, I'm going to start at the bangs because that's the most important part of a blow dry is how it looks around the front. Now we're going to work in the back. I'm going to blow dry everything at the roots to get it off of the scalp so it has a natural fullness. And then I'm going to go through and polish it off from the mid-shaft and the ends with a little bit of a round brush. I want just enough bend to force the layers to kind of separate, but not so much that it starts to look real glamorous. Around the front, I'm pulling everything forward with a little bit of bend moving back away from the face. And then I'm gonna take a cold air shot and blow everything around to get some air in it so it has a more natural kind of look to it. After I got everything dry like I want, I'm going to put a little bit of styling cream on my hands and go through and just encourage those pieces to separate so we can really see our layering pop. And I think that that looks pretty good and everything's popping really, really well.   Final Look Here's our end result. And I think we're looking pretty good. I like the way that the texture really fits with her natural texture. And we got a lot of separation to it. So, this is a type of long choppy layers that still blends and doesn't look too chunky. You got the separation from all the layering in it. You got the pieciness from all that deep channel cutting. And the face framing lays perfect around the front. And this is not about being super smooth. It's about getting some pop from the layers. So, it looks a little lived in and a little more rock and roll than a glamour type of layering. So, I think it works really well and it fits on most types of hair. On all but the curliest types of hair this shape would work really, really well on. Please check out the Jatai Academy.

We have come to know and love Farrah Fawcett's iconic 70s feathered look. But it's 2025 and some of us want a modern take on the haircut. In this tutorial you'll learn how to cut Farrah Fawcett haircut with a razor for the modern times. 

In this Jennifer Lopez haircut tutorial we look at one of her many hair transformations and try to re-create it. JLo has long been known to try many different types of haircuts and hairstyles, both in her personal life and in movies. She has even experimented with hair color from blonde to brunette to black. In her latest movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Jennifer debuted a black pixie haircut and a Marilyn Monroe type curly hairstyle which just shows her versatility. Whether it's fashion week, a music video or awards show, this celebrity beauty knows how to change it up! For this particular haircut, Russell demonstrates Jennifer Lopez's Super Bowl bombshell haircut that exudes fullness, movement and face framing. Follow along with this tutorial and transcript below.   Jennifer Lopez Haircut Tutorial:   Welcome to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a deep dive study on JLo and how she styles her hair and when she gets that bombshell kind of look. We're going to show you how to get the texture right, how to get the layering right and how to make sure that you have that strong heavy solid bang that really makes it pop. Now to go through and do this particular type of shape that JLo tends to wear a lot, it's not so much that the hair is layered to get volume and fullness to it. It's kind of a throwback to old school hairdressing where they would cut length and then style it into shape. So in order to create this shape where it's just a natural lived in type of layering, we're going to go through and do some very very deep razoring and I'm going to use the brand new Feather Plier Razor in white. I love the white look. I think it's really eye-catching and unique. And I think this is going to be my new favorite. Now when I'm going through with this kind of retro type of razor cut I'm not focused so much on building a real solid shape. I'm focused more on getting the right amount of texture.   Establishing the Perimeter So I'm going to start with a pretty good gap. Start here short, go through work that all the way down to the tip and then cut that across. So the channels are a little further apart but they're real deep. Go through. Take these channels pretty deep and far apart and I'm not worried about making sure everything is perfect. This is an exercise in loosening up your haircutting. And I'm cutting visually more so than I'm cutting technically by building the shape in a structured way. So I'll take my next section down. I want to use enough hair that I feel like I have a good amount in my hand that it doesn't get real transparent and wispy but I don't want to have so much that it causes the razor any sort of difficulty being cut through. Take my next section, combing everything straight down. Pretty major gaps between my razor stroke. Check that. That's looking pretty good. And I want to make sure that I have texture in the very bottom of it. My next piece, there we go. Cut that down and through. And look at it and I think that that's looking pretty good. We got a little bit more weight over here so I'm going to take a little bit out. You can see how that's kind of clumping together a little more. So I'm going to take a little more out right through there and that's looking more symmetrical and more even across the entire shape. And I'm just going to take horizontal parallel sections until I get everything cut horizontally.   Creating Graduation and Internal Texturing Once that I feel like I have a solid enough perimeter shape as I work up the head, I'm going to start elevating each section so I can get a little bit of graduation in my internal layering that will prevent me from having to go back and remove a lot of length and a lot more texture in the perimeter length because I don't want this to bulk up. I want this to kind of dissipate into tendrils and if I hold everything straight down that's going to start building up a more solid shape. So I'm going to hold the section at that elevation. Let that hair underneath kind of fall out. Continue this real deep channeling as I go through. There's my elevation. There's my length guide from underneath.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Now since I'm doing this very fast and loose, there is going to become an opportunity for me to texturize one side a little bit more than the other side with each section that I go up, especially working from left to right. So if I happen to go through and layer one section a little bit more, take a little bit too much hair out, I'm not going to freak out about it. The next section I'll go, I'll leave it a little heavier and that's okay. So it's not about being precise and precision and perfect. It's about just creating a texture to it with that internal separation so I can have that shape and that length there to style it because this is about how you style it as much as it is what the shape of the cut is. When I need to fine-tune something, like say I got a little something here that doesn't hang quite like I want, when I need to fine-tune it, then I can go through, slow down, be real precise, take off just little bits to get the texture just like I want to get the lengths just like I want before I move on to the next shape. I'm going to go through and use a little bit of Blade Glide just to make sure I can keep a consistent level of wetness and also to make my razor glide through the hair as easy as possible. So by going through and putting in so much texture and so deeply, it gives me the illusion of the hair being layered even though technically it's not really layered. The shape is very much one length with a little bit of face framing layering going on around the front but you got to get the texture right so it takes a little bit of time to dial it in. That's where you're spending your time is making sure you get the textures right, the weight even and you get enough internal separation to start to really make that shape pop. Now let's go through after we finished all of that. I'm going to look and see how our shape is looking underneath on the bottom and I'm thinking that that's looking pretty good. It looks like we got some layering because we have all of that movement going through, but it's not actually layered. It's almost all one length and our basic shape with just this internal texture.   Face Framing Layers - Heavy Bangs Alright, so now let's move on to the front. Next section is going to be from the first bump of the head to the high point over the ear. Now I'm going to break this down a little bit further. I'm going to take from her natural part right to the corner of her eye which should be about the center of the recession. Section this out. I'll pin this out of the way. Now I'm going to go through and start my layering around the front. This is really the only, technically, the only part of the haircut that's going to be layered is this face framing around the front. Now most of the pictures that she has she has this real heavy kind of bang that flips or sometimes just kind of cups under and then it blends through the length on the sides with this face framing. So I'm going to start with my bang section and I'm going to take a center piece. I'm gonna look at this and see how much weight I want that to be split on each side and I think about a little bit more. So I'm going to go a little more there. Visually look at it. See where it falls. See how that shape is going to hit and now I'm gonna cut this section. Instead of cutting it at an angle to force it to flow, I want it to have that heavy solid almost disconnect from the rest of the layering. So I'm going to cut this straight across. I am going to use a razor so I have texture, but the line is technically going to be straight across. Right through there. After I got my channeling through it, I'm going to go through and blunten this shape up a little bit so I have... You can see very very plainly where I have my channeling that's going to cause that to separate, but then I cut it blunt right through there. So when I style this, this is going to have that strong heavy shape around the front. Here is where I'm going to start angling this down. So I have my next section there. I'll start here in the front, pull that forward and here where I start angling it into my face framing into the sides. After I get that we're going to make that pop a little more like that. Same thing on the other side. Now we're going to take the rest of this hair here. This section here is all the hair that has the ability and the tendency to fall in the face. I am going to elevate so I have some of the airiness of this face framing. There's my short piece. A nice sharp blade makes this very very easy work to go from short down to my length without any hassles and I end up with this nice easy airy blend. Same thing on the other side. The shorter the stroke, the more solid my shape becomes. The longer the stroke, the softer and the airier it's going to be. So if I have a piece that's not hanging like I want and I want to put more control in it, like this little area here, I'll take a shorter stroke to help force that to curve into the shape that I'm going for. Looking good. Now on my next section here I am going to hold this down because I want a clear separation between the front being airy transitioning into my sides. And there shouldn't be a whole lot of hair here that needs to be cut. There we go.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Same thing on the other side. And I think that that's looking pretty good. We have this nice heavy solid front layer and then it goes into blending in with the sides. We got a nice texture through it and I think we're looking pretty good for the overall basic shape. Now let's go through and blow it dry see what we got.   Jennifer Lopez Haircut Final Look A little bit of hairspray on you girl. Get you ready for Hollywood! I like it. I think we got the right texture. I think that the shape really lends itself to being able to style it in a lot of different ways and when you have a shape that doesn't have a real solid structure, it enables it to absorb whatever type of styling that you want to put into it. It's very very versatile. And especially if you want to add any kind of extensions or wefts or anything like that into this it will blend in very very easily, much more so than if you had a very very structured shape done with scissors.

Learn how to create a Linda Evangelista short haircut that she made famous in the 1990's. One of the most well-known models at the time among Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford, she had a vibrant career and earned celebrity status for her modeling. One of the most important contributions she made in the fashion world is her iconic short haircut. Photographer Peter Lindbergh suggested she get a short haircut and in 1988 she chopped it off in a bold move that shocked the industry. Hairstylist Julien d'Ys created the iconic pixie that soon gained popularity shortly after. Her style was broadcasted all over the news and media outlets, including popular print magazines such as Vogue. Linda Evangelista has sported many long and short hairstyles over the years, but the short crop pixie made the biggest impact in the hair world in the late 80s and early 90s. Today short haircuts are popular among women, but Linda's has maintained a timeless essence which exudes beauty in any era. Watch this tutorial and follow along with the transcript.   Linda Evangelista Short Haircut Tutorial: Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes Director of Content and today we're going to be doing a study of the Linda Evangelista pixie cut, one of the most iconic haircuts of any fashion era. And we're going to study what makes it great, what makes it work, how to remove enough weight to where it fits in nice and tight but still have some length and that was really her signature. It was short but she still had length. She's had thickness and it was solid, but it wasn't too bulky. It still had softness and movement. So let's see how we can do that. Let's get started.   Sectioning I want to take my first section which is going to separate the top of the hair from the bottom. The bottom we're going to fit in real nice and tight. The top we're going to leave a little longer. We're going to take the center of the recession to the quarter part, quarter part down and then we're going to bevel that out as opposed to just going to a point. I want to bevel this out just to make it flow a little bit better in the back of the head. I'll take an angled section right here at the front. I'm going to go through and use my Feather Styling Razor. This is the wood-look option which is my favorite right now. It's a limited edition so get it while you can. I'm going to take this first section. I'm going to pull perpendicular to my parting. So T to the parting. Now most of Linda Evangelista's pixies were longer in the front about the center of her nose that she would kind of texturize and swift one way or the other.   Cutting the Sides So I'm going to pull this forward. I'm going to plant my knuckles and then angle my fingers to get that length right at about the center of her nose and then we're going to go through and cut that back towards the ear. I'll take my next section. This is going to be a parallel section to my first that I just cut. We're going to comb this out of the way. I'm going to take this section. I'm going to pull it forward the same but where this is going to differ is that I'm not pulling it straight forward flat to the head. I'm going to slightly elevate it. So I'm going off the curvature of the head as I work this back. An easy way to determine that is I just lay the comb right at the parting and it will show me what elevation I take as I go towards the back. That's going to give me a curved line going from the front to the back. Again pull this out, find my line. There's my guide. Try to take the same broad razor stroke that I was taking before. Cut that down and through. The next section parallel all the way down into the nape. Now the number of sections that you're going to take is going to be determined by how big the person's head is. The bigger the head, the more sections you're going to take. The smaller the head, the fewer sections you'll take. Pick up my previously cut guide. Pull out the first. Find the right elevation. Find the right angle. Cut that back towards the ear. Once I get to the ear I'm no longer going to work that all the way in. I'm going to start taking this section parallel to the head, parallel to my parting. So the parting up here was at an angle. Once it hits the ear, now it becomes parallel to the section. Continue my next section. Pull this forward. There's my angle. I got the right elevation. Lift that up and through once I come into the nape parallel to my parting. So I start to build up weight here on top of the ear and then it starts to become much more even in its weight distribution as I get down to the nape. And I will continue this until I get all the way just past center. Next section, since I don't have any hair above where the ear is this is all going to be parallel, parallel to the parting and also following my previously cut guide. There's my length. Nice. Very nice. It's taking me back. I've got George Michael playing in my head. Now we're going to go through and do the same thing to the other side. To make sure that I keep my moisture content the same on both sides. I'm going to be using Jatai Blade Glide. This is going to give me the ability to keep my moisture consistent on both sides. It compacts the cuticle and makes it a lot easier to cut with the razor. I'm just going to go through and take a parallel section to my previous guide which is going to be like that. So now from here I know that I'm going about to the bridge of the nose so I'll pull this out. I'll rock it to where I have about that elevation into it. There's my guide from underneath. Go through. Take that length off. Same thing as I work from the front to the back. Get my elevation right, a nice broad razor stroke following my guide from underneath as I work all the way into the back of the head. Now I'm going to take a parallel section about the same thickness from front all the way to the back. If I need to add a little moisture I'll hit it with a little Blade Glide. Perfect.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   There's my guide. Nice broad razor stroke so I don't build up weight but I do build up length. There's the next nice broad stroke. If I need to have them tilt their head down there's my guide from underneath. Cut that down and through. Next section and I'm going to continue with this method until I get slightly over the center top of the head. Find the right elevation. There's my guide from underneath until I work all the way into the nape. That looks pretty good. Now I'm going to go through and do the same thing to the other side. Uh I think we've got a little too much length in the front so I'm going to take a little bit off right in the middle so that'll be easy. Just take a parallel section there. Yeah we got the sides fine. It's just right in the middle I'm not a fan of so we're going to go through, take that and bevel that shape from the sides into and around the front. There we go.   Cutting the Top Now to control this kind of point on top it's very easy. It's going to be very simple. I'm going to take a center mohawk section. So I've got my center section here on top. What I want to do is go through and remove this corner that I have on top by pulling it left and right, front and back. The way I'm going to do that is I'm going to hold this and cut just like this. I'm going to flick some of this length off by using my thumb against the back of the spine of the razor. I'm not laying it on the actual blade. I'm laying it on the back of the razor putting the hair and then pulling the blade out that will take any kind of length that hangs off over where I push that end of the blade off. Very little, if anything, right through here. Yeah, very little. If I feel like the hair is too thick, then the way I'm going to remove some weight is not by channel cutting because I don't want to introduce any separation and any sort of movement. I want to keep this a very neutral shape. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to pull out a section very easy and then just lay the blade directly flat across the entire section and fillet some of that weight out of it just like I'm filleting a fish, filleting some sushi. Take a little bit of that weight out and that will remove the weight without changing the shape or putting channel separation into it. We're going to continue this on the top all over and just take a little bit of that weight out just gently lay the blade against the hair and then start to rock the blade until it starts to cut. Once it starts cutting, I'll leave it at that angle. Boom very quick, very easy, very very light. I don't want to get heavy with this razor especially on blonde hair because it will flat cut it off quick because blonde hair tends to be a little delicate, so I need to respect that.   Give us a thumbs up, click the notification bell and subscribe for future Jatai Academy content.   I like this. I think we got the basic shape into it so now let's go through and blow it dry and see what our end results are.   Final Linda Evangelista Short Haircut Pixie Look So here's our end result of the Linda Evangelista haircut and I think we got the texture right which I think is the hardest thing when you're working on mannequin hair or hair that's been bleached like our inspiration picture where you got to get it soft enough thinned out enough without getting wispy and I think by laying our razor flat against the section, that really generates that type of texture and that type of shape. We got a solid shape. We got a little bit of fullness all the way around. Very very iconic of when she was doing the George Michael video with when she had her short pixie kind of hair. I like it a lot. I think that this works really really well. So couple of things to remember: pull your sections forward, angle your fingers so you leave more weight right here around the front and then you're tapering it into the back. Also, gently fillet with the razor across each section to remove as much weight as required. Let us know what you'd like to see in the future and please check out the Jatai Academy.

In this tutorial we explore Lily Collins hair when it was short, similar to how hairstylist Gregory Russell Cut her hair for the Calvin Klein campaign. While we are more familiar with the Emily in Paris stars' long hair with curtain bangs, her short blunt bob is a testament to her more mature and sophisticated side. We demonstrate Lily Collins' beauty and style with this red carpet timeless haircut. Follow along with the video tutorial and transcript below.   Lily Collins Hair Tutorial: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a one-length bob. But we're not going to do an old-fashioned grandma one length bob. We're going to do something young and cool. We're going to use celebrity Lily Collins as our inspiration. She has this cool one length bob that still maintains the essence of the shape but because it's done with the razor it keeps it modern and fresh and softer and a little bit easier to live with. So let's get started. Alright. So we're going to start by taking a center part or a natural part. Hers is slightly off center, but it's pretty much very very close down the middle. We're going to go to the occipital bone to the mastoid and then I'm going to split that flat section in half so that I have enough hair that I can start to develop my shape but not so much that it starts to clog up my razor.   The Limited Edition Wood-Look Feather Styling Razor I'm going to use my Limited Edition Wood-Look Feather Styling Razor. Now this is in celebration of Jatai's 75th Anniversary and there's only a limited number of these being made. While the handle is not wood, every handle is going to be individual because the wood grains are going to be different, the color variations are going to change from handle to handle. And so once they're gone they're gone. They're not going to make it again and you can buy this individually with just one blade or you can buy it in a kit with a pack of blades and the other accessories that go along with it. And also don't use alcohol-based disinfectants because it can affect the wood look finish.   Creating a Solid Blunt Shape Now we're going to go through and start with our razor bob and the thing that I want to pay attention to that makes this bob modern that Lily's wearing is that the texture is just in the tips. There's not a whole lot of texture that's going to modify the shape and make it piecey. So we want to keep this as solid as possible. So I'm going to hold everything, comb clean straight down. I'm going to find where I want my length at and then I'll put the razor in and I will very gently move this up and down just about a sixteenth of an inch so I can still keep that a very solid blunt shape. We're going to take our next section. Whatever my line is that I parted is going to be the line that I cut in it because I want this to be a little longer in the front. Cutting that down and through. Following my parting on the opposite side, there's my line. We're going to go through. Gently cut that off. Now you want a sharp blade. If you don't have a sharp blade you're going to start trying to saw the hair off. And the more that you're trying to saw the hair off, the more texture that you're going to put in it. Remember I want to keep as little texture in this razor bob as possible and that's what keeps it looking really modern and very very chic. There's my line underneath. I'll lay the razor right on top of it and just about a 16th of an inch razor stroke and cut that straight across. That way I concentrate the texturizing just in the very tips. If I'm working on a model that has very very thick hair and I still want to go through and do this shape, I may run into a situation where I start to build up too much weight and then it starts to look broom-like. So if that happens, then what I'll do is every other section I'll take a broader stroke to remove more weight. But then on every other section I will go through and cut very very blunt like this as much and as blunt as possible to make sure I have that solid line. Now I'll go through. Check this out. We're shorter in the middle, a little bit longer towards the front. So once we got our baseline in, we're going to continue on following the same pattern. Now as my first section was the occipital mastoid, now I'm going to go two flat sections where the head is flat, where the head is flat, right to the top of the ear and that should give me exactly the same angle (the same line) that I was doing underneath. So this line should match that line and then I will take this and split it in half and there's my next section. Pin that out of the way.   Moving Up the Head Now as I start to move up the head, if I feel that the hair is starting to lack a little moisture, I'm going to use my Jatai Blade Glide just to give me a consistency with the dampness. Also, it's going to constrict the cuticle and make my razor cut easier and cleaner. We're going to move on to the next section. I want to maintain zero elevation with my fingers being the only graduation that I get. The only elevation is from this middle finger, but everything else wants to be as flat to the head as possible and I want to keep my razor at a 45 ° angle. I'm not laying it perpendicular to the hair. I want to keep a 45 ° angle as I'm cutting. So I'll put the blade in, angle it at 45 right through there on top of my previously cut guide and cut that down and through. Keep everything T to my parting. There's my line. Cut that through. Check and see how the length is. I think that length is going to be just fine. Continue that through. Now by me laying the blade flat against the hair and cutting everything one length I'm not introducing any kind of movement to this cut or this shape at all. Everything is going to be solid and blunt. I'm trying to apply as much precision to this as I possibly can even though I'm using a soft cut tool where it's not giving me a precision cut like a scissor would. I still want to use the technique and the methodology to make this as precise as possible. So when I'm combing I'm working on flat sections of head. I'm combing from the root clean all the way down and through creating just enough tension to hold the section tight but not so much that I'm stretching it. Laying the razor against that parting right there, cutting that straight across. There's my line. Cut that down and through. Next section, keep everything combed as clean from the parting all the way through to my fingers as possible cutting that straight across. I think with it being a little longer in the front, we have shunned that shape for so long that now when we see it being a little longer in the front it looks fresh again. Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Now when I come over the ear, since I have to maintain tension on the hair, I'm just going to comb everything into my hand using the comb as the maximum amount of tension that I'll use. I'll plant my fingers. There's my guide from the back and then continue that down and through. I can't go through and do any sort of little tricks as far as making sure I don't cut a hole in it over the ear other than using the least amount of tension as possible. And we have a nice little line that's building up a little length there in the front. And we're going to do the same thing on the other side. Taking my time and making sure everything is combed as clean as possible all the way down. Cut that through. There's my line. Cut that through. Perfect. Looking good. Alright. Let's check our lengths out. I think we're looking pretty good through there. So we've got our basic shape in. Now remember, if the hair was overly thick I could razor in between sections to remove that kind of broom effect that I may get. Let's blow it dry, take a look and see what we got.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   The End Result of this Lily Collins Hair Tutorial So here's our end result and I think we're looking pretty good. I mean this is more of a less uptight kind of bob you know and that's what makes it modern is that we still have this solid bob shape, but it's got that little pieciness on the ends that make it look like it's grown out a little bit and keeps it from looking really stuffy and too perfect. And I think that because it has that kind of softness and that kind of tattered edge to it it gives it something really interesting to look at and it catches your eye more than just a real blunt cut bob. Please check out the Jatai Academy. There's all kinds of fantastic information on there that will make you a better hair stylist and barber. Also let us know what you'd like to see in the future and once again thank you so much for watching. We'll see you next time. Lily Collins hair bob is classic and sophisticated. The timeless look defies hair trends and is perfect for any lifestyle. No matter the season, the one length bob will never lose popularity. Tutorial

In this long layers razor cut tutorial, you'll learn how to cut layers with a Feather Plier Razor, an unguarded razor. Razored haircuts for long hair are popular styles that give volume, dimension and a lived-in look. Razored long hairstyles can be created with a guarded razor as well, but here we take a look at using the premium Plier! A razor haircut for long hair is perfect for women who like movement in their hair, feel their hair is too heavy and need weight removal. Razored layers tend to grow out nicely and you can go for long periods of time before needing to get another haircut. Follow along with this tutorial and the transcript below.   Long Layers Razor Cut Tutorial:   Welcome to Jatai Academy. You have fear of using a razor. You have a fear of using it on long hair. Are you afraid you're going to just take out too much and it's just going to be a stringy mess? I'm going to solve all those problems today. We're going to show you how to control how much weight you're taking out. We're going to show you how deep that you want to go through and add your texture and also how to add detail and make it the perfect amount of texture internally without layering. So let's get started. Starting off razoring long hair, there's a couple of key points that you really need to pay attention to to make it to where you're not fighting yourself and causing more harm and damage than good. We want a soft wispy separated shape and there's a key technique that we're going to show you on how to get that, but first thing let's cover how to hold the razor.   The Feather Plier Razor We're going to use the Feather Plier Razor. This is a razor that does not have a guard. The reason it doesn't have a guard is so it allows me to fine-tune my shape a lot more and also I can be much more precise with where I take weight out. Alright, so I'm going to take my razor where the black handle is. I'm going to put between my forefinger and my middle finger like this. Now I'm going to push the blade away from my palm, clasp my thumb around, rotate my fingers around like this and then I can use just my finger to create motion. I can also use my wrist. And if I'm taking broad strokes I'll use my elbow. When I go and take a section, it can't be too thick. If the section's too thick, the razor can't handle that much hair and it's going to end up pushing it out of the blade and you're going to end up with a really inconsistent cut. I think that's one of the biggest mistakes people make is they take too much hair and a blade that's not sharp enough.   Establishing the Perimeter & Creating Separation So now I'm going to comb everything straight down. The third thing I want to pay attention to is the length of the hair. I don't want to razor it more than about halfway. That's going to be a lot on long hair. So I'm going to keep my razoring to the bottom third. Now if I want I can go through and start razoring my length off or I can start channeling it or I can do both at the same time. I can channel and cut length at the same time. Comb everything straight down, put the blade in about a third of the way down through and then cut my length off. Keeping in mind that I want to create a lot of softness and a lot of separation in the texture. I'm not worried about the line being perfectly blunt cut. I'm not worried about that precision. I want texture. So pay attention to the texture more so than the overall length sure. I want to make sure it's even on both sides, but I'm not going to be real fine-tuned and OCD about making sure the line's perfect. Move on to the other side. Cut my channel through. There's my length. Cut the length off at the same time. There we go. Now I'm going to go through on the other side, cut my channel, cut my channel, cut my channel and then cut my length. Now when I first start using the razor especially a guardless razor, if I'm using one with a guard it's no problem. But a guardless razor as I go through and take sections, I will close the blade so I don't risk cutting myself as I go through and start pulling down other sections of hair. Then, when I'm ready, reopen the blade back in and we're ready to go. Next section. I'm holding everything straight down, following through, getting my channel and then if there's anything on the length, cut that length off. This can move pretty rapidly once you get a good rhythm going and you get a good methodology and you get a good approach. There's a little bit right there. We're going to take just that off a little bit and we're looking good. This is what I'm looking for is this separation on the bottom. Moving Up the Head Now as I move up the head and I move into the next section I'm going to be mindful to not pick up the hair that I've already cut underneath. I don't want to go through and continue to razor the underneath hair. It's already perfect like it is. So I'm only going to go through and razor the hair above it so I don't end up cutting more off than I want to. So I'll separate that completely and visually guess where that overall length is. It's pretty easy to see we're about right there. Now we'll go through put our channels into it very very deep and pretty strong and then guesstimate at where that overall length is going to be. It does not have to be perfect, but I do want to make sure that I keep my next section out of the underneath section when I comb that down. There's my overall length. Let's go through channel some of that hair out. Now this works really well on hair that's overly thick and doesn't have a whole lot of movement to it. If she had very very fine hair I would not go through and channel as deep as I am on this particular head of hair. There's my length. Cut that down and through. And then cut my length off. That's looking pretty good. Now what I find is if I go through and don't separate the hair underneath, what ends up happening is the hair on top feels overly thick compared to the hair underneath. I feel like I start missing the weight of this perimeter weight line underneath. So this is just a safety net to prevent me from over thinning that. An easy way to make sure I don't pick up the hair underneath I can just take a clip and then another clip and then when this hair lays on top of it I don't have to worry about it. It's not so easy to pick up. My next section. And I'm going to continue on with this methodology until I've cut the entire perimeter shape.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather I'm coming into my last section here. And another variation of this technique that I'm going to show you is if the hair already has enough separation on the bottom and I just want to remove thickness, then what I'll do is I will thin it just like I was doing before. But instead of running all the way through to the tip, I'm only going to do a little bit about halfway. So that way I can remove the weight without removing so much weight on the ends as if I was to go all the way down the section. If I already feel that I have enough separation, then that's fine. Just doing a little bit right in the middle of the section is enough to remove the weight and balance out the weight throughout the rest of the haircut without making the ends way too wispy. Cutting the Front of the Long Layers Razor Cut When I come around the front it's quite a balancing act between putting enough texturizing in to soften it and keep the edges real wispy and piecey but not so much so that you have a bunch of little baby wisps of layers happening underneath when I start to blow this back I end up with these little sprouts that stick out. So what I'll do there is I'll take my center section. I will go through and do the same sort of thing. But on the right side since I want the movement to go to the right and I want to layer underneath a little bit less, I'm going to focus more on the surface of the section as opposed to going just straight in and channeling it. So instead of just going straight in and channeling I'm focusing more on the surface layer with steps in between. That way I can start to remove the weight without any little stubs sticking straight up in the air. And then to make sure I get the length going I'll start shorter in the center and build up some texture and length going to the right and then going to the left. If I feel like I need to take a little more weight out, I'm going to do the same thing. I'm going to fillet this off so I hit the surface of the section not the underneath of the section. That is most important just around the bang area. The rest of it you can go through and do whatever you' like. Either way works just fine. Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content. My next section here and this should be pretty much it just a formality to make sure nothing really hangs over the sides. Again roll down. There's a little weight right through there so we're going to filet that off. After I finish on both sides I'm going to go through and blow her dry so we can see the results. The End Result of the Long Layers Razor Cut Here's our end result of this razor cut for long hair and I think we're looking pretty good. And the whole point of this video of using a razor on long hair was to demonstrate that it's not just for short hair. I mean some people are scared of the razor you know. They're afraid to cut any kind of long hair with it and you can use it on long hair to great effect in the right way. So we don't go more than half the depth of the hair. We pay attention to how much of the ends that we're taking out to get our pieciness. And we don't cut the underneath hair as our guide in each section as we go up. And that all gives you a much better result like this. And I think she looks pretty good. I think we got a nice texture to it and this is without any kind of layering at all. You get all of this separation and this faux layering just by doing that deep channeling and by going through and putting that invisible kind of layer through it. I hope you learned something about how to razor cut long hair. So anyway check out the Jatai Academy.

When you razor cut long hair, it's important to use techniques that are applicable to the client's hair density and thickness. This long razor cut hair is perfect for many women that's timeless and classic.   Tutorial

One of the most iconic long hairstyles is the retro 70s feathered haircut. Reminiscent of Farrah Fawcett's style, this look has lots of volume with or without feathered bangs. Using a round brush or curling iron to create the iconic face framing curls and style feathered hair, this look is a type of cut that has lived on for decades. Watch this 70s feathered hair tutorial and follow along with the transcript below.   70s Feathered Haircut Tutorial: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a study of 70s feathered layering. We're going to modernize it using the Feather Plier Razor and I'm going to show you all the key points, how to make it move, how to make it flow, how to make it piecey. So let's get started. To go through and start I'm going to take a natural or center part to the crown, the crown to the occipital bone, occipital bone down to the center of the spine, occipital bone to the mastoid, which is that bump right behind each of the ears. I'm going split this section in half because it's a lot of hair and I can't deal with that much hair at one time. I want to go through and establish my baseline of length.   Establishing the Perimeter of this 70s Feather Haircut Now she has a lot of hair and it's very thick and I want to keep it that way, but I do want the ends to be soft and airy and light. The classical way of doing a feathered haircut is you cut everything blunt and then you hit the ends with a thinning scissor. I'm going to get a similar result by using my Feather Plier Razor. It is a guardless razor and it will give me the cleanest cut of any of my razor tools that I have. So I'm going to start right here in the middle, comb everything clean from the roots all the way down to where I want my overall length to be and then we're going to go through and with a pretty broad stroke cut my overall length. This is going to give me a little flicky separation on the ends without a lot of weight on the ends, but it's still going to be a solid shape because I'm not going through and doing a lot of internal texturizing. We're going to take our next section, bring this straight down. My fingers will run slightly past where I cut previously and then try to keep the same sort of razor stroke all the way through. We're going to do the last section on the left side. And here I'll start on the inside. Try to keep the same razor stroke. And you'll notice I keep this hand perfectly still. So once I plant my fingers this hand does not move, only the razor moves. I want a nice clean cut line. Now we're going to take the next section. Bring this down. Start right in the middle. Comb this clean all the way from the roots down through the ends. There is my guide that I'm cutting to. Open my razor. Cut on top of my guide as closely as you can. Now the shape of this is going to be very very soft. So I'm not worried about everything being exactly perfectly on top of. As long as it's in the general vicinity of where my previously cut guide was, I'll be fine. There we go. Here's my guide. Cut that across. Check that. We got a few little pieces there. And now we'll go through and check and make sure it's similar in length on each side and I don't have any long little pieces that I missed. And I'm liking that and that's looking pretty good except for that. There we go. That's looking pretty good. Now I'm going to continue on doing the same method of just taking parallel sections all the way up the head until I've cut everything the same length. Going to go through and finish our last section here and just make sure there's no long little pieces hanging over. Try to keep everything combed to the same area that I was combing it in before with my underneath sections. Meaning that if I combed everything at an angle and I was holding everything parallel to my parting, I want to make sure that each section is being held in exactly the same spot that the previously cut sections were so that I don't end up pulling one section too far forward or another section too far back. Not much to cut here, but just making sure everything blends perfectly.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Creating the 70s Feathered Layering So now to go through and work on my layering, I'm going to go through and take a section where it's one flat section, two flat section, the third flat section right here down to the corner of the eyebrow. That's going to give me a pretty steep little angle here. I want to make my partings match the bone structures of the head so that it's easier for me to match the left side to the right side. If I'm going off bone structure and not just randomly guessing it's easier for me to be more precise about my partings. Okay so now from here I'm going to comb everything T to my parting and pull this forward. And this part is going to be my shortest piece right through here. So I want to kind of visualize where that's going to fall and I'm thinking probably about to her chin is a good length. Pull this forward, visualize where that short piece is going to be, comb it off the peak curvature of the head and then cut from the center forward. So what this is going to do is this is instantly going to build this same steep angle into my section that I cut and it's going to start forcing the hair to feather back. And since I'm holding it up at elevation it's going to layer that and keep it light and airy. Now the next section I'm going to go through is going to be parallel. I'll take a flat section parallel to the previously cut section. Make sure that that parting looks the same. Now from here it's going to start to get tricky because I want to elevate off of the peak curvature of the head. So the first section is showing me to hold it there. The next section is showing me to hold it here. The one after that will be here. So each time as I go further and further back I get more and more elevation. So I'll section here. I'm going to pick up all my sections of hair making sure that I don't pick up any hair from the opposite side of the head. I want to make sure that this is pinned down, that I can't pick any of that up. Because if I pick that up it's going to end up getting short in a hole on the other side. There's my previously cut guide. There's my razor. Keep the same broad razor stroke so I can keep the same sort of texture throughout. Following the curvature of the head and cutting that down and through. Check that and you can start to see I'm getting a real steep angle and everything's already starting to move and feather back. Next section parallel to the previously cut section. Now as I start to go back it's easier for me to tilt her head down and continue my line going back than it is for me to try to over elevate. There's my guide from underneath. Remove some of that. I can't handle all that hair at the same time. Bring that out and through. There's my guide from underneath. Cut that down and through. It's important to keep my partings as parallel and as even as possible. Now we're starting to elevate more. Tilt the head down a little bit more. There's my elevation. Pick up my razor. There's my guide from underneath. Cut that down and through. Down and through. You can see I'm starting to run out of hair as I reach the perimeter over the ear. Cut that down and through. Remove some of that. My next section going off continuing off the peak curvature of the head and you can see I'm starting to really run out of hair as I reach the top of the ear.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Next piece. There we go. Got just a little bit right there and the crown and I bet as I work here to the sides there's going to be little to no hair to cut. And there we go. So now let's go through and do the exact same thing on the other side. Alright, here's our end result of our cut. We've got a lot of layering concentrated here around the bang area and the front top of the head. It blends through, but it still maintains a really solid shape here on the bottom and it allows that lightness of the layering to feather back while still maintaining that shape. So let's go through and blow it dry and then we'll see what we got.   70s Feathered Haircut End Result Here is our end result. And I think that we really captured you know the essence of what a feathered hairstyle was and that's light and airy layering around the front gradually getting more solid in the back with a real solid shape back here on the perimeter line and light airy feathered layers around the front view. And by elevating everything and pulling it forward and going off the head shape that really helps release the weight and then combining that with a more modern approach of using the Feather Plier Razor that keeps me very light and airy in my layering but still helps me build up a nice solid shape. And I think that she looks pretty good. I like it a lot. Note: Her hair color is light, but this will work on darker hair colors as well. Check out the Jatai Academy.

In this tutorial, Russell Mayes Director of Content for Jatai, demonstrates how to create Kourtney Kardashian long hair. She wore this style before she cut it into her more popular bob shape. Kourtney Kardashian has had many hair looks over the years. From short hair to long, blonde to dark, blunt cut to soft cut, styled ponytails and more, Kourtney has shown she is a fashionista. But you won't usually see Kourtney Kardashian bangs. Just take quick look at her Instagram profile @kourtneykardash and you'll see many posts with different hair styling. Kardashian hair, whether it be Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian or the Jenner sisters, is always thick and healthy. Hair care is an important part of being able to carry different looks. Watch this tutorial and learn how to create Kourtney Kardashian's long hair look and follow along with the transcript.   Kourtney Kardashian Long Hair Tutorial: Welcome to Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be doing a study on Kourtney Kardashian's hair before she cut it off into a bob. So we're going to get the texture right. We're going to get the lengths right. We're going to get the styles right. So let's get started. Now the thing with Kourtney Kardashian's hair is she's got a lot of hair. It's very thick and the thing that's remained constant through all of her hairstyles or through the majority of them is that the root of it has always been very very solid and full and thick. And the ends of it have been very airy and wispy and light. So that's what we're going to focus on today is how to maintain a very solid shape from the center half up and then maintaining a very light airy shape on the bottom.   Kourtney Kardashian Long Hair - Razoring the Bottom So I'm going to go through and use my Feather Styling Razor to create that effect. I'm going to take a natural or center part. Now with this haircut it's going to focus mostly on the texture of it and less on the overall style and shape of the haircut. So we got our first section of the nape, occipital to the mastoid. This just gives us our baseline that we can build our length and shape off of. So I'm going to start right in the middle. So instead of going through and cutting a baseline and then trying to texturize it, I'm going to do everything at the same time. So I figure I want to go about right here and I want to start maybe not quite halfway but certainly fairly deep in and then start channel cutting that all the way down to the tip of my fingers. So we're going to start and just real gently go through and take a nice wispy angle and I'm not moving my left hand at all. I'm keeping that the same so that way I know that is going to be my length overall and then putting that texture in just the bottom is going to make each of these little pieces here separate. I'll take a small little piece as my guide, comb this straight down. There's my guide right there. So I'm going to plant my fingers and now go through and cut me a nice little soft wisp. I want to try to be consistent with the thickness of my wisps that I'm cutting and the angles that I'm doing but there's obviously going to be some variation to that and that's okay. We're going to continue on the other side. Comb this straight down, plant my fingers right where my guide is and then once I get to my fingertips there that's going to be my length. I'll cut that off. Right through there. Right through there. Parallel to the previously cut section.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Alright, so I've got my next section here and I want to be conscious of the hair that I've cut before my previously cut section. I don't want to go through and re-thin that every time because I'm doing a channel cut and there's a possibility that I can cut that again. So what I'll do is I'll remove that out of my hand. I'll take the next section comb it down. There's my previously cut section. So now I have where the guide was but it's not in my hand and I can get close enough to the overall length and then go through and do the exact same methodology that I was doing before with this really really deep channel. So now when I combine those together I still have a nice soft texture and I don't re-thin the previously cut section. I have my next section. Let's go through and remove the previously cut section. There is my guide from underneath. Comb this straight down without picking up the hair from underneath just using that as a visual guide and then going through and doing my deep channel to cut my length and to cut my texture at the same time. Same thing on the other side. I want to remove the previously cut hair, comb my neck section down. There's my guide length. Then go through with my deep channel. Vary it up a little bit according to the thickness of the hair. If the hair is really thick I may take the channel a little bit deeper. If it's thinner maybe a little bit less. Take my next section, hold that straight down. Then with my Feather Styling Razor, deep channel cut all the way to the perimeter length. Now as I come into the side since I don't have any previously cut hair underneath I'll take a small piece from the back as my length guide, comb that straight down. There's my length from the back. Then we'll go through channel that through and down, down and through. Perfect. Same thing on the other side. Okay so here is my last section on the left side. We'll pin that out of the way there. Comb everything down and through. Try not to pick up any of my previously cut hair. There's my guide length. Not a whole lot of hair here to cut but I still want to maintain the same sort of texture. So even though I'm not cutting a lot of hair off right through here, here I am but through there I'm not cutting a lot of hair off. I still want to maintain the same sort of textures so that everything flows together evenly. There's my length. This is probably the most solid section of the whole haircut that she has. So let's go through. Oops! I cut a little bit too much off there but that's okay. That's okay. There we go. Perfect. Now that we've got our perimeter shape done, I want to go through and lighten a little bit of layering just around the front to help it get out of her face a little bit.   Face Framing Layers So we're going to go through and take a section from the first bump of the head to the high point of the ear. Same thing on the other side here. Alright. So I have everything that has the tendency to fall in her face and I'm going to start right in the middle. So I'm not trying to cut this too short. I want to go through and keep this fairly long, but I just want to start to put an etching in to help get this back out of the face. So I'll start right in the middle, work to the right, right in the middle and work to the left. So this is going to be my shortest layer for both sides. So now I'll take this right side, comb everything straight down. There's my guide length. So now we're going to go through and real gently, evenly with care and love and sweetness and tenderness cut that all the way down. So I'm cutting a real steep angle going down. I'll take the hair behind it, comb all of that straight down. There might be a little bit that hangs over right here on the bottom.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   And that's basically the only part of layering that I'm going to put in this section. Now we'll take our section on the other side and do the same thing. Now you notice I cut the top down. So I'm going to cut top down on this side. There's my line. There's my guide and then I'll go through and gently tenderly with intent cut that down to my guide length down here at the very perimeter. And so I know since I'm starting at the same point and I'm going to the same point I can get my angles pretty close to being the same. Comb everything else down. See if anything hangs over. We got a little bit right there. That's looking pretty good. I don't like that one but that looks pretty good and I think we got the basic shape built in.   Kourtney Kardashian Long Hair Final Look   So now let's go through and blow dry and see what we got. Here's our end result. I think we're looking very reminiscent of when Kourtney had her long hair and the whole point of it is to keep these ends really nice and airy and soft so that when you curl it, it has a little bit of separation to it. It doesn't have that 70s you know beauty pageant kind of look to it. And also with that real steep angle around the front it gives us just a little bit of movement to be able to keep it out of her face and I think that this works really really well. So just remember that this haircut is more about getting the texture right and focusing where that texturizing is going to be in the lower half of the hair. Please check out Jatai Academy.
