The Zendaya bob haircut from the SAG Awards in 2023 was a hairstyle to remember. When she debuted the style on the red carpet, it was an instant head turner. This fashion beauty knocked this hairstyle out of the park as the old Hollywood look was elegant, classic and yet modern. In this Zendaya bob with bangs haircut tutorial, you'll learn everything you need to know to recreate this look. Follow along with the tutorial and transcript below.   Zendaya Bob Haircut Tutorial:   Welcome to the Jatai Academy.  Today we're going to be doing a supermodel bob that Zendaya wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I think it's beautiful. It's luscious. It's lovely. It's elegant, graceful and modern. Alright, so if we're looking at uh you know Zendaya's hair when she wore it to the Screen Actors Guild, this is a very nice elegant one length kind of bob with just some layering around the front and a heavy solid bang with a little bit of curl in it. And I think this is a beautiful beautiful haircut on her. I think she wears it very well, but the key thing to this haircut that makes it really modern is that she has this heavy bang that's kind of brushed to the side so you get this kind of bang fill in that they used to do in roller sets, but it's a much more modern version of that. So it's got a little bit of lightness but a little bit of heaviness. And getting that right I think is the key to making this haircut really fit.   Sectioning the Hair So to start with my bob shape I want to start as neutral as possible. So I'm going to take a center part down to the crown, from the crown straight down to the occipital bone, occipital bone straight to the center of the spine. Once I got the center part, I'm going to take from the occipital bone, that bump in the back of the head, right to that bump below the ear behind the ear which is called the mastoid process. So once I got the flat part of the back of the head sectioned out, this is going to be the foundation for me to build the solid bob shape. If the hair is too thick which a lot of times it is, I will separate this in half, following the same section that I had above it keeping my lines parallel. Once I get everything sectioned out like I want and it's even on both sides, I'm going to start the section in the middle. Start that right in the center and I determine the size of that section by where the comb is flat against the head. That way I don't have to worry about inconsistent graduation because I'm cutting across a curved part of the head and elevating it inconsistently compared to a flat section.   Building the Zendaya Bob Haircut Shape And then from here I'm going to use my Jatai Kyoto Scissors. It is my sharpest scissor. It also has a nice, weighted blade so it cuts a nice clean solid section no matter how thick the section is. Comb that clean from the root down. Make sure my fingers are perpendicular to the parting. There is my section. I'm holding that as low elevation as I can. Go through cut that straight across. Make that as blunt as I possibly can. The sharper the scissor, the better. Comb this down. There's my angle. That's the way I'm combing my parting, T to the parting. So I make like a T with the hair with the parting. There's my guide. Oops, go through, cut that straight across. I push that a little bit and there's my little bit right through there. Cut that as clean as you can. Then I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. Then we're going to check and see that looks good. It looks nice and even. Now we're going to continue with the next section. I have my baseline. I'll start exactly in the middle just like I did the first section. Comb that straight down. And you'll notice when I'm combing the teeth of the comb were away from my fingers and then I hook the comb about halfway through, bring into my fingers with no tension, and then just clasp my fingers right there exactly on top of the previously cut guide. Here we start ending up with where the head is curving. So I have a flat section there, a flat section there, a flat section there. So this section requires three subsections to cut. There's my line underneath. Cut directly on top of that. My next line there, comb clean. Cut directly on top of my previously cut guide. Same thing on the other side. I'm taking little flat sections as I work around the head. Comb that down and through. There's my line from my previously cut. Cut that through. I want to make sure that I am directly on top of my previously cut guide, not cutting it shorter or longer. That's what makes this the hardest haircut to do is you have to mimic that same cut for numerous sections all the way up the head. And it gets more and more difficult to cut it directly on top of your guide. Now our next section, I followed the same pattern, the same angles of section that I was taking. I just took the next flat section up and I will start exactly the same way that I was doing before, flat section in the middle. Oops! And then as I work one, two, three. So I've got three sections on that side. As we'll continue to work down.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   I'll continue on my little flat section. There's my parting. I comb T to the parting and cut my line parallel to my parting. Now I'm going through and cutting this as blunt as I can possibly get it because Zendaya has this really solid bob shape and it's going to be different if I was to point cut it. I don't have to be as precise. But with cutting it really blunt I have to really really maintain my precision as I build the shape or it's going to start to look funky. This is kind of a key area right here where we're working over the ear. Now what makes this section so difficult is I have a protruding ear that I have to deal with that can really throw a monkey wrench in my cut line on the bottom, but we'll show you how to deal with that after I start in the center just like I was doing previously. Comb clean. Cut everything through. Okay now as I start to get into the section over the ear there's a lot of different ways that I can deal with this. I can go through and take a section directly on top of the ear cut half of the section behind the ear and half of the section in front of the ear to leave me a little bit of space there to deal with later. Or what I tend to do is comb everything smooth with only tension that I generate from the comb. Once I put my fingers in, no tension, I hold very gently and very lightly and then just push the hair under the ear and then cut my line and if I go through, oops, and check that again and I used tension on it, you start to see a little bit of a hiccup there. That is the hair that is my safety net so that when I blow it dry and clean it up at the end I don't end up with a hole. Okay tilt down a little bit, continue on until I run out of hair.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now to separate the front, I'm using the same methodology of using the flat part. So I have this flat. I have the second flat which goes to this curve of the head where at that point all the hair starts to fall forward. Usually, the second flat I take that to the top of the ear. When I start my face framing, the smaller the initial section that I take right through here, the quicker that it becomes a frame. The wider the section that I take as my guide, I get a more heavy bang and then it blends down through and if I look at the photo, it's this heavy kind of bang and that blends down.   Creating the Heavy Bang So we're going to take a pretty wide section right through here, right to the center of the recession. I'm going to elevate off the curvature of the head so that it doesn't end up being a blunt heavy bang but something that flows. So it's got a little bit of layering by me elevating. It's actually going to have a little bit of graduation. So I'll pull that forward. I think I'm going to go right to the top of the lip, right through there. Cut that blunt straight across. Comb the next section into it right next door. There's that. The next piece right next door. There's that. So now as I bring the rest of the hair down, this is the hair that I'm going to use to blend my short piece down to my long piece. The way that's going to work is I'll comb this straight down in natural fall, angle my fingers. Here's my length I'm cutting to. Here's my length I'm cutting from and then I'll softly point cut that to give me a nice blend through. As long as I don't cut this piece I'm fine and I'm going to be okay. All the way down to that corner. Same thing on the other side. There we go. Now as I start to comb this we'll see this heavier kind of bang come in and then we have our blend through the sides. Blending Bangs with the Sides Next piece. This is usually the easiest piece because I just want to make sure everything blends over. So all I'll have is a little bit of hair right there from where it transitions from front to back. And again, I will comb this in its natural fall. There's my line from underneath, point cut that down and through. I have to point cut this unless I go through and blow everything dry and flat iron it and then just free form cut it like this because it's difficult for me to go through and angle my fingers straight enough to cut it blunt. I take a center section for my layering and I'm only going to layer a little bit around the front here. As I hold my first two flat sections up, you'll see my fringe fall out. I'll pull everything else up, take a little bit of that length off cutting it 90 ° off the head shape. Next piece 90 °. There's a little bit of length there to cut. Take a small piece as my guide and as I get to the crown I should have very little if any hair that's going to reach and there's just that little bit of curvature right there. Now I'll take everything on one side. Since I'm doing very little layering it's just enough to take that edge off around the front. I'll take the entire left side of the head, pull everything straight up. There is my line. There is the hair that hangs over. We're going to continue, come here, continue this straight up. There is my line. Cut that down and through and then on this last section there should be very little hair that reaches if any at all, really. Comb everything up. Be patient and diligent. Make sure everything's clean. There's a little bit right through there. Now we'll do the same thing on the other side. We got our basic shape here. Everything's looking pretty good. We got a nice solid bang.   Zendaya Bob Haircut Final Look Let's go through and blow it dry. See how it looks. Here's our end result and uh I think we're looking pretty good. Curl looks pretty good in it. I think we got the curl pattern right. Blunt all the way around except for a little bit of layering around the front. So I'm pretty happy with that. So the whole thing about this haircut is just making sure that bang is heavy and not really uh face framed and really wispy and light. You got to have a heavy bang so that when you brush it back it falls in and fills in nice and solid around the front. Anyway, let us know what you'd like to see in the future.

Take a look at this Florence Pugh short hair tutorial. After shaving her head for a movie role, Florence made a statement with her buzz cut at the 2023 Met Gala. As she was growing it out, you could see in various Getty images and other shots of her at Paris Fashion Week she decided to slick back her short hair. And in 2024 with her hair being a bit longer, she showcased her short blonde androgynous style at the Golden Globes. Needless to say, Florence has experimented with a variety of bold hairstyles where she purposefully chose a shaved head to more feminine bob styles. This is what we love about Florence! Her beauty shines through all her styles. Since growing out her buzz cut, she now has long enough hair to have a bob. In this video, we take stab at a Florence Pugh bob haircut she debuted at the Oscars which has a lot of texture and movement. Whether it's looking for cuts for growing out short hair, recreating this beautiful bob or simply learning more texturing techniques, this Florence Pugh haircut will teach you something. Follow along with the video tutorial and transcript.   Florence Pugh Short Hair Tutorial: Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be doing a study on celebrity Florence Pugh's bob that she wore to the Oscars. This was a grow out haircut for her that she had worn after she had buzzed her head for Oppenheimer. And I think it was elegant and graceful and modern beautiful, all the good stuff. So let's get started. If we look at the bob that she had worn, you know it was kind of a little bit past her chin. Uh a little bit of layering in it to keep the shape round, but she was growing this shape out so it's obvious that it's going to be a little shorter on the top as she's growing it out. And I think that this shape was really really pretty and it was more of a study of texture than it is just a bob. Because if we do just a bob and layer it a little bit it can tend to look really really frumpy. So we have to put a lot of texture in it to make it look modern.   Point Cutting the Length So the first thing I want to do is take a natural or center part down to the occipital bone, occipital bone to the mastoid. That gives me all the hair and the flat part of the back of the head that builds my foundation for length for the shape. I'm going to take a center section, comb that right down in my fingers through there and then determine where I want that length to be. And I'm thinking about right there should be good and I will go through and point cut this from left to right. And then to make it more neutral, I'll go right to left because we know when hair is longer on one side than the other, that's the way it shifts. So I want to make this as neutral as possible. Now we'll take our next section on this side. Uh oh. Don't comb the parting out. Follow that down. There's my line and we're going to go through and point cut that. And you can start to see where this line is going to fall as I get around the front of the face, and I will cut this back and forth to make those little point cuts as neutral as possible. Same thing on the other side. Now if you don't want to go through and point cut this in both directions. I get it. You don't have to but my neurosis I would stay up night thinking about that I didn't cut it as neutral as possible. As I'm point cutting I want a weighty or more solid scissor so I'm using my Jatai Osaka Scissors. This has a nice point, but it's also got a really solid heavy blade so that as I point cut it takes less effort on my part to get a nice clean point cut through it. Once I get both sides even and I got this line the length that I want and the texture that I want, I'm going to now go through and take parallel sections all the way up the head until I run out of hair and cut everything all one length. If you want to see that in more detail check out the Jatai Academy. We have a one length bob tutorial that would be perfect for showing you all the intricacies and the ins and outs of how to do a one length bob very very well. Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Alright, that's our last piece. We got everything one length like we want. We got a nice clean line all the way around. Start right down the middle.   Florence Pugh Short Hair Round Layering Going to take a mohawk section. I'm going to pull this first section up. And this little bang part that we had previously cut, it's going to fall out and here I want to look at where it's going to fall in relation to her face and I think about the chin is probably a good length and we're looking at about right there. So I'm going to go through and point cut that layering right through there. Now I'm going to keep this layering pretty round on the top and especially around the face, but I'm not going to put a lot of layering in the back. So as I reach this next section which is the high point of the head, that's going to be the last part where I start to follow the head shape and mimic the head shape in my layering. From here I will start to get longer, but I'm still going to hold that section. Come on baby. I'm still going to... oh come on. I know you don't want to get cut, but it's okay. I want to hold that and then angle my fingers away from the head so that my length gets longer as I go towards the back. I'm not going to over direct because then that's going to give me inconsistent weight distribution. The last section here, pull up. You can see my previously cut guide there and then I'm just going to round that out just a little bit right through there. Now we've got our layering guide for both sides. From here I'm going to take a parallel section to my center mohawk little section, and I'm going to continue the same guide that I was working with before by pulling everything into the center of the head. So this is being pulled into the center and following my previously cut guide. Working that all the way back and through. Very little to cut through there. Now I'm just going to take the last section, pull everything up into the center where my previously cut guide was. So it's all going to be held right here in the center of the face and anything that hangs over, which is not a lot, I'm going to cut off. Oops! Oh so close. I almost had it. Pulling everything right into the center of the head following my previous guide, very little reaches if any. Come on. Perfect. So after I finish the layering (I'm on the left side), I'm going to take my center guide and do the same thing on the other side. Now she had already had a little bit of bang cut around the front. So I'm going to go through and section the side out which is the first bump of the head right to the high point of the hairline over the ear. I'll do that on both sides. So basically all I want to do with this is take that little corner off right here around the front. So I'm going to pull this straight down, angle my fingers and then change a little bit of that angle so we have a little bit better blend with our layering around the front. I'm not trying to take my corner off here. I still want a good solid shape there but taking this around the front will make it easier to push back especially as it blends in with the side. Take the rest of the hair on this side, comb that down. Anything that hangs over from that angle that we had previously cut, take that off. Same thing on the face framing on the other side.   Razor Cutting for Texture So now let's go through and add some texture. The most important part to keep this from looking kind of dated and old. Alright, so we've started back at the beginning and this is the same section I started out with initially to cut my one length. This is how I'm going to apply my texture throughout the entirety of the haircut and keep it as consistently as possible. I'm going to use my Feather Plier Razor. This is a razor with no guard so I have to be mindful and careful with that and respect the blade, but it will give me the cleanest cut and the most control. So we're going to section off right in the center like I was doing before. I'm going to comb that into the middle. Now I'm going to come through and about halfway through and down. Go through and channel cut each section so I can force separation into it and only thin about halfway down to the ends. I'm not going to go all the way deep into the root and risk losing control of the root movement. And I'm also not going to go through and texturize every section within this, every piece of hair within this section, because I still want to maintain a blunt shape. I just want that internal texture to lighten it up and give it a lot more movement. Starting in the center again about halfway through and down, trying to not pick up my previously cut hair. Pull that out and through. Channel that through. There we go. We're looking good. Okay moving up the head, following the same pattern, creating texture in the last half of each section, trying not to pick up previously cut hair.   Give us a thumbs up, click the subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Okay here we come to the very last section and I'm trying to still be as methodical as possible and be patient and take my time and get it as consistent as I can.     Final Look of this Florence Pugh Short Hair Look So let's blow it dry and see how we look. You look fabulous girl. Here's our end result. I think we're looking pretty good. I think we got the texture right. I think we got the shape right. The length is pretty good. You know she doesn't have an ear so we had to put a little pin there to keep it behind her ear, but I think the shape's pretty good and I think the texture is right. The razor gives a texture that no other tool can mimic and it's something that you really should add to your repertoire skills so that when you need something like that it's there for you. Just a little bit of practice is all it takes. Check out the Jatai Academy. There are all kinds of great information on there that will make you a better hairstylist and barber.

In this Mia Farrow haircut, we look at her iconic pixie cut from Rosemary's Baby. Also featured in Vogue, this Mia Farrow short hair style created instant buzz due to its very short nature. Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby sported this pixie cut 1960s look and since then many others have followed. Learn how to create the Mia Farrow pixie haircut by watching this tutorial and following along with the transcript. Rosemary's Baby Mia Farrow Haircut Tutorial: Welcome to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to go retro with a classic done by Vidal Sassoon himself, the Mia Farrow pixie that she wore in Rosemary's Baby. So let's get started.   Addressing the Sides and Back We're going to start right at the side of the head halfway in the center of the recession to the quarter part. And we're going to go to the drop crown, not all the way down to the occipital bone, but there we're going to take this section on both sides. So since I'm working in smaller tighter sections, a smaller scissor will give me much more control. So I'm going to use my Jatai Tokyo scissors in the 5-1/2 inch variety and then we're going to start with a section that's going to be parallel to the front hairline. Now what I want to keep in mind here is I want to keep a little bit of length over the ear, but I'm still going to crop this in pretty tight. Pull this forward to the front of the section at 90 ° straight up from the head. I want to make sure I leave some length at the bottom and then we're going to go through, cut that straight down and through. Make sure my line is clean. If I need to take that in two sections we take it in two sections. So that gives me my length here around the front and it also gives me a little bit of softness over the ear. I'll take that next section parallel to the first section and I'll comb these two into the center of both of those sections. Hold it straight out. Cut that off. Comb each section to look at it. This section will go right back to the mastoid. I'm going to remove the first section. Now I have the second and third. I will combine those two and cut that down and through. Now we're going to continue that section all the way down into the nape and then this is where it's going to change. So right at the mastoid I'm going to bring my fingers in and taper that in a little bit so I have a nice clean nape. I have a little hair left over the ears but a nice clean taper into the nape. Comb that into the previous. I can remove the previously cut section. Now I have section three and four. Hold that straight out 90 from the head, comb that out, follow through. Once I hit the mastoid, then I'll change my finger angle and taper this in much tighter. So it's going to be a little longer there and then it's going to taper in nice and clean right here in the nape. Follow the same guide as I work all the way back into the nape. So I'm going to work this guide all the way through to the center back of the head until I run out of hair. And I'll keep going until I reach over the center half of the back of the head and I have everything tapered in exactly like I want that fits the head. And I think that that's looking pretty good. After I've gone through and cut both sides, I want to cross check it. And the way I'm going to cross check it is hold it out in the exact opposite way that I held it the first time to cut it. So I'll start here in the nape. I'll comb right there parallel to my hairline. Comb that out. If anything sticks out, I will cut off. I'm not looking for big differences in length and big gaps in it. I want this to be as smooth and as even as possible and the more precise I am with my technique in the beginning, the less cleaning up I'll have to do. And that's what I'm ultimately trying for. That's my goal is to try to get this as even and as smooth as possible in the first pass that I have very very little hair to clean up here on my cross check. If I have big pieces of hair sticking out, I need to go back in and recut that section vertically to make sure everything flows like I want. Follow us on your favorite social media platform @jataifeather   Blending the Top with the Bottom So now after I've gone through and cut my entire underneath, I want to go through and make sure that the top will blend with the bottom before I even start to cut the top. So I'm going to take a parallel section to the previous section that I had where I separated the bottom from the top, comb this down. And exactly like I cross checked it, that's how I'm going to cut this. So I'll take a small section from underneath hold that up and out. There's my guide from underneath. So cross cutting the entire top just to make sure it blends and doesn't hang over the underneath hair. Now how much I cut off is all dependent upon how much hair was there previously on top, how longer that is, how much shorter it is etc. So I'm still continuing to work that through until everything is cut that could hang over. I just find that it's easier for me to cross cut this horizontally than it is to go through and vertically take each section. Because all I'm looking for here is a blend. Check this out. Now we know that everything on the top and the bottom is going to blend. So let's go through and do the same thing on the other side. Make sure that blends and then we'll cut the top. We got everything looking like we want on the bottom half and the top blends now. So now let's go through and take a center section.   Addressing the Top of the Head Now a lot of times when I'm doing short hair I need to make a preference between a round shape or a square shape. Since this is, you know, Mia Farrow and it's a pixie, I want to keep this shape rounder and more feminine. If it's more of a masculine shape, then I may keep it square. So we're going to start with a center section right above the nose. Now I'm going to take this section, pull everything straight up 90 ° off the head and cut everything the same length from front to back following the head shape. So I want to keep everything nice and round and soft. Taking a small piece of my guide from my previously cut section and work that down and through into the crown and the nape. Now we're going to check it on my way back to the front to make sure I got everything nice and smooth. And that's looking pretty good. So now I'm going to go through and take a parallel section to the first section that I cut. Comb these two together and cut right into the center of each of those sections and still following the length guide that I established with my first section. So there's the next two sections, the center and the first new additional section. And now I will follow that all the way through. Now the hardest part about cutting hair is cutting directly on top of your guide and making the next section that you're cutting the same length as the previously cut section without cutting into the previously cut section. Now here I'm going to have very little hair that reaches that top section. Going to use my second section as my guide. Anything else that hangs over will get cut. And since we went through and already established a blend with the side, there should be very little hair to cut. Now after we've cut the right side I'm going to go back, take my center section that I established as my initial guide and do the exact same thing on the other side. So I'll add section one which was the center. I will add a parallel section. I will make sure both of these are cut into the center of these two sections. So I'm basically walking my guide from the center over to each side. Small piece is my guide. Everything held straight up 90 ° from the head and follow that on through into the nape.

So I want to keep this kind of blunt and solid and I'm not going to add a whole lot of texture to it, but I do want to keep the bangs soft. So instead of cutting them blunt across I am going to go through and point cut them just to make sure we can keep her fringe nice and soft. And I'll go through comb everything down into my hand, roll the comb over so that the hair kind of gets combed down and then go through and just deep channel point cut some of this around the front to make sure everything is nice and smooth and gives us a little bit of something to play with around the face but still has that short kind of pixie shape. There we get that. Cut that. Cut this. You have less hair over here girl. Do you sleep on the right side? I bet you sleep on the right side. There we're going to go through a little point cutting just around there to make that blend through and I think that that's looking pretty good. Now let's go through and dry it, take a look and see what we got. See if we need to add some more texture.   Final Mia Farrow Haircut Look Here's our end result. I think we got a really nice solid shape without it being chunky and lumpy. I think making it fit the head is really really important. And you know I think Sassoon really hit this haircut out of the park when he did it for her for her movie Rosemary's Baby. And I love this. This is one of my favorite iconic shapes and just follow through. Practice and you'll be able to do the same. Check out the Jatai Academy.

Watch this layered lob with wispy bangs tutorial and follow along with the transcript below. Layered Lob with Wispy Bangs Tutorial:   Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be doing a lob with bangs. Now long bobs with bangs can tend to get boring and look kind of broom-ish if the hairs too thick. So I'm going to show you how to add some invisible internal texturizing to keep that from happening and also we're going to do a little whisper of a bang. So let's get started. We're going to start with a natural or center part that's going to go all the way to the crown, from the crown to the occipital bone, occipital bone straight to the bone right behind the ear which is the mastoid. I'm going to separate that. That's going to give us our baseline in the nape. From here we're going to separate this in half parallel to my previous parting here which is the occipital to the mastoid.   Establishing the Perimeter of the Layered Lob with Wispy Bangs So the first thing I want to do is establish my strong perimeter shape for my lob. This is going to give me a nice clean line that I can build the rest of the haircut off of and make sure I get the sides even. So trying to get this as blunt as possible. I'm going to go through and use my Jatai Kyoto Scissors. This is the sharpest scissor that I have and it works really really well for cutting blunt lines especially if you have really really thick hair. So we're going to start right in the middle, comb that down clean and smooth and I like a lob that hits right about at the collar bone. So I will visualize where that's going to hit in the front because it's going to be a little longer in the front because of my parting. And so I will visualize about right there. I keep my fingers curled down not curled up and cut this as blunt as possible. After I get that cut and I like that length I will move on to the left side and comb this T to my parting. So there's my parting. The hair is going to make like a little T. Comb everything down and smooth. There's my line. Cut that down and through and then the same thing on the other side and as long as my partings are the same and I follow my fingers parallel to the parting and T to the part I should be able to get this pretty even on the first pass. So after we cut both sides I'm going to comb it down and check it and I got a little longer on the left side. So much for keeping it even on both sides. So we're going to comb this down again make sure that I'm square. There it is right there. I had my fingers at the wrong angle and there we go. That should be perfect. Now depending upon the thickness of the hair I may want to start adding texture here or building a more solid baseline. The more thicker the hair is the faster that I can start to introduce texturizing to keep it from looking like a broom. So her hair is you know fairly medium, medium thick and so what I want to do is I'm going to go in between. So I'm going to add a little bit of texture and softness to it but not a lot. The way I'm going to do that is by point cutting. So I'm going to comb this section down, find my guide. Now I'm going to go through and point cut that line. Now when I point cut the line I'm not going shorter than my previously cut guide. I want to make sure that the deepest part of my point cut is where my previously cut line was and then the hair gets longer from that. I don't want to go through and recut my baseline by point cutting all the way into it because then it makes no difference if I've cut it blunt or not. Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather Point cut that on top of my previously cut guide. Be patient. Make sure it's nice and even. This is going to give me a little bit of softening and a little bit of texture and give me a transition between my blunt cut and my texture cut. You notice that I'm cutting from the center to the front of the hairline around the face on both sides. I'm not cutting from right to left on every section. I want to cut from center forward on every section. Being patient, fine-tuning making sure I get the line just like I want. So here's our next section. We took about an inch. We're going to continue that same size section throughout the rest of the head and that way I can keep everything as consistent as possible.   Adding Invisible Internal Texturing Now we're going to go through and we're going to add our internal texturing that's going to be invisible to the overall shape but is going to give me a lot of internal softening and movement and it's going to bevel the shape quite a bit and that's what we're going for. So I'm going to use my Feather Styling Razor. So now we've got our section. I'm going to go through and comb this down. I'm going to remove my baseline that was blunt cut. I have a guide from my previous section that was point cut. I'm going to hold this straight down and then from here I'm going to fillet this section and put my texture internally. Now I'm doing about the last 2 to 2-1/2" of the section and by filleting, I mean I'm laying the blade directly across the entire section and just gently taking that off until I get the length cut. Next section. I'll take a small piece as my guide. There we go. There's my guide from underneath. I'm going to go about 2-1/2" internally, fillet that through. The reason I'm not going to go through and cut vertically going into it is I don't want the separation. I just want the softness that the texturizing adds. I don't want the increased movement or separation. So comb that down. Last two inches a very gentle application of the razor. Let the motion of the blade cut the hair not the pressure that you're applying. Now you'll notice that I've left my previously cut baseline out. That way I maintain my solid perimeter shape and I only put my texturizing internally. If it happens to cut a little bit of the guide from underneath it's not my entire baseline. It's just that previously cut section that I went through and point cut. Okay that's looking pretty good. So now we've got a layer of internal texturizing that's going to soften up and bevel my shape.   Remaining Sections of the Layered Lob with Wispy Bangs The next section I'm going to go through again with my Kyoto Scissors and cut a nice blunt clean line. So I will alternate the types of tools that I use by each section that I go up the head. So I can maintain a blunt lob shape but also get that internal texturizing to make the shape bevel and flow and move more naturally. Let's go to the other side. T to my parting every section. Give us a thumbs up, click suGive bscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content. Let's check and see how we're looking and that's looking pretty even and I like that. We've got a nice softening effect from our first two layers of texture by the point cutting and the razor. And now we're going to continue on as I move up the head. This section is usually where the thickest part of the hair is. It's either going to be the nape or the crown sometimes both. And so I want to make sure that this doesn't get real heavy but also I run into the problem of I have no hair on the side of the head. So I'm actually going to use two tools on this same section. Now I'm going to start right in the middle. I'm going to remove the previously cut hair and I'm only going to hold the previous guide in my hand. That way I comb everything straight down. There's the previously cut guide. I'm going to take my razor, a long filleting type of stroke to take that length and weight out and I'll continue that as I start to work towards the side. Make sure I'm still holding everything at zero elevation as I cut that down and through. Feel like I got a little shorter in there so take a little of that out. Now as I come to the ear I'm going to take where the quarter part would be and separate that out. Take a small piece as my guide. So now I have the back half of the head. There's my previously cut guide. Go through cut that length off. I'm pretty happy with that. Now I'm going to move into my Kyoto Scissors because here I want to maintain a really solid perimeter shape and if I razor it , it's not going to have that same solidity as it transitions from the back to the front. Comb everything down. Allow the hair to release for whatever the ears sticking out. There's my line from the back. Cut that down and through. And I can see where that would start to hit right at about where her collar bone would be. And I'm pretty happy with that. Now I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. But I'm going to follow the same methodology that I was using before which is take my section in the center, remove the previously cut hair, only keep one section as your guide, comb that all the way through evenly down at zero elevation. There's my line. Razor that off. Okay and then follow the same thing all the way around to the side. There we go. Last section here. Remove some the guide. I don't need all of it. I just need to know where the general length is. Comb that down and through. There's my line right there and then go through and fillet that length off. Now I'm just going to continue to alternate blunt section, razor section, blunt section, razor section until I get to the top. And on the top, I want to always make sure I end on a blunt section that way it hides any kind of texturizing and layering that I put internally by it being blunt underneath and blunt on the top. So the layers that get sandwiched in between they disappear. So I get the effect of the razoring and the beveling without the appearance of the razor and the texture.   Whisper or Wispy Bangs Now I want to go through and add a little whisper of a bang. I don't want a real solid blunt bang to make it look super 60s. I want kind of a modern whisper of a bang where it looks like hair is just kind of just broken off maybe around the front. That's a terrible way to describe it, but that's what it looks like. It's just like little whispers of something hanging out around the front. So let's go through and take our fringe section which is going to be the center of the recession to the first bump of the head and that's where all the hair has the ability and the tendency to fall in the person's face. So here's our fringe section. Now let's go through and I'm going to separate corner to corner right across the front. Now I'm going to start right here in the middle and what I want to do is do a really extreme angle you know because most bangs are blunt or at a little angle like that. But I want to do a really extreme angle so I'm going to take right where the hair wants to separate and take my Feather Styling Razor hold that down and start right here where I think I want my little bangs to start and then just real gently go through and take that all the way really extreme. So I end up with just a little something here in the front but not a real solid bang. Now I'll do the same thing on the other side. Hold that down and forward. There's my little guide piece then just real gently go through and try to keep the same razor stroke that I had on the other side to hopefully that they'll match a little bit. So I'm going to take the rest of the hair bring that down and then just gently anything that I think hangs out way too much I'm going to cut that off. Following the same pattern that I was doing before same kind of methodology just to give me a whisper in the center more than a full-blown kind of fringe or bang. I think that's pretty good. Now after it's dry, I may go through and fine-tune that a little bit more, but I will let the hair be the guide and show me what to do. We've got a nice solid bob lob shape that doesn't have that broom effect from the hair being too thick. So it's got a little bit of bevel, but it doesn't really show a whole lot of texture to it because that's hidden by the top layer being real solid. And we got a... yeah it looks pretty good. I like that. We got a nice little whisper of bang around the front, not anything too crazy. Just more like you know it just grew this way, just a natural elegance that I think looks pretty good. I like that a lot. Please check out the Jatai Academy. There are all kinds of great information on there that will make you a better hairstylist and barber.

There are many different mohawk hairstyles such as a wide mohawk haircut, mohawk fade haircuts, mohawk burst fade, short mohawks, long mohawks, curly mohawks and more. The mohawk style changes in look by how the hair is cut on the sides and the length of the hair down the middle that comprises the mohawk. You can have shaved sides, a low fade or taper fade on the sides. The mohawk hair length is often determined by how thick the hair is. If it's thin, it's best to have short hair. But with thick hair, you can have longer hair. Styling the mohawk also contributes to the style, which can make it more modern or edgy. Mohawks can be on straight or curly hair. And why not pair a mohawk haircut with a touch of hair color. The possibilities are vast. In this educational tutorial you will learn how to create a softer version of a wide mohawk using scissor over comb and a Feather Plier Razor. Watch this wide mohawk haircut tutorial below and follow along with the transcript below. Wide Mohawk Haircut Tutorial: Welcome to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes Director of Content for Jatai. Today we're going to be doing a wide Mohawk. We're going to show you how to make the mohawk softer, how to make it harder, how to make it in between, basically how to make it more you. So let's get started. We have our Mohawk sectioned out, and I tried to get it as even on both sides as I could. And I wanted to keep this wide. Now I have a lot of variation and there's a lot of different things that you can do on this depending upon what kind of look you're going for. I want something wide so I'm going from right at the corner of the eyes on the outer part all the way back down to the tendon and the neck. I want to try to keep that as straight through as I can and try to match that on both sides. Now from here I'm going to go through and I'm going to cut all of this off and again you have a lot of variations on how you can deal with this hair. We're going to start from something that's going to be very soft and then we can go to something that's going to be very hard. So the harder that the end result is the more edgier that the look is going to be. This is going to be a very edgy look regardless of how you cut it, but sometimes the hair demands a little softness in the cut. Sometimes it demands that it's a little harder because the hair is a little frizzy or fuzzy and the harder textures work best.   Scissor Over Comb So let's start with just some basic scissor over comb. So I'm going to start with my Jatai Tokyo Scissors. This is a nice long skinny blade that makes it perfect for doing scissor over comb type of work. Now when I have this much hair it's senseless for me to go through and start my scissor over comb trying to get everything smooth with this much hair so I need to remove it. I can do the very very methodical method where I'll take a vertical section and go through with my fingers and cut everything short. If I need to practice my traveling guide that's what I'll do. And that would look like this. So I'll take a vertical section at an angle, pull that out, finger length, support the blade, go through cut that straight up and down. And then my next section, the exact same size of parting as the first section. I comb these two together. Where that length is I'm going to follow that all the way through. Next section, same size as the original two sections, comb everything into the previously cut section, cut that down and through. And then I can practice my traveling walking guide from front to back. Or I could do the more crude method where I just hold it up and cut some of this length off. Since I'm going to be scissor over combing all of this length off anyway there's no sense in me trying to work through all of that if I don't need the practice. If I need the practice like on a mannequin head, definitely get the practice in. Now I'm going to start going through and scissor over combing, going shorter around my perimeter hairline gradually getting longer as I go up. Here I'll put my comb right in the crotch of my pinky and ring finger, thumb and forefinger on the spine and the teeth and then it's this twisting motion here. So I want to get into a rhythm going down and then up, down and up, down and up. And I'll start very close at the nape, at the bottom perimeter of the hairline and gradually get longer. I'm not getting real long as I go to the top. I just want a little bit longer as I go to the top of the section. And I'm not worried about how perfect this is right now. I'm just going through the motions of getting everything removed and starting to build in my fundamental shape. Now this is a very very crude shape but what it allows me to do is it allows me to start getting rid of the excess hair and start building in the type of tapering that I want. I don't want to look at this as just lay the comb against the head and cut everything the same length as the comb all the way up. I want to have a little bit of a design aesthetic. So I'm going to lightly taper it. So once I start to get the basic shape like I want, I have everything in the general vicinity of the length that I want. At that point, I will start to fine-tune my shape and fine-tuning my shape just means I'm going to go over and trace what's already there. So I'm going to try to make as repeatable as possible the exact same length. And sometimes I'll cut some hair and sometimes I won't. Sometimes it just glazes over and sometimes I get a little bit of hair to come off. And it's not a matter of me visually having to see hair come off. It's I'm looking at what's being left. That's the key thing. So I want to go through and make sure everything is as nice and as velvety smooth as I can possibly get.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Cleaning this up around the hairline a little bit more making sure that's nice and smooth and just go through. And anywhere that my eye visually sees something pop out, I want to go over and retrace that. Now I can hear you saying 'well why don't you just go through and use the clipper to buzz everything off' and I certainly could go through and do that and I have certainly done that many many times when the style and the aesthetic calls for it. If I use a clipper it's going to cut everything much more perfectly and the end result is going to be a much cleaner harder shape. So like I said, if the hair is fuzzy that cleaner harder edge works better. If the hair is not and I want something softer, then scissor over comb will give me a softness to it that I can't get from a clipper. And so I'm going to keep going over this until I have everything exactly like I want and as clean and as pristine as I care to do. Working the other side, we're going to work the clipper. It's the same thing I was doing with the scissor over comb, but this time the clipper. Just lay the comb in, angle the comb at whatever type of graduation that I want, run the clipper across the comb. Now when I run the clipper across the comb, I don't want to press the comb and make it move in. I just want to trace the comb with a gentle stroke across the teeth. I don't want to try to push it in. If I push it in, it gets shorter than I think it does and then everything ends up a little bit too short. So start here at the bottom working my way slightly longer as I get to the top of my parting. Make sure our sides are matching there. We've got a little bit right through there and the same kind of motion that I was doing with the scissor but this time using the clipper and it goes much faster which is good for time and good for speed. And it also gives me a stronger harder shape. How soft I want this shape will determine what type of method or technique that I'm using to get everything fit in nice and smooth.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Cutting the Mohawk Length We've gone through and taken a center section of our top all the way down through into the nape. I'm going to take this section. I'm going to pull it forward and up and out 90 ° from the head and I'm going to determine how short, where I want this to fall around the front. Determine where I want that section. Now I'm going to go through point cut that all the way through. Take a small piece as my guide. Take my next flat section hold that 90 ° from the head, point cut that all the way through, take a small piece as my guide 90 ° from the head. Now once I hit the crown I'm going to start to increase my length. So the crown is right here. I'm going to start to gently increase the length and as I get further into the back, that length is going to increase quite a bit. Still holding everything at 90 ° from the head. So I'm not dragging anything up, but I am increasing my length as I get down to the nape. 90 degrees there we go. Small piece is my guide. My next piece there's my length all the way down and through. So now we've increased the length, but we still have it nice and short up here on top. Now from here I'm going to comb the entire left side of the head into a combination of my first and second sections. Comb this up, follow my guide, original guide from the center of the head. Small piece is my guide. My next section held up at 90 again. There's my guide from the center. Comb that through and over, small piece as my guide. Once I reach the crown, remember my length increases so I look for that in my previously cut guide. And there it is right there still making sure that I'm holding everything as 90 as I can in the center of both of those two sections. Comb this up at 90, pull that through, follow that through. A small piece is my guide, center of both of those sections. There we go, cutting that through. That's looking pretty good. I like our length on top. We can still get that to stick up, but I like this length in the back as well. Now I'm going to go through and do exactly the same thing on the other side.   Razor Cutting the Wide Mohawk Hair Now at this point I want to go through and use a razor. And since I'm using a razor, I'm going to use my Jatai Blade Glide just to give me a little bit of extra conditioning and to make sure that the blade glides through the hair and cuts really really evenly. So I'm going to start here at the bottom in the nape, take a horizontal section. Now I'm going to go through and use my Feather Plier Razor. It gives me the cleanest cut. It's a guardless razor so there's no guard. So I have to be careful to not cut myself, but this will allow me maximum control of where I put my texture in each section. So I'm going to comb this clean from the root all the way out and I want to go through and take out some of that weight and force these pieces to separate more tenderly. Take another horizontal section. Do not pick up the previously cut section from underneath. Comb this section out and down. Take my blade, go through create internal texture and separation with my Feather Plier. Next section. Work up. Do not pick up the underneath. And I'm just going to continue to do this until I reach the front run out of hair.   Final Look of the Wide Mohawk Aright, here's our end result. I think we're looking pretty good. We got a little bit of curl in it to give it a little bit of bump and some separation. I got some clay into it to kind of give it some oomph to make it full and I think our shape looks pretty good. We got it nice and wide from the corner of the eyes all the way straight down to the nape which gives us this wide full shape that can handle the curl really well. You can certainly go straight and make it really really edgy and hardcore, but I think our shape looks pretty good. We got a nice little bit of curl to it and I'm very happy with that.

In this video, you'll learn how to create a Selena Gomez bob. With her naturally thick hair, it's important to get the technique down to keep the hair sleek and manageable with little movement. To do this Russell uses Jatai Osaka Scissors and Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors to complete the look. Selena Gomez is one of the biggest pop stars of the 2010s and beyond. Her impressive Instagram following @selenagomez, her successful Rare Beauty line, her singing and acting have catapulted her to stardom. She has become one of the faces of fashion not only in her clothing but with her hair. Looking at past Getty Images, her time on the red carpet and film festivals, Selena has debuted many different hairstyles. From bobs to long hair, blonde to dark hair and bangs to no bangs, she marches on to her own beat. Follow along with the video and the transcript.   How to do the Selena Gomez Bob:   Welcome to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be doing a one length bob that's inspired by Selena Gomez. Now Selena Gomez has a lot of hair. So in order to create this nice sleek one length bob we're going to have to introduce some texturizing. So I'm going to show you how to do that today that thins the hair keeps it sleek and smooth without introducing any kind of movement. So let's get started. I always like to start with a little bit of Jatai Blade Glide. It makes the hair easier to comb. It puts a slight conditioning effect to it, constricts the cuticle and gives me a cleaner cut. Now we're going to start here with a natural or center part right down the middle and I'll brush everything back and push forward and see where it wants to split. I'll take that all the way down to the center of the nape and then from there I'll take the occipital bone over to the mastoid. That gives me a flat section in the back using my Osaka Scissors from Jatai. That's the blade that has the nicest point. So it makes it easiest for me to go through and point cut. The more pointy your scissor is, the easier you'll get a point cut and it'll be cleaner an you can go deeper onto it. So we're going to take a center section. We're going to comb this straight down the middle. Now I'm going to put clips on the hair on either side just to get the hair out of the way. It wants to keep falling in my hands.   Point Cutting the Perimeter So now I'll comb everything down straight from the part, straight down, make sure my fingers are not flipping and then I'll go through and do a deep point cut. Because the whole idea behind this bob shape is to prevent the hair from bulking up and building a bell type of shape. I don't want this to stack and have all this fullness. I want a sleek kind of shape. So going through and doing a deep deliberate point cut like this will enable the hair to collapse a little bit but still retain the bob type of shape. So I'll go through point cut center towards the front. So in the middle I'll point cut that, doesn't matter. But on each side I'm always point cutting from the center towards the front so that way the movement is going to be the same with each of my point cuts on both sides of the head. If I always point cut from left to right, then the left side of the head is always going to move to the right.   Point Cutting the Next Section Taking my next section which is going to be parallel to my previous section and then taking my center section where I started and using my guide from underneath to cut the one length exactly like I was doing before. Now when I comb everything down since I've been point cutting, the line of my guide is not going to be real prevalent. I'm going to see kind of a ghosting of the image of the previously cut guide and I want to use that to mimic what I'm point cutting on top of it. Now here again point cutting from the center of the head towards the front and I'm not being real persnickety and diligent about making sure I'm directly on top of the guide. The more variance that I have in my line that I'm cutting, the more sleek the shape can be, the less stacking effect that I'm going to get.   Be sure to click the thumbs up. Click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now I'm just going to continue on with my section from the center working towards the front making sure that looks good. We're going to do the same thing on the other side. Now I always am cutting parallel to my parting and I will continue to comb that clean from the parting all the way down until I get everything nice and smooth. And something else that I want to expand on here is that my partings are just as much of a part of my guide as the actual previously cut guide is. So every parting that I take my fingers are going to be parallel to the parting. So the line that I'm cutting is actually the line that the parting is. So if the parting is at an angle, my fingers are in an angle, the line I cut is at an angle. So that way as long as I know that my parting is the same on both sides and I have everything nice and balanced it makes it a lot easier for me to make sure that the sides are even.   Point Cutting the Top of the Head Now here when I start to move up to the top of the head I'm not taking my quarter part. I'm going to take that part all the way around from the back into the front and to the side. I want to make sure that's parallel to my previously cut section and the same on both sides. Now I'm going to comb everything clean and I'll keep combing until I get everything perfectly smooth and clean and then go through and clean up my line just like I was doing in my previously cut sections. I want to make sure that I'm keeping the same depth of my point cut as I go through. Now if I need to clean a little bit up I'm cleaning a little bit up, but I'm not worried about everything being perfectly pristine. I want some variation and some softness in the line. So now we're working from the back into the front and continuing to work from the center towards the front with my point cutting. Here, the last section, combing everything down as evenly as I can around the parting and around the natural center part and the crown, and just anything that hangs over we're going to cut off.   Be sure to follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather.   Flat Ironing for the Selena Gomez Bob Sleek Look Now after we've gone through and we've done our base cut, we're going to go through and blow everything dry, get everything up off the scalp as we dry it and then I'm going to go through and flat iron it. Now when I flat iron I'm going to flat iron in exactly the same way that I cut it so horizontal sections. I'll lift the iron up on the bottom as the iron touches the hair and then close the top down and pull with my left hand to make sure everything is fed into the iron nice and smooth. Now we're going to take a vertical section in the center of the back and I'm going to hold this out vertically.   Removing Internal Weight So section that hair out of the way. Get it out of the way. I'm going to hold this out vertically and going through and using my Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors. I'm going to go through and about 2 to 3 inches in just go through and point cut some of that internal weight out. I don't usually go deeper than about halfway and here I'm keeping it about a third of the length out. So just going through removing some of the weight from the ends. I'm not trying to remove so much internal weight as much as I'm trying to remove the weight from the ends. Now here in the back of the head you can remove a lot more weight without any kind of fear of any alfalfa sprouts sticking up or anything kind of getting out of control because that hair will always hang straight down. As I move up the head I take the next section. This is more or less the parietal ridge. I'm going to hold that out at the exact same you know elevation and then go through and point cut that through. Now as I start to point cut this through I'm taking it a little deeper at the bottom of the parting and then as I get to the top of the section I take it more towards the tip. So I'm thinning more underneath and less on top. And here you'll see I'll start deeper and then just go toward the tip on the very top because I don't want a lot of texturizing on the top surface layer of the hair. I want this texturizing underneath to remove weight so I can still keep a nice smooth slick shape without all that bulkiness of someone that has a lot of hair and it getting very broomy. Here on the last section, I finish everything up on the last section. I'm going to comb everything down. I tend to not do a whole lot of texturizing on the top layer. Just make sure everything blends there. I want to keep that top surface layer very very smooth and very very glassy.   The Final Selena Gomez Bob Haircut Look Here's our end result. I think we got a really nice sleek, smooth head curving kind of style for someone that has a lot of hair. That's the way I would go through and texturize it and remove weight without introducing any kind of movement to it. Please check out the Jatai Academy.

In this short layered haircut with side bangs video, we take a look at how to create layers in short hair without it looking like a bubble. With short hairstyles, it's easy for it to start to look like a bubble when you start adding texture and layers. Layered haircuts, and in particular short layered haircuts, you may want to approach it differently. Russell Mayes, Director of Content for Jatai, creates the perfect short haircut with side swept bangs, reminiscent of the wedge haircut. This type of cut can be dome on straight hair, curly hair or even wavy hair. The wispy bangs are created as a result of combing the hair to the side. This haircut is not one you can easily do at home on yourself. View the video and follow along with transcript below.   Short Layered Haircut with Side Bangs Tutorial: Welcome to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be working on layering short hair. Layering short hair is a different mindset than layering long hair because it's real easy to get the shape kind of blocky and not have an even amount of volume. So I'm going to show you how to have a nice beveled full layered shape on shorter hair today. So let's get started.   Building the Shape at the Nape So I got my first section in the nape. It's you know enough hair that I can start to see my shape and build a good guide, but it's not the entire section. Some hair requires more section. Some hair requires less. So take whatever is appropriate for you to be able to build a solid shape and cut a clean line. I'll take a center section and I'm going to go in with my Jatai Tokyo Scissors. This is the 5 1/2". I think that this scissor is the best all around scissor that you can get. For the price, it's got a nice sharp blade. It's pointy enough that I can get a real clean kind of cut if I'm detailing. But it's not pointy so much that I will jab my finger every time I try to cut in my hand. I'm going to start right in the nape with the comb away from me. Comb into my fingers and then I will go through and point cut a line straight across. From there I'll use my comb. I got a little graduation from holding it in my finger. I will go through and cut that graduation off following the guide that I just put in. So anything that hangs out underneath that, I'll cut off. So I've cut this straight across.   Beveling the Line Now I can make a creative decision. Do I want to go longer in the front? Do I want to go neutral in the front? Or do I want to go shorter in the front. On this particular shape, I want to round that out a little bit so I'm going to angle my fingers going up a little bit. So I use that corner and then angle that line going up towards the face. This is going to give me a little bit of a curve in the back as it starts to come around from the back into the front. Do the same thing on the other side and try to match it. This is the hardest part when you're starting to bevel is to match the angles on both sides. So I may go a little longer than I think on this side knowing that I can go back and cut a little bit more off to make it match the other side. So the next section that I take, I take half of what I had already sectioned out. Now from here the first section I held straight down here. Here I want to bevel this shape and curve it as I go up so it gives me a little bit more softness as I put my layering in. Now I'll put two fingers underneath where before I had one. Now I have two. So I'm lifting this a little bit higher following the previously cut guide as I go across cleaning it up going the opposite way. So now I'm starting to bevel that shape and I will follow the same line that I cut on the other side. Two finger elevation. There's my line from underneath. Oops! There we go. We've got that. Same thing on the opposite side. Two finger elevation. There's my guide. Follow that through. Take the center, elevate. Now to three fingers. There's my line in the middle. Follow my previously cut guide. Same thing on both sides.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   After I finished the nape you can start to see I have a nice little bevel going, but I still have a good solid shape. And I'm going to continue this same method until I run out of hair. So I will take a parallel section to my previous parting. Pin that out of the way and go through and do the same thing.   Beveling from Back to Front But instead of using my fingers, because I've already used three fingers in the bottom, I'm going to start using the head shape. So the head shape is going to show me the elevation that I need to hold each section as I start to go up the head. There's my elevation. There's my line from underneath. Point cut that through. There's my line from underneath. Cut that all the way through. You see my shape beveling up through there. So I'm very happy about that and there we go. As I continue to work up I need to add a little moisture to the hair. Instead of using water I prefer to use a cutting lotion, and my cutting lotion of choice is Jatai Blade Glide. It gives a nice fine mist to evenly moisturize the hair, add a little bit of dampness. Also, it constricts the cuticle and gives you a cleaner cut. Now we're working on our last section and I'm continuing the elevation at whatever was at the top of the parietal ridge or the drop crown which is right there. This allows me to maintain a good solid beveled shape here underneath. I can always modify that more with my layering when I get to that point. I'm going to take a natural part and find the high point of the head where the head peaks. From there I'll take that right behind the ear on each side going to the mastoid process. After I've got the back sectioned off I'm going to go through and take a center section right down the middle. From here I want to visualize where I want the shortest layer to fall. So I'm going to pick this up and kind of look and see where it's going to want to fall. So there's that right there. So I can always go back and take more off if I feel the need. So always error on the side of it being a little long than the error on the side of it being a little short. I'm thinking that's okay. And from there I will now continue to go through, hold everything out 90 from the head. Small piece is my guide and follow that all the way through until I run out of hair and I reached my bevel. Small piece as my guide and there we go right there. We're going to meet in the middle and blend everything through. I'll pivot from the center over towards the right, combine the first section that I cut which was my guide with the second section, hold that 90 ° from the head. There's my guide in the middle. Cut that through. Remove most of that. Have a small piece as my guide. Comb these two in the center. Cut that down and through. My next section, there's my guide from underneath. Looking pretty good. So now I've got my first two sections done. I'm going to remove the center section that I just took, the first section I cut. Now I have my second section. I'll add my third section to that and continue to pivot until I get over to the quarter part. There's my guide from underneath. Small piece as my guide. Pull that up and out. There we go. And follow that all the way around to the side. My last section here on the right side. There is my guide from underneath, the previously cut guide. Pull that little bit out of the way. Take my next section, the center of both of those sections. Blend that through and there we go. And I think that that's looking pretty good. So now let's go through and do the same thing on the other side. This is the last section on the opposite side. Pull that straight up. There's my guide in the center. Follow that on through.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   And we're finishing up there. That's looking pretty good. I want to keep this front fairly solid, fairly heavy. I don't want to layer this all the way around the front because I think it's going to make it look like a little bubble. So what I'm going to do is I'll take a parallel section to my quarter part which I sectioned off for the back. I'll take a parallel section to that and continue to pull this hair back to the previously cut hair. So I'll pull this back straight up. There is my guide. Cut that straight across. Small piece is my guide. Work this over to the right continuing to pull everything back past the quarter part into my previously cut hair. My previously cut section, combing this hair back into that section. There's my length. There's my guide. Cut that down and through following my guide from the back. Now since none of this hair up front will reach I'm going to continue to pull everything back into my previously cut section and cut that through and across. Small piece is my guide. Pull everything else back to my quarter part. Anything that sticks over cut off. That's preserving my length around the front of the face. Same thing on the other side. Come here baby. A lot of times on these mannequin heads they can be overly thick and a little stiff and it needs some texturizing to lighten it up. But a lot of clients have thick hair too. So, on finer hair you may be done. You may need just a little lightening and softening on the ends, but on thicker hair you really need to remove some weight internally to give the hair a little bit more lightness and movement to it.   Softening the Shape So I'm going to go through with my Tokyo Thinning Scissor which has enough teeth to remove some hair but not so much that you start to see gaps and lines in it. It's seamless so I can go through and really remove a lot of hair in a soft way. So I'll go through and take a vertical section right here on the side. I'll pin this out of the way so it doesn't get in my way. I may take half of that and then from here about halfway and then feather that out through the ends. Depending upon the thickness of the hair will determine how many times I hit it with the thinning scissor. I want enough to soften it but I don't want so much that I destroy my shape. If you're worried, start somewhere in the back so if you over thin it, it's not right in the front. When I go through and texturize I don't want to do more than about halfway. Maybe underneath I can go a little bit deeper but here on the sides and the top about halfway is about as deep as I want to go. Now by going through and doing this with my blade parallel to the head, all that's going to do is remove weight and add softness. I'm not introducing any movement to it by angling of the scissor. About halfway. And go through and thin. There we go. So now I'm just going to go through and continue this throughout the entirety of the head. Refine my outline and clean it up and give it a little bit more interest. Make the shape a little bit edgier and stronger around the perimeter. Because the last thing I want is like a little bubble-do which short hair with layering is really easy to get just like little bubble shapes. So one part of it has to have some kind of visual interest whether it's more length somewhere, either the front or the back. The bangs got to be short. You got to have a little corner around the front. You got to have a little something so it just doesn't look like a bubble. So that's why I pulled all the hair in the front back to give me a little bit more length around the front, especially around this little corner here which I'm going to carve that shape out a little bit more. And I think that once we do that we'll have a nice pleasing modern kind of shape. We got nice volume. We got some nice layering throughout the back. That's a nice beveled pleasing shape and uh we got a nice little interest around the front. I'm going to take a little of that off right through there. I don't like that but there we go. Anyway, that's a good way to layer shorter hair and still keep a nice even shape to it. Please check us out at Jatai Academy.

FYI: The very short bangs in the picture were already there before this haircut. But they look cute with this style! Final Thoughts on this Short Layered Haircut with Side Bangs This type of haircut is not a type of pixie bob, wavy bob, short bob, layered bob or a pixie cut. It's more of a wedge-inspired short cut. Using the hair's natural texture and styling with a round brush or brush of choice, you can get this cute short layered hair with side bangs. You can always modify this style with choppy bangs, straight bangs or any other kind of bang.   Tutorial

The Taylor Swift haircut. While she has always had a classy style and has sported various haircuts from long to short, at the 2016 Grammy's she had a cute bob with heavy bangs and then did it again during her Eras Tour. The singer seems to have an affinity for this style so in this video we recreate it. Taylor Swift hairstyles have usually included some sort of bang. Whether it's a heavy straight bang or side swept bang, she loves her bangs! But she has always had hair with style, sometimes short, long, curly or straight. In this video, we look at a Taylor Swift short haircut, specifically a bob with heavy bangs. Follow along with the tutorial and transcript below.   Taylor Swift Haircut: Welcome to the Jatai Academy! Today we're going to be doing a study of the Taylor Swift bob that she wore when she went to the Grammys, that nice textured solid bob with a real heavy bang. So we're going to figure out how to add more bangs to an area when the hair is not necessarily the thickest and also how to get texture in it so it always stays modern and soft. And this is my inspiration picture which I'll put kind of right here. Looks good. Yes, I like that. So let's get started.   Perimeter with Internal Texture So instead of everything being completely blunt, I'm going to keep the blunt shape, but I want to put some internal texture in the last 1.5" to 2" of it so it makes those ends softer and easier to blend and easier to style in a lot of different ways. We have gone through and cut our one length already. I've gone through and re-sectioned out from ear to ear. So I have the nape of the head which is where the bulk of the hair is on most people. So I want to go through and thin this out and put a little texture on the bottom and I'm going to use my Tokyo Thinning Scissors from Jatai. So this is the perfect middle-of the road thinning scissor for me. It's seamless and doesn't leave any kind of marks and removes just the right amount of hair. So I'm going to start with a section right in the middle. I'll pin this hair out of the way. I want to be mindful to only texturize and thin each section one time the first pass through. So now I'm going to take my vertical section. I'm going to hold this out 90 ° from the head and then with my scissor I'm going to take the straight blade underneath and the tooth blade on top. Hit it right in the middle and then once towards the ends. Right in the middle, once towards the ends. Pull that hair out. So I hit, hit. Maybe on the longer lengths I hit it three times. I just want to go through, remove some weight and build some softness on the tips. I'm not trying to thin the snot out of this to where it becomes real wispy. I still want to maintain my blunt shape, but I want to go through and remove some of that weight so it's more pliable and easier to move around. Now I'll pin that hair out of the way. I'll take my next section, pull that out and I'm going to do the same thing.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   And as I start to do this I get a feel for where the hair is thicker and where the hair is thinner. So where it's thicker you can see where it's thicker right there and it's thicker here underneath. So where it's thicker underneath I may hit it a little bit more to even that out. Where it's thinner like right through there maybe I just do the tips. Thicker here all the way through. And that way I can even out the thickness and the thinness. Like right here you see nothing so I'll just do underneath and just a little bit on the tips. And that goes through and gives me a nice even amount of texturizing from about middle the way underneath only on the surface layer on the top. So we're going to go through same thing on the other side.   Top Section of the Taylor Swift Haircut Now as I'm working on the top section I want to maintain a really blunt heavy shape. I just don't want it blunt and heavy underneath. So I'm going to start pivoting out of the crown. I'm going to comb this hair at peak elevation which is going to be right there. And I'm only going to do the very tips. I'm not going to worry about thickness on the top because I want that, but I do want the ends to have movement and swing and pliability. So we're going to pull that out at peak curvature, ribbon that together and then only work on the last 2" of the hair. Continue to work that all the way around. Let's see. Let's take a little bit of that. I'm going to pull this out over the ear just to maintain some solidity over the ear. Get that out of the way. This is not going to matter because we're going to do a heavy bang on you. So we're going to do it anyway. Now we're going to go through and do the same thing on the other side.   Give us a thumbs up, click the subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Bangs Now let's move on to the bangs or the fringe if you want to be fancy. Now to make sure that we have a really heavy fringe we're going to have to add more bangs, more hair to the bang section than we would normally do. A normal bang section, unless their hair is very very thick, it's not going to give you enough solidity to make that real heavy. The normal bang will go to the center of the recession and the first curvature of the head on the hairline, right on the parting. So now this would be the normal amount of bangs per this person's head shape. It's not enough to make a real heavy bang so we're going to have to add a little bit more. How much more do you add? It all depends. So we're going to start here and get our basic shape in and then we're going to add a little bit more when it's wet. We're gonna get to the point where we think it's right, blow it dry and add more if we need to. It's going to be a trial and error sort of approach because we don't know exactly how much hair it's going to take to make that bang kind of heavy. So to keep the bangs solid but still have some softness on the ends, I'm going to use my Feather Styling Razor. And I'm using the fancy silver one because it's fancy. I'm going to comb everything forward. I want this to be right at the bridge of her nose. So I'm going to pull this forward. The bridge of the nose is there and I'm going to go a little longer and then lay the razor right there and take a stroke of about an inch. That way I can keep everything nice and heavy but still have a little bit of movement to it. Now on the side pulling this forward but because I'm going to elevate it a little bit on this side I'm not going with the curvature of the head. I'm going to elevate it a little bit. It's going to get a little longer towards the edges. Lift up. Elevate. There's my line about an inch through. And I think that's looking pretty good. Same thing on the other side. Make sure I elevate my knuckles and keeping my finger tip right exactly where I cut the previously cut section. Same razor stroke. If I can help it, cut that down and through. Now knowing that this is going to shrink up a little bit when it's dry, I want that to hit right at the bottom of her eyeball. That way it shrinks up a little bit and it's still below her brow and we can kind of sweep it over to the left or sweep it over to the right.   Adding More Fringe to the Taylor Swift Haircut If I feel I need to fine-tune this, I can fine-tune it with my Tokyo Thinning Scissors. Now I think she needs a little bit more density to this. So we're going to add a little bit more. The way I'm going to do that is I'm going to keep my go-to point the same and add a little bit more hair from the parting. Pin that out of the way. Now that's going to add a little bit more density to this and make this a little bit stronger and heavier. Since I'm using a razor and the hair is getting a little damp, I could use water but if I use a little bit of Jatai Blade Glide it makes everything easier to comb and makes my blade slide through the hair easier for better more consistent results. Comb everything through and smooth. There is my line. A little shorter stroke, not as broad right through there. Next piece, same methodology I was using before. There's my line. Cut that down and through. Next section, the other side down and through. That might be enough. So since I think it might be enough we're going to go through and blow it dry and then take a look at it and see if we need to add more. Looking pretty good. Now after blowing dry it seems that the way that the head curvatures on my model here, this hair here in the back wants to flow forward. So I'm just going to go ahead and add a little bit more to her fringe to her bangs. So I'll separate that where that hair is wanting to fall forward. I will pin this hair back. Look and see where it's wanting to come from and that seems about it. I don't want to use a razor on dry hair because it tends to explode the cuticle. I'm going to go through and use my Tokyo Thinning Scissors again and get me a razor sort of texture without using a razor. So I'll just start and vary in and out as I go through and cut anything that hangs over my fringe off. So I'll take comb the same way I was with the razor. There's my line and I'm varying in and out and just cutting anything that hangs over off. That's going to give me a nice heavy solid bang. If I feel I need to clean something up I shall go through and clean that up with my thinning scissors. This side not as much.   Taylor Swift Haircut Final Look Let's put a little hairspray on you right there. Little hairspray right there. There we go. Nice. A little swept over. Just a little bit. Just to get it out of her eyes like she wears in a lot of her pictures where it's longer or you can wear it heavy straight down. I think the end result looks pretty good. We got a nice little beveling in the bottom to soften it up, but it still has a heavy solid bob shape and then we have a little bit of a solid bang. And I think about the bottom of the eyeball is about the perfect length for this kind of in-your-eye in-your-face bang without being completely irritating. That'll probably only last a week or two depending on how fast their hair grows. But anyway I think it looks pretty good. Please check out the Jatai Academy.

One of the most fundamental techniques you should know as a hair professional is how to cut a blunt bob. The scissor techniques needed to get a perfectly straight blunt line takes skill and practice. But once you master how to do a blunt cut you can use these skills to do different kinds of haircuts like a medium blunt bob or a short angled bobs. Watch this video tutorial and follow along with the transcript below.   How to Cut a Blunt Bob:   Welcome back to the Jatai Academy! Today we're going to be doing an in-depth study of how to get a perfect solid one length line, all the things that you need to know, all the little tricks and all the habits that you need to practice to make sure that you can get a perfect one length blunt line and how to do a blunt haircut. So let's get started.   Sectioning The first thing I want to do is I want to go through and use a little bit of cutting lotion just to make sure that the hair has an even wetness, that it's easy to comb and glide everything through the hair so when I'm taking my sections and combing, I'm not fighting the sections. I like to use Jatai Blade Glide. It's nice. It's light and will not weigh down even the finest hair, but it constricts the cuticle and makes cutting so much smoother and so much easier. I took a natural center part down to the occipital bone, occipital bone to the mastoid. If the hair is really thick I will separate this in half. Very rarely do I ever take this into thirds because most hair is not really that thick so that brings me to the first concept is you can't have a section that's too thick or too thin. If the sections too thick then it's going to create a whole lot of scissor push which I'll get to in a second. But if it's too thin as well it's not going to give you a clean enough solid line that you can build off of and it makes subsequent sections harder to match. So I want enough thickness to where I can't really see through it but I don't want so much thickness that it makes my scissors push. The next thing we want to focus on is having a very very sharp scissor. The sharper your scissor the cleaner the cut that you're going to be able to make and also the thicker the sections that you're going to be able to work with.   Choosing the Right Scissor when Learning How to Cut Blunt Bob I'm using the Kyoto Scissor from Jatai. It has a nice fat blade. It has enough scissor weight behind it that I can really get behind and make sure I have a clean cut. What you're going to see a lot of times when people cut hair is it's going to look like I cut, I go in cut, and I go in. So when I do it fast it looks like that, but in reality what I'm doing is I put the scissor in and as I close the blade I cut on the backstroke. This will compensate for the amount of scissor push that I'm going to get. A sharper scissor is going to require less backstroke which will give you a cleaner cut line. Also, the sharper the scissor is the cleaner that it's going to cut the ends of the hair. If it cuts it kind of jagged, it's going to look kind of fuzzy so I want a nice sharp clean scissor.   Combing the Section Now from here I want to focus on how I'm combing the section. You'll notice when I hold the comb it's two fingers on one side, a thumb and a pinky on the other side. So that allows me to flip the comb and control it like this which is important for building tension. So I'll go through, I'll take a section right in the center. Each section that I take is going to be a flat section of head. So when I hold the comb against the head it's going to be flat. So I'm not cutting across any curved sections. So now from here I comb away from me so that I make sure I get all the hair at the scalp combed clean. If I don't get the hair combed clean from the scalp it's going to leave me an inconsistently cut line. So comb with the teeth facing away from my fingers and then I rock and rotate and I put my finger in. I just hold, put the finger on top. I do not drag that finger through creating any kind of tension. The only tension that this section has is the tension that was created in the comb. Now from here I want the comb to be perpendicular to the hair. I'm not going to turn this up and make it easier for me to see. I want to make sure that this is perpendicular to the hair where I want the line to be cut.   Making the Cut Scissor push is compensated for. Cutting on the backstroke. Now we have a perfectly clean cut line. On a human I will comb that down, get that little piece out of the way, and then cut this on the skin to compensate for any graduation that I get from my fingers. The next section, I will then with the head comb straight down. I'll compensate. So this is the angle. It matches on both sides so I comb that section, T to my parting. I do not put my fingers in, create tension and drag that section because then I'm going to have inconsistent tension throughout the section because my fingers are not going to be perfectly even. I'm going to have gaps. And where I have gaps it's not going to create the same tension. So I'm going to comb this down. The only tension that's being created is from the comb. Plant my finger. There's my guide. Put my scissor in. Cut on the back stroke to compensate. Boom! Perfectly clean blunt solid line. And we're going to do the same thing on the other side and match that as best we can. Comb down, create my tension, there's my scissor guide from the previous section in the center. Compensate. Check that out. Here I'm going to look and see if my sides are even and it looks like the left is a little longer. So instead of freaking out and crying I'm just going to go back and cut that side a little bit shorter. And I will take that in baby steps. And there is my line. Cut that down and through. Boom. A little nibble right there. Now let's check and see and that's looking pretty good. Now we've got our first section. So now we're going to go through and take a parallel section to that previous section which was what we took in the very beginning. Now we're going to take the rest of this section that we sectioned off in the nape and I'm going to go through and do exactly the same thing that I did before.   Cutting on Top of the Previously Cut Section in this Blunt Shoulder Length Bob Take the center section again. I want to make sure that it's flat. Comb that down. The only tension I get is from the comb itself. I'll lay my fingers right there where the previously cut section was, find my guide underneath, go through, compensate for scissor push and we are going to do what is technically the hardest thing to do in cutting hair and that's cutting this section directly on top of the previously cut section. That's the hardest thing you'll ever do when you're trying to cut hair. Everything else pales in difficulty compared to this section right here because I cannot be longer which this, if I'm like really neurotic about it is a little bit longer. So I'm going to go back in and try to cut just a whisper of hair off. That brings me to the next point that we really need to pay attention to and that is consistency of technique. So when we comb it's consistent every time that we comb down and through. When I hold it it's consistently the same and when I cut it's consistently the same. If it's not I'm going to have a lot of difficulty. Let me cut this. I can't talk and cut at the same time. I'm going to have a lot of difficulty repeating my cut line so I have to practice and comb and rehearse my skills over and over and over again just like a piano player would play, you know the scales and the chopsticks or whatever finger exercises that they have to get so that they can repeat the method every time and be exactly the same. That's only going to come with practice. Next section. Comb clean from the root all the way down through. There is my previously cut guide. Cut on top of that and that actually looks pretty good. I'm impressed by that section there. Wow. Don't expect that level of quality every time I cut but sometimes you're going to hit it right on top. You're going to hit the nail in the head. Remember it's not about being perfect on every little section. It's about you're perfect the majority of the haircut because there are going to be sections that I cut on this haircut that are not going to be right. They're going to be a little too short. They're going to be a little too long. A little too long is easier to fix than a little too short because if I go a little too short then I have to go back and cut the whole thing again just a little bit shorter. If it's a little bit longer it's easy to go back in and clean that up. So now we're going to look at this, see how that's looking and I got a little graduation right here. So I'm going to comb that down in my comb, cut that little bit off. Easy right? Easy. It's a simple concept but it's not easy to execute. You have to practice and be diligent with your technique to get this really clean. So now let's just continue on.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Starting in the center again where it's flat, get all this hair out of the way. Make sure the head is even and she's not sitting all cockeyed. Comb clean from the root all the way down, flip the comb creates the tension, plant my fingers. There's my guide. Cut directly on top of my previously cut section. Not shorter. Not longer. Directly on top. We've got everything done up into the ear section. So now we're going to bring this section down and I'm going to go through and do the same thing I was doing before just continuing to go up the head taking each individual subsection, combing everything down including the previously cut sections as my guide.   Compensating for the Ear And as I go up it gets easier and easier to see my guide. Now as I start to come around to the ear I have to approach that in a different way because I have this protrusion sticking out from the head that if I just comb the hair over it and pull it down it's going to compress the ear and then when I let go the ears going to flip up and then it's going to make this section get shorter. So what I'll do is I'll cut all the way up to the ear, get the ear hair and the ear out of the way so I don't have to deal with it until it's absolutely necessary. There's my guide. Cut directly on top of that as best you can. Clean that up as best as you can. Now as I come to the ear the way I'm going to deal with that is...there's a lot of different ways to deal with this section. There's no one way that is the end all be all way because the hair is different. Some hair is more voluminous and it gives you a lot more slop factor so it gives you more of a safety net that you don't have to worry about it. Thinner hair you have to worry about it more because it's more visible and it shows all the flaws of your technique. And if that hair gets shorter because I pulled it down, it's going to spring up. My line is going to go nice and straight and then have a nice little hole and continue straight again forward. So what I tend to do is I'll take the ear section, I'll comb everything down over the ear. Make sure that I go underneath the ear as I continue down and once I get here I'll gently hold the hair take the scissor and push under the ear so it starts to see the ear protrude from that section and it allows this hair right here to get pulled up. And then I will hold that down and cut that straight across. So now when I comb this down you're going to see how that gets a little bit longer right through there. I'm going to then ignore that because I have to cut it again once it's dry to clean it up. So that gives me a compensation over the ear so that when I dry it there I can fine tune it. Dry hair is not going to be as susceptible to graduation elevation from tension or through the protrusion of the ear as wet hair will be. The next section comb that straight down, no tension. There's my guide. Cut that straight and through. We're going to check and make sure our sides are even and that's looking pretty good. Now we're going to continue on until we run out of hair. Alright, so I think we got everything looking pretty good. So now let's go through and blow it dry. I'm going to blow dry as straight and as smooth as I can so that we can reveal the cut line as cleanly as we can reveal it.   Follow us on your favorite social media platform @jataifeather   Blow Drying & Styling the Short Blunt Cut Bob Hairstyle So we've gone through and blown everything dry. Got everything nice and smooth. Now I'm just going to go through and comb everything down and its natural fall and especially over the ears here to see if my little ear push compensated enough or it was too much. So we're going to comb everything down and I'm going to look and it looks like I've got a little bit right through there so I'm just going to go through and just freehand and take anything off right through there that I feel like doesn't really fit. Get that out of your face. There you go. You look like a million dollars. Thanks for watching. Please check out the Jatai Academy.

When you look at pictures of blunt haircuts, you might see a blunt bob with fringe, a blunt bob with side part, chin bob hairstyles or short angled bob haircuts. Blunt haircuts have many looks. Creating that perfectly straight line can be a defining feature of the look you're trying to create so it's best to know proper technique so you too can have the perfect blunt line. When it comes to hairstyles, doing a blunt cut bob for fine hair is pretty much the same as cutting a mid length bob for thick hair. The difference is that with fine hair you have to be more careful as you will see any flaws in your technique. Master this technique and you can do a blunt line on any type of hair with ease.   Tutorial

You probably know what a pixie cut is, but do you know what a long pixie is? Pixies are generally very short on the sides and around the nape. They can be short on the top as well. But a long pixie is just longer on all sides. In this video below you will learn how to cut a long pixie cut using a razor and scissors. You can follow allow with the video and the transcript. This is not a DIY pixie cut tutorial where you learn how to do a pixie cut at home. This is for professional stylists. Take this pixie cut step by step and you'll gain valuable insight on how to use the Feather Plier Razor to sculpt the hair with unparalleled precision. Russell teaches you how to balance proportions, create texture, and how to make your cut fit your clients head shape to accentuate facial features. But this isn't just about technique - it's about creativity and self-expression and the ability to customize your haircut. How to Cut a Long Pixie Cut with Fringe Welcome to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a pixie but we're going to be doing a long pixie. So let's get started. Pixies are short. They're short haircuts. They're usually a little feminine, shorter around the ears and around the nape. That is the main characteristic of it. Sometimes a pixie is the same length all the way around with it being really cropped on top. That would be a short pixie, a Rosemary's Baby kind of pixie. We're going to be doing something a little longer on the top so I want to keep this around the nose but I still want to keep this short over the ears and the nape. So we're going to do a little disconnection on top and give us a little moppy hair that can kind of flows back and forth.   The Sides of the Long Pixie So I've got the top sectioned out from the bottom on both sides. Now I'm going to go through and I'm going to take a vertical section that is going to be parallel to my front hairline. That section is also going to be parallel to this hairline behind the ear. The doll head is a little bit off, but it's the same on all humans. This front hairline will be parallel to the hairline behind the ear so I'm going to work on that as I go. Working on an angle as opposed to being straight up and down gives the hair a little bit better flow. So I'm going to start with my Feather Plier Razor. I'm going to pull this forward, T to my parting. I want to leave this front longer and then this back shorter. So we're going to pull that forward. We're going to start up here in the front. I'm going to leave that longer and real gently take that shorter at the ear. I'll take a parallel section. Pin that hair out of the way. Now I'm going to combine these two sections together. I'm going take the front, the first section and the second section. Combine them and pull that forward to the front section, not in the center of both of them but to the front. Elevate out. Get my razor ready. There's my guide from underneath. So a nice smooth razor stroke as I go back. We're going to go through and I'm going to continue working this guide all the way back into the center of the head, pulling each section to the previous section. Comb to the previous section. I got my length there in the front. Continuing that shorter as I get to the ear. Now as I'm going from the ear down to the nape this is going to get really short really quick because I'm going from this length at the ear continuing that angle of getting shorter as I go into the nape. So now we have a nice smooth transition from the sides into the back. Next section. Keep that parallel to my previous section combing into the previously cut section. There's my guide. Nice broad stroke as I'm working that down and through into the nape. Going to continue on. We got probably two more sections here. There's my section as a guideline. Continue that. Come here. Continue that down and through. Now just because I'm using a razor does not mean that I can be really sloppy with my technique. I still want to maintain a solid technique, a solid approach to my technique. That's looking pretty good. And then our last section on the right side. Here's my guide.   Follow us on your favorite social media platform @jataifeather   Combing into the previously cut section, shorter at the bottom longer at the top. Cleaning up this very bottom bit through here. Just pinch being respectful of the blade as I go through. Now as I'm using a razor you know I want to use something that's going to be sharp. It has to be a sharp blade. If it's a dull blade it's going to start to push the hair so I want to make sure that my blades are sharp and that I have a nice balanced handle. So the Plier is the cleanest cut and gives me the most control over any razor that I have. I have other razors like my Feather Styling Razor and this is good for starting but it's not going to be as precise a cut as my Feather Plier.   Addressing the Back of the Long Pixie We've got the right side done. Now let's go through and do the same thing on the other side. So now that I finished the underneath hair, the short part that I've got that cropped in like I want, I'm going to go through and separate the top from the front to the back. I'm going to take a center part to the crown. From the crown I'm going to go to the ear, the quarter part and separate the front from the back. And now from here I'm going to take a diagonal section. Pick up my hair from underneath and blend that through. If the hair starts to get too dry I'm going to use Jatai Blade Glide to go through and re-wet the hair. So not only does this re-wet it and keep the moisture, it also gives me a little bit of slip so when I'm cutting with the razor it gives me a cleaner cut and it doesn't catch. So now when I go through I'm going to comb this section over to the side, hold it out at the curvature of the head, peak elevation, which is that elevation right there. Follow the guide that I have cut underneath. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start building up some weight. So as I start to build up weight that's going to build up some length on the top as well and give me more of a moppy look. Hold off the peak curvature. There's my line from underneath. Take a broad stroke and cut that through. And when I comb I'm looking for any kind of weight that doesn't seamlessly blend in with the rest of the hair. As I comb this way, I comb that way, I comb back and forth I want to see if anything pops out and then I'll recheck that section to see if I need to cut more. I'll do this until I get to the center which is going to be this last section. Oops! Same thing as before. Peak curvature. There's my line. A nice broad soft stroke. Check. Make sure there's no weight. It all blends perfectly. Now we're going to do the same thing on the other side. So now let's move on to the top, the rest of the top and we're going to do the same thing we did in the back. I'm going to take a parallel section to the section I had underneath. Comb that down. This is my short piece and I want this to kind of go about to the tip of the nose and I want to keep that fairly heavy. So I'm going to go off of the peak curvature of the head. That's going to be my elevation. I'm not really worried if this blends with the hair underneath. I'm worried more that it blends with the hair in the back and it's getting to that length of right around the tip of the nose around the front. Parallel section. Keeping this really really soft with a broad stroke. I can always go back and blunt that shape up but it's harder for me to go back and soften it after I've already cut the shape so I want to be very very conscientious of how soft I make it as my first pass. Addressing the Crown of the Long Pixie In the last section on this side again going off the peak curvature of elevation so I know exactly the angle that I'm going to hold it at for every section. And then that way it makes it easy to repeat on the opposite side. We've got this section finished here. Everything's looking pretty good. I got the length that I want around the face. I got that blended through into the back. I got it nice and cropped over the ear. So now let's go through and do the same thing on the other side. We got our basic shape done. I think we're looking pretty good. We got the length pretty good around the front where I like it. I think she's a little fluffy right here on the sides and in the nape and also I want to go through and put some texture through here in the top and right around the front here because I feel like it needs some more texture and some separation to it so it doesn't look as solid and as frumpy. So lets address this fluffy pixie cut.   Adding Texture and Removing Weight to Finish the Long Pixie Haircut So in order to put some texture into it I'm going to go through and use my Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors. This is a nice way to remove a lot of weight or a little weight depending upon how many times you hit it and how close to the scalp you go. So we're going to start here on the sides. I'm going to pin this hair out of the way and I just want to fit this in a little bit tighter through here. So we're going to start at the bottom and I'm going to go about halfway into the length of the hair and I'm going to hit this several times so I start to remove more of that weight internally. Also, these mannequin heads can get a little pokey on the sides so taking that down a little bit will certainly alleviate that kind of puff. Same thing here in the nape. I want to go through fit that in a little bit closer down at the nape. Soften that up. So I'm going deeper down at the bottom to remove weight and then as I get to the top I'm just blending those textures through.   If you haven't already give us a thumbs up, click the subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now I'm going to go through and take some weight out of the crown here. Now this I'm going to completely just kind of disconnect and not worry about blending it through. I just want to go through and take this shorter through here just to get some separation, some weightlessness, some texture to it and a little softer in the crown. So if I want to spike this up a little bit I can have a little bit more movement to it and a little bit more texture. So just right there and the crown pulling everything up taking that a little shorter through there and then I want to go through and take some weight off of this very very front. I'm going to leave some weight right here in the middle so I still have that flow and that movement and that weighty kind of pixey look to it but around the edges I'm taking that a little softer, just pulling a vertical section up, taking that through if I need to. Point cut some areas where it feels a little thicker right here. The last section right there. Yes that's better. Now we can kind of see through a little bit when we go to the side. I like that better. I think that that texturizing with my Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors underneath really helped make the shape pop it took and instead of this being quite so thick and so voluminous it really kind of softened this whole underneath and made it much more pliable and I think more pleasing to the eye and also making it a little bit more airy around the front. I think it really added to this as well. So if you have any questions or comments about how to cut hair into a pixie please let us know. Let us know what you'd like to see in the future.

What is a lob? A lob is basically a long bob. With hair that goes just past the shoulders, the lob is a popular women's haircut. With a messy lob, this means the lob has more texture and is not just one length or a blunt haircut. It has movement, depth and dimension. The best way to achieve this is to include the use of a razor. In this tutorial, Russell Mayes, Director of Content for Jatai, will show how to cut a straight long bob in an easy to understand fashion. You can watch the video below and follow along with the transcript. So forget about the long concave bob, long angled bobs, long swing bobs or graduated long bob hairstyles. This is all about the messy lob. FYI: This is not a long bob DIY to teach you how to cut a long bob yourself. This is for hair professionals. Enjoy! How to Cut a Long Bob Hairstyle (Messy Lob Tutorial):     Welcome to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be doing a lob with texture otherwise known as the messy lob. So let's get started. So the difficult thing about doing a lob that's kind of messy is to make it look like it's supposed to look that way. So what we want to keep in mind is that we still want a really solid lob shape with a lot of internal texture near the end so you can get that messy shape but still have enough weight and solidity to really hold that lob look. So I'm going to start with my Jatai Osaka Scissors. So this is a little longer blade. It's a nice sharp clean edge so that when I go through and point cut the bottom I can still have a nice solid clean shape.   Sectioning the Hair First thing we're going to do is take a natural or center part to the occipital bone, occipital bone to the mastoid on both sides. This gives me enough hair that I can really start to build my lob shape. Let too little hair and I start to guess where the shape is and I don't have a good enough guide for the next sections that I start cutting. So I'm going to make sure it's directly in front of me. Tilt the head down a little bit. When I'm combing, I'm combing away from me to make sure I get everything clean at the roots all the way through.   Point Cutting for a Solid, Clean Shape About halfway I'll tilt the comb make sure that's the only texture that I'll get. I'll lay my finger right there where I want to cut. Ring finger will support. And then I'm going to go through as I point cut that line across. Clean up a little bit where I need to. That's going to be my baseline of my length for the entirety of the shape. Next piece, comb this down, there's my length. Go through point cut that. I want to try to keep my point cuts about the same level of depth throughout the whole perimeter shape meaning I don't want one area to be texturized deeper, point cut deeper than another area. It's going to take a little bit of practice, but you'll get the hang of it soon enough. Next section, comb down, tilt the comb, create the tension, put my fingers in there. I went a little bit too far. Go back. There's my guide. Point cut that through. Try to match the depth of my point cut and the length. So this is going to take a little bit of practice and a little bit of control of your scissor blade making sure you don't cut yourself as I'm going through and point cutting this the same depth all the way around. After I do that I'll come in and check and see oh that looks fairly even. I got a few long little sprigs there. We'll cut those. And now I've got my basic shape in here. That is going to be my guide for the entirety of this haircut. Now from here I want to maintain this same sectioning as I go up the head. So I'm going to take from the top of the ear. There's my center. I'm going to follow that same section all the way through. Pin this up out of the way. Make sure that that matches the same angle and then do the same thing on the other side. So I've got my guide from underneath and I'm just going to go through and work this like I would do a on length bob, the only difference being that I'm deep point cutting each section instead of cutting it blunt. Now as I go through and I cut this on top of my guide I want to be mindful that I'm not cutting it shorter than my guide. That's the hardest thing about cutting hair is staying on top of your previously cut guide. There's my guide especially when you're going through and doing something as soft and as textured as a deep point cut like this. Cutting from the center going forward on both sides. Find the next flat section. There's my parting and then I want to draw that all the way through and around. Make sure that that parting is parallel. What will happen a lot of times is as people take this parting as they're sectioning into the side they change the angle. And what happens is they end up taking an angle that's something like this where it starts becoming a more vertical angle as opposed to a more horizontal angle. So I want to make sure I can keep everything the same as I go up. It makes for a much more consistent haircut and it takes a little bit of practice. Okay it...okay it takes a lot of practice. Small piece underneath as my guide. Piece from the back as my guide. Go through point cut that through. Comb nice and smooth, even, no tension, Tension. The only tension that I put in here with my fingers is when I grab it to cut it. The only other tension that I'm getting is from the comb pulling it through and me flipping my comb. Since my parting is the same on both sides I know that if I comb that T to my parting that my angles will match on both sides because not only do I have a guide of length underneath I have a guide of where I'm combing each section from my parting. A little bit right there. I want to clean up but I'm not being real precise and anal about every little hair here on the bottom being exactly the same length. It's a messy lob so I need the softness of that texture to soften the structure but because I'm cutting it blunt with a scissor it's still going to maintain a solid shape when it falls. I comb it down. There's very little that reaches. And just comb down and cut anything that hangs over off. There we got a little bit of hair there in the front and that brings us to our lob shape being completed. Depending upon the type of hair that you're working on, the texture of it and how much separation that you really want for your end result is going to determine what type of tool I use.   Creating Texture in the Lob Haircut If I want something that's going to be flicky then I'm going to use my Feather Plier Razor because that allows me to channel it and make the hair separate into pieces more. So what we're going to do is we're going to start with hair underneath in the nape. So I'm going to go through and take a vertical section here and apply my texture. If I take a horizontal section it's going to be a more solid shape. If I take a more vertical section it can be more flicky from my separation when I go through and channel it. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to hold this section 90 ° from the head. There's my angle. We're going to take my Feather Plier Razor and I'm going to go through about halfway and channel that down and through. Where it's thicker I'll take a little bit more. Where it's not as thick I'll take a little bit less. That will be my first section. Now I want to go through and kind of move that and see if that's giving me the kind of flicky separation and giving me enough down there on the bottom before I move on. Because it's hard to come back to it so I want to check this out and see and I'm thinking that that's looking pretty good. I'll take the next section which will be another section right and as I start to walk back I will comb this section completely out of the way. I don't want to texturize it again. Hold that out. This is a little thinner so I'll take a little bit less through there. Pull that out of the way a little bit more right through there. Get my separation into it, check it out. And that's looking pretty good. Now I'm going to walk this all the way over to the other side of the head. Come through. A good channel through this piece here. And that's looking pretty good. Close my blade as I continue on section by section and just texturize the whole top of it exactly the same way that I'm doing around the front. This is a little thinner so it's not going to get as much texture but each channel will be more severe.   Follow us on your favorite social media platform @jataifeather   Final Look of the Long Bob Haircut with Layers Alright. Here's our finished result. We've got a nice bit of texture into it.

In this tutorial, learn how to create a mohawk hairstyle for women using scissors and a razor to add texture and dimension to natural hair. A mohawk cut generally has a hard and edgy look and is reserved for those who want to make a fashion statement. Mohawks are characterized by very short sides and a strip of longer hair running down the middle of the head. The longer hair can be styled into spikes that stick up using hair spray or gel to keep the hold and make it last longer. But not all mohawks need spikes. Doing a search of mohawks you will notice there are many different types of mohawk hairstyles. They can be short or long or wide and narrow. But in this video, we'll guide you through each step of the process, focusing on achieving balance between edgy and feminine. You can watch the video below and follow along with the script below.   Mohawk Cut Video Tutorial: Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be taking a classic punk rock shape and seeing if we can glamorize it and make it pretty. The mohawk. Let's get started. When you're doing these punk rock shapes, these classic punk rock shapes, it's kind of difficult to glamorize it because originally the shapes you know were not meant to be glamorized or pretty. If anything, it was the exact opposite. They were meant to be really hard and edgy and anti-fashion. So to glamorize it and make it pretty is not always the easiest thing to do. You know haircuts like the mohawk or the Chelsea things like that they're meant to be edgy for a reason. So if you're going to do something that's going to be glamorized especially with a mohawk you have to make sure that it fits the head properly. There's a couple of things that we need to consider when we're doing this is how wide the mohawk is going to be. Technically, it can't be any wider than the top of the recession because anything lower than that where it starts to roll down the head, when it goes up it doesn't fit right on the head, it's like a hat being too little and it just it just looks silly. It can't hang all the way over and look like a proper mohawk. You can go narrower but you can't go wider than the top of the recession and still have that classic shape.   Sectioning Your Mohawk Cut So what we've done is we've gone about to the center of the eyeball. We're going to make it a little bit more narrow than max. And then as we're going towards the back, I'm bringing that down uh a little bit more narrow in the nape. So I want fuller, more narrow in the nape. So we've gone through and sectioned that out. Now as I go through and I start working on the sides, I have a couple of things to consider. How short do I want to take this and what texture do I want? The shorter that the sides go, the edgier and the harder that it looks. Thinning Scissor to Cut the Sides of the Mohawk Hair Cut So what I'm going to do is I'm going to try to get it short but I want to keep the texture soft. So by going through and cutting it with my Tokyo Thinning Scissors, I'm going to scissor over comb this whole thing underneath on the bottom so I can get it short but it will still maintain that really soft shape. I think what I'm going to try to do as well is leave a little bit of hair right here in front of the ear to have a little bit more softness right through there. So I don't need all of this hair. So let's get rid of it and we'll start scissor over combing. To keep this little bit of hair here, I'm going to lift that up a little higher than I would normally start my scissor over comb and start here a little higher as I continue to go up. And this is just going to be practice of my scissor over comb technique going from shorter around the edges, a little longer towards the top. Now going through with a thinning scissor like this and doing my scissor over comb it certainly takes a lot longer to do but it gives me a texture that I can't get any other way. So just be patient. Scissor over comb. Now we're starting to develop our shape through here. I want to leave a little bit of that hair right there over the ear. Right now I may cut that shorter. Now we're beginning to look nice through there. I think I'm going to take that a little bit shorter. Now I think that's looking pretty good. Now we've gone through, we've got everything cut nice and short but it has a very distinct fur-ish texture to it because it's not all cut really blunt with the clippers. You could certainly go through with the clipper and do this really short if you wanted to. I'm just experimenting with something that's going to give it more texture and give it a little bit more softness to it. You can certainly do this with scissor over comb, clipper over comb, razor it if you want to leave it longer. You got a lot of options. I'm going with this short crop but really softly textured kind of look. After I've got this side done, I'm going to go through and do the exact same thing on the other side. As I'm going through with my scissor over comb with my thinning scissor, I'll start very very slowly and methodically. And I don't have to worry about being real precise with this like I would be if I was using a straight scissor because each individual cut that I put on here is not going to cut a straight line. It's going to cut a straight line with the thinning teeth but I have to go through and hit it two or three, four, you know five times to get it to start to remove length. So I'm going to start slow. I lift up a little bit to leave some length there. Lift up slow and then go through. Now when you first start trying to do something like this it's a lot of scissor action so you're going to get some forearm cramping and maybe some thumb cramping but as you do this over time your hands will strengthen, and you'll get better at it and you'll get stronger at it and be able to go a longer period of time. Your stamina will build up. So it just takes time, just takes practice. So yes, it's tedious but sometimes the tedium is worth it.   Razor Cutting the Middle Strip of Hair So I will start with a center section. Lay the comb against the head where it's flat. That's going to determine the width of my section. I'm going to take that straight back and all the way through. So I've got my center section all the way through down into the nape. To keep this texture really soft I'm going to go through and use my Jatai Feather Razor to make sure I can keep all the texture the same as the softening on the sides and also to add a little texture to the internals if I need it. So I'll pull this up and out. There's my guide length in the front, lay my thumb on the blade gently and just go through, cut my shape all the way through. Take a small piece of my guide for my previously cut section. The next section, hold that out 90 ° from the head. There's my length that I'm cutting from. Lay my thumb just gently against the side of the blade put pressure against the hair and then cut that off. Very easy, very simple. I can get a nice soft but yet solid texture by going through and using my razor this way. 90 ° all the way through, leaving a little longer as I get to the nape, checking my shape making sure everything is nice and even. If that's too long, which I think it is, I'm going to go through change my angle here underneath. Blend that through. Come here. There we go. Now after I've gone through and cut my length I'm going to go through and put a little internal texture into the section. Hold that straight up, angle the blade away from me and just go through channel a little bit of that weight out. I don't need a guide. Where the hair feels thicker take a little more. Where it feels thinner take a little less. Okay we got that. Now let's go on to our next section which what I'm going to do is take the center section and the right section, comb those to the center of both of those sections and then use the center as my guide to cut the right side. So right in the center of both of those sections. There's my guide. I'm going to go through, use my guide, cut that off. There's my guide. Continue that line all the way through. Now I'm going to go through remove the very first section that I took. The center section, I'm going to remove and then on the right section, I'm going to add a little bit of texture. Keep this section separated and then take my center section and the left side and I'm going to do the exact same thing. I think that's looking pretty good. So let's go through and blow it dry and style it and see how it does.   The Final Mohawk Haircut Look Got it blown out all glamorous and pretty. I think it looks pretty good. You can certainly make it straight and have it stick straight up you know like zebra hair or something. Um but I think it looks pretty good. So the key thing about going through and doing a very hard edge cut and trying to soften it is to just do that, to soften your lines. So you soften the instead of shaving it to the skin underneath, we're going to thinning scissor it underneath. Instead of this being real hard and blunt edged, we razor it. So it softens up that line. Instead of it just being flat ironed straight completely up in the air, we curled it a little bit. And I think it looks nice. I think it looks pretty.
