Hi, welcome to the channel.
I'm Summer.
Today's haircut tutorial,
we are taking on one of the trending haircuts this year,
the fairy cut.
It is essentially a lot of layers, a lot of texture.
We've got a fringe with it.
We've got a little bit of disconnect with the layers,
but I'm gonna show you exactly the proper sectioning
to take to get the max movement
while keeping length and thickness,
how to make a disconnected layer,
but it blend at the same time,
all that and more.
So with that being said, let's get started.
All right, so we are gonna get started
with our fun layered trending cut.
This is very similar to other previous cuts.
It reminds me of the butterfly,
but with more layers and a much,
much more face frame and sort of like a bang feel to it
than a butterfly cut is a little bit more like lived in
and long and flowy where this has a little bit more texture
and layers all over.
So I slightly have her sectioned off already.
We just have it split at right at the tip,
barely behind the ear here.
It is at the slightest, slightest angle
and all that hair is coming forward.
We've done that on both sides.
And then this is a middle part.
It can be cut on the side.
However, I feel like the way that it's intended
to look right now, it is down the middle.
You could change it, but like a butterfly,
the fairy cut, I feel like it's meant to be down the middle.
And then for right now in the back,
I just have this braided.
It's out of my way.
We're gonna be cutting this last.
So we're starting in the front
and we're gonna be doing three sections
in the front to cut our hair.
We're gonna be doing basically a Mohawk
in the middle that's gonna set our bangs.
And then we're gonna incorporate the sides
in to create that face frame.
So what I'm gonna do for our quote unquote bang section,
typically with bangs, when I take my parting,
I come to be right at the edge of the eyebrow.
Well, for creating our bang section,
I wanna be more so closer to where the arch is.
If somebody has an arch or where their eyebrow curves,
I wanna be on the inside of that line,
which I'll explain that as we go through the video
as to why that is.
But I just wanna be slightly on the inside.
For starters, it's going to create
a little bit of a disconnect
for the fringe to kind of like pop out
and go into the rest of the face frame.
It will blend, but it is gonna be slightly disconnected.
So also another good guideline
is if you're unsure of where to do it,
you're gonna be sort of in that recession area.
So you're looking at me, this is my arch here.
And if I come directly up underneath it is my recession.
So you can also use that as a guide as well.
So I'm gonna first, I gotta block the camera for a second.
Take a look.
I'm gonna just be right here
and I'm gonna go just straight back first with it
to get my section.
See that?
I'm gonna grab all this hair
and then we're gonna do the same on this other side
and go straight back.
So I'm gonna first take a look at this.
And again, I did this with a little foiling comb.
You can do it with a regular comb or clip,
whatever works best.
So I'm a little off base here.
I need to even this out.
She is thicker on this side, which it's fine.
Actually, that's pretty accurate
to most people's hair type.
They're usually thicker on one side over the other,
but I'm gonna show you how to even this out
a little bit more.
So I'm gonna just come back
and it's like this little hump right here
that I need to take out.
Just that you want this line to be as straight as possible.
So I'll show you from a side view.
We just have, I mean, obviously it curves down
with the head, the way that the head is shaped,
but it is overall a straight line.
It's not like lower on one side, higher on the other.
And then we're gonna check that
and make sure it looks good to the other side.
And I'm happy with that.
So I'm on the inside of the edge of that eyebrow,
right in line sort of with the arch and the recession.
So we're right on the inside.
We have a little bit of a edge there.
Hopefully you can see that.
And if you were worried you could come in a little bit,
I am just gonna barely, barely, barely come in on that.
So inside the edge of the eyebrow, close to that arch,
in sort of almost in front of the recession,
give or take how your recession is.
And then this is gonna get clipped up out of the way.
Well, we're actually gonna cut this first,
but I'm clipping it to just show you guys.
And then you have your side sections
that you will actually clip this back
because we're gonna cut the front first and then the sides.
So what essentially we'll be doing,
we're gonna be cutting our guide first,
and it's sort of gonna like flip out
over what the rest of this face frame is.
So this is going to remain a little bit longer
than what we cut our guide as.
But when this thing falls, like I said,
we're still gonna be on the inside
of the edge of the eyebrow.
Okay.
So with this cut, I do break this cut down
as well as some other popular trending cuts right now
on my other channel, Summer Beauty,
where I go through what all the popular trending cuts are.
I'm gonna be doing a series of haircuts on them here.
But on my Summer Beauty channel,
I go a little bit more in depth on your face shapes,
how to determine your face shapes.
And then I break down each cut
with what looks good about the cut per face shape
or how to tweak it to make your face shape
stand out the most.
So I will leave that linked below.
And then, like I said,
we're gonna be doing a series of all those cuts,
but you'll be able to find out
a little bit more information
on how this cut works for each face shape that there is.
So make sure you check that out.
So this whole section is going to be
what we cut into our fringe,
and it's gonna be setting the guide
for our back layers that we'll address later.
And so you wanna determine with your client or yourself,
where do you wanna see your shorter pieces?
I'm gonna be doing this right at the nose here,
so we have a good swoop.
And then depending on how it lays,
I might in the center of this, after it's dry,
cut a little bit more if we need to, but we'll see.
I'm hoping that we don't, because right at that nose,
this is gonna bounce a little and split,
but if we need to take it shorter, we can.
So we're gonna obviously be cutting in sections.
We are not grabbing this and cutting all in one swoop.
We don't do that here.
We work in sections, so we get nice, clean haircuts,
and you're just gonna clip the rest back out of the way.
So I'm gonna come in with my scissors,
and we're gonna be cutting in horizontal sectioning.
So everything is gonna come down.
It's a straight horizontal line.
We're not gonna be coming in vertically
or anything like that, just straight horizontal,
pretty basic cut,
almost as if you're cutting someone's perimeter.
We are slightly off of the face,
just ever so slightly with our position.
So I'm not gonna bring it right smack down to her nose.
We're gonna have it elevated just ever so slightly.
And I will be point cutting,
because this is meant to be a lived-in textured haircut.
I don't want any blunt lines.
So I'm right at the nose,
and we're just gonna point cut.
Let's take a look at that.
This is falling just under the tip.
So again, I've talked about this
in a previous blow-dry video for bangs.
Bangs will shrink up when you go to dry them.
The smaller the brush you use to dry them,
the more bounce and bend you can get in your bang,
which will also make them look shorter.
So we're gonna come in to our next section.
You want it small enough to be able to see that guide.
And for all of this section,
everything is gonna be coming forward
to this bang guide that we've cut
to create our bang in the front,
as well as what will be the guide for our layers in the back.
And we're gonna be point cutting everything.
And then if you want,
you could break this into a couple spots
so you get maximum control to see through your guide.
You don't have to do it all in one pull with your hands.
I'm pulling straight down.
I'm trying to not direct it over to me.
I want it to stay within basically the line of your section.
So keep that in mind.
Try to keep it...
Granted, if I'm cutting in the salon
or you're cutting on yourself,
you have a little bit more control.
And in the salon, I would stand directly in front.
So I have to watch out for that.
But doing this on somebody else
rather than me standing off to an angle
is easier to keep that where you're inside the line.
So just be aware of that.
And then to show you how big my section is
that I'm taking out of time,
we're just coming in about half an inch, I would say.
You know, I'll be able to easily see through to that guide.
So a lot of this haircut is going to be
over-directing everything to one side.
It's sort of like a stationary guide
with how you can do that to create layers.
It has that feel to it, but with a little bit more,
it's like a blend of stationary layers
and like a guide that moves.
Which if you are unfamiliar with that is,
that term stationary layers versus like a traveling guide,
I'll leave a video link below.
I have a haircut that I did one side of the head stationary,
one side of the head traveling,
so you guys get a nice visual difference.
So this is my last section.
Again, we're point cutting,
staying within the line of our section.
So it's like you don't want to color outside of the lines.
You don't want to cut outside of that line if possible.
So now that I have that cut,
I'm just going to check the length here.
So I'm going to grab everything
and I'm going to pull it directly in front to the center,
see if there's anything we need to cut.
I have this one little guy sticking out in this corner.
So now that that's cut,
all I'm going to do first is come in
and I'm just going to point cut this to soften it up.
This is a highly textured haircut,
so we want to create texture.
We don't want our lines to be too blunt.
So I'm just going to lightly point cut at this.
We are going to cut into that later too
with some layers,
but I do want to just soften it up a little bit.
You could break this up if you wanted to as well.
So you get a little bit more control.
You can soften more appropriately
as far as all through this whole section
rather than just, you know, in one little spot.
All right.
So we have all that hair.
And it looks super thick with all this pulled to the front.
This is going to get pushed to the back.
So for now,
I'm just going to flip that back out of the way
because we really only need to focus on this front area
for our next sections,
which are going to be in the side.
And let me spritz down her bangs.
They're a little dry.
Okay.
So now we're going to be moving into the sides.
And what we're going to be doing
is we're going to be taking
my back little braid fell out.
So I'm just going to clip this back hair out of the way.
So I don't grab any of it
and I'll know when I'm done with my front section here.
So for the sides,
we are going to be taking
and over directing to the opposite brow.
And I want to explain to you guys really quick why that is.
So for one, we're going to come in
and we're going to take our sections,
slight diagonals.
So there's a slight angle here.
It's not straight up and down.
We're doing slight diagonals
because we're going to be pulling it
more so diagonally across the face.
And what I'll show you,
what we're going to be doing.
Now, if you wanted something that was like crazy,
crazy on top face framing layers,
you could come
and you could just come and cut this horizontally
the same as we did our bangs.
It's all personal preference.
But what that will do,
if you continue to cut this horizontally with the bang,
it's going to remove a ton of length right around the face.
So if you want something that still has like,
this is going to have a lot of layers and stuff to it,
but it still maintains like a slight traditional sense
as far as the face frame.
It comes down around the face and whatnot.
But if you come and you cut this horizontally,
so there is my guide.
All of this length gets removed.
So you still will have a short to long layer.
So you're still going to go from your short piece here
and the long layer will still flow down.
But your long layer,
it's barely at the jaw here.
So you're really going to take away a lot of length
and a lot of weight.
So this cut is meant to have lots of movement
and lots of shape,
but you still have like the length around the face
to create like a nice face frame.
It's a little bit more lived in
rather than just coming horizontally like that.
And you're like, oh, is this like a mini mullet,
so to speak.
So we're going to be angling and going over the face.
So we'll still be moving in these diagonal sections
where it's just ever so slightly at an angle.
And instead of going horizontally,
we're going to be coming
and we're going to be going over and across the face
to this other point here.
This is going to be our guide.
So we're coming over,
trying to be able to show you guys this.
Let me do it without my scissors first.
We're coming over across the face.
You're going to meet your guide on this other side.
So over and across,
our fingers are at a slight angle
because we are at a slight angle here with our sectioning.
And what that does,
it's still going to go short to long.
Like if you were to do this horizontal,
but you're going to keep much more length around the face.
So your shortest,
your longest piece is going to come down
just above that clavicle.
And then as we go further in the head,
you know, it gets a little bit longer,
but hopefully I explained that right.
It wasn't too long winded
for why we're doing it over and across.
It's to preserve more length
and have more of like a flowy feel.
And when you need to spritz the hair back down, do so.
You don't want the hair to be like too dry
when you're cutting.
So what I'm going to do is
I'm going to first cut a guide here
just because it's sort of hard to grab it
and meet our guide over there.
So I'm just going to take this first little piece
and we're going to pull it over,
coming across the face here.
I'm going to grab my guide
and all I'm going to do is cut down here
because I can see that.
You could also, if you wanted to,
instead of like holding your scissors at first,
you could just comb it
because we don't want to over-direct this up.
You want it to still kind of come down and over.
Same with our bangs.
I'm at my guide.
You could then pick up your scissors
and come down and cut.
So all I did was I took my first guide here.
I brought it over and across
and we just met up with our guide over here.
So it flows in.
So you can see that a little bit better.
Over and across, meet your guide over here.
So that can be the guide now for the rest of your section
because it is a little hard,
especially if you're new,
to get it over and across the way,
especially then pair it with
trying to not block your camera.
It can be challenging.
So we're going to take the next rest of our section.
We have cut this guide,
but we're still going to direct over.
I'm going to let out some of this
because it's too much to hold all in my hands.
And we're just going to cut right down into this.
And you're just going to follow your guide.
Bring it back to the same point.
You're at the edge of that eyebrow
where that other guide is and cut.
So you can see how long that leaves it.
Well, we cut all into this space
and it is still slightly disconnected
from our main bang here,
but this is going to swoop back really nice
to have a little bit of disconnect.
And if we need to blend this in later, we can,
but it's meant to sort of have like a purposeful disconnect.
It still will flow,
but you get like that textured and that more edgy feel
by having some spots a little disconnected.
So I'm going to repeat that all the way through.
So we're just taking our next small diagonal guide.
And now that we've already set our guide over there,
it's going to be a little bit easier.
It's like the first setting of the guide
that can be a little challenging.
But once you have that in place,
it's easier to go over and across.
So we're just going to grab our section.
Doesn't have to be all in one go here,
but coming over the opposite edge of that eyebrow
and you're going to follow your guide
and you can angle your hands
just ever so slightly your fingers.
Make sure you're going all the way over.
And I actually need to angle this
just ever so slightly up here
because I'm at the edge of my eyebrow
and that falls in line a little bit better with the guide.
And then you'll just continue taking those diagonal sections
just like we did before
and finish out the rest of your section
and we'll move into the next one.
Okay, so we have our first side section done
and we're not going to cut into it anymore right now.
We're going to wait
because these are going to be incorporated in later
with the top to create a little bit more layering.
But you can see the slight disconnect
from our original bang
to where it's just slightly longer
that that's going to curve in nice.
And if we need to cut off more later, we can.
And some of it might slightly get snipped
when we go to cut our layers later.
So I'm going to do this other side the same way.
I'm going to first spritz it down
and we're going to cut this exactly the same
where we're going over and across to the opposite side.
And I'm going to clip this hair from the back that fell out.
And again, we're going to be taking those diagonal sections.
You're not going completely vertical.
You want, you know, the slightest angle with it
to help when you're pulling it across
to keep it nice and soft.
And then again, we can choose to set our guide first,
take a little bit of this hair, find your original guide.
So make sure you remove any of these like longer pieces.
So we've combed this over,
angle those fingers down to match the angle of your section.
And you just cut up into that
and now we'll blend in the rest.
We're coming over and across to the edge of our brow.
I'm going to angle this off ever so slightly
and just blend right up into that.
Let's pass that edge just a little bit.
So I'm shortening in this up.
So if you want to be able, after you set your guide,
go ahead and clip the hair out of the way on this other side
so you can see that edge.
So that last piece I just cut,
originally I went a little bit past,
so that's why I shortened it up a tiny bit more.
Come in, take our next section, same diagonal.
And we're going to just do the same steps through this side
and then we will move into cutting our back layers.
Let's do my guide in here.
There we go.
Alrighty, so we have our sides done
and you could have to check your sides right now first
if you wanted to.
Before you move into the back layers,
but because these are going to get layered later,
not so worried about it right now
because that'll change the shape anyways.
So everything will get blended and matched up,
but if you wanted to check, you could.
I have actually a tiny bit of length here,
a little bit of length left on the other side.
So I will check that just to show you guys,
but otherwise you still could wait if you wanted to.
All we're going to do is bring this over
and in here is probably where that starts.
Yep.
And when all else fails, we can just nip it right here.
And just, I can see it right there.
So that was our base length and just right in that middle
and we're good to go.
So now we're going to move into the sides, to the back.
We already did the sides.
I'm going to clip the sides though out of the way
because I don't want to touch them.
I want them in no way, shape or form getting cut.
So I've got those clipped
and we're going to re-spritz this top
as it has dried out on us.
You definitely want to make sure you are cutting the hair
where it's evenly damp everywhere.
If it's too dried out in one spot
and then like soaking wet in another,
you're not going to get, the hair is going to be uneven.
So like where the hair is dry,
it's now technically a little shorter
because when hair is wet, it stretches.
When it's dry, it shrinks.
So that's why you want to keep even saturation
all throughout the hair.
So to blend in our back,
we're going to do it sort of similar
to like traditional layers.
We're going to start, let me take this up.
We are going to just start by going with a traditional
sort of in the middle section, like I do with other layers.
This is going to get combed forward.
You could opt to clip this other hair if you wanted to,
but we're just going to comb it forward.
So what we're going to do to blend in these backs,
what I'm going to take a look at is how are
this front section that got cut as a bang,
how that is looking when I go and lift it all up.
So we did cut this horizontally,
but now I'm going to be moving the back
in more vertical sections.
So when I comb this up,
you can see the natural angle that happens here
because we directed everything forward.
So it goes from short,
these pieces in the front are going to be shorter.
The pieces in the back that got over-directed
are going to be longer.
That's how stationary guide works.
You're moving everything to the same spot
to create your shape.
So we have a nice flow and blend here.
So we're going to kind of be using that
to just flow into the back.
So in the back,
I want to bring this up actually a touch more
because this is going to be too long
for how much layers this one.
So in order to do that, all I'm going to do,
let me lower her.
We're just sort of going to follow the guide that we have,
but we're just going to nick off a little bit more.
We're just going to nick off a little bit more length.
So as you can see, when I comb this all straight up,
you can see that angle flowing.
So we're just going to skim off this longer hair
that's right here.
So it's still going to be going from short to long,
but I'm going to comb up.
I can see my shorter pieces in here.
This is falling out.
So I'm going to use that as the guide
and we're just going to cut right into that.
So this just shortens this up ever so slightly.
So with this cut though,
you still are going to go in the front, shorter layers.
They're still going to be shorter in the back,
but a little bit longer
because we're going to be over directing everything up.
So now that we've done that,
we're going to grab from our little vertical section here
and we're just going to continue adding to it.
It's very easy.
The back is the easiest part, I would say, of this haircut.
You're going to work in just small sections
of your vertical guide here, doing what we just did.
So you're going to lift up.
I'm pulling straight out though
from the section that we're in.
So let me show you guys.
So we're in this vertical section
and I'm pulling it out.
So the head starts curving here.
I don't want to over direct it up too much.
I'm just pulling it straight out
and we're just going to blend in.
So you won't need all this hair in the front,
but come in.
We're angling up.
My shorter piece is right here
and we're just cutting right into that.
And as I move down to the bottom part of that section,
I'm coming out a little bit with it more
to just create a little bit more shape,
but that's going to blow really nice into the base.
So we're going to grab a little bit more hair here.
Same thing, we're just coming out.
You're going to find your previous guide.
So I've got my section is right here and my guide is here.
Let me do that.
Here's my guide.
Here's my long hair.
Grab the rest of this hair.
We're coming out and I'm just twisting
to find my previous guide.
And usually it's sort of down at the bottom.
You're not going to maybe blend in quite the same.
Got some rogue hairs here.
Let me stand behind.
I'm coming out.
Yeah, from this angle I can see a little bit better.
There we go.
All of this just slightly cut.
And come all the way down to that bottom section
and we have just a little bit of length there to cut.
So we're just going to continue rotating through the hair
in these back layers.
We're not going to be bringing everything
to the center though.
We're going to be rounding with the head and like pie shapes
but everything's just going to get brought up and over
to the guide that's in front of you.
So we're coming up.
I'm coming sort of out from my section here.
You can see my guide.
And you can drop the hair in front as you go.
So this cut goes from a lot of short to long
is sort of the promise of this cut.
So you get a lot of shape through the top
but you still have your length.
And if we need to remove more length at the end, we can.
I will say this cut does work best on a mid length.
If it's too long, you just sort of
because it has a lot of layers,
you end up looking maybe a little bit more thin.
So if you like a wispy look, it's fine to leave the length
but if you want a more thicker full through your ends,
you might need to bring it up
which we will probably do with this
because this hair is a little bit more of a medium density.
It's not super crazy thick.
So if you have a lot of hair,
feel free to not worry about cutting the length
but if you're somebody with more medium density
and you want it to look as thick and full as possible,
you're gonna need to wear it mid length
which is maybe just slightly longer than mine.
So you'll just continue doing this,
pulling up and meeting that guide.
So while we are layering all down through the length,
you still are keeping it
but like I said, we might have to lift this a little bit
just to keep those ends more full.
So I'm just gonna do the same thing
through the rest of this other side
and then we will move into how we're gonna blend in
our side layers to the top.
All right, so as you can see, it's still long.
I can tell when we go to dry this
that it's gonna look a little too sparse here at the ends
because of all the layering.
So I am gonna nip the length really quickly
just in the back, not a lot, the sides will blend in
but this is definitely a cut.
So if you're a stylist, you need to talk with your client
about the importance of how long or short
to keep the perimeter, the length
to look as thick and full as possible.
Like I said, this is meant to have a lot of layers.
I talk about this a little bit more
in my video on summer beauty
but it is best as a mid length cut
because you maintain more thickness through the end.
So we're just gonna come across
and I'm just gonna take up not a ton,
just a very little bit.
We'll sort of basically meet that bottom,
more bottom layer and shorten this.
And I'm still gonna lightly point cut at it
because it is meant to be soft.
I don't want it to be blunt
but it will help to maintain a more full look
through those ends.
And I might not have anything to cut here
and no, I don't.
So that'll just keep it a little bit more full
and it didn't really interact with like a disconnect
from the layers back here.
All right, perfect.
So we're gonna move into the sides
and the sides we do it slightly similar to the back.
Let's spritz them down first.
So we're gonna cut our layers first
and all we're gonna do, very similar to the back layers,
we're gonna be bringing everything up
and just slightly angling.
So you're gonna let all this perimeter fall
and just layer this very middle section.
It's not a lot at all
but it'll help just kind of lightly break that up
around the face to add more movement.
So we're taking a vertical section
and we're combing all of this up.
You're gonna angle up same as you did the back
and you can see your guide, your baseline,
I should say the perimeter will drop out
but you're gonna see this guide
from your technically bang section you did
and you're just gonna connect the two.
And if you want, when you're done,
you can lightly point cut it to soften it up.
So I'm gonna do this on both sides
and in that very front,
you won't most likely have anything to cut.
Vertical section, we're gonna come up and twist
this whole bottom falls out
and you're just cutting that top
that's gonna blend right in with your original guide.
All that falls.
Again, in the very, very front,
we don't have one little rogue guy right there.
So all now we have left to do
is to blend in the sides to the back
and she is drying like crazy.
So I'm gonna spritz her for what will be the last time.
So all you're gonna do,
because again, the sides are always gonna be
a little bit shorter than the back
with these types of cuts.
So you do have to blend them in.
We have just a little bit of a disconnect right there.
So in order to not make it look too, you know, moldy,
all you're gonna do is connect it.
So you can work it like you would a traditional
face frame where you just grab this,
we're gonna comb it forward
and all you're gonna do is meet that in the middle.
So I have my guide right here
and the length in the back right there
and you're just essentially cutting off
this little corner to blend.
It's very, very easy.
Take up a little bit more right there
when you grab more hair from the back.
Yep.
And that's gonna flow in really nice.
So you have that flow similar to a butterfly,
but we have a lot more layers all through the back.
I'm gonna match that on this side first.
Right there and just angle right into it.
And this will be our last piece.
So all I wanna do right now is you would have your client
take a look at the bangs.
Now, I feel like they're a little bit long,
but personal preference,
somebody might want them a little bit heavier.
All I'm gonna do is just right in the center here.
They kind of parted themselves.
I'm just gonna shorten this up just a tiny bit
and angle it in sort of like bottleneck bangs
just so we have a little bit more separation
and this center can be out of the eye
and then these are gonna flow out around it.
So it's just the very center sort of right in the middle
of where the part is.
All we're gonna do is I've combed this flat.
We're gonna twist it.
You're gonna twist it twice.
And then all we're gonna do is point cut right there
to make it just a little bit softer.
And then I'm just gonna lightly with my texturizing shears,
just barely soften that center up so it's nice and wispy
and it's gonna separate really well.
So I'm gonna go ahead and get her dry
and then we'll show you guys what it looks like
if we need to do any dry cutting and we'll go from there.
All right, so I've got her blown out
and look at all these layers.
I love it.
So we do need to do some dry cutting.
I feel like she is, what side am I looking at?
Just a little off on the sides.
Yeah, there we go.
This side is just a tiny bit longer
and we need to do a little bit more texturizing.
Texturizing is like hit or miss.
People either love it or they hate it.
It is required though.
While you do want some weight in the haircut
to be able to show the layers off,
you still need to sometimes texturize them to soften them,
especially just in the front, just like a tiny, tiny bit.
But we first need to just clean up our sides.
This is a little bit longer on the one side.
I am gonna leave a blow dry tutorial
linked in the description.
I'm going to film, I didn't film it for you guys here,
but I'm gonna film a blow dry kind of comparison.
So blowing this haircut out with a round brush
and blow dryer, so like the traditional stylist way
with my two tools or with a blowout brush.
So for stylists watching, you get the stylist version.
And if you also use the blowout brush as a stylist
or you're at home, you're gonna get to see
how to get a lot of bend movement and layers
with a good comparison.
So now that I've told you that,
let's get into our cleaning up.
It's not a lot.
We have just, I think it's a little bit longer
on the one side, so we're gonna check it.
And yep, you can see that there.
So what I'm gonna do first is just pull these together.
And all I'm gonna do is cut that excess length,
point cutting into it, and now I'm gonna come around
and I'm gonna check it on this other side here
to see if we need to blend in more to the back section.
So we're just gonna comb this forward.
And it looks actually fine to me,
but I'm just gonna soften that up.
Maybe just right here in this middle, actually.
Yeah, just that middle point just barely needs it.
And then let's check.
I think I need to bring it down in the back
a little bit more, too.
So we're at our side position now.
Just a tiny bit.
Again, we trimmed these ends back here
so we could keep it looking more full.
Yeah, and I can see just barely right in here.
So we're just gonna come to this middle point
and I'm just gonna clean up this little corner.
So you could have opted to cut the length
after you got it dry.
If you're somebody who's really concerned
about keeping as much length as possible,
you might wanna cut the perimeter dry
just so you can see if you wanted to keep excess length.
But if you're somebody who is not so concerned
with the length and you're like,
I just wanna get it cut so it looks as full as possible,
I would have the stylist cut it wet
or you could cut it wet on your own at home
and then trim up as needed afterwards.
But we have so much layers.
Look at how many layers.
So we do need to texturize these top layers
just a little bit.
I like how heavy they are.
And again, if you really wanted to swoop this up more,
you can get the swoop through the ends.
But these top layers are just a little too heavy
for how layered this is
because this is naturally gonna take away more weight
the further down the head you go.
So the top is gonna remain more thick and full,
but the further down the head you go,
this gets a little bit more just naturally thinned out
with the layers.
So usually these top ones,
you really need to come in and texturize them.
So you could do it point cutting.
So if you're somebody who's really afraid
of texturizing shears, point cutting might be good.
But a texturizing shear will work great as well
to just soften up the top layers.
Texturizing shears don't have to be so scary.
But I get the fear if you've ever had your hair jacked up
with thinning shears because I have been there myself
and it's not fun.
But when somebody knows what they're doing,
they are amazing.
So yeah, it's just like I can see it on this main camera,
just barely in here, not a lot, not crazy.
Best to go slow.
You can always remove hair, you can't put it back.
So just do a little at a time if you're worried about it.
So I blew her out obviously straight today
because I knew we would need to dry cut,
but you can also like wave this haircut.
There's lots of ways.
I see it all the time online with more waves in it,
but I wanted to do it dry so I could see
and make sure everything blends.
So let's take a look at our front.
I feel like we could texturize just ever so slightly,
just barely around the face frame especially.
If you like your face frame to be pretty like soft
and flowy, you'll wanna texturize the ends a little bit.
If your hair is like baby fine and thin,
which honestly I don't know that this is my preferred
haircut for you guys, but if it is and you rock this cut,
you definitely won't need this done.
But if you've got really thick hair,
you probably wanna just soften up the ends
of your face frame just so they kind of get
a little bit more wispy.
Mannequins for whatever reason around their hairline
tend to be like super thick.
So it might vary, you know, person to person,
but it's more so just keeping the ends
from looking like too blunt.
This is like supposed to be a very like lots of movement,
textured haircut and blunt doesn't really work for texture.
Do that on this side.
Perfect, I'm really happy overall with how it came out.
She has maybe a little bit more body than one may prefer.
And like I said, you can do this curled as well,
but we've got our nice thing.
If you flatten these out a little bit more,
they're gonna be definitely more of that full feel,
but you can swoop them off
and then they just kind of close in.
So where we left it a little disconnected
with angling across our faces,
you have this shorter bang,
and then it moves into longer and goes down.
So you get a lot of movement.
So you get a swoop here, a swoop there.
You could swoop this back if you want,
or you can tuck it in.
It's very, very versatile.
And then if you wanna finish it off
with either a texture spray or texture paste,
which is probably what I'm gonna do,
that's optional as well,
that you would just spray or work through the hair
to kind of like kick up and play off the layers more.
So I'm gonna do a little bit of that
and then I'll get you guys out of here
with some slow-mo shots.
All right, guys, here is our final look
for our fairy layered haircut tutorial.
We have so much shape and movement with those layers,
lots of texture everywhere.
I'm really obsessed with this cut.
But through the sides, we have all that movement,
nice flow everywhere.
It flows from that front bang back to the back length.
And then through the back, we have tons of layers as well.
I really like how this came out.
And then again, if you wanted to fluff it up more
with a texture paste or spray,
you can do that as well to add a little bit more movement
and kind of grit to the haircut.
So I really hope that you guys enjoyed today's tutorial.
I will link the DIY version as soon as it's available.
And I will also link the blow dry tutorial for it as well,
which I will link both of those right here
as soon as they're ready.
So in the meantime,
I will leave you with this video to check out.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one.
Bye.
