In this tutorial we explore Lily Collins hair when it was short, similar to how hairstylist Gregory Russell Cut her hair for the Calvin Klein campaign. While we are more familiar with the Emily in Paris stars' long hair with curtain bangs, her short blunt bob is a testament to her more mature and sophisticated side. We demonstrate Lily Collins' beauty and style with this red carpet timeless haircut. Follow along with the video tutorial and transcript below.  

Lily Collins Hair Tutorial:

Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a one-length bob. But we're not going to do an old-fashioned grandma one length bob. We're going to do something young and cool. We're going to use celebrity Lily Collins as our inspiration. She has this cool one length bob that still maintains the essence of the shape but because it's done with the razor it keeps it modern and fresh and softer and a little bit easier to live with. So let's get started. Alright. So we're going to start by taking a center part or a natural part. Hers is slightly off center, but it's pretty much very very close down the middle. We're going to go to the occipital bone to the mastoid and then I'm going to split that flat section in half so that I have enough hair that I can start to develop my shape but not so much that it starts to clog up my razor.  

The Limited Edition Wood-Look Feather Styling Razor

I'm going to use my Limited Edition Wood-Look Feather Styling Razor. Now this is in celebration of Jatai's 75th Anniversary and there's only a limited number of these being made. While the handle is not wood, every handle is going to be individual because the wood grains are going to be different, the color variations are going to change from handle to handle. And so once they're gone they're gone. They're not going to make it again and you can buy this individually with just one blade or you can buy it in a kit with a pack of blades and the other accessories that go along with it. And also don't use alcohol-based disinfectants because it can affect the wood look finish.  

Creating a Solid Blunt Shape

Now we're going to go through and start with our razor bob and the thing that I want to pay attention to that makes this bob modern that Lily's wearing is that the texture is just in the tips. There's not a whole lot of texture that's going to modify the shape and make it piecey. So we want to keep this as solid as possible. So I'm going to hold everything, comb clean straight down. I'm going to find where I want my length at and then I'll put the razor in and I will very gently move this up and down just about a sixteenth of an inch so I can still keep that a very solid blunt shape. We're going to take our next section. Whatever my line is that I parted is going to be the line that I cut in it because I want this to be a little longer in the front. Cutting that down and through. Following my parting on the opposite side, there's my line. We're going to go through. Gently cut that off. Now you want a sharp blade. If you don't have a sharp blade you're going to start trying to saw the hair off. And the more that you're trying to saw the hair off, the more texture that you're going to put in it. Remember I want to keep as little texture in this razor bob as possible and that's what keeps it looking really modern and very very chic. There's my line underneath. I'll lay the razor right on top of it and just about a 16th of an inch razor stroke and cut that straight across. That way I concentrate the texturizing just in the very tips. If I'm working on a model that has very very thick hair and I still want to go through and do this shape, I may run into a situation where I start to build up too much weight and then it starts to look broom-like. So if that happens, then what I'll do is every other section I'll take a broader stroke to remove more weight. But then on every other section I will go through and cut very very blunt like this as much and as blunt as possible to make sure I have that solid line. Now I'll go through. Check this out. We're shorter in the middle, a little bit longer towards the front. So once we got our baseline in, we're going to continue on following the same pattern. Now as my first section was the occipital mastoid, now I'm going to go two flat sections where the head is flat, where the head is flat, right to the top of the ear and that should give me exactly the same angle (the same line) that I was doing underneath. So this line should match that line and then I will take this and split it in half and there's my next section. Pin that out of the way.  

Moving Up the Head

Now as I start to move up the head, if I feel that the hair is starting to lack a little moisture, I'm going to use my Jatai Blade Glide just to give me a consistency with the dampness. Also, it's going to constrict the cuticle and make my razor cut easier and cleaner. We're going to move on to the next section. I want to maintain zero elevation with my fingers being the only graduation that I get. The only elevation is from this middle finger, but everything else wants to be as flat to the head as possible and I want to keep my razor at a 45° angle. I'm not laying it perpendicular to the hair. I want to keep a 45° angle as I'm cutting. So I'll put the blade in, angle it at 45 right through there on top of my previously cut guide and cut that down and through. Keep everything T to my parting. There's my line. Cut that through. Check and see how the length is. I think that length is going to be just fine. Continue that through. Now by me laying the blade flat against the hair and cutting everything one length I'm not introducing any kind of movement to this cut or this shape at all. Everything is going to be solid and blunt. I'm trying to apply as much precision to this as I possibly can even though I'm using a soft cut tool where it's not giving me a precision cut like a scissor would. I still want to use the technique and the methodology to make this as precise as possible. So when I'm combing I'm working on flat sections of head. I'm combing from the root clean all the way down and through creating just enough tension to hold the section tight but not so much that I'm stretching it. Laying the razor against that parting right there, cutting that straight across. There's my line. Cut that down and through. Next section, keep everything combed as clean from the parting all the way through to my fingers as possible cutting that straight across. I think with it being a little longer in the front, we have shunned that shape for so long that now when we see it being a little longer in the front it looks fresh again.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Now when I come over the ear, since I have to maintain tension on the hair, I'm just going to comb everything into my hand using the comb as the maximum amount of tension that I'll use. I'll plant my fingers. There's my guide from the back and then continue that down and through. I can't go through and do any sort of little tricks as far as making sure I don't cut a hole in it over the ear other than using the least amount of tension as possible. And we have a nice little line that's building up a little length there in the front. And we're going to do the same thing on the other side. Taking my time and making sure everything is combed as clean as possible all the way down. Cut that through. There's my line. Cut that through. Perfect. Looking good. Alright. Let's check our lengths out. I think we're looking pretty good through there. So we've got our basic shape in. Now remember, if the hair was overly thick I could razor in between sections to remove that kind of broom effect that I may get. Let's blow it dry, take a look and see what we got.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.  

The End Result of this Lily Collins Hair Tutorial

So here's our end result and I think we're looking pretty good. I mean this is more of a less uptight kind of bob you know and that's what makes it modern is that we still have this solid bob shape, but it's got that little pieciness on the ends that make it look like it's grown out a little bit and keeps it from looking really stuffy and too perfect. And I think that because it has that kind of softness and that kind of tattered edge to it it gives it something really interesting to look at and it catches your eye more than just a real blunt cut bob. Please check out the Jatai Academy. There's all kinds of fantastic information on there that will make you a better hair stylist and barber. Also let us know what you'd like to see in the future and once again thank you so much for watching. We'll see you next time. Lily Collins hair bob is classic and sophisticated. The timeless look defies hair trends and is perfect for any lifestyle. No matter the season, the one length bob will never lose popularity.

In this long layers razor cut tutorial, you'll learn how to cut layers with a Feather Plier Razor, an unguarded razor. Razored haircuts for long hair are popular styles that give volume, dimension and a lived-in look. Razored long hairstyles can be created with a guarded razor as well, but here we take a look at using the premium Plier! A razor haircut for long hair is perfect for women who like movement in their hair, feel their hair is too heavy and need weight removal. Razored layers tend to grow out nicely and you can go for long periods of time before needing to get another haircut. Follow along with this tutorial and the transcript below.  

Long Layers Razor Cut Tutorial:

  Welcome to Jatai Academy. You have fear of using a razor. You have a fear of using it on long hair. Are you afraid you're going to just take out too much and it's just going to be a stringy mess? I'm going to solve all those problems today. We're going to show you how to control how much weight you're taking out. We're going to show you how deep that you want to go through and add your texture and also how to add detail and make it the perfect amount of texture internally without layering. So let's get started. Starting off razoring long hair, there's a couple of key points that you really need to pay attention to to make it to where you're not fighting yourself and causing more harm and damage than good. We want a soft wispy separated shape and there's a key technique that we're going to show you on how to get that, but first thing let's cover how to hold the razor.  

The Feather Plier Razor

We're going to use the Feather Plier Razor. This is a razor that does not have a guard. The reason it doesn't have a guard is so it allows me to fine-tune my shape a lot more and also I can be much more precise with where I take weight out. Alright, so I'm going to take my razor where the black handle is. I'm going to put between my forefinger and my middle finger like this. Now I'm going to push the blade away from my palm, clasp my thumb around, rotate my fingers around like this and then I can use just my finger to create motion. I can also use my wrist. And if I'm taking broad strokes I'll use my elbow. When I go and take a section, it can't be too thick. If the section's too thick, the razor can't handle that much hair and it's going to end up pushing it out of the blade and you're going to end up with a really inconsistent cut. I think that's one of the biggest mistakes people make is they take too much hair and a blade that's not sharp enough.  

Establishing the Perimeter & Creating Separation

So now I'm going to comb everything straight down. The third thing I want to pay attention to is the length of the hair. I don't want to razor it more than about halfway. That's going to be a lot on long hair. So I'm going to keep my razoring to the bottom third. Now if I want I can go through and start razoring my length off or I can start channeling it or I can do both at the same time. I can channel and cut length at the same time. Comb everything straight down, put the blade in about a third of the way down through and then cut my length off. Keeping in mind that I want to create a lot of softness and a lot of separation in the texture. I'm not worried about the line being perfectly blunt cut. I'm not worried about that precision. I want texture. So pay attention to the texture more so than the overall length sure. I want to make sure it's even on both sides, but I'm not going to be real fine-tuned and OCD about making sure the line's perfect. Move on to the other side. Cut my channel through. There's my length. Cut the length off at the same time. There we go. Now I'm going to go through on the other side, cut my channel, cut my channel, cut my channel and then cut my length. Now when I first start using the razor especially a guardless razor, if I'm using one with a guard it's no problem. But a guardless razor as I go through and take sections, I will close the blade so I don't risk cutting myself as I go through and start pulling down other sections of hair. Then, when I'm ready, reopen the blade back in and we're ready to go. Next section. I'm holding everything straight down, following through, getting my channel and then if there's anything on the length, cut that length off. This can move pretty rapidly once you get a good rhythm going and you get a good methodology and you get a good approach. There's a little bit right there. We're going to take just that off a little bit and we're looking good. This is what I'm looking for is this separation on the bottom.  

Moving Up the Head

Now as I move up the head and I move into the next section I'm going to be mindful to not pick up the hair that I've already cut underneath. I don't want to go through and continue to razor the underneath hair. It's already perfect like it is. So I'm only going to go through and razor the hair above it so I don't end up cutting more off than I want to. So I'll separate that completely and visually guess where that overall length is. It's pretty easy to see we're about right there. Now we'll go through put our channels into it very very deep and pretty strong and then guesstimate at where that overall length is going to be. It does not have to be perfect, but I do want to make sure that I keep my next section out of the underneath section when I comb that down. There's my overall length. Let's go through channel some of that hair out. Now this works really well on hair that's overly thick and doesn't have a whole lot of movement to it. If she had very very fine hair I would not go through and channel as deep as I am on this particular head of hair. There's my length. Cut that down and through. And then cut my length off. That's looking pretty good. Now what I find is if I go through and don't separate the hair underneath, what ends up happening is the hair on top feels overly thick compared to the hair underneath. I feel like I start missing the weight of this perimeter weight line underneath. So this is just a safety net to prevent me from over thinning that. An easy way to make sure I don't pick up the hair underneath I can just take a clip and then another clip and then when this hair lays on top of it I don't have to worry about it. It's not so easy to pick up. My next section. And I'm going to continue on with this methodology until I've cut the entire perimeter shape. Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather I'm coming into my last section here. And another variation of this technique that I'm going to show you is if the hair already has enough separation on the bottom and I just want to remove thickness, then what I'll do is I will thin it just like I was doing before. But instead of running all the way through to the tip, I'm only going to do a little bit about halfway. So that way I can remove the weight without removing so much weight on the ends as if I was to go all the way down the section. If I already feel that I have enough separation, then that's fine. Just doing a little bit right in the middle of the section is enough to remove the weight and balance out the weight throughout the rest of the haircut without making the ends way too wispy.  

Cutting the Front of the Long Layers Razor Cut

When I come around the front it's quite a balancing act between putting enough texturizing in to soften it and keep the edges real wispy and piecey but not so much so that you have a bunch of little baby wisps of layers happening underneath when I start to blow this back I end up with these little sprouts that stick out. So what I'll do there is I'll take my center section. I will go through and do the same sort of thing. But on the right side since I want the movement to go to the right and I want to layer underneath a little bit less, I'm going to focus more on the surface of the section as opposed to going just straight in and channeling it. So instead of just going straight in and channeling I'm focusing more on the surface layer with steps in between. That way I can start to remove the weight without any little stubs sticking straight up in the air. And then to make sure I get the length going I'll start shorter in the center and build up some texture and length going to the right and then going to the left. If I feel like I need to take a little more weight out, I'm going to do the same thing. I'm going to fillet this off so I hit the surface of the section not the underneath of the section. That is most important just around the bang area. The rest of it you can go through and do whatever you' like. Either way works just fine. Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content. My next section here and this should be pretty much it just a formality to make sure nothing really hangs over the sides. Again roll down. There's a little weight right through there so we're going to filet that off. After I finish on both sides I'm going to go through and blow her dry so we can see the results.  

The End Result of the Long Layers Razor Cut

Here's our end result of this razor cut for long hair and I think we're looking pretty good. And the whole point of this video of using a razor on long hair was to demonstrate that it's not just for short hair. I mean some people are scared of the razor you know. They're afraid to cut any kind of long hair with it and you can use it on long hair to great effect in the right way. So we don't go more than half the depth of the hair. We pay attention to how much of the ends that we're taking out to get our pieciness. And we don't cut the underneath hair as our guide in each section as we go up. And that all gives you a much better result like this. And I think she looks pretty good. I think we got a nice texture to it and this is without any kind of layering at all. You get all of this separation and this faux layering just by doing that deep channeling and by going through and putting that invisible kind of layer through it. I hope you learned something about how to razor cut long hair. So anyway check out the Jatai Academy.

Final Thoughts on Long Razored Hair

Haircuts with razored layers are versatile and work best on thick hair. When you razor cut long hair, it's important to use techniques that are applicable to the client's hair density and thickness. This long razor cut hair is perfect for many women that's timeless and classic.

In this soft undercut tutorial short hair look we use three tools to create the final style: clippers, a Feather Plier Razor and Jatai Kyoto Scissors by BMAC. All three tools have their important purposes and contribute to the final look in different ways. Follow along with the video tutorial and the transcript below.  

Pixie Soft Undercut Tutorial:

  Welcome to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a study on an undercut, but we're going to do a short undercut, a pixie undercut. Keep it from being so full on thick hair, still make sure it's got some movement some style and some grace. So check it out. Let's get started. Diving right in because I forgot to hit record on the underneath part but luckily it's an easy part to explain.  

The Undercut

So I took from the center of the recession straight back to the quarter part, quarter part down to the nape area and I rounded that out a little bit on both sides so I don't end up with a fat little point in the middle. From there I took my clipper with a number five attachment, hit on and just cut everything underneath off and very short. It's all the same length. Everything off underneath here, just buzz it short to get it out of the way. So after we've cut everything underneath short and clean, I'll take the guard attachment off. I'll take my comb and now I'm just going to go through and around the edges of the hairline fit that in. So I'll put the comb in angle it out a little bit so it's really short around the edges of the hairline and I work that up and out and blend. I'm not going to recut everything up to here. I'm just fitting it in a little closer near the hairline. So this is just tapering that in just a little bit closer. You can certainly go through and use smaller guards to fit that in a little cleaner as well but we're just going to show you options. So after I've got that fitted in we're going to come here into the nape and do the same sort of motion where I'm just tapering that in just right around the hairline. And I think when you go through and you do a little bit of tapering, even though it's not necessarily a massive amount, I think it does add a little more elegance to the haircut overall as opposed to it just being all the same length underneath. So it differentiates me from other people or for someone doing it at home. So it also adds a little style, a little bit of elegance, a little bit of fine tuning and sometimes it's just that extra 10% that really makes a haircut pop and look truly professional.  

The Pixie Portion

So when I go and cut the top I'm going to use my Feather Plier Razor. Now the Feather Plier Razor is a guardless razor. It doesn't have a guard. It has a super sharp blade so be a little careful, but it gives me the most control over how much hair I remove, where I remove it from and how precise the shape is that I apply to it. So this is my weapon of choice for cutting the top. Alright so now we've sectioned off the top. I've sectioned from where the quarter part would be right at the crown. I've sectioned out the front from the back of the head. We're going to start right in the middle and I'm going to take me a little pie section and make sure it's not too thick. And I'm going to hold this out at an angle. I want this top part of the section to be held at that elevation so I can graduate it. Make sure everything comes out. I know I'm going short here so I'm going to take my Feather Plier Razor and start with a very very broad stroke and cut that up and out. And I think that that length once it bounces up is probably going to be pretty good. Now once I put a little bit more texture into this internally it will make it feel a little shorter as well. So before texture I leave it a little longer. After texture it will make it feel a little shorter. Close my razor. Take the next part. I'm going to pivot out of the center and add the next section in. Again, not too thick. If the sections get too thick then the razor has to push through it and I end up with a line that's not very clean or consistent. Open my guard again, there's my guide underneath, take that up and out. And I'm taking a pretty broad stroke to make sure I maintain that soft kind of texture to it. If I need to put layering in it then we'll do that a little bit later. And I'm just going to continue this pivoting right here in the crown and walking my guide around the head. And I think we're looking pretty good so far. Check that out, see how that's looking. I think that's looking pretty good. Now going through and taking a vertical section will force it to separate into vertical pieces. If I was to go through and take this horizontally then it would build up a much more solid line. So after I've done this side I'm going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. Okay now we're coming to the last section on the opposite side and I'm still continuing to cut up from the bottom to the top.   Follow us on your favorite social media platform @jataifeather   Make sure we got everything dialed in there lengthwise around the perimeter. Now let's check the other side. So we're going to start here with the center part on top. We're going to separate it left and half sides. Then I'm going to go through and take a vertical section off of the center part using the guide in the back and I'm going to hold this vertically and continue my angle of graduation that I had from underneath, still taking a nice broad razor stroke working from the back into the front. If I want the front to get longer, then once I hit the ear I'll start to pull everything back to that. If I want to maintain everything kind of being equal, I can certainly continue to walk my guide. Next section, holding it out vertically, there's my guide that's falling out, taking vertical sections continuing that through. Now I've noticed that the razor starts to catch in the hair a little bit and I'm drying out so I'm going to use a little bit of Jatai Blade Glide to help smooth the hair out and make it easier for my razor to cut. Continuing my vertical sections, not taking sections that are too thick. There's my guide falling out. That's much better. Slides much better through the hair. Comb that down. I want that hitting right about the middle of the ear which is going to be right at the nose. Doesn't have to be perfect you know. I just want to make sure I get in the general vicinity of the proper length that I'm going for. Next section, pull to the ear so I leave a little bit of extra length in the front that I may cut off but at least I'll leave it there just in case I want to do something with that. Yeah I think a little more length is going to work out well. Take the last section, bring that back to the ear as well. Not much is going to reach from her previous layers that she had around the front. Now we've got that. There we go. Now we can start to see some separation popping in because we've been taking vertical sections. After I've cut both sides it's going to leave me a little bit of a point in the front. Now I don't want this much of a point because I think it's going to become too exaggerated so I'm going to round this out a little bit more and take a little bit of the weight out. So I'll take the entire thing, pull that forward and go through and do a deep channel cut as I'm cutting the length right here at the very front at the same time. It's going to not only remove the thickness and the weight of it, but it's also going to cut some of that length off. I'll go through and do my initial pass. I'll go through and do what I think needs to be done and then I'll go back and look at it and see if I need to take any more out or take any more length off. This haircut has a lot of visual elements to it and I have to determine that those visual elements if they fit as I go. I can't just hit it once and move on. I have to fine-tune the shape with each pass and with each cut according to her hair texture, their thickness, their growth pattern, their waves and what my end result what I think looks good to my eye. I think that's looking pretty good. So let's blow it dry take a look and see what we got.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.  

Reducing Fluff

Alright. So we finished blowing dry and I think the basic shape looks pretty good. It's very pixie like. It's nice and short underneath so it keeps it from really bulking out, but I think it needs a little bit more pop to it. I think it's still a little bit too fluffy. So what I'm going to go through and do is I'm going to take my Jatai Kyoto Scissors. This is the sharpest blade I got and I'm going to go through and do some really deep channel cutting and be very very aggressive with this to get this hair to separate more in pieces so it becomes less product dependent and I can still get that aggressive separation. So I'm not going to take any sections. I'm just going to comb the hair straight down put the blade in about halfway and just go through and chew some big separations between this. So not only will this remove a little bit of weight, but it's also going to give me a much more aggressive separation and I think make it look a little bit edgier and have a little bit more pop to it. There we go. I'm liking that better. Be careful. Don't go through and get too aggressive in areas that you don't want. Just pay attention. Gently apply. You can always add more but you can't take it out once you put it in. So be mindful of that and I think that right through there a little bit. Right through there. I like that better.  

Final Look of this Pixie Soft Undercut Tutorial

Here's our end result. I think we're looking pretty good. We got a lot of texture to it and for as thick as this mannequin head is for it to not be so bulbous and full and still have some separation and movement to it, it is quite showing of the technique of undercutting it and then having enough hair to lay over it and putting a lot of texture to it.

When it comes to a military haircut for women there are certain criteria that must be met. Hair should be well groomed with a neat appearance. While hairstyles for military women have more versatility, their hair must be secured above the collar and not interfere with headgear. This means female military hair is often worn as a ponytail or bun. Hair can be short or long as well. But in this tutorial we will look at the iconic G.I. Jane buzz cut without using clippers. This is a bold look that can be done in a way that's not the same length all the way around. Watch the video tutorial and follow along with the transcript.  

Watch this Military Haircut for Women Scissor Over Comb Tutorial:

  Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of content for Jatai. Today we're going to be doing a G.I. Jane inspired buzz cut, like a military kind of haircut, and we're going to use this as an opportunity to take it into a technical deep dive of scissor over comb. It'll give us an opportunity to practice. We're going to cover all the key points, how to move the scissor, how to move the comb, what kind of scissor you want, how to apply it and when to take a break. So let's get started.  

The Military Haircut for Women Tools 

So the first thing I want to start with is my scissor. I'm going to use my Jatai Tokyo Scissor. This is a 6-inch scissor. Longer scissors work better for doing scissor over comb. Sometimes a fatter blade works well when you're trying to just motor hair off, but I find a good basic normal scissor that's not too thick or not too thin but long enough gives me all the options that I need for being able to do scissor over comb well. The next thing I need to pay attention to is how you hold your comb. Holding your comb properly will enable you to do better scissor over comb more smoother and apply the technique much faster. So I'm going to start by taking the butt of the comb putting it right in the crotch of my pinky. I'm going to put my thumb and forefinger on the spine and the teeth side of the comb. Now this way I can rotate my comb back and forth and it allows me to get into a rhythm as I start to go up and down. And as you start going over this you're going to go over this a lot of times. So this enables me to have a nice smooth scissor flow and enables me to focus on what's being cut, not on the comb itself.  

Scissor Over Comb

So the first thing we want to do is go through and I'm going to lay the comb against the head, pull it out a little bit and just cut this across. I'm doing a very crude cut. I'll move up maybe a half inch maybe a quarter inch as I go up the head straight this way until I run out of hair. Now you're going to see little lines in it and that's okay. I'm not worried about it being perfectly flawless at this point. I want to go through and get that extra length off so I don't have to waste my time going through and cutting all of my length off. And I'll just attack this horizontally across the back and just go up and out. Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Now at this point I want to go through and start really cutting it short. At the bottom I'm going to cut it the width of the comb. As I go up, the comb is slow going to start to come off of the head just slightly as I go up and round it to the crown. Comb down. Start low. Put my comb in. Follow the head. Put my scissor in same width as the comb. So whatever the comb width is that's going to be the length that I leave. Once I get about right here that comb starts to leave the head as I come up and out. Now I start to get a nice smooth transition as I'm going from against the head to away from the head. I'm not worried about all the little scissor lines that I have right now. I'm starting to whittle the shape down. So I start very crude with maybe five or six passes and then as I continue up the head I go maybe 15 passes and by the time I'm finished I will probably have gone over this a couple of hundred times with my scissor as I start to work up the back of the head. And I'm working to the ear.  

Addressing the Finer Details

Now I'm going to change my comb to something that's a little more detail oriented. The bigger the comb, the more crude the shape is. The smaller the comb, the more detail I'm focusing on. So now I'll start and do exactly the same methodology I was doing before, but this time I'm going to go through and scissor it a hell of a lot more. So as I start to start low I'm uh-oh. I'm following the head shape as I slowly come up and once I hit the occipital bone I start to come away from the head a little bit. After I've got that section done through there I'll go through and do the next section and the next section and the next section all the way over. And what you should see is a light dusting of small little baby hairs that are going to land on your hand. As I get to the occipital bone I start to come out from the head a little bit and what I'm looking for is this very very light dusting of hair. I want it to be almost fur like so that that way I can be assured that I'm getting a nice detail cut. When I'm focusing on scissor over comb, it's less about how much hair I take off and if I can see it as much as I get into a rhythm of going through and cutting my shape and I hear the scissor cutting. Cuz sometimes the amount of hair that gets cut off is so small that you can't see it and it starts to fine-tune the shape. And when it gets really fine-tuned I'll see something that looks like a little bit of a line right, but I can't judge how much hair I'm going to cut off. Or I'm used to cutting in my fingers, I can see how much I'm cutting. Here I can't see so what I have to do is go through and just trace what's already there and once I trace that line anything that sticks out that's not supposed to be there will get cut off. Now we're starting to get a nice soft shape through there and I'm going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. That's looking pretty good through there. I'm liking the way that that's looking and that didn't take me too long. So now let's continue our tapering into the sides of the head. Just going through and crudely starting to whittle my shape in and down against the head. And once the head starts to round then the comb will come off of the head slightly as I work up and over.  

Smoothing & Tightening the Military Haircut for Women

Once I got that shape done I got that down to where I feel that that's as good as I can get with my big comb then I will go in with my smaller comb and smooth that out and tighten that. Now why don't I just go with the small comb in the first place? Cuz it's too hard to deal with that much hair. The longer the teeth are on the comb, the more hair that I can deal with. The smaller the teeth are on the comb, the less hair I can deal with. And it forces me to deal with smaller sections of hair. Start here at the bottom if I need to come under the ear. Get the motor running and slowly start to go up as the comb. As the head starts to round I leave the comb from the head and start to round the shape out a little bit. I will generally do this right to the mastoid. Very good. Now once I've got this done and this done you'll notice I got this little transition here between the front and the back. So when that happens I'm going to tilt the head. We've got this hairline and this hairline which is parallel. So now I'm going to go through parallel to that and work that up and out. What that does is that allows me to still follow the head shape and then continue to work that up and out. So I'm pretty comfortable with that. Now we're going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. Alright, so now we're going to start here on the top and in the front. I'm going to take this section, pull it back just a little bit so I leave a little bit of length right here at the front and just crudely start to remove... come on baby...my length up here on the top. And I'll do that until I get to the crown. Next section. And I'm doing the same sort of methodology that I was doing underneath. It's just now I'm working from the front going back and then I'll work on the sides blending into the top, but I just want to get a rough shape of all this hair on top being cut short. So what I'm going to start doing is just going through and working in little pie sections just to go from short and rounding my shape out. Cut that up and over.   Give us a thumbs, up click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.  

Perfecting Scissor Over Comb

As I get close to everything being dialed in like I want I can go through and then freehand over the shape just to get those little whispers of hair off, but I want to be very very mindful and conscientious because as I start to tire out I don't want my hands to start shaking and then I end up cutting a hole in the haircut and then I have to go back in and recut the whole thing around it because I got sloppy near the end. And that's usually when things are getting dialed in where you have a momentary loss of muscular coordination and the next thing you know boom! There's a hole. When you first start doing scissor over comb it's going to be rough on your hands and your hands are going to cramp, your thumbs are going to cramp. You know it's not going to be pretty. So I want to work a little bit and if my hand starts cramping I'll take a break. And it's okay. You don't have to power through it. I mean I've got 30 something years of experience and my hands are strong from all the years of doing this and your hands will be too when you're doing it as long as I have and as much as I have. Practice. Practice practice practice. The key to this technical deep dive about doing scissor over comb is the flipping of the comb, the motoring of the scissor. Make sure you have a blade that's long. If it's too short it's going to take you forever. A longer blade allows you to cut through more hair at one time than a smaller blade. Smaller blades force you to deal with small sections. Larger blades you can deal with larger sections and then just follow the shape and follow your guide and keep dialing it in and dialing it in and dialing it in until you get everything nice and smooth like you want.

This very short cut is reminiscent of G.I. Jane and while it's not a military women haircut that's common, it is a possible style that can be worn!

Hair in the 1990s had some notable styles that have remained iconic to this day. One of the most popular were Gwen Stefani hairstyles and particularly the one where her hair flips out. Of course, Jennifer Aniston also had the iconic Friends hairstyle that everyone remembers. Learn how to re-create that fun 90s layered look with this blended Jennifer Aniston and Gwen Stefani hair tutorial!  

1990s Layered Jennifer Aniston Meets Gwen Stefani Hair Tutorial:

  Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing '90s layering. Layering in the 90s was all about getting the hair to flip out and to get some pieciness to it and some softness and a lot of movement to it. It was about having glamour but a casualness to the glamour, a more of a lived in kind of glamour. So we're going to use Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Aniston as our inspiration and I'm going to show you how to get the hair to piece out and flip on the bottom, how to get some fullness and force the hair to flip. So let's get started.  

Cutting the Perimeter

Okay I'm going to start with a natural center part. So I'm going to start right in the middle. Take a flat section right there in the center. This is going to be my guide length for both sides of the head. Now when I comb this, I'm going to comb this just like I do all of my other perimeter shapes. I'm combing clean from the root down. Once I get to my fingers I am going to switch it up because the 90s layering is all about hair that flips and has a lot of movement and a lot of flickiness to it. And to encourage that I am going to turn my fingers up. So as I point cut, that's going to slightly cut the top layer of this section shorter than the underneath and will encourage it to flip. We're going to comb everything straight down. I am using my Jatai Osaka Scissor. This is 5-1/2." It's got a good amount of sharpness to it and it's got a nice blade point to it so I can go through and point cut this very easily, making sure that the line is even on both sides but not necessarily blunt. I want this to have some soft separation so I'm going through and doing an exaggerated point cut with my fingers flipped. After I finished the first section I'm going to continue taking parallel sections all the way up the head until I run out of hair and I have cut my entire perimeter shape. My next section here I'm going to start right in the center again. I'm going to comb everything out of the way. In the middle, comb everything straight down curving my fingers up as I go through and point cut that through. Next section, there's my guide from underneath, a nice exaggerated point cut as I continue to work from the center of the back into the sides of the head. Exaggerating my flip. Aright so we got our last section here. We're going to comb everything down, still flipping my fingers, making sure everything blends through. Length is looking pretty good. So now let's move on to our layering.  

Flickered Layering 

Okay on my layering we're going to start right in the center. I'm going to take a center section and where it's flat that's going to determine the width of my section so I got a center section from the front running all the way down to the center of the back. So now I'm going to right at the crown, separate the front from the back. Straight up in the air measure where I want that to hit around her face. Let's start with about right there. Go through deep point cut that to keep the textures the same and to keep my layering really flicky. I'll take a small piece as my guide. I'll take the next section working towards the back. Comb everything clean from the root all the way up straight up and cut that horizontally straight across point cutting it to keep the texture really soft and flicky. Small piece as my guide. Go right back to my crown. There's that. Cut that all the way through. So far we're doing just regular layering, but as of right now to make it 90s, I'm going to take my next guide and from here instead of pulling that at 90 or over-directing up, I am now going to pull this straight out the back. There's my length. Cut that straight up and down. My next piece, the perimeter starts to fall out. There's my guide. Cut that straight up and down. So what I'm effectively doing is leaving a corner in my layering right through the crown. So what happens is when this falls that's going to build up weight. Because it's layered more underneath, it's going to cause the shape to collapse and force this to flick out even more. So I'm forcing as much flip into this as I can get by layering it this way. Straight across and then once I get to the crown, straight out the back. The next section parallel to this first section all the way straight back into the crown, into the nape. Pin this hair out of the way and now at this point I'm going to pull everything, this next section, into the center section right here into the center of the head. There's my guide. Cut that across. Small piece as my guide. The center section and the new section straight up. There's my guide length. Everything gets pulled straight up towards the ceiling. I reach the crown right here. Straight up again and I'm pulling everything into the center.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   There's my guide from underneath and the top. Pulling everything to the center. Come on. There you go. Now we got the first two sections. So now I'm going to take the rest of this whole right side and do exactly the same thing. I don't think very much hair is going to reach but I'm going to hold it up and check and make sure that nothing does. And if anything does I'm going to cut it off to the previous guide that I had in the center of the head. There we go. Small piece is my guide. Quarter part to the crown. Pull everything to the center. Using my center first, mohawk section as my guide, cut that through. Small piece as my guide. Next section pull everything straight back into the center. Cut that down and through. Now that we've cut this whole side, let's comb it back and take a look at it and see how it's looking. So as I start to shake it you can automatically see how it's forcing the hair to flick out into these pieces and it's getting really separated and you can really see individual little pieces of layers flick out. So let's go through and do the same thing on the other side. So since I held everything straight up, I need to go through and make sure that my layering really fits in around the front because if I pull everything straight up when the hair falls, it's going to show, it's going to mirror this hairline in the end result of my perimeter. So when I comb this down, it's actually going to go back down, recession and then down. So I need to go through and make sure I have a smooth blend so that my layering doesn't get lumpy around the front. Very simply take the first bump of the head to the high point of the ear over the hairline. Do this on both sides. So now that I got this sectioned out. This is all the hair that has the ability to fall in the face. So I want to make sure that that smoothly blends and it doesn't reflect the hairlines from me pulling it up.  

Blending

So we'll comb this forward. Now I don't want to go through and recut everything. I just want to go through and blend this line around the front. So I'll take a deep point cut. Take half of it to the right side and half of it to the left. I'll continue to hold this hair straight down combing it clean from the part all the way through and clean up any little discrepancies that I have from pulling it up in the air.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   We're going to continue. Comb everything straight down a natural fall. Place our fingers. You can see right through there. So I'm going to take a little bit of that out, a little bit below it. I want to cut that a little deeper there. There we go. I like that. So now I have that blended so I don't have to worry about my face framing being lumpy. Alright, so let's blow it dry see what we got.  

Jennifer Aniston Meets Gwen Stefani Hair Tutorial: End Result

Here's our end result. I think we're looking pretty good. I think this is you know very much spot on to what Gwen Stefani was doing when she was going to all the award shows in the 90s and she grew her hair out. She was wearing the flip, but it's also reminiscent of Jennifer Anderson when she had her Rachel cut where it was really layered but it was flippy on the bottom. And I think the flip gives it a more casual kind of glamour as opposed to this overtly voluminous glamour. And I think it's a nice little technique to have in your back pocket when you need it. So check out the Jatai Academy. There's all kinds of great information on there that will make you a better hairstylist and barber. Also let us know what you like to see in the future and we will see you next time. Thank you so much for watching.

A simple long layered haircut is a popular style among women with long hair. If you're looking to update and refine your techniques for long layering, this tutorial can help. Long layered haircuts are classic, timeless and beautiful. Hair layers give volume, dimension and depth. It removes weight and makes hair come alive. To learn how to cut long layers in hair, follow along with this YouTube video tutorial and transcript.  

Simple long layered haircut tutorial:

  Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. Today we're going to be studying how to cut a layered haircut. Long layering means you're going from really short to really long and trying to make sure everything stays nice and smooth. It's not very easy, but I'm going to show you a pattern that works really well without making it lumpy. So let's get started.  

Sectioning

You know one of the fundamentals of cutting hair is excellent sectioning. Until you can really section hair properly, every haircut you do is going to be amateur at best. So let's spend a little time making sure that we get nice clean sectioning that fits the head, that positions the haircut properly on that particular person's unique head shape. And that will all go towards making the end result so much better. So we're going to take a natural or center part all the way down to the center of the spine, occipital to mastoid, match that on both sides if I can. There we go.  

Establishing the Long Layers Cut Baseline

After I've gone through and done all my sectioning properly, I'm going to go through and establish a baseline. A baseline is the overall length of the entire haircut. I'm going to be using my Jatai Osaka Scissor. Now the Osaka Scissor is a long thin blade. So the long blade allows me to deal with a large section of hair, but also since it's got a little point, I can go through and point cut to it. But since it's beveled a little bit I don't have to worry about jamming myself and point cutting my finger. I can focus on point cutting the hair. Also the metal that this is made of is very very good. So it's going to stay sharp for a long time. First thing as with all of our baseline establishing haircuts will start right in the middle. Comb everything straight down. Get to the desired length that I want and then I'll go through and point cut my baseline because I want to keep this baseline very very soft. If the hair is too fine or overly fine, I may go through and blunt cut this. I just find it's so much easier to go through and point cut a line as opposed to blunt cut the line and then try to soften it afterwards. So after I've established my length, I'm going to go through and parallel section this all the way up section by section until I run out of length and just make sure everything's the same length all over.  

Layering Around the Front

So after I've gone through and established my baseline all the way around either by blunt cutting or point cutting as I did, I'm going to go through and start fitting the layering in around the front because it's technically part of the perimeter of the shape even though it is the layering. And the layering, usually the most important part is going to be the shortest piece around the face because that's the piece that they see and that's where it's the most important to them. So I want to make sure I get that piece of layering right before I continue that on to the rest of the head. So to section that out, I'm going to put my finger right at the high point of the ear. And then I'm going to lay the comb against the front of the head where that falls through. You can start to see where the short piece around the front is going to fall. Now sometimes, if the client has a lot of bang like she does which is pretty short, it's going to be kind of hard to establish where I want my shortest layer to be if I don't have enough hair. So in that instance I will go through and take the section a little further back and take that to the mastoid which is that bump right at the base of the ear behind it. So that way it gives me more hair to determine my layering around the front and also gives me a little bit better blend. Take a little piece right in the middle. This will be the length of my shortest layer. So let's just say that she wants this to fall right around her mouth. Maybe when it shrinks it'll be between her mouth and her nose. So I want to go somewhere in between there. So I'll measure visually and then kind of pull that up and leave my hand planted there in the air. Re-comb everything to my fingers where I'm holding it and then cut that length. See that falls right at the middle of her mouth. Keep my section clean. There's my guide from. Visualize where it's going to. Support my scissor and then go through. Cut that down and through and continue to build upon that angle as I get further and further down the head. And as long as I don't cut that piece of hair off at the longest piece of my layering I'm fine. If I cut that too short then I bevel my layers around the front and it becomes Farrah feathers as opposed to face framing layers.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Get that out of the way. Go all the way down to my length. There we go. Perfect. Okay after I've got both sides, the initial face framing done, I'm going to take the rest of the hair comb this down and forward. And anything that hangs off down here at the lower part, I'm just going to lightly blend that down and through. There shouldn't be a whole lot and it's just basically this little area right here that I need to make sure it doesn't overhang the layering in the front.  

Creating the Haircut with Long Layers

To start my layering I want to go through and take a center section from the front all the way to the back. This is going to be my mohawk section. After I have my mohawk section, I'm going to hold this up 90° from the head. This first piece is my bang. Here was my established length that I determined around the front. So that's going to be the length that I'm going to use to determine the shortest with my layering that I can go. We'll cut that straight back using our guide in the front. Small piece as my guide. The next piece is going right to the crown of the head. I'll hold that up. You see how much length I'm starting to take off right through there. So at this point, whereas before I was cutting the same as the head shape, at this point at the crown I'm going to now start angling my fingers so that the length will start to get longer the further back of the head that I go. I'm not going to start dragging the hair forward. I'm just going to lift it up at 90 and then angle my fingers. That gives me a consistent amount of elevation so that my layering has a consistent amount of weight. Next piece, 90 from the head angling my fingers. Working that down and through until I run out of hair which should be right around the occipital bone. Perfect. So now I've effectively gone from being short to long with a perfect blend that is an even amount of weight all the way through. So from here, to be able to start pivoting this and making sure I work that layering around, I'm going to go to the high point of the head, pivot from there down to the corner of the hairline. I'm going to do the same methodology I was doing in the back half of the head which is holding everything at 90, angling my fingers. There's my previously cut guide. I also have the length guide here on the top and my length guide there on the bottom. So I have three guides. Continuing this 90° from the head, angling my fingers, point cutting that through. Next section. Same thing. 90° up and out. Perfect. There should be very little if anything right there on the bottom. Now I'm going to remove the previously cut section as my guide. Pivot which is going to be right to the mastoid. And follow the same pattern that I was working. There's my angle. 90° angle that up and out. There we go. As I start to work around the head, that angle is going to feel like it really really increases and that's okay. Okay because we now have less head to go through and blend top to bottom so that angle does feel like it increases and it's okay and that's why we've gone through and done our face framing layering first so that we don't have to worry about so much hair around the front blending through with the back. Remove the previously cut section. My next section I will take right in top of the ear right there. It's more important that this section blends top to bottom than it does to the previously cut section. So I could go through completely disconnect these sections, every one of them from the previous, as long as they blend top to bottom. That's all that matters. So don't freak out if you're getting pretty short. You can always disconnect front to back as long as it blends top to bottom. It takes a little practice to get this kind of methodology down because you're working with such an extreme angle. Remove the previously cut sections. There we go. Hold this up. Now as I'm starting to get into the sides, there should be very little to cut as I'm starting to reach my face framing layering that I started with. And you can see right through there, the angle of the face framing is the same as the inverted angle of my layering.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Maybe a little bit right there. Very good. So after I finish the layering on one side, I'm going to go back and take the exact same center section that I started my layering with and then do the exact same thing on the opposite side.  

Long Layered Hairstyle Final Look

Here's our end result. I think we're looking pretty good. The layering, the face framing around the front gives me a smooth transition and I'm really pleased with that. The evenness of the layering and the weight distribution throughout the back through the layering I'm very very happy with that. And I threw a little curl in it just to be extra, just to make it look fancy. But the overall shape works really really well. I hope that helps. A little bit of practice goes a long way and I think you can really add something like this and make your layering vastly improved. Please check out the Jatai Academy.

Are you familiar with the Chelsea haircut? The Chelsea cut was a popularized counterculture punk haircut that women and men wore in the 70s and 80s. The look back then was a combination of a shaved head with longer hair in the front. Often associated with skinheads, the Chelsea haircut history actually has no political roots and was aimed more at being different and not adhering to the beauty standards of the time. 80s female hairstyles back then were glamorous, long and big. This British haircut was a stark contrast to the hairstyles seen on magazines. In this video, learn how to create a modified Chelsea haircut. Instead of a shaved head punk look, we're leaving the hair longer in the back for a softer look, but still keeping the overall structure of this England hairstyle. Hence, this modern punk hair look. Follow along with the Chelsea haircut video tutorial and transcript below.  

The Chelsea Haircut Tutorial:

Welcome back to the Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a reimagining of the early 80s hardcore Chelsea. We're going to bring it up into the new Millennia. We're going to add a little bit of Japanese texture to it. We're going to still make it clean and hard and edgy but yet a little softer at the same time. Anyway, let's get started. So the whole idea behind the Chelsea originally was that it was a middle finger to the fashion industry because the fashion industry and the beauty standards at the time, you know, in the early 80s was this glamorous bodacious cosmopolitan kind of post disco glamour where everything was super tan, super long, super hot rollered, makeup all the way to the hill and that was what the beauty standard that was being pushed was. And the Chelsea and the punk rock you know movement was really a revolt against all of that. And it was like oh from the front I got this hair but then in the middle it's all buzzed off and shaved and then I got a little hair in the nape. And I think that the iconic you know nature of that haircut is what really caused it to stick around for all these years. So we're going to go through and do a modern interpretation of that. So first thing, let's section out the front section. We're going two flat sections right here to where the bang section would be. Section to right behind the ear and then we're going to take occipital bone to the mastoid or less depending upon the shape that you're going for. And then all this hair in the middle is what we're going to cut really really short. So all of this center section we're going to go through and section out where the crown is and take that to the top of the ears so that way I can get my shortest part separated.  

Addressing the Back and Front of the Chelsea Haircut

I'm going to start with my Feather Styling Razor and I'm using the R-Type Blade. The R-Type Blade gives the most exposed blade, so it gives me the ability to cut more hair and get a cleaner cut. We're going to tilt everything down so we can see. I'm going to take a section right in the middle. Now classically, all this hair would just be buzzed short, but since we're doing a softer more modern interpretation of this, I am going to take this short. But I'm not going to buzz it. So I'm going to hold that up and I'm going to push everything down and see where the hair starts to bend and right there at the end of that first bend is the length that I'm going to go through and cut it. Check my length there. Looks good. If anything is too long I'll just thumb that off. So now we've got our shortest piece. So I will hold that 90 degrees from the head. There's my short piece right there and we will go through and cut that down and through. And I'm just cutting everything the same length all the way down right now. We're going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. Now if you noticed I cut inside out on both sides. That way I get the same sort of movement on both sides. Using my guide length cutting that down and all the way through seeing how that falls. And I'm liking that so far. I like that a lot. Okay so now I'm going to go through on my front section, take a parallel to my previous section that was right in the middle. Here's my first section. Here's my next section. I'll do that on both sides. First section still being pulled at the same elevation in the same angle, but now I'm pulling all the hair back into that guide right in the middle. Check that out. That looks pretty good and then just work that all the way down by continuing to pull everything into the center until I run out of hair. Everything pulled to the quarter part in the middle, the previous cut section. When your guide falls out, cut that down and through. Got a little long right there. So I'll go through, check that length. There we go.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Now we're going to take our last section here on the top. Pull everything back, follow that original guide cutting from the center out towards the edges. You certainly see we cut that quite short through there and that's the whole look of it. We want a shocking amount of length difference so that we can really really make a statement. Keep going until we run out of hair there. That's looking pretty good. Now if we look at that I'm liking that quite a bit. Now we're going to go back. I'm going to take my original center parting. So here's the first parting right through here. I'm going to take a parallel parting of my hair from behind the quarter part. Now from here I'm going to go through and do exactly the same thing I was doing before where I'm pulling everything into my original parting that I cut my original length to. So in the front I pulled back. So in the back I'm going to pull forward. Here's the length right there. It's falling out. Cut everything that same length and work that from the middle until I run out of hair. Continuing on the other side, everything from the center pulling to that original guide. And we got that. I'm going to continue on until I run out of hair. We've got all of the center part of our haircut done. We've pulled everything to the quarter part and got everything nice and short.

Reducing the Blend

If I'm happy with this I can move on, but I think what I'm going to do is we've got a pretty good buildup of length going to here and I think I need less of a blend through there. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through and take a vertical section and change the angle on that. So instead of it gradually increasing in length I'm going to keep everything the same length all the way around the back. So we're going to start here. There's my guide length there in the crown. And I'm going to continue 90° from the head all the way down into the nape where I reach the very top of my parting at the occipital bone. There we go. Now we've got instead of increasing in building up length I have maintained the same length all the way down from the crown through the nape. From here, I'll pivot. Follow the same pattern, pull everything 90°, find my guides, cut that down and through until I reach the top of my parting in the nape which is pinned out of the way for safety's sake so I don't end up cutting that. We'll keep going until we run out of hair. Keep that one out of the way. Come on.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   There I like that. I like that better. That's got a lot more pop to it. It's a little bit more dynamic. So we have this complete disconnection of our short hair into the nape. So it kind of makes this righteous kind of mullet shape. And while I love the fact that it is so disconnected I want to go through and soften that up just a little bit.  

Blending Around the Nape

So I'm going to go through and visually add some blend so that it's not so severe of a cut off. I think if I was to buzz this shorter and go for the classic Chelsea it's fine, but for this I'm trying to modernize it to make a softer more approachable kind of look. Okay so from here I'll take a center section. Take it vertical. You can see the severity of the disconnect so I'm just going to go through and very gently give me a little bit of a blend. I'm not worried about it blending like completely perfectly. I still want to keep that real severe kind of mud flap going on in the back. Take my next section. I'm not even going to look at my previously cut guide. I'm only looking at the short piece of where I'm coming from and then the length of where I'm going to and trying to go through and add a little bit of blend through there so I get a little bit of softness and separation through there. And then the same thing, get that little piece up there where it belongs. The same thing on the very last section on this side. I think what I need to do is put a little bit of channel cutting into this to really add a little bit more separation so that while my mud flap still has some blend, I want more separation to it. And you see by putting that vertical texturing, that separation, how it instantly forced the shape to collapse and now it's a lot more head hugging which I like better. So I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. There we go. I'm liking that quite a bit.  

Blunt Bangs and Hair in Front

Okay so now here around the front I'm going to separate my bangs. Let's go through and cut these really really blunt. Since everything else is so soft in this haircut with so much texture from the razor let's make this bang, this fringe very hard and make it the focal point of the entire haircut. So I'm going to comb everything clean from the roots all the way down. I'm going to plant my fingers and then gently clamp with zero tension and then going through and using my Jatai Osaka Scissor, it's the sharpest scissor I got with a nice fat heavy blade so I can really get some power behind it. I'm going to cut everything nice and clean and blunt right there across her forehead. There is my fringe section. Cut that solid across. And I don't want it to get longer so I need to change the angle of my fingers. I'll get a rough shape into it and then once I finish the rough shape and blow it dry, then I'll go through and clean it up. After I've got the bangs cut, I'm going to go through and take the entirety of the left side comb everything down. You can see my short little separation right here. My finger is going to match where I want that to fall in the front and then a little shorter gradually getting a little longer going towards the front so it hugs right there at the chin, right at the jawline. Now let's do the same thing or try to do the same thing on the other side. There we go. I think we might have got lucky and got it on the first shot. Don't speak too soon though, but I like the way that's hitting the chin. Ouch! I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket. It's actually even. I'm pretty happy with that. Now at this point let's blow it dry, take a look at it and see what we got.

Final Look of the Chelsea Haircut

Here's our end result. I think it looks pretty cool. I think it looks pretty, a re-imagined version of an early 80s hardcore Chelsea. Softens it up a little bit, adds a little bit of you know modernity to it keeps it soft but yet still edgy. There's always a juxtaposition between styles when it comes to a Chelsea. You got this hard clean front and then this wild Japanese textured in the back and I think that that works well for the right person. Anyway, check out the Jatai Academy.

We'll see you next time.

One of the most iconic long hairstyles is the retro 70s feathered haircut. Reminiscent of Farrah Fawcett's style, this look has lots of volume with or without feathered bangs. Using a round brush or curling iron to create the iconic face framing curls and style feathered hair, this look is a type of cut that has lived on for decades. Watch this 70s feathered hair tutorial and follow along with the transcript below.  

70s Feathered Haircut Tutorial:

Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a study of 70s feathered layering. We're going to modernize it using the Feather Plier Razor and I'm going to show you all the key points, how to make it move, how to make it flow, how to make it piecey. So let's get started. To go through and start I'm going to take a natural or center part to the crown, the crown to the occipital bone, occipital bone down to the center of the spine, occipital bone to the mastoid, which is that bump right behind each of the ears. I'm going split this section in half because it's a lot of hair and I can't deal with that much hair at one time. I want to go through and establish my baseline of length.  

Establishing the Perimeter of this 70s Feather Haircut

Now she has a lot of hair and it's very thick and I want to keep it that way, but I do want the ends to be soft and airy and light. The classical way of doing a feathered haircut is you cut everything blunt and then you hit the ends with a thinning scissor. I'm going to get a similar result by using my Feather Plier Razor. It is a guardless razor and it will give me the cleanest cut of any of my razor tools that I have. So I'm going to start right here in the middle, comb everything clean from the roots all the way down to where I want my overall length to be and then we're going to go through and with a pretty broad stroke cut my overall length. This is going to give me a little flicky separation on the ends without a lot of weight on the ends, but it's still going to be a solid shape because I'm not going through and doing a lot of internal texturizing. We're going to take our next section, bring this straight down. My fingers will run slightly past where I cut previously and then try to keep the same sort of razor stroke all the way through. We're going to do the last section on the left side. And here I'll start on the inside. Try to keep the same razor stroke. And you'll notice I keep this hand perfectly still. So once I plant my fingers this hand does not move, only the razor moves. I want a nice clean cut line. Now we're going to take the next section. Bring this down. Start right in the middle. Comb this clean all the way from the roots down through the ends. There is my guide that I'm cutting to. Open my razor. Cut on top of my guide as closely as you can. Now the shape of this is going to be very very soft. So I'm not worried about everything being exactly perfectly on top of. As long as it's in the general vicinity of where my previously cut guide was, I'll be fine. There we go. Here's my guide. Cut that across. Check that. We got a few little pieces there. And now we'll go through and check and make sure it's similar in length on each side and I don't have any long little pieces that I missed. And I'm liking that and that's looking pretty good except for that. There we go. That's looking pretty good. Now I'm going to continue on doing the same method of just taking parallel sections all the way up the head until I've cut everything the same length. Going to go through and finish our last section here and just make sure there's no long little pieces hanging over. Try to keep everything combed to the same area that I was combing it in before with my underneath sections. Meaning that if I combed everything at an angle and I was holding everything parallel to my parting, I want to make sure that each section is being held in exactly the same spot that the previously cut sections were so that I don't end up pulling one section too far forward or another section too far back. Not much to cut here, but just making sure everything blends perfectly.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather  

Creating the 70s Feathered Layering

So now to go through and work on my layering, I'm going to go through and take a section where it's one flat section, two flat section, the third flat section right here down to the corner of the eyebrow. That's going to give me a pretty steep little angle here. I want to make my partings match the bone structures of the head so that it's easier for me to match the left side to the right side. If I'm going off bone structure and not just randomly guessing it's easier for me to be more precise about my partings. Okay so now from here I'm going to comb everything T to my parting and pull this forward. And this part is going to be my shortest piece right through here. So I want to kind of visualize where that's going to fall and I'm thinking probably about to her chin is a good length. Pull this forward, visualize where that short piece is going to be, comb it off the peak curvature of the head and then cut from the center forward. So what this is going to do is this is instantly going to build this same steep angle into my section that I cut and it's going to start forcing the hair to feather back. And since I'm holding it up at elevation it's going to layer that and keep it light and airy. Now the next section I'm going to go through is going to be parallel. I'll take a flat section parallel to the previously cut section. Make sure that that parting looks the same. Now from here it's going to start to get tricky because I want to elevate off of the peak curvature of the head. So the first section is showing me to hold it there. The next section is showing me to hold it here. The one after that will be here. So each time as I go further and further back I get more and more elevation. So I'll section here. I'm going to pick up all my sections of hair making sure that I don't pick up any hair from the opposite side of the head. I want to make sure that this is pinned down, that I can't pick any of that up. Because if I pick that up it's going to end up getting short in a hole on the other side. There's my previously cut guide. There's my razor. Keep the same broad razor stroke so I can keep the same sort of texture throughout. Following the curvature of the head and cutting that down and through. Check that and you can start to see I'm getting a real steep angle and everything's already starting to move and feather back. Next section parallel to the previously cut section. Now as I start to go back it's easier for me to tilt her head down and continue my line going back than it is for me to try to over elevate. There's my guide from underneath. Remove some of that. I can't handle all that hair at the same time. Bring that out and through. There's my guide from underneath. Cut that down and through. It's important to keep my partings as parallel and as even as possible. Now we're starting to elevate more. Tilt the head down a little bit more. There's my elevation. Pick up my razor. There's my guide from underneath. Cut that down and through. Down and through. You can see I'm starting to run out of hair as I reach the perimeter over the ear. Cut that down and through. Remove some of that. My next section going off continuing off the peak curvature of the head and you can see I'm starting to really run out of hair as I reach the top of the ear.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Next piece. There we go. Got just a little bit right there and the crown and I bet as I work here to the sides there's going to be little to no hair to cut. And there we go. So now let's go through and do the exact same thing on the other side. Alright, here's our end result of our cut. We've got a lot of layering concentrated here around the bang area and the front top of the head. It blends through, but it still maintains a really solid shape here on the bottom and it allows that lightness of the layering to feather back while still maintaining that shape. So let's go through and blow it dry and then we'll see what we got.  

70s Feathered Haircut End Result

Here is our end result. And I think that we really captured you know the essence of what a feathered hairstyle was and that's light and airy layering around the front gradually getting more solid in the back with a real solid shape back here on the perimeter line and light airy feathered layers around the front view. And by elevating everything and pulling it forward and going off the head shape that really helps release the weight and then combining that with a more modern approach of using the Feather Plier Razor that keeps me very light and airy in my layering but still helps me build up a nice solid shape. And I think that she looks pretty good. I like it a lot. Note: Her hair color is light, but this will work on darker hair colors as well. Check out the Jatai Academy. There's all kinds of fantastic information on there that will make you a better hairstylist and barber. Also let us know what you'd like to see in the future and until next time take care.

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 Scissor. 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.

Final Thoughts

When we look at Zendaya with short hair or long hair, she knows how to pull off many different looks. From this Zendaya butterfly bob to a Zendaya long bob, she gets it right. But you can recreate these looks as well with some know how and practice. For other bob haircut tutorials, visit Jatai Academy.  

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 Scissor. 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.
