Thought of the week-layering

Gorgeous blue well done you xx

 

[Bluerinse]

That's gorgeous.im desperate for a restyle, so tempted to go shorter when I see pics like this

You think? I wasn't to pleased as I had cut most of the dead out but that's still really dry (despite putting treatments on) so it was a cow to blowdry and chop into and it wouldn't sit right x

 

[pinky lou]

Anyone heard of twist cutting?

You section the crown area of hair off (or wherever shorter disconnected layers are wanted) secure the length of the hair so you don't cut it, now twist the crown area hair straight up (like you twist when going to clip it out the way) then take your thinning scissors and cut through your twist!

Release the hair and there you have it loads of volume and texture throughout the top section of hair

I do this alot on shorter styles to help create volume and texture.

And disconnected layers i love them

Too many techniques to list...... Depends on hair style wanted, hair texture etc! Graduation, square graduation, reverse graduation, transient graduation, over cutting, natural inversion, square or box layers, round layers .............. ;-)

Whats square graduation? Is reverse where you start at the bottom or instead of the top or is it where you pull in the opisit direction to normall graduation and is over cutting the same as over direction cutting?

I use square grad a lot on short haircuts, section the hair into a horseshoe and clip top out of way, cut from centre of back forward on each side holding finger straight out ie not bending to follow head shape.
Reverse graduation is shorter at crown leaving weight in length.
Over cut uses a keyhole section generally at crown although you can use this anywhere you want a shorter disconnected layer. It's hard to explain sometimes as people use different language to describe sections or techniques! If I have some spare time I'll try an draw out these on head sheets

I dont like thinning scissors i think you get more control from point cutting or slicing so to speak ask your tutor to show its so much easier i think xx

Yeah I find that much easier I normally use those techniques, for general thinning I never even use my thinning scissors! I think it's lazy xx
