How to (Texture Hair) – Texturizing Hair

How to Texture hair Tutorial:

Texturizing Hair is a great way of completing an otherwise unfinished haircut.

Emmanuel, a Master Stylist from Atelier Emmanuel Hair Salon in San Francisco, California shows how Fixing Layers with Texturizing using thinning shears can add life to a haircut.

To achieve this look, Emmanuel recommends you texture at different angles (flat, angled, straight into the hair) using what he calls the Piquetage Technique. Use thinning shears to blend layers and create better flow. Check out the video again to see the correct angle he recommends to prevent cutting of too much hair and to see this technique in action. Piquetage should be used at the roots to give lift to the hair. The end effect is shorter hairs supporting the longer hair.

To finish off the cut, Emmanuel demonstrates a Finger Texture Hair technique. Laying hair can create problems, and placing your fingers correctly on the hair helps to prevent that. If a problem does arise, you can fix layer issues with texturing techniques using thinning shears, razors and/or scissors. Be sure to carefully watch everything that you are doing, as sight is just as important as technique while styling.

To learn more about the best thinning shears for your hairstyling needs, check out the ScissorBoy website.

(Layered Haircut) (Long Layered Hairstyle)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH OTHERS, AND EMBED IT INTO YOUR BLOGS, SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, ETC ETC. I don’t mind at all!

So you want to learn how to do a layered haircut for your clients but have no idea where to start? Check out this tutorial and you will see just how simple and easy a long layered hairstyle can be.
Start with sectioning and work on the back section first, overdirect and bring everything back towards you.
Cut straight across at the bottom to remove length, then use point cutting to achieve the long layered hairstyle as it adds texture and reduces weight.
TIP: Be sure to establish overall length *BEFORE* beginning layering process, by removing length at the sides as well as the very bottom.
Once you get the hair to the length that you want it to be, you can start creating your layers.
To begin the layering of the long hairstyle, start with the back section and work your way around the head. You can either go from left to right, or right to left its up to you, just make sure that whatever method you use, you can achieve balance with the final layered haircut.
Tip: Build a foundation in either direction in a structured manner, as in the end you can get a bit more creative and be able to freestyle with your scissors. Its up to you to train your eye in seeing the weight, and really taking any finished layered hairstyle to the next level.

Continue layering by taking small sections of previously-cut hair as a guide and the following it through, and continuously point cutting.
Next, create a horseshoe shape parting and overdirect the hair forward and start taking a little bit more weight off of the front to achieve the layered haircut effect. Then bring everything from the front to the back, and to get more height, overdirect the hair and take more weight of in the crown.
Next start to work on the fringe of the layered cut. Establish the length in the front and use that a guide for the fringe.
TIP: To find the point of the fringe, start at the round of the clients for best results, but in general start where you feel most comfortable, where you creativity takes you. In hairstyling there are no rules, you can be avant garde, disconnected and experiment to your hearts content.

Just make sure that the end result is that perfect layered haircut so your client is happy and comes back to your chair!
