    This is really helpful. I always ask for layers at the salon, since my fine hair always has more body, more even curl, and more volume when it has layers. The stylist will argue with me every single time, insisting I need to stick to all one length with fine hair. After arguing awkwardly about who knows my hair better, I fold before I become angry, she cuts it all one length, then it just hangs limp and the natural wave is off-kilter. Then I give her money. So frustrating, and it's the same routine at every salon! I now hate going to the salon. This video is encouraging, and I might just try this myself!!

      I agree. There are too many incompetent stylists out there who don't listen, and, unfortunately, they tend to be males. I had a problem with my daughter's hair where her thick, wavy hair was extremely dry on the top layer and constantly matted. Her godmother had been taking her to her salon and I had suggested layering it. My advice was ignored by all and the problems persisted. Too many salons seem to focus on high maintenance hair styles and selling products. I ended up personally cutting her hair in layers and that solution worked great. Her hair looks much healthier and is much easier to maintain - tangles are almost non-existent.

I even went to a redken school in July, was given a typical hair cut and after asking for a technique to help my crown area ( the reason for going there in the first place because of a sam villa video/technique ) was told there was really nothing that would help other than teasing it and using a few redken products. shrug shoulders.

      Charles Hall always when you walk to a new salon ask the reception to put you with a master stylist or the most expert stylist that salon has. Be prepared to pay what that professional stylists weight in term of experience and education. I guarantee you you will be so happy you got what you asked for.
      Real educated stylists it’s hard to find .. you will only find them at very high end salons not the corners cheap ones ! Im s H stylist and I’ve attended high education classes with this company and those classes are very expensive - but only driven and real professionals know how to. And that’s why you will pay a lot of money for that haircut u really want . My hair cuts starts @ $150 + why?bc I’m well educated in my field and I know I’m worth it!

      @@silvermont331 I agree with you that a GOOD stylist is worth investing in developing a relationship..after all being pleased with your hair is crucial to maintaining a great sense of positivity about your appearance- that expertise is the reason we aren't in the bathroom w/ our cutting shears and trying to follow ourselves a RUclips video..
      Here's what I don't understand..often the great haircuts I remember getting as a teenager, when $16.50 - $22.00 was the going rate for a
      ' master stylist ' can't reliable be had, without getting lucky and being told you need to spend $150.00 before a 20% tip and to maintain at home..that much again in ' quality products '..
      What's more I see stylist here confirm that when they were in school 40 years ago, this was the way they were taught to provide a haircut!
      I go into a salon looking for someone who received the basic education in learning these techniques to begin with--
      The additional ' expertise ' should be the result of learning to apply these principles to a variety of different hair types and individual features, not learning to cut hair successfully.
      While it is a fact that everything costs more..my bill..your education.. we both have the responsibility to determine that we are making wise purchasing decisions..
      A happy customer is a repeat customer..one who will provide you with a plethora of referrals from other customers who share that commitment to patronizing an establishment they trust and the resulting Faith to purchase both your up sell services for color or treatments and the product referrals that add to your bottom line..
      Yes hair services are more than than were in the 80's and 90's but you guys have to recognize that most of us don't make 8-10 times what people did back then.
      Business success still comes from offering a quality service at a great price point- your ability to deliver this will provide the competitive advantage that allows you to have the financial security and working conditions that suit your desires.

And I only do a "passable" job now, as I cut my hair when it's dry, and I don't follow any rules except to angle the scissors to try to achieve the layer I want. I hope present-day stylists watch your video because you absolutely nailed it. If you lived near me I would start going to YOU to cut my hair.

    I took just enough cosmetology classes when I was in high school to be confident enough to cut my own hair and my family’s hair. I’ve always struggled with doing layers in my fine hair especially because I like to wear it longer than shoulderlength. This was so helpful and I appreciate it very very much.
    I almost broke down and went to a beautician to get the weight lifted out of the top part of my hair. I’m just so glad that I was able to do it myself with your guidance. It’s much easier for me to except small errors that I might make then to deal with a huge one mistake that that I’ve paid for and takes a year to grow out.

    As a person with long fine hair I really appreciate this! People literally give me mullets with zero hair left on the sides and they texturize my hair into these airy pointy layers that do nothing for me. I end up with what I call “air hair” because it’s like sections of it will be so thinner that they end in points of 1-2 hairs. Why do hairdressers do this? How can I as a client get what I’m asking for? I’ve said “don’t connect, don’t face frame, cut it blunt, no more texture needed” and I get ignored most of the time. I’ve had one person disconnect my layers and the next person comes in and reconnects them so all the growing out I just did for a year is GONE in one haircut. 😐 if you can give me help with language I would LOVE that. I want long fat layers no back layering a bit of layering on the sides and a side-swept bang. I’ve referred to this as a child’s haircut because the simplest cut is the best on MY hair. People take chunks out of it and my clip in extension collection shows it! They take the hair I NEED. And I have to “borrow” all of my back hair just to have any on the side!!

    • @rain3743
      @rain3743 4 года назад +3

      You want movement in the sides and no layers in the back right? They need to build graduation at your face frame, so when they cut for a face frame, the elevation is lower and the hair is combed forward and down, as opposed to high and angled. I section out the side perimeter and don't include it in any layering to avoid that cut away feeling. I visually blend very fine hair and cut it dry. A side swept fringe should not be an issue. I don't understand that problem.

    Awesome video thank you! I cut my daughters fine hair and I have the issues you discuss at the start. Last cut I did had similar angles to this but then I had to take a diamond section at the crown to kindof blend the layering because of her crown being much more dense and the layers starting as a bit of a shelf. This seems like a better and quicker method. Thank you!

      Do you cut your girls's hair, yourself, too? I've been cutting my girls's for years (I also have done my own cuts & colors for years, and gotten compliments from professionals, so I know I can at least do a decent job, though not of course as good as someone like this). I've been doing mine for twenty+ years, but videos like this are amazingly helpful--wish they'd been around when I started cutting mine!

    I've been losing my hair this last year. I saved it for the dermatologist and it's a gallon sized bag. I can't stop crying about it and the Drs didn't know why it's falling out. It was long sms full but now short and thin. It's starting to look like a frickin mullet and I need it cut! I have no idea what to do,who to go to or what style... I'm sooo lost.....girls be thankful for the hair you have😢this video gave me a little hope of doing layers and maybe it'll look decent😔

    Ive been trying to find a hair stylist to do this type of layering. This is old school layers. I tried to explain this method before I saw this video to my current hair stylist and she looked at me like I was crazy. You know, the "you don't know what your talking about" look. I am going to get a wig like this and bring it with me so I can demonstrate. 😂😉

  • @annes2cents233
    @annes2cents233 2 года назад +1

    Andrew you are by far the best haircutting teacher! You explain concepts well and take your time to allow us to absorb it all, LOL. But I must ask for more of a reason about the back layering technique to understand -- What's the difference between turning your cutting angle to horizontal on a 90 degree horizontal layer from simply combing and cutting the layers at 45 degrees instead? Does it create a curved cut or something?

    This is great.. Unfortunately I don't know any hairdressers near me who know how to deal with my fine hair. I always dread when they wash my hair too. Ends up in never-ending knots. I wish there were more hairdressers as educated about fine hair. No matter how much dead ends I get cut off I always end up with knotty hair

    • @QueenTeriquable
      @QueenTeriquable 6 лет назад

      Make sure your stylist removes the plug from the sink. That little thing will tangle the hell into your fine hair (if it’s long).

    • @stephaniejackson3404
      @stephaniejackson3404 5 лет назад +9

      Hello, I have been a stylist for over 30 years I am also an instructor. Fine hair will always knot it is just because it is easier to damage. Always use conditioner after you shampoo. Shampoo is alkaline to remove gels, hairspray and environmental dirt from the hair. Conditioner is acid based to bring the hair back to the correct pH. Be sure you use one for fine hair but always condition. A lot of my fine haired clients don't like conditioner until I explain why they need it. Also rinse longer so you remove the weight of the conditioner from the hair. A very light argan oil is also great for fine hair and will not weigh it down. Place your mousse or root lifter at the root only as using on the ends will only weigh your hair down. I hope I have helped.

    • @Zlata1Z
      @Zlata1Z 5 лет назад

      This is helpful, thank you Stephanie! Should conditioner/mask be applied from root to tip on fine hair?
      As long as remember myself, I always cried after haircuts so at some point I grew it long and was getting just regular blunt trims. Now that I'm 43, the hair quality is changing (it's thinning, and straight hair became partially ;-) wavy) and overall look is not sophisticated. Is blunt bob with side swept bang or no bang at all is too "vintage" looking? Also, length to shoulder blades - where exactly it is? What is the ideal length for 40+ fine haired lady who is also Petite 5'3" Inverted Triangle (shoulders wider than hips, wide chest, small breasts - mini tennis players/swimmer )body type? What cut would make me look my best? Thank you.

      blueshoes915. One thing I just learned was to ponytail the lower half of my hair, and tell the stylist you just want thin layers with the top, then your hair isn't getting thinned out like they usually do.
