"Hi I'm Casey on behalf of Expert Village and in this segment I'm going to show you how to cut the sides. In the last segment I showed you how to cut the back section of our haircut. So now we are going to move in to the sides. At this point I'm going to hold my razor a little bit different what I'm going to do I'm going to pinch the hair, I'm going to slightly kind of comb through it. Using light pressure and what this is going to do this is going to help keep pieces out. I'm just going to comb through and just cut my length wherever I need it to be so there is that part. Then what I'm going to do the same as I did in the back I'm going to pull hair out, I'm going to cut behind my fingers and I'm going to take off the same amount that I did for the back section. I'm just going to carry this forward right to the side. I'm going to work my way up from the bottom up to the top. I'm going to go ahead and comb the hair, I'm going to move it around make sure that I don't see any weak spots. Right back here is a trouble section so what you need to do is you need to comb hair, comb it towards there face and then cut it. Then what that would do that would just take that weight out of that back section of the haircut. The other thing you want to do when you are cutting the sides is you want to make sure that your client is not to poofy right in here if they are just go ahead and take a little bit more weight out of there. Again by coming right behind the hand using tension and pull down with the razor. I'm going to come back and I'm going to get a little bit more right here cause when I look at him he looks like he got a little bit to much right there. So all I'm going to do is flip that section up, use tension, cut behind it, comb it, and then that side is done. Stay tune for the next segment. "
