Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Casey on behalf of Expert Village and in this segment I'm going to show you how to complete the top of the haircut. In the last segment I showed you how to cross check your sides. So this is the traditional way on how to go ahead and cut the top of his haircut with the razor. What you want to do you want to go ahead and comb the hair over to the side, cut up, under, and on top, use tension again come behind your hands and take the same amount off generally what you would on the sides. Again you are going to talk with your client before you get start as to how much they want off. So again pull you always want to move the hair to make sure you have enough texture and what I'm going to do is just work my way around from one side of the head to the other. Work your way to the bottom up to the top, as I'm working on the top I kind of want to elevate the hair a little bit more so that way I'm not cutting into the hair that I previously cut. So I'm going to come up to the top, I'm going to raise it up and I'm going to come behind my hand. And you can go ahead and move this in all different directions to make sure you get enough texture in there. Again I'm going to start at the bottom and work my way up, I'm going to pinch the hair, definitely use tension and remember to always keep your clients hair wet. I'm going to work my way to the back. As I move up the hair you want to lift up so you are not cutting into your previous hair that you just cut. Again at the top of the head lift up, cut it in all directions, move it forward. Always check it in the mirror, I'm going to come to the front, I'm going to turn my client, I'm going to work on the bang section right here, I'm just going to pull it forward, I'm going to cut behind my hand to give him a ton of texture. In the bang area you want to use light pressure you don't want to take to much out of there and the rest you want to use in medium. Stay tune for the next segment. "
