Trimming Hair for A-Line Bob Haircuts

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Casey and I'm here with Elements University and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment I am going to do our final check when the hair is dry. So what I'm going to end up doing, is I'm going to go through and I'm going to texturize just this lower part of the haircut, so then that way the roundness of my hair will actually want to fall in there. And how I'm going to do that is I'm going to come through here, and as you can see there's going to be a solid line, I'm just going to come through it and I'm just going to point cut it. And what that's going to do is it's just going to relieve some weight and it's going to allow the hair to kind of naturally fall into itself. And I'm just going to work myself around the head. Holding my hands at a forty-five, because I don't want to disturb any of our angles and I want my shears to come straight in, so then that way I don't cut any length as well. I'm just going to come in and remove some of that weight. And again just remember to keep your hand at a forty-five, because you don't want to disturb the shape. And point cut straight into the haircut. And I'm just going to lighten up this solid line right here. And I'm only going to do the back section. I don't need to do this on the sides. I'm still kind of over directing the hair to the back of the head to keep the length. So once I've completed that, at this point I need to remove the cape from my client again. What I'm going to do is have my client shake her head as hard as she can and then look straight down. What that's going to do is that's just going to let the hair naturally fall and then that way I can make sure that I have her neckline all cleaned up. So, I have a little bit right here that needs to come off. I'm going to come down straight at an angle making my length go longer towards her face. I'm going to come in and I'm going to clean up these little hairs. Go ahead and come up. Shake the hair a little bit; make sure that everything wants to fall right. Stay tuned for the next segment on the end result and styling."
