What we're going to do today is we're going to introduce to you to the wall clipper razor
blade.
Now, please do understand this is absolutely totally different type of a blade.
Please watch very carefully.
Whenever you cut with a razor, obviously you have to have wet hair.
And here is important that the hair is wet when you're cutting.
Just pick up the width of the blade and hold this top to the fingers and then take your
blade and introduce it.
Just stroke down.
Don't worry about it.
This is what it will produce.
You see it?
Very soft, fringy look.
Now if you have a little longer piece, just pick it up in between your fingers like this
and just simply walk it through with the blade and this will give you long and short, very
fringy, very, very fringy look.
And here you have it, take a look.
Okay?
We create a nice, soft, easy, easy, easy, fringy look around the neck line.
Now the rest of it, the entire strand gets combed down, straight down like this over
what we have done.
Pick up, always start in the center and always pick up the width of the blade.
Whatever length you wish to have here, my advice to you is about an inch or from the
top line over here and do this to it.
Watch.
Think you have a razor.
Think that you have a razor in your hand and just comb down with it, just like this.
You see how easy it is and how soft it leaves the haircut?
In keeping what we're doing with the clippers, it's faster, easier and better.
It is very hard to achieve this haircut even with the razor because the razor will slice
the hair a little bit too much when this would leave nice, bulky and yet very fringy and
soft feeling into the haircut.
Now then, please pay particular attention to what we're going to do next.
Take the entire back and comb it down and take care about the distribution of
the hair on top of it.
It is very important that it gets distributed exactly the way you want the style to look
or the way the hair is going to hang on the finished style.
Moisten the hair with water or any cutting solution that you happen to have.
It is better, however, for you to use a cutting solution.
Beginning on the very back, on the center back of the hair right here, do you remember
here where we have our guide line?
You remember I told you that we were going to do about one inch?
Lengths over here, now we're going to start here in that very length.
Take the clipper, go into it and just do this.
Pull it square towards you and just keep it cutting until you have totally eliminated
the lengths of the hair.
We're going to do exactly the same thing to the left of the mannequin.
Just stay away from the head form, insert the clippers and do this to it, like this.
This is what you have, take a look.
This will happen every time you use the clipper and the beauty about this is that the style
is already actually cut and ready to go.
No matter what you do to it because the way we cut this, the way we cut the hair, obviously
when it comes down it cops it within itself and this is caused by the razor blade that
we use on the clipper, take a look.
It is unreal how fast and easy it is to cut and how beautiful the cut is after you finish.
Just scoop it right out of there, just take it right out of there.
Do not stop parting it, if it is a little bit longer, if you feel that you have left
too much length, just pick it up and cut it again until you have exactly what you're looking
for.
If you have any stragglers, just come back and pick it up and just clean it, just touch
it and it's out.
The bottom line, we feather it, the very back over here we scooped from under, what this
is going to do is we're going to go from the side like this because we want this to lay
down but at the same time we want it to move it forward, so by doing this we actually free
the hair to do an enormous amount of beautiful, beautiful looks and it gives a ton of freedom
to the style.
Let me take a look.
On the other side or on the heavy side of it, see how I part this, so this becomes the heavy
side, on the heavy side we're going to again do it just a little bit different again due
to the fact of being the heavy side I want this to actually cop under and then flare
out forward.
So I'm going to use the combination of the two, here it is look, continue like you did
on the back but as we're coming forward we're going to pick up more hair and now we're doing
just like we did the other side, not from the top but from the side coming forward.
Very short strokes, about a half inch to an inch strokes, otherwise it gets way too fringy
on this side here we're going to finish a chin length and I will show you why as soon
as we get to the front.
Now please notice what it produces when you're cutting from the side, look how soft it comes
forward and then back and very, very fringy, very, very soft throughout, take a look, see
just it lays right into it, okay, now I want you to watch this, take a look, see how beautiful
it comes back to it, take a look, just a quick coma, boom, boom and down and it's right there.
Now let's deal with the front, we are going to do the front and what I want to do is I
want to have the sprigs of here rather than big pieces of hair like this, I want to have
a just soft little easy sprigs coming out, take one inch of hair around the head form
comb the wrist back, take the razor blade and from under I'm going to come right forward
just working it out like this, just slide it right out.
Now this will be totally up to you how artistic you want to be, if you don't like this long
like this just pick it up again, touch it and it comes off, see it, make it much softer,
this is incredible, easy and beautiful, it cuts and it is, it's just unreal.
Now what are we going to do is comb everything down again, you see this piece here where
it's real heavy, do you remember we parted here one inch away from the head form, take
that piece up, do not stress it forward like this, please don't do this but take that one
piece up down below here, see what it fits over here, take this up like this in between
your fingers and start from underneath and be sure that you fit this in.
Now on this side here basically you do whatever you want, I would like to do a couple of looks
for you, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to start obviously with long and then I'm
going to take it shorter and shorter and shorter and I'm going to real tight up here but walk
down with that so I have all kinds of different lengths, see, I have a little pieces over
here but very long, I'm going to do this again and then I'm going to take on top of that
I'm going to part another inch parting as you can see and do it again
and then come back here, pick up the rest of the long pieces and blend in, just a little
corner here, see look, so we have this particular look, take a look, that neat, I promised you
a different look, again what I did is I moved the part in the center and I'm going to take
one of the question that we have is how much pressure do we put in when we cut?
Cutting with, you know, cutting with this particular blade is actually much easier than
cutting with the razor, first of all it's much safer, okay, and it's safer because it
takes more pressure to cut with this and then you will cut with the razor.
If I was using the razor and I happen just to push too hard or the razor blade on the
razor was brand new, I will mow this right through, I will cut right through it and many
times we have done that, you and I know that we have done that, okay, now then, what happens
is with this particular blade either cutting from underneath or from the top, notice that
I'm going in at 90 degrees, the thing is that as I go in I will start coming down and slice
and slice and slice and slice and cut, now in that mode it takes a little bit more pressure
than you would on the razor and definitely, definitely a whole lot of more pressure if
I was just using the regular blade on the clipper, if I had the regular blade on the
clipper, man, the minute I touch like this it just comes off, with this I'd actually
have to push it and move it and scrape it and move it, literally a scraping motion,
a working motion, by also tilting back like this, now notice the degree of, here is 90,
now I'm taping the degree of the angle backwards like this, if I come off like this I'm creating
much longer pieces, much longer lengths, so this, it just gives you an absolutely total
freedom of anything that you wish to do, take a look at this for example, watch this, watch,
I have a piece over here, watch, I'm going to take this and just, watch, see, walk it,
just slice it, slice it, slice it, this is what it will give me, see it will give me
a very thin, heavy over here, thin throughout here, but always, always hiding the face,
always finishing off nice and soft on the face, not dripping wet, but like if it was
just shampoo and towel dry, okay, now I would like to do for you a very classical haircut
and basically what we want to do is we want to do a tapering throughout, so watch how
easy it is to do this, starting on the back, always start on the back for it is much easier
to keep the style even, part the width of the blade out of the hair, comb it away from
the head form and hold it firm in between your fingers like this, you notice that the
head is straight up and not on the mannequin, okay, I will begin my cut about four inches
from the top like this and just, I've come straight down, just, I insert the blade into
the hair and just come straight down like this, now, go around, always try to start
at the same place, come down, please notice that the hair has been parted on the center,
that is important, because if you don't part it on the center, then as the lady will comb
the hair, there is a chance that one side will be longer than the other, do the same
thing on this side, now, so we understand when I do this, I have in my mind an imaginary
line where I start all the way throughout here, whatever that imaginary line should
be, it should be your creativity and in your mind, so when we pick up the hair like this,
look, see, what happens is I always start at the same point, if you look at it, we have
a short hair almost all the way throughout, exactly the same length, but the wonderful
thing about this is that as well as we cutting short, we also cutting long, so we have everything
in between as you can see it, take a look, take a look what is happening over here, look,
I am going to take a little top strand over here to show it to you, watch, watch this,
watch, watch this, see what is happening to that, this is what we are looking for, we
are now looking to eliminate the bulk of the hair or the lengths, we actually want to taper,
but at the same time have lengths to it, so we are looking for a new way and new styles
and new feelings, now to finish it, I am going to take the side over here and what I want
to do is I want to create this look like this, so the back is a little bit longer and the
top is a little shorter, starting on the front, we are going to take the clipper from the
side like this and just cut it, just cut it right off, now you notice now I am using the
clipper to create a lot of softness on the ends, but at the same time I am cutting by
not stroking the clipper, by not giving long strokes to the clipper and just keep it very
short strokes, this is what it will give you, it will cut but at the same time it will give
you texture on the ends, but it will cut even, now on this side over here in order for me
to make it even, what I do is I borrow a piece from this side of the previously cut and comb
it together with the one that I am going to cut it, so I have here, do you see here my
guideline, right there, a nice way to always have a nice even haircut, if that is what
you desire, if you wish to cut in one side longer than the other go for it.
And now we bring the two together, take a look, and finish that off.
See what a different texture we are achieving when we do this, it is unreal how much hair
we actually take out, but most of all it is unreal how much hair we actually leave in.
Look at the lengths over here which normally would have been lost, here we have long, long
lengths but we have all kinds of layers within the lengths itself, so it gives a whole new
meaning and a whole new feeling in this particular cut.
If you desire those beautiful sprigs in front of the face on long hair, then please watch
this, start about two to two and a half inches from the hairline and just take it and just
come like this, watch, real nice and slow, watch, and you see what happens to that, take
a look, okay, then you notice where I finish over here, then take that, do not comb the
hair straight across this way, please do not do that because as the hair then falls back
you have a big hole in here, but comb instead the hair straight down is a fall, then we
are going to pick again this piece that is, see this piece here is on the way and it is
in front of the ear, that is the piece we are going to work on, we are going to grab
this and do exactly the same thing, start where our guideline is and just work it down
sliding, sliding and working and working and sliding and this is what we have, now please
notice one thing that this is happening without me putting any Dippity Doo, any hair fixative,
this is just water, take a look how beautiful this is, look, look here, the other side you
do the same, start over here about look, again two and a half inch from the top of the eyebrow,
just come in and cut, cut, medium strokes, not real short but not real long until you
actually are eliminating the hair, this is what it looks like when it is cut, then I
come back here, pick up the other piece and look how easy it is in sample, above of all
how fast and precise it is, we have no other tools that we can do this with, it is nothing,
it is nothing in the arsenal of hair cutting tools that you and I have that we can do this
with, we did these haircuts with wall clipper razor cutting blade and only wall clipper
razor cutting blade, no other blade was used, no other tools was used, I want you to take
a look at this one here, the bottom is layered, the top it is solid form, isn't that great
looking, on the short one over here as you can see is I took the very front over here
and just I put a few sprigs here and there, by rolling the razor cutting blade from underneath
I think is absolutely fabulous, now I want you to look at this, this is really really
neat, look at the side over here, look how much longer it is, an asymmetric look, look
how far out we carry the piece on the front, it is absolutely perfect, on the right customer
this would be incredibly beautiful and of course the beautiful long haircut, how can
you get away from this, totally layered, totally activated, the front has absolutely everything
and then you can comb anything you want to it, when I'm talking about everything it has
the little soft sprigs to it, when it is combed together it becomes a solid form and then
I would like to show you my very very favorite one, what I call is the futuristic or future
haircut and once you look at the style, it is a beautiful beautiful diamond shape, look
how the bottom comes up, totally activated and then of course the top comes on just to
adorn the bottom, take a look at it, I think that absolutely fabulous, I hope you enjoy
your blade and keep on cutting, thank you.
The razor cut blade, it's safer and easier than a razor, it's state of the art and now
we're going to show you how the blade works, first take a look at scissor cutting, scissors
are designed to blunt cut the hair which reduces the hair's movability, using texturizing shears
on scissor cut hair may vary the individual hair lengths but you still have blunt cut
ends that keep the hair from having much natural movement, cutting with a regular razor may
give the hair more movement but it also creates a shingling effect that can cause gaps or
holes in the hairstyle and the razor blade cuts extremely thin ends on the hair that
can cause damage and breakage, with Wahl's new razor cut blade you get a totally different
type of cut, short teeth cut individual hairs with either a right or a left angle depending
on which blade the hair passes by, then an incredibly sharp razor blade cuts the hair
with an angle from the top, the hair is still tapered for movement but not nearly as severely
as with the regular razor and what you end up with is a whole variety of lengths and
angles throughout the cut, it eliminates holes and it lets the hair move, compare one more
time scissor cutting for blunt ends, a regular razor for razor sharp ends or the new razor
cut blade, the safe and easy way to get maximum movement, texture and volume.
