What we're going to do today is we're going to introduce to you to the raw 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, talk 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 created 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.
Start whatever length you wish to have here.
My advice to you is about an inch or, you know, 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.
And this what leaves 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 central back of the hair right here, do you remember
here where we have our guide line?
Do 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.
And 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 comps it within itself.
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 are looking for.
If you have any stragglers, just come back and pick it up and just clean it, so you just
touch it and it is out.
The bottom line, we feather it, the very back over here we scooped from under, well this
what we are going to do is we are 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.
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 are going to again do it just a little bit different
again due to the fact that being the heavy side I want this to actually cut under and
then flare out forward, so I am going to use the combination of the two, here it is, continue
like you did on the back, but as we are coming forward we are going to pick up more hair
and now we are doing it 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 are 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 are cutting from the side, look how soft it
comes forward and then back and very, very fringy, very, very soft throughout, take a
look, take a look, see, 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 comb out, 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 hair rather than big pieces of hair like this, I want to have
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 am 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 we are going to do is comb everything down again, you see this piece here where
it is real heavy, 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 am going to do is I am going to start obviously with long and then
I am going to take it shorter and shorter and shorter and I am 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 with very long, I am going to do this again and then I am going to take
on top of that I am 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 am going to take
one of the questions that we have is how much pressure do we put in when we cut, cutting
with this particular blade is actually much easier than cutting with the razor, first
of all it is much safer and it is safer because it takes more pressure to cut with this than
you will cut with the razor, if I was using the razor and I happened just to push too
hard or the razor blade on the razor was brand new, I will mow this right through it, I will
cut right through it and many times we have done that, you and I know that we have done
that, now then, what happens is with this particular blade either cutting from underneath
or from the top, notice that I am 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 would actually have to push it and move it and scrape it and move it,
nearly a scraping motion, a working motion, by also tilting back like this, now notice
to the degree of, here is 90, now I am taping the degree of the angle backwards like this,
if I come off like this I am 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 am 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 finish it off nice and soft on the face, not
dripping wet but like if it was just shampoo and towel dry, ok, 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, ok, I will begin
my cut about four inches from the top like this and just come straight down, 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 hairs cut 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 here 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
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, see that, real nice and
slow watch, and you see what happens to that, take a look, ok, then you notice where I finish
over here, then pick that, do not comb the hair straight across this way, please don't
do that because as the hair then falls back you have a big hole in here, but comb instead
of the hair straight down is a fall then we are going to pick again this piece, 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 here, 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 comb, comb, medium strokes
not real short but not real long until you are actually eliminating the hair, this is
what it looks like when it is cut, then I come back here and pick up the other piece
and look how easy it is in sample, but 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 hair cuts 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 that, 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.
