Hi guys, my name is Kayleigh, and I’m a hairdresser
I’m gonna give you a couple of little tips
on how we’re gonna get through this lockdown
while keeping our hair nice and healthy
I’m first gonna help you with a general trim up
If you have hairdressing scissors that is amazing
If you don’t, we’re just gonna
need to deal with what we’ve got
I don’t recommend that you use kitchen scissors
The blades on hairdressing scissors
and kitchen scissors are totally different
So like blades on kitchen scissors are dead thick
and they’re really really blunt
So, it’s gonna be hard to get
a nice even trim with that
And we don’t want that to damage your cuticle
So if you’ve hairdressing scissors, amazing
If you can’t get them you’re gonna do it
anways int you, so
When you’re cutting somebody’s
hair it’s all about the tension. So by tension I mean,
you hold on the bottom of your hair very tighly,
because if you don’t have tension, your hair can end up having
wee jaggy bits in it, which isn’t that great
Or for instance, it can have like another wee
step almost. When you’re getting your tension
with your hands, your tension you should
be able to hit your finger, and your tension
not move
Every hairdresser should tell
you to obviously uncross your legs, and put your head down
See when you’re cutting, try and keep your
head as straight as you possibly can
So it’s better to do this in a mirror
because you can see what you’re doing
We’ll start off with if you have a detangling brush
that is perfect, just to run your hands through it
And give your hair a good brush all the way through
Then I want you to get your comb
I want you to part it from here
And then that should sort of come down
until about your ear level
So then you’ve got about that
Next, your hairdressing scissors
And it’s your thumb, that does all the things
so you’ll notice that it’s my thumb that’s
moving everything. Then I want you just to
I’m talking about that. That tiny little
piece off. People might think like
*gasp* “My god she’s cutting
her own hair”, I’m talking
about a tiny trim. Just to make yourself feel
better through this lockdown.
When you’re cutting layers
It’s all about segments
of the hair. So like say
for instance... You can start roughly
at the crown. I’m trying to slide
down so you can see. That wasn’t very…
professional. That’s your sorta
guide right. So then, you
would go down, the head,
like that. See like a cholocate orange
It’s got segments.
It goes from the top to the bottom, sorta evenly
all the way round. Instead of your sections,
think of like a chocolate orange. I think that’s mibbe why I
picked it up so quickly ‘cause it’s chocolate
So this is just a wee tip
on how to freshen up your fringe,
or your bangs. Bring all your hair forward,
so it’s hanging over your face. Get the section of hair
that you’re having. And then you pinch
it together. I would twist
it round. You can twist it anti-clockwise
or clockwise. This gives it a more natural
effect, not just like a step. You can ‘point
cut’ as well. So for instance,
that’s how you point cut. With your fringe,
anything round your face, I would pull it forward,
‘cause then your own eyes can just justify what
they’re cutting off, how it’s gonna look,
and things like that. Just stick with the
basics here. I know during this time
getting your hair done would be the perfect
pick-me-up for a lot of us. Even if it’s like the wee
small things like trimming up
your bangs. But please be careful
on what you do because we don’t want your
hairdresser going crazy at your because,
you’ve gave yourself a short back
and sides when you were meant to
be trimming your hair
