Hello everyone Paul form Rum barber here I managed to film this haircut in the shop
the other day I thought it might be useful as the client is growing his hair and though it s
basically just a trim the method can be used to create some shape in mid to longer length hair
To begin with I am going to separate the hair down the middle using a central profile section
Using the comb I can see where the highest point of the head is and from this point I will take
2 radial sections down to behind each ear Here I am using my finger on the front hair
line this helps me create a cleaner horizontal section which I will repeat this on both sides
At the back I will continue my central profile section from the top
from this central section I will take 2 horizontal sections The height of these sections will
depend on the density of hair The thicker the hair the lower these sections will be
As I am working with a medium density I have opted to work with about an inch
Starting in the middle I will pull the hair directly down and cut a straight line I am
keeping my finger tight to the skin to create a minimal amount of graduation
As you can see I am taking very little off as this is just a light trim Now I will work on
either side continuing my square line being careful not to round up as I reach the corners
I am going to continue working in this same format until I am above the occipital bone
Now I am above the occipital bone I am going to extend my sections horizontally out
to the front hairline so I can continue my line from the back to the sides I am going to bring
all the hair back behind the ear to preserve as much length at the front as possible
I will use the back of my hand to control the hair and continue my line from the back
I will continue working in this way until I reach the original horizontal section at the curvature
I can now bring all the hair down from the crown at the back
As there was a layer in the hair originally most of this won t reach the line we cut previously
I will now repeat this process on the other side
At the top I am going to create a rectangular section
running along the high curvature to below the crown
starting at the highest point of the head I will lift the hair directly up off the head
and cut a square line. Basically, removing the triangle I will now work in sections towards the
front hairline over directing each section back to the section at the highest point of the head
From this profile view you can see all the hair being brought back the first section
I am applying some uppercut deluxe foam tonic to the hair prior to drying to help form the curl
The diffuser attachment on the dryer will help me achieve a more controlled curl
Here you can see how I scrunch the hair with my hand to help the roots dry and gain some lift
Now the hair is dry I am going to apply a little beard oil to the hair to help define the curl
I know this is Not the most exciting haircut but I hope you found some parts of this tutorial
useful and it might help the next time you are helping someone grow their hair
Thanks very much for watching and I will see you next time
