welcome back to the one minute barber in today's tutorial i'm going to show you a
stretched out fade and i'm going to be cutting the top with scissors and creating what i would call
deconstructed bangs or a deconstructed fringe so there's a lot of technique in this video i'm gonna
be slicing and dicing let's get on with it right away so the hairs the hair is actually very long
just now so i'm gonna try and get this under control initially just by using a number three
so that i can then see what i'm working with so what i'm thinking here is that
i'm gonna take this up with the number three just to the parietal ridge and then glide off
but this might be around about my final length here i may take it shorter but initially i'll just
go up and try and remove the bulk without going any shorter than this okay so i've taken the bulk
off of this side here and what i'm going to do now is i'm going to put in my first bald line and i'm
going to keep it really low the reason for that is that on dark hair the more that you stretch a fade
out the better it's going to look let's put that low line in first i'm going to use my Andis d8
trimmer because it has deep teeth and it can accommodate quite a lot of hair in one bite
i'm going to dip down a little towards the back
right down like this and then i'll just do the same thing on this side
now obviously this is in a point and we don't want that so what i'm going
to do is i'm going to put in a line down the bottom here just below the occipital bone here
and then round these corners over
now it's time to just remove all of that
so my Andis t outliner has a very fine blade i'm just going to go over that again and
just clean it up to make it really short and nice and easy for the foil shaver to go over
now i'm going to foil shave that whole area
so again with this line here i'm going to move this about a half centimeter higher
and i'm going to use my andis t outliner again the t outliner is the next level up
from just skin so this will make it easier for us to blend into longer stubble as we move up
now that i've made that line i'm going to go in now with my wahl senior just with a closed
blade and i'm going to go slightly higher again just following that same line along
i'm just going to move my lever now to the halfway position so that's not fully open
it's just somewhere in the middle and i'm going to go up a little bit higher this is really the
hardest part is just making this graduation of no hair in a slightly longer and longer
stubble i'm going to push the lever right open and i'm going to go up just slightly higher again
so my fade's starting to take shape now i'm getting a longer and longer stubble you can
see there's a slight line here and i'm going to show you how to deal with that later in the video
but for now i can move on to my number one guard and start moving a little bit higher
sometimes you want to work across your section with the clipper but
when you're doing that make sure that one side is lifted away from
the head and you're only using the corner of the blade like this
so i have a little dark area here this is where the bones connect in the head
and i'm going to use a one and a half there and just go slightly higher
it's starting to progress here but i'm going to put on my half guard and just
fine tune it a little bit there's a little area here which is kind of dark
i'm going to use the corner of the half guard
and this area here now this area where the foil shaver meets the clipper what i'm going to do
is i'm going to dab down on that with the foil shaver and that will soften that line a little
bit
at the back here we've got the the bald line and then i've just come up with the
t outliner a little bit higher
now i'm going to switch to my zero and just go a little bit higher now switch to the quarter
and finally a half the fully open blade
now an important piece of information here is i've taken that bang on the occipital bone so
it's actually gained some length by the time it's got to the occipital bone there
that's going to make it so much easier for me when i come to blend this into the longer
hair if you go beyond the occipital bone it means you're gonna have to take the crown a lot tighter
so number one guard now and a little bit higher again
so you can see the shape that i'm trying to create here i'm trying to go
straight up here and make a nice shape coming off this a little bone like that
i don't want to go over the top onto the crown and again that dab down technique with
the foil shaver just around this bottom line here where i was with the t outliner
right i'm going to cut the top and it's a good idea to decide upon the shape of the top
like if you were looking at the side of your client and they had their hair styled
how would you imagine the hair to sit so i'm going to show you a way what we're going to
do is we're going to pick up a section all the way from the back to the front
we'll lift it up and then like you could make it square you can make it rounded there you can
make it shorter at the front and that's going to dictate the overall style of your haircut
so i reckon i need for styling probably about that much here and i can take it a
little bit shorter on the crown because i want a little bit of lift on the crown so
this section at the front here where the bangs are and i'm going to leave that a little bit
longer because i'm going to do something really cool with that i'm going to deconstruct that area
and make it really choppy it's a technique that's quite unusual you may not have seen before but
i'm sure you're going to love it
so now that i have that shape i can actually take sections across the way and i can see
the short hair and i'll be able to cut to that that will be my guide as i work my way forwards
so i take a section there with my comb pick that up
i can see some of the short hair in the middle and i'm going to just trim that away
so you can see the short here and i'll just keep working my way forward
following that guideline take another section pick it up work my way forwards
and as i get to the front again i'm just going to over direct
pull it back a little bit and keep that length on there
now i'm going to work down this side so if i comb all that hair forwards
i can see that this hair here hasn't been cut if i lift that up
there's going to be really long hair there now what i want to do is i want to keep it kind of
square like a square shape so i'm going to lift my fingers up a little at this side
lift the fingers up a little this will mean it's kind of square across the top
here
and i'll do the same down this side as well
pick my section up but lift the fingers up a little bit
i've cut this area in the middle of the top with the scissors but we've got all
this around the edges to blend in and we've got the fringe to do so what we're going to do is
simply lift this up and tilt out so you can take what i would call a corner off and work
your way around the whole area in a horseshoe fashion i'm going to do this side and then i'll
do the other side and then the back but for you just work your way around in a horseshoe
fashion
as you get to the occipital bone area the crown just do the same thing lift out
so a deconstructed fringe what we're going to do is
we're going to pull just a small amount of the fringe out underneath
so this is just this is just going to be a small part of the fringe here
okay and what we're going to do is just really cut this quite choppy by just chipping in
create a different angle here
and this is going to lie underneath our eventual fringe
and it's going to add so much texture to the finished look
so i've cut this very random looking fringe but what i'm going to do is i'm
going to just pull all this hair over the top now
and you can no longer really see it but what i'm going to do is i'm going to take this long
stuff and i'm going to cut it slightly longer than the short fringe i created underneath
and i'm just chipping in because i want
texture
and just for good measure i'm going to slice down a little bit as well let's slice this fringe
just slice little sections be careful not to close the scissor blade
just slice up above it a little bit just for some more texture
a little bit there i'm gonna dry this off now but these deconstructed bangs i'm quite excited
about i can't wait to see how that looks and then i'm gonna just clip it over comb to blend it in
i'm just going to style this now with some hair bond super
thank you for making it to the end of this tutorial it's quite a long one
i hope you liked that little technique with the bangs when it was all kind of textured i like
doing stuff like that it's quite creative i don't know about you tell me in the comments below what
you thought how do you wear your bangs yourself or do you prefer a more commercial finish let me know
in the comments below okay so if you want to see some more from me hit subscribe down below i hope
you've enjoyed the video and until next time good luck with your fade in and your choppy fringes
