Quick shout-out to Squarespace for sponsoring today's video. Good morning
guys, so for today we're gonna be doing a quick hairstyle update. I have been
getting tons of comments in my latest videos to show you guys what my new
hairstyle is. Basically I went from a very aggressive undercut it was really
high-end tight to something a little bit more classic a gradual fade. This was the
before, this is what I'm rocking now. So basically I'm gonna go get a haircut, as
you can see it's been about a month since I got a haircut, my hair looks
really messy and you're gonna see how I can take this course, dry, wavy, curly hair
to look, like that. So I'm gonna bring you along to my barber shop but I get my
haircut and also show you how I style my hair afterwards. Let's go. Alright guys so
we are in the barber shop now, like I said, my new hair style I tried to make
the undercut not as abrupt and more a gradual fade so I can last longer
without actually going to the barber shop and my hair style still looks
pretty good. So what my barber usually does is he leaves the front and longer
than the back, since I have coarse hair this is an easier way to style my hair,
if I leave the back of my hair long it's usually just gonna stand up and kind of
be poofy. So every time I go to the barber shop, I always get my back area
thinned out because of this so that's what he's doing right now, leaving the
front pretty long, which is what adds a volume. And as you can see off the bat my
hair is already laying way nicer than it was before, when it was grown out. Now
he's gonna go in with several a series of different clippers to kind of fade
into the top of my hair. Again, it's pretty gradual the fade will be lower
than before my skin fade used to rock it pretty high now it's a lower skin fake
as you can see he's starting pretty low. Now this type fade is perfect for me,
like as you saw in the beginning, my hair is pretty coarse and wavy. So unless
you're chemically straightening it it's almost impossible to manage a long hair
on the side. However, here as you can see it lays way nicer this is without any
product, it makes it easier to style my hair. Alright boys so we're back from the
barber shop, as you can see I got my fade nice and tight and like I was saying in
the commentary, I wanted something more gradual that wasn't so abrupt. I feel
like, I feel like the hairstyle flows better and I can go for longer periods
of times without cutting my hair and still be able to style my hair properly,
as opposed to keeping up an undercut. So now I'm going to show you how to style
the hair, as you saw in the beginning my hair super course very
wavy but when I when I'm finished styling it with the right products, I'm
able to make it look straight, shiny and with a lot of volume. So to start, I start
with this Black Label pre styler since I do apply heat it is important to use a
pre style to protect yourself against the heat.
This pre-styler is great because with only a couple of sprays it not only
helps protect against the heat but also helps the hairstyle have more volume at
the finished product and also protect against frizz. Now Black Label is a
sponsor of our show and I'm also gonna be using their shape paste, this is my
daily hair product that I use. I really like this for the hard hold in the matte
finish and it's very easy to work in it works great with my hair style. I am
gonna have a discount code to Black Label link down below, they have an
amazing selection of men's hair products. And the great thing is that not only are
they using really high quality materials, all their products just smell so amazing. If
you guys want to check out Black Label I'm gonna have them link down below. Also,
they're doing a promotion that if you sign up to their monthly subscription
they're gonna send you the first month's box free, so that's a pretty awesome
promotion you can try some of their amazing products. If you guys want to
check out Black Label I'm gonna have them link down below. So to start I am
gonna start with a very small amount of this Shape Paste, this goes a long way
which is what I like. You're not gonna be using a lot of this so it's gonna last
you quite a lot, so I used a little bit I applied it into my hair and then I
blow-dry my hair. I find it that this produces the best end result as opposed
to blow-drying your hair and then applying the product. Then, I'm gonna go
in with my comb, so once I have the pre styler it I like going in with my comb,
I'm using a metal comb it's pretty sharp so I'm able to develop a really sharp
line, and I start parting my hair where I want to part. Once the line is nice and
straight then I come in with my hairbrush, it's a boars hair hairbrush,
this is important because it helps transfer oils through your hair and it's
way better at tucking your hair as you're applying heat to make sure you're
straining it out. Now this is a technique that I use to be able to straighten out
my course wavy hair ,and that's why I'm able to make it look like I have
straighter hair. And the technique that I use with the brush is that I twist in
the direction that I want my hair to lay but I also once I have it nice and set
that part, then I go in and blow-dry in multiple directions. I dry my hair
against the grain the way that I want to lay, I also dry it backwards and
forwards and then to finish it off what I like doing is going just with my
fingers and kind of break the hair apart and not make it look as perfect, break
the strands apart that way it's not just this one helmet sleek looking hairstyle.
Usually I like breaking up my hair with my fingertips and I pull up as I'm
drying my hair, again just to add more volume as I'm drying my hair. And then
finally I grab a little bit more of that Shape Paste and I cover my fingertips
with it, this is just to mold my hair and place to the final product. So then I
just run my fingers through it and I kind of do it all over the place and
again I'm breaking my hair apart as I'm doing this, this is just to make sure
that the hair doesn't look as perfect since this is more of a casual everyday
type a hairstyle that I'm using on a daily basis. Alright guys and that's
basically it that's my new hairstyle, I've seen a lot of comments of you guys
wanted to know how I cut my hair, so hopefully this was helpful. If you
