Where to Texturize Bobs and Layers

- Deciding where to texturize bobs and layers is more logical than you may think but many times, we don't texturize where the weight actually lives and could potentially cause new problems within the haircut! Follow these two quick tips to help determine where the weight lives and how to address it at the root of the problem.

Finally my ideas are real. I’m not a hair stylist but I do know my hair! I’ve been trying to explain this to my hairstylist for the past few cuts but they don’t like to be told how to cut hair. Please help me to know how Can a client tell the stylist to do this without upsetting them???
I totally feel u, that's what I'm facing too... so sad, don't hairstylist ever watch these good lessons to enhance themselves..?
I know what you mean. I got the "Rachel hair cut" back in 90's.. Loved it..they used shears, and hair razor..never had another haircut like the "Rachel" since..I don't want to insult my hairdresser..and she won't use the hair blade, to soften the layers
Same here. They don’t get it!!!
Lifesaver: I just got a haircut and the hairdresser/stylist didn’t do a good job thinning out the bulk of my hair. So I’m going to use this technique to balance myself out
Same girl same. I gotta takes matters into my own hands again
It is basic but as someone with thicker hair that asks stylists to remove weight, you would be surprised at how many just hack away in the back with regular scissors and use blending shears to go all away around the outside. Or they just take little point cuts off the bottom. Yikes.
Unfortunately, you are correct... this isn't something hairdressers are taught in detail within basic schooling. It's one of the most common mistakes we see in classes we teach.
Agree
I’m so glad I found this video because my hairdresser doesn’t seem to know this technique and instead she uses regular scissors and point cuts the ends. Question - do get it fixed do I need to let my hair grow out a bit or can it be fixed without sacrificing length?
I agree. I asked to have hair thinned and she just told me no. It looks better thick I Hate it. All this hair.
@@emsie5000 Girl, never let your stylist tell you how you should wear YOUR hair(unless it's truly damaging than listen), but if they say no, move on or tell them to do it anyway. Smh... bullies 😤
Thank you soo much, exactly what I needed to know! I have just cut my hair from long to layered shorter at the back bop and realized I have so much hair and weight sudenly so wanted to releave it. After long search have found you guys and thank you soo much! On it now:)
Andrew, you do a great job explaining techniques. I’ve been doing hair for 40 yrs, been to countless classes and sometime leave thinking what did I just see?? I always get at least one tip I can utilize, but you break it down in a way I can really bring back to the chair. Thank you!
Thank you so much Beverly! That makes me so happy to hear. And cheers to you for continuing to learn after 40 years in the industry... that shows a lot of passion and humility :-) - Andrew
I'm not a hairdresser at all. Though with being quarantined, I'm unable to get to my stylist. I'm learning lots, so I can get the bulk down. It makes me so hot. Thank you!!!
Brene Style I’m here for the same reason lol
Miss Jess same! Lol
Me too for my little girls. They want their haircut and I’m like...um. Okay CZcams let’s do this!
Thank you for the video! These are great tips :)
Thanks !! Just had this hair cut today! The client had so much hair! And I can’t believe how much I had to just keep cutting away to blend. I did long layers and elevated the hair, but should have not even attempted it! She did like it, but the density was overwhelming! I point cut all the way through thinking it was even too thick for thinning shears. I didn’t want to damage the hair. It was flat ironed , and soft with loads of curl after wetter down.
Hey Tosha... sounds like a challenging head of hair! But it also sounds like you were able to make her happy in the end... congrats on that!
I have thick hair and I know when a hair dresser is going to semi get things right because before they go into anything like this they completely flat iron my hair first. In very small sections.Wash, make basic cut wet, blow dry and flat iron and then do the texture or layers. Even then sometimes it's not perfect and after a few hours I need to trim a bit myself. But I expect that at this point.
Maybe an undercut?
Love how Andrew explains the different techniques!! 😃😃👍👍👍👍
Growing out a pixie is hell! Your tips are life saving. Thank you so much.
LOL... so glad to hear that Ashley. Hope your grow out is a little easier after some of our vids :-)
Sam Villa Hair Tutorials it absolutely is thank you.
That’s where I’m at right now! Post chemo curls 😭
SOS! I Love your videos! I have thick curly hair and unfortunately i have lost all the curl from about halfway down my hair due to the over texturizing. I realized after watching this and a couple other videos whats happened to my lost curls.. but how do I go forward from here?. I can't Just wash and wear anymore. I've already had quite a bit of length taken off because of this issue. And I would like to keep it. Any advice?
Oh my goodness...so wish I watched this video sooner! I’ve had long layered hair for years. My stylist wanted me to go with an all one length bob/lob. I kept telling her my hair is so thick and that I didn’t think it would look good...well she finally talked me into it and now here we are in quarantine and I have to live with it. I have VERY thick hair. I am not happy with it at all. Since I have naturally wavy/curly hair, I’ve just been wearing it natural and not straightening it. It’s terrible straight. So much bulk in the ends! I’m thinking of trying another stylist and sending her this video.
I feel ur pain! I, too, have very thick, coars hair w/some curl to it. I have been asking stylists to do this for years as the way to remove weight ... they either don't understand or cant be bothered to listen to what I want cuz they end up giving me layers that look like shelves ... I end up with a hack job EVERY SINGLE TIME. Then I go into hibernation for the next 6-8 months while I wait for it to grow out and try all over again.
Are you me? Lol
I have the same problem, in my case my mother is a hairstylist and cuts my hair, but always layers, she says because of the weight. But I have a photo of me and on the back of my had it is just so flat and then everything just hangs in bulk, even with curls., well I dislike that picture and stoped my mother cutting my hair. But no hairstylist in sight, but i Will remove some bulk by myself, because she says with that thinning scissor it is a bad idea.
The four of us should get together and cut each other’s hair. We all understand the frustration
@@CellaBella241 Same! I think hairdressers are so programmed to think that everyone wants thicker hair that they never put any learning into what to do when hair is too thick. It's frustrating.
How do I reverse my thinned hair, the ends of my hair was thinned and I hate it I want thicker hair and just my thickness in general.
Will u do a curly bob/wedge tutorial. Didn't find one if you've done it already
Awesome video love the tips
Hello. Thanks so much for your "lessons".
Where can I find instructions/ technique how to layer the top and front as to give it height and fullness WITHOUT shortening the top/forehead/front length?
May be I can send a photo of what I mean.
Thank you so much.
Great instruction. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m not a hairdresser but this makes sense. I wish the hairdresser I go to would use this technique…
Love your videos Andrew. Could you show how to cut curly hair? I live in Japan and here they do wonders with straight hair, but when they see my curly hair, the only answer I receive is that I need to straighten it.
Since we're all about learning here, hopefully they won't mind if I share another haircutting educator's CZcams channel.
MAKSIM NIKITOCHKIN does great tutorials (czcams.com/users/Maksymskisor ), and he covers curly hair (czcams.com/users/Maksymskisor/search?query=curly+hair ). His videos have no talking, just cool electronic music, and the footage is sped up in most parts, only slowing down to demonstrate key techniques.
Hey Raquel,
There are some "expat" salons out there that specialize in other textures... might be worth looking into. Many times you find them around military bases. That being said, we do have some curly videos coming up soon!
We don't mind at all! We've shared a few of his posts on our social media... Maksim is an inspiring hairdresser!
Thanks, Sam. :)
brilliant, excellent explanation ty!
Very good knowledge Mr Andrew thanks v much
Thank you Jay!
How can I tell this to my hairdresser to do the same to my hair without me being weird and polite about it? Everytime I go there for a haircut its always the same. Volume at the mids-ends and with frizz I cannot do much without heat...
I'm glad to hear you want to be cautious in your approach with your hairdresser... sometimes people can get easily offended and feel like they are being told what to do. We actually have plans to do a video talking about how to approach these conversations with your hairdresser :-) In the meantime... what we suggest is an approach like this... "I was watching some CZcams videos and I came across a video that made me wonder if it might work for my hair. Could I send it to you to get your opinion on it?"
This allows them to still feel that you trust them and their skillset to make the best recommendation for your hair. Hope that helps
I have a client that has very curly hair below the occipital region .. so it wants to stack out after styling .. it’s straight on top and sides.. should I razor it.. thinning shears or just notch it to make it lay better with her bob cut..
I have fine hair but a lot of it and alot of it is at the bottom. This is so helpful.
Excellent! Thank you!!
Can you or have you done videos using texturing vs thinning shears on naturally curly thick hair? Often times, stylists razor through similarly to your instructions above and I end up with even frizzier hair afterward. The texturizing scissors are what works best to thin the sides of my shag which tends to grow out in a bell shape if the stylist doesn’t know what she/he is doing and thins too high up.
Thanks.

Greay practical advise as always
Thank you
GREAT video
Thank you very good hint it works great😉
Glad you like it Michelle
great video 💜💕💛💕💙
Sam the best!
Yes true texture scissors break the line when citing layer make layer look natural softly layer any layer
Could you cut a bad manikin... something like a complaint. It you hear often and then show how to fix it? Like “shelf cuts” in a layered bob.....how do we fix this without going back to the stylist who did it in the first place or another stylist you don’t know only to find that person made it worse? Obviously, I’m writing as a person who has been in the situation,
Totally makes sense!!!!!🦋🥃🥃🥃
Thanks Tanya! Glad it helped you out :-)
Super informative
Thank you my friend 😎👊
Thank you for making it okay to not follow the same pattern for every head. I'm a big fan of cutting for the individual and how their hair behaves.
You are so welcome!

So true hairdressers always seem to start from the top you still have the weight but your hair is shorter. That's not what I really want so difficult to get this over I don't want to teach them their job but....
Was it appropriate for a "stylist" to do this to my fine hair?
Nice
The old methods are the best!
I felt like it was a waste of a visit to a "professional hair stylist" because he told be he couldn't thin out or remove the heavy bulk of my hair unless it was in layers. I had gone for a long bob 😑.
Anyone in Madrid can recommend a stylist that does this? Thanks!
Hi there! Search for a Redken stylist in your area!
Hi I m Nadia from Pakistan. I want to asked a question that here in Pakistan we wet hair before cutting,but in your video you didn't wet hair
He's detailing and showing how to remove weight. When the hair is wet, you can't see where there is bulk as the hair is weighed down by water.
Hey Nadia!
Lisa's comment is correct. We suggest that texturizing and detailing in haircuts should be done dry so that you can see the end result immediately.
Thanks Lisa... your spot on girl!
@@samvillahair thanks for the reply. Allah pak bless you ever.😊😊
@@ldub4ever thanx alot
Love short bob, I can't find someone who can do a good job in my hair. I need this, texturized a lot but they dont doit even if tell them. I have very thin hair but a lot in my head!! A lot specially behind ears and but the Time they finish it looks somehow good. But when i get home i look lime a mario bros 🍄 i just want less hair!!!
LOL same here. So frustrating!!! I’ve been putting my hair half up cuz I can’t stand the mushroom/Karen shape.
I can't wait til my thinning shears come
Wish u would have showed it finished close up
Thank you for the feedback!
It would of been better if you showed us how to do it on that wig.
I wish my hairdresser understood these basics. I did this myself and she told me off 😂

My stylist went through my entire hair with thinning sheers, now I have no hair and hate it. I will never cut my hair again
Oh no! This saddens me! There are so many amazing, educated, and talented stylists out there. Please reach out to us and we can help put you in touch with a stylist who can help!
Thank you for your support!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....i'm KILLING myself laughing because THIS is expectation and reality is I just tried this with $20 thinning shears and took a MASSIVE chunk out of my hair!!! Ok....i'm laughing NOW but I wasn't when it happened like 20min ago.
wait how’d you manage to do that?? lol
Jamais faire ça.....
I hate all this "softening" the bulk thing. It always makes a good thick hair lifeless and static and flyaway. Blunt cutting at many different levels and angles does the job better, preserves the thickness and beauty of the hair and deals with bulk.
this time me only first view
Will you cut my hair please? Where r u 😎
Where are you located? I want you to cut my hair.
