Our last post I talked about giving tips from our soon to be release debut dvd cutting blunt lines for texture on textured hair with minimal about of texturizing. Let’s keep it simple in keeping within the frame work of universal principle’s as it pertains to hair design. The blueprint for creating any haircut whether it be classic cut or creative disconnect consists of sectioning and parting. All hair design’s can be simplified into two types fo haircuts blunt or graduated/layered. When we don’t want a blunt haircut we pick the hair up . To created texture in cutting blunt lines we simply elevate the hair we take a section of hair in an upward manner with over direction moving it out of its natural fall position or keep it in its natural position . Creating a beautiful graduated airy effect as if you use a point cutting technique. This is why one must understand the principle of movement in order to take your basic classic structure haircuts and transform them into postmodern cuts that are wearable .We will take this concept a little deeper in understanding what foundational principles create movement as it relates to sectioning , overdirection and fingerpostion on the next post.

Paul-
Do you believe that stylists can get so caught up in the technicalities of hair that they neglect the basic design and concept of hair and most importantly, of the client. You do not address the issue of cutting and styling in lay terms. Would your clients understand what you are saying here? Most importantly, do you listen to them or impose your techniques of what you WANT them to have. In your next post, how about speaking to relating to your clients while using some of your techniques. That’s what I’d like to see your perspective on.

This article is not for the client it is for the salon professional . I talk of those terms you speak about on face book. It’s important that hairdressers know the how to’s in designing hair . Actually this is really basic stuff it is not deep at all. Plus I challenge my readers to ask questions so we can see the big picture. My agenda right now is not to address cutting and styling in lay terms it’s to reachout to those who have a passion to become better service providers for thier customers . Thank you for your response!
