alright guys so today's video we're
gonna cut a face frame we're gonna do it
with the center parting now if your
guest wears a side parting then you
would do this a little bit different I'm
gonna make a separate video for that so
this is based on a center symmetrical
shape that we're creating so I take the
center down center back parting and then
I take a diagonal forward parting from
that right to the hairline so and what I
do is I over direct that over to me
across the chair across the face and
what I'm doing is I'm cutting a line
almost parallel to that parting now if
you wanted a little bit more of an
extreme face frame then you could shift
your finger angle a little bit but the
biggest thing that I want you to focus
on is my elevation because I don't cut
this super low a lot of people hold it
nice and low and what that does is it
creates weight so just like in the back
if you go and you cut the back of the
head and you have a low elevation you
get a heavy shape so people don't think
about that in the front they always hold
the hair nice and low you want to hold
the hair nice and high that gives you a
nice kind of graduated shape in the
front as opposed to just real heavy
shape so you can see that how it curves
nice I just continue all the way down
the side until I run out of hair and
then you get your face frame now what
I'm gonna do is take a piece as my guide
and I'm gonna do the same exact thing on
the opposite side so that's why I say
this is a pretty simple technique as
long as you focus on your elevation and
your finger angle so notice my finger
angle isn't exactly parallel so I just
shift it a little bit that gives me a
little bit more of an extreme face frame
kind of wraps it around a little bit
more but at the same time you could go
parallel as well if you didn't want that
so I over direct it over keep my
elevation nice and high symmetrical on
both sides and then you get your end
result so notice my partings nice and
clean I'm taking about a half inch at a
time over across the face cutting it at
a stationary guide and I'm creating that
kind of wrap around the face so as I get
to the ear that's about when it starts
to run out of hair so if you wanted to
continue this haircut
you continue all the way through the
back if you want to you can leave the
layers nice and long you could go into
the back and also cut layers into the
back as well so this is more just for
the face frame we're not gonna do any
layering in the back I want to show it
to you guys dry so I'm using the Paul
Mitchell memory shaper this is from the
invisible wear category so I put that in
the hair it's got a nice soft hold to it
and then I use my Paul Mitchell turbo
Lite blow dryer to dry the hair and then
I use hot off the press from Paul
Mitchell which is a heat protectant just
to make sure I don't create any damage
to my guests obviously this is not a
real human but if it was I would use hot
off the press anyways and then that
gives me that smooth effect so at 80%
dry I use hot off the press and that
gives me kind of a smooth polish to
there and then when I go in with my Pro
Tools iron then I get that nice end
result so you can see here is our end
result nice face frame so I hope you
guys liked this cut let me know in the
comments I think this is a very
versatile technique that you'll be able
to use in the salon right away
thank you guys so much for watching this
video and I'll see you guys on the next
one thanks
