ScissorBoy Brand Hair Scissors present the Upside Down Haircut!

Today we bring you Stas Mikhailov from Metamorphosis Salon in San Francisco and his AWESOME technique for an Upside Down Haircut. This gives your clients a fresh new look for the New Year and reinvents your hair cutting techniques. Sounds impossible? Not at all! In this technique, only the clients head is upside down, not you, so headstands are unnecessary. Combining a blend of texturing with overdirecting hair, will create length where you need it. To top it of, create a contour line around the head as the finishing touch. Use any tools you want when using this technique, but we recommend using a pair of thinning shears or a razors.

The end result, is a haircut that grows out beautifully and is very manageable.

Texturizing Hair With Thinning Hair Shears is a great way of completing an otherwise unfinished haircut.

Emmanuel, a Master Stylist from Atelier Emmanuel Hair Salon in San Francisco, California shows how Fixing Layers with Texturizing using thinning shears can add life to a haircut.

To achieve this look, Emmanuel recommends you texturize at different angles (flat, angled, straight into the hair) using what he calls the Piquetage Technique. Use thinning shears to blend layers and create better flow. Check out the video again to see the correct angle he recommends to prevent cutting of too much hair and to see this technique in action. Piquetage should be used at the roots to give lift to the hair. The end effect is shorter hairs supporting the longer hair.

To finish off the cut, Emmanuel demonstrates a Finger Texture technique. Laying hair can create problems, and placing your fingers correctly on the hair helps to prevent that. If a problem does arise, you can fix layer issues with texturing techniques using thinning shears, razors and/or hair shears. Be sure to carefully watch everything that you are doing, as sight is just as important as technique while styling.

My stylist said so and highly did not recommend it.

What was your experience with thinning shears like?
And if you get your hair thinned out will it still look good if you airdry your hair?
(also please say what your hair is like)
Oh by the way I’ve already gotten layers and they didn’t really help..

It will make your hair more poofy and you will look like you have a fro. You want layers! Layers is the only way to remove weight from your hair. Thinning shears are only used for certain hair and normally fine hair to add some body and it needs to be blown dried to make it look best. I have a feeling since yours is poofy and frizzy then it is probably pretty damaged and you have done way too much to your hair. Remember, Thinning shears=bad for your hair. Layers= Awesome, you will feel so much better.

If you do have a lot of damage then go to sally’s and ask them to get you a packet of APHogee 2 step keratin strengthening treatment. it’s like $3.50 and it works so many wonders. Read the directions 4 times before you do it, very important. Also get the miracle 7 spray (the shampoo and conditioner are good too) from Sally’s and use it in your hair everyday after you wash and it really helps with frizzy, damage, heat protector, color protector…. ect.

Good luck
