I’m so grateful for this! I can count on two hands the number of salons I’ve tried out where they’ve said, “Wow, your hair is soooo thick!”- if it sounds more like an exclamation of shock to than just a compliment, it’s a red flag. “Can you thin it out at the ends so I don’t have triangle hair,” I’ll ask at the beginning. It’s taken as a grain of salt. At the end of the appointment, they style it so that the bulk is hidden. But then later when I wash/dry my hair- ding dong baby, my head looks like a bell. I’d like not to spend 45-60 minutes styling every day just to disguise the weight (plus who has the time?) so I always touch up at home with my thinning shears (looks okay at first- until it grows out). I’m excited to try this out.
I get the same comments. I’ve even had them charge me extra for the amt of hair I have. Or tell me, “next time you call to make an appt, tell them you have a lot of hair so they block off double amt of time.”
OMG, this is exactly the sort of TLC I need. I've had nothing but a string of disasters from cheaper to high end stylists. I can only recall 2-3 cuts in my entire life that were great, and I think it has a lot to do with the thickness of my hair - some people are too shy and barely trim or shape it, others far too liberal and hack at it, leaving me with uneven, thick, shabby disasters.
I think this is exactly what I need. I’ve got thick coarse wavy hair and I hate having it layered because it’s only about shoulder length. My ends are impossible even with a fresh trim and the layers are visible because of my fuzzy ends. Sometimes I feel like the layers look like shelves.
I don’t think one can do this to their own hair. Have to save the video and show it to your stylist. Plus I have to have my hair cut dry after I blow dry it straighter. It is very curly and wavy.
This is absolutely the best technique for getting rid of weight that I've ever seen! This is exactly what I've been looking for, where have you been all my life?! I'm taking this video to my hairdresser the next time I go. Thank you!!! You have a new subscriber!
I have extremely thick hair, and I always say that I will walk out of the next hairdressers who tells me" you have very thick hair"! I'm 67 and have lived with it all my life and have never had any issues as long as it doesn't get cut too short. I wish all hairdressers could see this video!!!
Wonderful Marie I’m glad that this video was useful to you to get what she wanted after all of these years I would say to you that next time you have your haircut there would be no harm in showing your hairdresser I myself like to see pictures and videos of my clients would like to achieve
I think clients with very thick density just want to have some movement and not end up with a puffy pyramid shape. I much prefer cutting very dense hair, vs low density or super fine hair. I use THIS method all the time and I have clients who tell me, "You're the only one who knows how to cut my hair." I found that hard to believe, yet, now I see people on these threads saying it, too. his cuts and education videos are great. I've picked up so many tips I can use.
Thank you, oh thank you so much for showing us this! There I was scouring the entire UA-cam and not a single person showed a proper technique for reducing volume of the hair. I am now fairly confident to attempt this on my little girl’s home hair cut, thanks to you.
I am not an official stylist but I’ve loved this little trick for doing quick touch ups on myself in between cuts. I am a guy and I have such annoyingly thick hair. In the States, I’ve heard this technique referred to as “slithering.” ❤️ your content !!!
I’ve got the puffy triangle from hell that I can’t do anything with and it’s barely long enough to tie back. My kids are calling me Karen 😱I’m in Devon so as much as I’d like to come to Brighton for a cut it’s a little out of my way! Can you recommend a stylist in this neck of the woods that could do for my mop what you’ve done is this video? Thanks
I feel your pain...💛thick hair is a curse & a blessing at the same time!! my daughters both have thick hair but the texture is fine, I have thick hair but the texture is course!
Mary Wall - I’m in San Diego, CA & I just send these videos to my salon guy if I see a new cut or fix!! Maybe you can do same & your pouffy 🔺 area will be fixed!! 🤞🏼 Good luck🍀
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I practiced it and was able to finally use it on a new client and she absolutely loved it! You're the best!
thank you again for this video; how can I get my fresh speaking hairdresser to do this technique on my hair? as I have thick coarse hair, I'm always given layered haircuts, but now I have a bob with short hair on top and longer hair under, and I don't think I really like it My head always ends up looking like the shape of a triangle when it grows out... the result is lovely.
Thank you for giving me a great idea on cutting my clients with thick hair. I’ve tried layering and it just doesn’t work without spending more time with the blending shares to blend the layers. ❤
Unfortunately, every hairdresser I go to is unable or scared or idk what to thin out my hair so they just straighten it until it's dead, then I go home, wash it and I look like a mop. Thanks for this video. I straightened my hair so I am able to cut (it curls immediately when it's wet) it and thinned out the lower layers, now the weight around my neck is gone.
Glad you like the look of it Sasha maybe you should show this video to your hairdresser then they can replicate it on your hair just thought best James
This is different to layering right? Because I've got quite a thick hair and whenever I want to get rid of some weight on the salon the only option they offer me is to have layers and I hate the look of it when they grow out sometimes causing fly aways which I Hate.
This could have been the back of my head, the exact color and texture. I always have a flat top and triangle hair unless I straighten or curl intentionally which is not doable on a daily basis. I just cut my bangs and will try that now. Very carefully at first. I'm excited and hope I'll to tell you the result.
I had a hairdresser in my home town that did channel cutting. It was the only thing that ever worked on my (very, very thick) hair. Now that I’ve moved to different cities and have scoured the world for someone who does this. No one, cheap or expensive, seems to understand the need to do this to thick hair.
I don't understand why most hair dressers do not know how to thin out course thick hair without layering or using shears which really doesn't do much. Don't know what they learn in hairdressing courses. I'm not a hairdresser yet I know this is the way to do it even before i saw your video. I'm taking this video with me next time i go to a hair dresser.
Superb James 👍 sooo Excited to try this technique! I use a similar technique but going Up the hair, it's called "whiting " I'm sure you've heard of it. It's something I learnt from Paul Mitchell education classes😊 but this looks amazing 👍 stay safe all of you and thanks James 🙏
I love the principle behind the technique. People are terrified of most thinning techniques. I'm growing my pixie out and cos hair is thick, I follow what the hairdesser was doing before lockdown. She was quite simply removing chu n ks with texturising scissors - and this made my growing haystack of hair lie more lovingly around my head. I think I may have overdone it slightly now, but not sure what to leave and what to attack as I head from short pixie to a very short bob (my current status). Any videos for this type of thing, growing hair down in a pretty way? X
Yes I can imagine your scenario quite clearly a very common one in fact going out to pick it can be very very difficult, I will try and come and drop some sort of video for growing out her shapes but I would imagine it won’t be massively do similar to this video that you’ve just watched in the sense that this technique really does help the hair slim down as it grows out overdoing it is the worst thing that you can do in a lot of ways unfortunately because instead of slimming the hair down it creates lots of shorthairs that then make the hair look bigger rather than slimmer 👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair Well, just applied this slicing technique to the bulging effect on my growing out fringe - which can look like ears, lol, if you can imagine that! Anyway, brilliant. Looks much better than it did when i tried to reduce bulk with my texturising shears. Sitting very nicely now. Thanks.
James I've watched this video twice now. I can't wait to give it a go. Do you think this would also work on curly thick hair or can you suggest some other cutting/thinning technique. Thanks for all your videos!
Hi Julie wonderful stuff yes this is a great technique on my absolute faves for removing density in bulk in long and short hair it does work very well on curly hair you just have to be a little bit more careful about how you go about it you need to make sure the hair isn’t a good tension there are no loose curls because you will cut my hair off very short if you allow her to sit naturally so you need to calm her down and attention and cut down the Hair client I would recommend leaving probably 1 1/2 cm spacings in between each of the sections that you cut to allow for a little more a little less weight to be removed
I ask my hairdresser to take the weight out of my bob so it can lie closer to my head especially at the bottom where it starts to make my overall head shape look like a triangle. Unfortunately he cut away my bob and left me with a completely different hairstyle. I'm frustrated that he didn't know how to thin out my hair yet keep my style. I think I will take your video to another stylist and ask them could they do this for me. It's too awkward to show to my current stylist because he'll probably think I'm correcting him. He just went overboard and kept cutting til I had no length left. I thought maybe it isn't possible to do what I asked but I can see from your video that it is, and I feel hopeful. Thank you!
Well I’m ever so please sparkle box that this video has inspired confidence that you can have what you want and why not take this video to a stylist I am never offended when people show me videos pictures images allsorts of things to convey what they want because at the end of the day they don’t know the technical terminology because they’re not a hairdresser so visual descriptions such as this are absolutely vital and actually make my job easier.
@@TheLifeOfHair Thanks so much. I actually shared a video with my hairdresser but yours is much clearer and closer to what I was trying to explain so thanks for your reply .. it helps to hear this. 🤗
Ok but....(I have same question for people who use thinking scissors very close to the root) It’s been texturised from pretty much the top. And it always looks good straight after and even few weeks after. But how is it going to look after few months, when hair start growing and getting tad longer? It will start sticking out? Because would be impossible to texture exact sections next time 🤔
I totally appreciate what you’re saying they’re this can be problematic if the channels of hair that you are removing are too chunky the channels simply want to be super fine maybe one or two hairs in wits as you go down the head that is why we are travelling with the grain in terms of it growing out very much grows out like your natural hair might if you’re going through the natural growth process Allergen, Telogen, Calligan. I’ve been doing this technique for many many years and never had any serious problems with it you just have to be super diligent about travelling with the hair straight down the natural fall
thank you, I am going to try this on myself because every time I tell a hairdresser to thin out my thick hair to look soft and wavy, it never ends up looking like this.
For YEARS I’ve been unable to find and stylist that can do this on my hair. I have thick hair and live in a very humid climate. No matter the type of cut my hair is always too heavy. Is there a way to search for stylists in my area that have this skill set?
Fantastic Christina I’m glad you can see this working for you isn’t it great when you see something that you think that is exactly what I need for this client 😁👍🏻
I like this cut, but she only has about 1/3 as much hair as I do! I would like to go back to a bob. On top of having about 5 times most people's hair, I have wavy texture underneath and straight on top of that. What should I tell a stylist? I'd like to be able to have waves on some days and straight others. I have gone so far as to have the back cut pixie style underneath my hair. I always get it thinned out. I'm not exaggerating. I also like pushing my hair away from my face for styling, rather than hanging down each side. I prefer some wispy bangs, because my forehead I'd high and straight thick bangs look too severe. Love some recommendations. Thanks.
Can I use this technique on straight hair instead of the curly one showed in the video since my hair is naturally straight a lil bit wavy at the bottom due to the bulk. also, will this reduce my hair volume permanantly as im growing it out since the hairs which are already been cut won't be as the same length as the others!?
Now I know why my hair is frizzy when braided. I have to tell the hairdresser not to thin my hair all the time. It does not grow out seamlessly. Have had to go down to a pixie to grow out again because eventually it is a frizz fest. Slithering is the term I know this technique as. It was great for awhile.
Hi! Do you have any recommendations for salons that use this technique in NE London? In the US I usually have success in Latinx salons, but I'm a bit lost here. This is the technique I'm used to (or very similar types) and it's the only thing that makes my hair manageable.
i'm doing a hairdressing exam i'm studying children's hair a 10-year-old model with bob for drying without music and regular speed would it be possible?
Question! How does this cut grow out? I’d love healthy long hair so I chopped off my dry bits. I need a style that won’t damage my ends? Does anyone know if this is ok for ends?
This goes out really well actually I use it all the time in the salon with absolutely no issues you just have to be very careful not to move too much hair and in terms of the ends of your hair well absolute has zero impact on the ends apart from that reduces some of the bulk
I’m so grateful for this! I can count on two hands the number of salons I’ve tried out where they’ve said, “Wow, your hair is soooo thick!”- if it sounds more like an exclamation of shock to than just a compliment, it’s a red flag. “Can you thin it out at the ends so I don’t have triangle hair,” I’ll ask at the beginning.

Wow I'm going to do this as my hair is a short bob and so so thick so it looks like a mop. Thank you
I have the same issue. Not sure if I'm brave enough to try it on myself!
Did you try? I look like a mushroom cap 🙄
Exactly how I'm looking right now😂😂
OMG, this is exactly the sort of TLC I need. I've had nothing but a string of disasters from cheaper to high end stylists.

OMG! Totally feel your pain... been there have had that done as well! 😱
Same girl

Wow, such a unique way of cutting thick hair! I thought it was brilliant😊
Glad you enjoyed it thank you very much for your comment
First time I have seen this after watching many clips. This may be just what I need.thanks
Wonderful M Gee I hope it ticks your boxes
Just what i needed for haircuts inspo next Monday, thank you!
As a client I can say this technique is fabulous. I first had it done in Japan. I have extremely thick, straight hair.
thank you again for this video; how can I get my fresh speaking hairdresser to do this technique on my hair? as I have thick coarse hair, I'm always given layered haircuts, but now I have a bob with short hair on top and longer hair under, and I don't think I really like it My head always ends up looking like the shape of a triangle when it grows out... the result is lovely.
I guess you could send in the video and then maybe someone could translate it for him ???
It workeddd! I never thought id have thin hair hahaha now its easy to achieve blunt bobs
Wonderful yes this is a superb technique for very thick hair glad you had some success with it
This is so amazing thank you for this! My daughter has such think hair and can’t wait to do this on her!
Thank you for giving me a great idea on cutting my clients with thick hair. I’ve tried layering and it just doesn’t work without spending more time with the blending shares to blend the layers. ❤

Im not a hair cutter but this is how i cut my hair cos i have thin n big curly hair , looks good to me ,n salon lady cant do it for me,👌
Glad you like the look of it Sasha maybe you should show this video to your hairdresser then they can replicate it on your hair just thought best James
How do you cut your own hair perfectly?
This is different to layering right? Because I've got quite a thick hair and whenever I want to get rid of some weight on the salon the only option they offer me is to have layers and I hate the look of it when they grow out sometimes causing fly aways which I Hate.
Yes this is different layers it doesn’t create that flicky fly away look at layers do as you describe😁👍🏻
I use channel cutting on my male clients that have thick hair. It gives the look of texture beautifully.
Yes absolutely Kate works beautifully on the mend and all short haircuts with very thick texture
Great for my thick hair - thank you so much for showing how it can be done!
This could have been the back of my head, the exact color and texture.
I always have a flat top and triangle hair unless I straighten or curl intentionally which is not doable on a daily basis. I just cut my bangs and will try that now. Very carefully at first. I'm excited and hope I'll to tell you the result.
Oh my, this is genius! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wonderful Les glad you enjoyed it
Love your channel..I’m not a hairdresser but I am interested on different styles and different cuts. Your so innovative ..
Oh that is wonderful to hear I’m always delighted when Dan hairdressers like the channel thank you for your comment
I’ve done this with my razor lots. But now I’m going to have to try this out. Thx

lovely result! wondering if this technique would work for a pixie on really thick hair?
Wonderful yes this technique works on all lengths of her just follow the same principles of this particular video
I usually thin with a razor but will try this nxt time
Yeah definitely give it a go it’s similar to raise a cutting but you can get a little bit closer to the scalp and you can with a razor I find 😁👍🏻
Was hoping to see how it looks like when dry & not yet curled.
I will do another episode on this particular haircut very soon so keep your eyes peeled for that I’m going to try and do a straight version
I've been doing this to my own hair for about 15 years. I won't let anyone touch my hair. And I do it every 4 to 5 months as a trim.
Thank you for sharing this technique!! I was wondering if you do this with using the way they part their hair .
Simply stellar work. What a great looking cut.
Thank you very much

a very detailed drying video only would be possible I am doing school and would like to learn well how to dry bob
I cut a bob on my self yesterday and it turned out perfect, only thing is that it looks heavy on the ends. I need to thin it out
wow absolutely amazing technique..
Wonderful glad you enjoyed it
Omg thank you. This saved my thick hair.
Absolutely brilliant 👏

👍👏👏👏👏bravo super technique ✨✨I think it’s really the best one and really hair looks gentle and naturally thin
Thank you so much knowledge is power I don’t thin hair like that but will start
Thanks!!!!... can’t wait to do this!!..(did you use some sort of cutting lotion??)..😊✌️❤️
You are very welcome Stuart. I generally use a light leaving protein spray from pureology called miracle filler 😁👍🏻
👍✂️I what you did but the top Is not appear thicker than the middle ❓
Sorry could you rewrite that question I didn’t really understand what you meant 😁👍🏻
Where’s the before picture?
Thank you so so much for a very clear and detailed explanation❣ It did wonders on my thick hair🥰
Can I do this with thinning shears? Thank you
Yes 😁👍🏻
Omg, don't do it! Thinning shears are the worst!
Brilliant technique thanks so much.
For YEARS I’ve been unable to find and stylist that can do this on my hair. I have thick hair and live in a very humid climate. No matter the type of cut my hair is always too heavy. Is there a way to search for stylists in my area that have this skill set?
Hello, Can you recommend the shears you were using in the video or something similar? Thanks!
Its fantastic tutorail bob hair really so beautifull hair cut stay safe stay tuned new friend 💕💕👍♥️
James, James, James...🤯
I have a cpl clients that this will be perfect for...if we ever get to go back to to work in the salon!
Fantastic Christina I’m glad you can see this working for you isn’t it great when you see something that you think that is exactly what I need for this client 😁👍🏻
Is this cutting technique possible to do with the hair dry and flat ironed first, instead of having the hair wet?
Thank you I really needed that!
VIDEO STARTS @ 2:19
YOU'RE WELCOME
During lockdown catching up on all your videos great content and clear instructions thankyou so much always learning 😁👍
Fantastic Grace so pleased that you’ve been joyed them and they’ve killed some of the downtime in lockdown 😁👍🏻
Hi! Could I use this technique if the hair is already layered ?
Yes you could do that I do that quite a lot
Wow ! Nice cut 🙌🏼 can be done by razor ??!
Yes you can do this with a razor it’s called Penning 👍🏻

Thank you very much
Thank you so much 🙏🏼💕
You are very welcome
How does this technique work on thick curly hair ?
Love those plants!!!
They can’t real believe it or not We used to have real plants in there but they died all the time ✌🏻😁
The Life Of Hair amazing...they look so real! Still pretty!!
Wish you had shown the end result!
Wow this is a breakthrough,nicely done
Nice technique 👌 thank you
Superb thank you glad you liked it
I like this cut, but she only has about 1/3 as much hair as I do! I would like to go back to a bob. On top of having about 5 times most people's hair, I have wavy texture underneath and straight on top of that. What should I tell a stylist? I'd like to be able to have waves on some days and straight others.
I have gone so far as to have the back cut pixie style underneath my hair.
I always get it thinned out.
I'm not exaggerating. I also like pushing my hair away from my face for styling, rather than hanging down each side. I prefer some wispy bangs, because my forehead I'd high and straight thick bangs look too severe.
Love some recommendations. Thanks.
Is this only for bob cuts? Or for any type of haircut?
You can use it on longer have I have a video that is titled in visible layers you can see how to do it on the
Great video 👍 James liked and shared
Thank you very much Toni much appreciated
Do we do same with wavy hair ?
I have coarse hair - maybe the texture is the reason I had issues with frizz?
Can I use this technique on straight hair instead of the curly one showed in the video since my hair is naturally straight a lil bit wavy at the bottom due to the bulk. also, will this reduce my hair volume permanantly as im growing it out since the hairs which are already been cut won't be as the same length as the others!?
Yes you can absolutely use this technique and straight hair in fact it probably works its best or straight hair
Now I know why my hair is frizzy when braided. I have to tell the hairdresser not to thin my hair all the time. It does not grow out seamlessly. Have had to go down to a pixie to grow out again because eventually it is a frizz fest. Slithering is the term I know this technique as. It was great for awhile.
Nice technical cutting ❤😊
Hi! Do you have any recommendations for salons that use this technique in NE London? In the US I usually have success in Latinx salons, but I'm a bit lost here. This is the technique I'm used to (or very similar types) and it's the only thing that makes my hair manageable.
Did he use thinning shears or regular?
Would you only do this with wet or dry hair?
do you recommend this technique on thick curly hair?
Happy Wednesday Dave!!!!!!! Watched the commercials all the way and I'm ready to watch the vid.
Thank you very much very helpful of you to watch the commercials 😁✌🏻
It does indeed look very very scary. (I use Rusk texture shears and cutting techniques for bulk removal. Just makes me more comfortable🤗)
This is exactly what I need trying to find someone like this in Bristol is impossible
i'm doing a hairdressing exam i'm studying children's hair a 10-year-old model with bob for drying without music and regular speed would it be possible?
If I get such a thing to video then I will do it for you no dramas
@@TheLifeOfHair
I have to do a short exam on a young model. I would need this video that I asked you a lot
@@TheLifeOfHair video dry bob?
Would it work for a pixie bob? I am afraid if the hair is to short it might stick out.
Question! How does this cut grow out? I’d love healthy long hair so I chopped off my dry bits. I need a style that won’t damage my ends? Does anyone know if this is ok for ends?
This goes out really well actually I use it all the time in the salon with absolutely no issues you just have to be very careful not to move too much hair and in terms of the ends of your hair well absolute has zero impact on the ends apart from that reduces some of the bulk
