Same. I have a phone interview in a couple of hours and I have no idea why I got here. Also not trying to become a hair stylist OR have my hair cut like this.
but I still don't know what the dog ear effect looks like. it wasn't pointed out. I didn't even get to. compare it myself. he rotated the head t too fast.
Mannequin heads don't usually have prominent ears so its difficult to show him tucking the hair back, but its basically the added weight/bulk that occurs from over-directing the hair too much, around too many 'corners' as he was saying. That type of over-directing would result in cutting a bit less hair so it results in a line which appears less clean. Edit: You can click the settings on the video and change the speed if that helps see it better also :)
Yeah, I definitely agree with you; he needs to take more time explaining it, and return to the original problem to show how it was corrected. I just wanted to try and help explain it a bit XD
Captain Fangirl well there needs to be some kind of explanation for those who don't know so they know what they need to k ow before they see their hair dresser
Because it's captivating, lol! I feel like I can cut a bob now! Only the best scissors I have are for fabric and paper, my combs are from the dollar store and I don't even own a blowdryer 🤣
The reason to spend more on a blow dryer: 'I would recommend an expensive blow dryer, it dries hair similarly as any other blow dryer but I really like this blow dryer'
He didn't say he recommended it. He said, it's definitely an expensive hair dryer, it dries similar to other dryers but he likes it, and he recommends good scissors over an expensive hair dryer.
I trained as a hairdresser over 20 years ago, and I wish you had been my mentor/trainer. You explain very well, and your cutting skills are on point. Keep up the good work! 😘 xxx
You might want to do drawings on paper indicating more clearly what you mean, because I'm not gettin' this, and I wonder how many others need more help too.
If you looked at both sides, the one with a traveling guide was smooth and properly cut the first time. There was an obvious bump and irregularity in the first side he cut.
Gwen Ap Mannanan the commenter obviously understands the difference between the doggy ear look and the preferred bob (it's obviously shown in the video) but the problem is the guy explained a clock method of cutting and that per isn't visual, it would be nice if the camera was shown looking down at the head of hair so we can see the way he splits the hair according to his visual clock in his mind
Mele Paasi, "obviously"? There's nothing obvious in "what you mean" and "I'm not gettin' this". What "you mean" with what? What is "this" the person isn't getting? "This" could be the whole video and downbntout doesn't get anything. Or it could be the thing JazminMarieee is talking about, it could be the thing Gwen is talking about, it could be what you are talking about, or something else. IT'S NOT MATT WHO NEEDS TO BE MORE CLEAR, IT'S DOWNBNTOUT. Also, Matt said "if you have questions, ask them in the comments. "I'm not getting this, you aren't clear enough" is not a question, and it's really difficult to try to figure out what is it the person needs help with. I got everything he said, even though I am not a hairdresser. MY HUSBAND GOT EVERYTHING HE SAID, and he's not a hairdresser either, or especially interested in hairdos, and he's extremely visual thinker. MATT EVEN SHOWED WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT! It couldn't be any clearer if drawn on paper! So, no, I don't think Matt needs to be more clear, and I don't think you should go around laughing at people who do their best to help even when the help and clarification is asked in a very muddled manner. There's nothing obvious in Downbntout's comment, except that he/she doesn't "get this". Maybe Downbntout would need to draw on paper what he/she means and think hard about what he/she doesn't understand, and THEN ASK THAT. In a polite manner without demands and putting the blame of misunderstanding on someone else.
Thank you for these videos because by u doing these cuts different ways it helps u to really understand what ur doing instead of just cutting to be cutting. U get an in depth understanding that u don't get in cosmetology school!
Mannequins always have nicer hair because it’s sewn in to an exact science. So, if you were to look at the “root” area on the mannequin you would see that the hair comes through in little bundles, several hairs coming out of one hole, like a Barbie doll on a larger scale. And it has to be uniform in thickness and weight throughout the head. Our heads, on the other hand aren’t perfect, because they’re natural. But that’s a good thing. If you had hair like that mannequin people would say, “nice wig”.

To the people who don't get the "dog ear effect". At 9:09-9:10 he circles his finger around the "dog ear effect". You can stop the video and see if you notice anything different to at 9:11 when he shows with his finger and then his whole hand the line on the other side of the hair. You can go back and forth as many times as you need. It's pretty clear.
Ketutar Jensen I have curly hair and wear it bobbed. Today’s stylists just don’t know how to cut curly hair anymore... or do they have a clue how to dry it! I want to show stylists this this video! Coz they give the dog ears all the time & it’s super annoying. Thanks for making this video!
Hey all, just wanted to note for those that may not understand when he says the term 'dog ear'... it's when the sides of your hair that fall over your ear area are too thick/ heavy, causing the overall outline of your hair to look like a beagle, or some other long-eared dog. Lol I always called it the Christmas Tree Effect but it's all the same. Your hair looks weighted down at the bottom, too flat up top. Hope this description helps. 💗
I never knew there was a name for this!!! I had a Bob once and whenever I tried styling my hair it never looked right, I always thought it was just the way my hair was but now I know it was the person who cuts my hair!!!
I get it. For those who dont know. In a graduated bob the line should be a solid diagonal going down towards the front. Not a bob and then suddenly gets long. (Like a flappy dog ear hanging down) this \ not --\/
I'm having trouble telling the difference, but I did have a stylist refuse to color my hair towards the ends in front of my face because she didn't want it to dog ear. I still don't know what dog ear means.
Look behind the ear at the end results of the video. The dog eared version has a bulk behind the ear, slightly sticking out breaking the even line, or more the even texture of the cut. When you look at the other side there is no such thing, the line is even in texture everywhere. Hope this helps.
i have no idea why a stylist wouldn't colour all your head ? it doesn't have anything to do with causing or stopping dog ear effect ??? and I've been a stylist/salon owner for over 25 yrs .... never heard that one before ... maybe i don't understand what you mean ...
I'm a new stylist and I can't tell you how many times I've tried to figure out why my angled bobs looked like that. You're incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. It helps immensely 💜
This was so fascinating. I moved tow years ago from my fabulous hair stylist who always always always gave me perfect a-line bobs and lobs. The new hair stylists I've found seems to struggle with my cut. I never knew it was called a "dog ear" but that is absolutely what happens to my hair half the time she's done it. The" good" side you did is what i use to always get, and the "bad" side is what I end up with now. She's young, and has some talent and I love her as a person, but my hair just can't with her anymore. Gotta try to find a new person!
OMG!!! That style of bob is exactly the style I've been trying unsuccessfully to get since I was in my mid-20s. Every time I go in and ask for it from hairstylists, they can't seem to get it, and I've never found a satisfactory photo until now. Thank you!!!!
If your client has thick hair, she'll be back in 3 weeks to get rid of the dog ears no matter how great you cut the hair the first time. (Speaking from a client's perspective only)
not if its done properly and thinned and textured . she will be back when its time for a new cut. And some styles need upkeep sooner then others. That's why its so important to Learn these things to be the best stylist u can be ....but that takes time and wanting to learn ...I've been a stylist 25 yrs and seen some at 30 yrs and they still do basic strait cuts with no texture or anything ..... I'm so happy to see these videos out because many schools only teach the basics ....and everything else you learn when you apprentice and from other stylists ....and if you don't get placed with a good stylist when you apprentice it really can affect your career ...
Kittenpurrrs whenLoved every time I go in for a cut after 6 weeks they ask why the previous stylist didn't thin it. I just have crazy thick hair. The stylists are often surprised at just how thick my hair is
Mary Hines maybe they need to not only thin near the ends and go farther up the hair shaft ?....so it doesn't grow back in 6 weeks and get confused with just textured ends? .....or your not being thinned out properly ....we usually don't go to past half way cuz short hair has more spring to it and if u cut too close to the scalp you have it sticking up out of the hair that's laying flat which can be frustrating to always see peices of hair sticking out looking like its breakage ....but if your thinned out good we don't have to do it every 6 weeks cuz hair only grows a little over a cm each month ....OR you have such thick hair that even your thinned hair to a different stylist feels thick lol....I've seen thick hair where the amount of hair on the head is A LOT and also the hair itself is thick and has what's called a medulla inside ...not everyone has that ....and it can be very springy so have to be careful not to thin to close to the scalp but you can if you have a style that needs to stick up and it works great for them styles....I've also seen clients who's hair is soooooo thick that you actually have to go in and cut very thin full strip sections along the hair right down to the scalp to take out bulk and the other hair can lay flatter over top......and this takes up keep obviously and can be drastic looking if they make the line too thick and your hair moves and the longer hair covering it WILL show but it sure takes out bulk if your hair is THAT thick that you need this drastic measure ..... ALSO washing your hair with only cold water helps the cuticle stay flat and apear thinner and the type of products make a big difference.There are many shampoos and other products out now that are for thick hair.Rinsing with apple cider vinegar helps some ppl too. I would never use bleach on extreamly thick hair either.Bleach swells the cuticle making it thicker.I'd stick with only colour if my client wanted a change.This is all just what I'd do as I stylist ...we all have our own ideas and opinions and thats what makes all of us our own "artist" and have the clientele we do and how much we should charge.My cuts start at 100.00 and I will refuse to do something a client may want if I know it won't look good or it will cause damage. My clients are walking advertisements of my work.I care about the health of the hair and if it makes me lose money by putting bleach on very thick hair knowing it will only make it even more less manageable then so be it.lol. I'd let my client find a stylist that doesn't care or would take the time to consult.Clients come to me for my professional advice and that's what they get no matter how much I need to explain to them why I won't do something.This usually earns their respect and makes them realize i really take my profession seriously.So if a stylist isn't thinning your hair enough you should really tell them.It also helps to find one good stylist you trust and stick with them.The more they do your hair the better they learn your hair. Your so lucky to have thick hair .....some ppl don't feel they are, but when you see someone with thin hair crying cuz they can't hide thin spots ughh it breaks my heart. Sorry if this comment is so long ..lol..just had so much to say 😊 and am chatty today.So used to talking from 8 am to 9pm with clients and I'm off today hahhaa. Good luck with your thick hair.And i hope you feel Lucky and beautiful to have it.xo
I have shoulder length hair and they do have to thin it a lot. To the point that it looks like they cut 6 inches off. I do only go to the beauty college so I can afford trims every 6 weeks and perhaps they're being conservative. When I had a short cut (like in the video), I was back every four weeks to get rid of the dog ears because the back grew way faster than the front. I've had my hair colored, cut, and permed by students and NEVER left unhappy though Also, it's -30 sometimes (with windchill). I can rinse with lukewarm water at best. I do only wash 2x a week unless I style my hair with a lot of product so it's certainly not as damaging as your every day/every other day washers. My usual style is an updo of some variety because I wear a hair net all day. On another note, my hair doesn't hold color or heat styles well. When I curl my hair, I have to set the curling iron up to 300 degrees and hair spray the crap out of my head to get the curl to hold for more than 5 minutes. It takes me around 1hr to curl my entire head (lots of hair). Am I the only person who struggles with this?
well ...you can cut the basic style ....but there's still work that goes into this if your a good stylist ....like point cutting , slide cutting thinning etc ....that's how me make it our own and so the client has movement and flow when they move their head .....cuz every head of hair is different .... so just doing this basic cut across style would be ok but not great ..... kinda like when ppl cut bangs at home and then wonder why they are heavy and don't sit right or wispy and soft and blended lol
I am an artist with a keen interest in hair. I've learned to cut my own hair by watching and learning from youtube videos. I 'll watch this again and again to understand what makes for a more precise angled bob, which is my haircut style. Thanks for the instructions.
I feel like you are the Bob Ross of hair cutting videos. I have no reason to be watching this, but I can't turn away. LOL. You have more energy than Bob, but you make it look like any of us (who aren't even cosmetologists) could cut this style.
Great video ...I've been a stylist/salon owner over 25 yrs ....and when i took my course i wish they taught more then the basics ...but thank god i was in a great salon to apprentice and learnt so many techniques .... I dont know what they learn now in the course but i hope they show videos like yours. Great job too 👍so professional
I like this “deconstructing the haircut” teaching approach! As a newly licensed cosmetologist, it is so educational to actually see the difference! It’s one thing to realize that your haircut didn’t have the hoped-for result, but to SEE specifically what happened and what you need to do if you want to change the outcome is so instructive! Thank you! Hoping for more! Maybe how to avoid those holes that can happen in front on layered haircuts!?
I like the back and right side of the mannequin head but I love how the left side look from the front view because it is longer and has more hair. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter has been rocking a short bob haircut for several months now. Its been cut professionally three times, but in between each cut she and I have cut it together. I know the basics about haircuttung: section, clipping, and how to cut layers.This shows me how to do it much better. Only difference is she likes a flatter angle with shorter length in front.
I really enjoy your videos and teaching style. if I may suggest one thing? could you slow down just a bit when you disect the cut? show us exactly what you're doing at least once before continuing to breeze through the cut
xMourningStar I'm a hair stylist-- dog ear effect is when the front is longer and less shapely than the back. It gives the appearance of just hanging there and has no real smooth transition. It looks extra heavy and guests never know what to do with it since it literally just hangs. That's why it's important to use the traveling guide for most a-lines to get a more seamless transition.
I love the way you cutting the hair.also I'm willing to learn more about new cutting of hair style from you Bob. thanks for your effort to show your knowledge in over the world. keep up the good works .proud of you
To the ones who don't understand the clock thing, he started with the back of the head, right? So that's like 6 o'clock; the bottom of the clock. The left ear is like 9 o'clock; to the left. 12 o'clock is the front of the head, and the right ear would be 3 o'clock...unless I'm seriously bad at explaining things... Really like these videos! I'm not a hairstylist but was thinking about going to school to be one for a while until I realized my asthma is so bad, I couldn't handle the chemicals. 😓 Still like testing things out on myself,tho, lol. Anyway, thx for doing this! They're super great!
You make this cut look so easy. It’s almost impossible to find anyone where I live that can do this. I’ve worn a variation of this cut for the past 6-7 years. Do you have any advice to help me - help my stylist achieve this cut so that it lays right and isn’t so heavy and thick? Love watching you.
So I went from Dementia Village to Ireland, to how to avoid dog ear hair. I don’t cut hair nor do I particularly enjoy getting my hair cut. And I watched the whole thing lol Relaxing video. I liked it lol
"The dog ear affect" I always thought was when ladies want really graduated "stacked bobs" almost disconnected bobs. (Think of that Victoria Beckham really dramatic bob that was really popular a couple years ago) In the nape it's really really tight and on the sides and top it's really long, and depending on the persons density and texture if you leave too much weight on the sides or the person doesn't have a nice round head shape. It can be very unflattering especially if the front and sides are kept dramatically longer/heavier when the client turns their head the sides just hang and flop around like a flappy eared dog ...
Wow. This made me excited to cut hair again. I havent done a haircut in a month, I've done maybe one cut a month for the last year, maybe even less than that. Got my cert in 2002, so I kind of burnt out on the old salon grind. I love the actual physical doing hair part, and interacting with the wonderful guests, but I'm glad to be rid of the drama, snarkiness, and full on ninja level bitchery of working in high end salons. Thanks for a rad vid, guy!
Such a bulky corner on the left side. Thank you very much for creating these simple videos for stylists of every level to understand and thus create beautiful hair
شرح رائع للقصة والجميل إنه يطبقها على رأس هذه الدميه .. الرجل واضح أنه محترم ويشرح بطريقة مبسطه وسهله ومتقنه اللهم بارك. .. شكرا لأنك تساعدنا في تعلم قص الشعر شكرا لأنك تحب الخير ومساعدة الناس بتعليمهم ما ينفعهم
I would be interested in your opinion, perhaps a tutorial on cutting, paying attention to the shear blades, the bevel edge and the effect on the hair edges as far as hair direction and movement. Thank You, Your tutorials are well done, informative and appreciated!
Great work! I always wind up with those ears LOL. I have the Vibra Straight flat iron for years it’s my holy grail! I thought I was the only one… It’s not one that gets a lot of AirPlay. I’m glad to hear that a professional like you loves it.
I remember this haircut being drilled into my head 😂 I have never given so many angled bob haircuts in my life until Rihanna & Victoria Beckham both had them. I knew a girl who couldn’t grasp the dog ear concept & id try to help her but she thought the hair looked fine & id cringe seeing her clients leave. This is still such a fun cut to do
Beautiful...thank you! Sometimes when I would try using a traveling guide I would end up with the hair too short in the dog ear section. I think your exsample explained the guidelines very well. When I spend more on a blow dryer it doesnt last any longer, but they are nice to have!
I am supposed to be studying for three tests tomorrow yet I somehow watched this entire video...I don't even think about becoming a hair stylist...

Jackson jackson It's not meant for non-hairdressers. It's not their fault it ended up in everyone's recommendations.
I don't even cut hair why am I watching this entire video lol
I know. Me too?! This guy is just such a good teacher. Makes it interesting.
Lmao, me either & I despise bobs.
Because it's captivating, lol! I feel like I can cut a bob now! Only the best scissors I have are for fabric and paper, my combs are from the dollar store and I don't even own a blowdryer 🤣

The reason to spend more on a blow dryer: 'I would recommend an expensive blow dryer, it dries hair similarly as any other blow dryer but I really like this blow dryer'
csenge varkonyi that's not what he said. Or am I misunderstanding you?
He never said he recommends an expensive blow dryer.
He says it at 8:13
He didn't say he recommended it. He said, it's definitely an expensive hair dryer, it dries similar to other dryers but he likes it, and he recommends good scissors over an expensive hair dryer.

I trained as a hairdresser over 20 years ago, and I wish you had been my mentor/trainer. You explain very well, and your cutting skills are on point. Keep up the good work! 😘 xxx
I was wondering why this was recommended to me then I realized it's because I watch dog grooming videos and I guess UA-cam thinks this is one lol
Btw I can see the difference between the sides...and I'm a dog groomer. So I guess some people just shouldn't be cutting hair....
+Claire Scott VERY VERY True! Thanks for watching
same here jajajaja

You might want to do drawings on paper indicating more clearly what you mean, because I'm not gettin' this, and I wonder how many others need more help too.

Was anyone else hella confused when he started talking about clocks or was it just me lmao 😅
Summer Benefield bahahahaha ✋✋✋
yes! the whole clock thing i get but, he should have given a visual
The face is "12:00 O'Clock", and work your way around. If it is like a clock, then 3 and 9 would be around each of the ears, I s'pose.
Me too very confusing
Summer Benefield I don't know what he's talking about dog ears we all hate .
this mannequin has nicer hair than me
.... ikr?!! 😕
Michelle Xie could cut your hair short than it will grow back healthy
Mannequins always have nicer hair because it’s sewn in to an exact science.

I'm a new stylist and I can't tell you how many times I've tried to figure out why my angled bobs looked like that. You're incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. It helps immensely 💜
You are very talented......and can cut so quickly and accurately......I love it. Keep the lessons coming. Hugs Anita
This was so fascinating. I moved tow years ago from my fabulous hair stylist who always always always gave me perfect a-line bobs and lobs. The new hair stylists I've found seems to struggle with my cut. I never knew it was called a "dog ear" but that is absolutely what happens to my hair half the time she's done it. The" good" side you did is what i use to always get, and the "bad" side is what I end up with now. She's young, and has some talent and I love her as a person, but my hair just can't with her anymore. Gotta try to find a new person!
oh come on, give her a chance, "she young" and gonna be much appreciate if u go easy on her, 10.000 hours rule is real
such a detailed look at the role of overdirection !! great work as usual Matt!!!
I think this guy is brilliant! Love the haircut and his commentary!
I'm definitely not in the audience these videos are aimed for, but it's pretty cool seeing this stuff up close. Now I gotta watch more of these.
OMG!!! That style of bob is exactly the style I've been trying unsuccessfully to get since I was in my mid-20s. Every time I go in and ask for it from hairstylists, they can't seem to get it, and I've never found a satisfactory photo until now. Thank you!!!!
I wish I could find a hairdresser who could cut that accurately! Nice video. :)
I really don't have much interest in this but I must say the quality in this video blew me away, so well made
Luv the way your so dedicated to showing people how to cut the right much appreciate you 👍🏻👍🏻☝🏻
If your client has thick hair, she'll be back in 3 weeks to get rid of the dog ears no matter how great you cut the hair the first time. (Speaking from a client's perspective only)
not if its done properly and thinned and textured . she will be back when its time for a new cut. And some styles need upkeep sooner then others. That's why its so important to Learn these things to be the best stylist u can be ....but that takes time and wanting to learn ...I've been a stylist 25 yrs and seen some at 30 yrs and they still do basic strait cuts with no texture or anything ..... I'm so happy to see these videos out because many schools only teach the basics ....and everything else you learn when you apprentice and from other stylists ....and if you don't get placed with a good stylist when you apprentice it really can affect your career ...
Kittenpurrrs whenLoved every time I go in for a cut after 6 weeks they ask why the previous stylist didn't thin it. I just have crazy thick hair. The stylists are often surprised at just how thick my hair is
Mary Hines maybe they need to not only thin near the ends and go farther up the hair shaft ?....so it doesn't grow back in 6 weeks and get confused with just textured ends? .....or your not being thinned out properly ....we usually don't go to past half way cuz short hair has more spring to it and if u cut too close to the scalp you have it sticking up out of the hair that's laying flat which can be frustrating to always see peices of hair sticking out looking like its breakage ....but if your thinned out good we don't have to do it every 6 weeks cuz hair only grows a little over a cm each month ....OR you have such thick hair that even your thinned hair to a different stylist feels thick lol....I've seen thick hair where the amount of hair on the head is A LOT and also the hair itself is thick and has what's called a medulla inside ...not everyone has that ....and it can be very springy so have to be careful not to thin to close to the scalp but you can if you have a style that needs to stick up and it works great for them styles....I've also seen clients who's hair is soooooo thick that you actually have to go in and cut very thin full strip sections along the hair right down to the scalp to take out bulk and the other hair can lay flatter over top......and this takes up keep obviously and can be drastic looking if they make the line too thick and your hair moves and the longer hair covering it WILL show but it sure takes out bulk if your hair is THAT thick that you need this drastic measure ..... ALSO washing your hair with only cold water helps the cuticle stay flat and apear thinner and the type of products make a big difference.There are many shampoos and other products out now that are for thick hair.Rinsing with apple cider vinegar helps some ppl too. I would never use bleach on extreamly thick hair either.Bleach swells the cuticle making it thicker.I'd stick with only colour if my client wanted a change.This is all just what I'd do as I stylist ...we all have our own ideas and opinions and thats what makes all of us our own "artist" and have the clientele we do and how much we should charge.My cuts start at 100.00 and I will refuse to do something a client may want if I know it won't look good or it will cause damage. My clients are walking advertisements of my work.I care about the health of the hair and if it makes me lose money by putting bleach on very thick hair knowing it will only make it even more less manageable then so be it.lol. I'd let my client find a stylist that doesn't care or would take the time to consult.Clients come to me for my professional advice and that's what they get no matter how much I need to explain to them why I won't do something.This usually earns their respect and makes them realize i really take my profession seriously.So if a stylist isn't thinning your hair enough you should really tell them.It also helps to find one good stylist you trust and stick with them.The more they do your hair the better they learn your hair. Your so lucky to have thick hair .....some ppl don't feel they are, but when you see someone with thin hair crying cuz they can't hide thin spots ughh it breaks my heart. Sorry if this comment is so long ..lol..just had so much to say 😊 and am chatty today.So used to talking from 8 am to 9pm with clients and I'm off today hahhaa. Good luck with your thick hair.And i hope you feel Lucky and beautiful to have it.xo
I have shoulder length hair and they do have to thin it a lot. To the point that it looks like they cut 6 inches off. I do only go to the beauty college so I can afford trims every 6 weeks and perhaps they're being conservative.
When I had a short cut (like in the video), I was back every four weeks to get rid of the dog ears because the back grew way faster than the front.
I've had my hair colored, cut, and permed by students and NEVER left unhappy though
Also, it's -30 sometimes (with windchill). I can rinse with lukewarm water at best. I do only wash 2x a week unless I style my hair with a lot of product so it's certainly not as damaging as your every day/every other day washers. My usual style is an updo of some variety because I wear a hair net all day.
On another note, my hair doesn't hold color or heat styles well. When I curl my hair, I have to set the curling iron up to 300 degrees and hair spray the crap out of my head to get the curl to hold for more than 5 minutes. It takes me around 1hr to curl my entire head (lots of hair). Am I the only person who struggles with this?
What are dog ears?
I feel like the saturation thing works better for just straight haired people. When my hair gets wet, it starts to get wavy.
cool, never watched a hair cutting video before but I reckon this guy is great, pretty sure I can cut this style now lol
BEC MORAN Are you using a lace wig for this. Loved it? Please advise
Rhonda Cook, I think you might have replied to the wrong person..
BEC MORAN
well ...you can cut the basic style ....but there's still work that goes into this if your a good stylist ....like point cutting , slide cutting thinning etc ....that's how me make it our own and so the client has movement and flow when they move their head .....cuz every head of hair is different .... so just doing this basic cut across style would be ok but not great ..... kinda like when ppl cut bangs at home and then wonder why they are heavy and don't sit right or wispy and soft and blended lol
very nice haircut
I am an artist with a keen interest in hair. I've learned to cut my own hair by watching and learning from youtube videos. I 'll watch this again and again to understand what makes for a more precise angled bob, which is my haircut style. Thanks for the instructions.
It's a pleasure to watch you work... :-) Thank you!
That was a super awesome demo. Very clear difference between the two
Brilliant as always, best explanation of the two techniques
Very good! the hairdresser who cut my hair should watch this! she might learn how to cut hair!!!!
It's ART , Beautiful ❤️
I feel like you are the Bob Ross of hair cutting videos. I have no reason to be watching this, but I can't turn away. LOL. You have more energy than Bob, but you make it look like any of us (who aren't even cosmetologists) could cut this style.
Great video ...I've been a stylist/salon owner over 25 yrs ....and when i took my course i wish they taught more then the basics ...but thank god i was in a great salon to apprentice and learnt so many techniques .... I dont know what they learn now in the course but i hope they show videos like yours. Great job too 👍so professional
I like this “deconstructing the haircut” teaching approach! As a newly licensed cosmetologist, it is so educational to actually see the difference! It’s one thing to realize that your haircut didn’t have the hoped-for result, but to SEE specifically what happened and what you need to do if you want to change the outcome is so instructive! Thank you! Hoping for more! Maybe how to avoid those holes that can happen in front on layered haircuts!?
You show the EASIEST way I've seen to cut an A Line bob. These cuts have always been difficult for me. Now I get it! Practice is all now.
awesome suggestions for this hair cut. i think this is one of the most difficult haircuts but has the best WOW when its done!
I like the back and right side of the mannequin head but I love how the left side look from the front view because it is longer and has more hair. Thanks for sharing.
When he flicks the scissors like Edward Scissorhands😍😍😍😍
That clock analogy had me like 😮🤔😐
My daughter has been rocking a short bob haircut for several months now. Its been cut professionally three times, but in between each cut she and I have cut it together. I know the basics about haircuttung: section, clipping, and how to cut layers.This shows me how to do it much better. Only difference is she likes a flatter angle with shorter length in front.
I really enjoy your videos and teaching style. if I may suggest one thing? could you slow down just a bit when you disect the cut? show us exactly what you're doing at least once before continuing to breeze through the cut
great cut! you made it simple and easy! thanks for taking the time to show us these things! very, very helpful, keep it coming!
I am not a stylist nor do I care for the bob cut, but I still clicked on this because your title was quite captivating. Good job picking the title
I feel like I'm in school everyday I get on UA-cam and watch my class.
Thank you .
I swear you are the best at breaking down shit
Still have NO idea what a dog ear effect is.
Apparently it's what my hairdressers call the mushroom effect? Thick on the bottom, and normal on top.
xMourningStar I'm a hair stylist-- dog ear effect is when the front is longer and less shapely than the back. It gives the appearance of just hanging there and has no real smooth transition. It looks extra heavy and guests never know what to do with it since it literally just hangs. That's why it's important to use the traveling guide for most a-lines to get a more seamless transition.
Wow, are you good! You're the best hairdresser I've seen yet!
I’ve never been so interested in a video in my life😂😂😂
I enjoyed your teaching style. Looking forward to more videos.
Your attention to detail in your haircuts is rather amazing and in order to thank you I have ordered the try razor
I love the way you cutting the hair.also I'm willing to learn more about new cutting of hair style from you Bob.
thanks for your effort to show your knowledge in over the world.
keep up the good works .proud of you
To the ones who don't understand the clock thing, he started with the back of the head, right? So that's like 6 o'clock; the bottom of the clock. The left ear is like 9 o'clock; to the left. 12 o'clock is the front of the head, and the right ear would be 3 o'clock...unless I'm seriously bad at explaining things...
Really like these videos! I'm not a hairstylist but was thinking about going to school to be one for a while until I realized my asthma is so bad, I couldn't handle the chemicals. 😓 Still like testing things out on myself,tho, lol. Anyway, thx for doing this! They're super great!
thanks again for your expertise! nobody shares like you do! thanks again!
great work Matt, always admirers your work
making it look magical. love it.
What a great Educator!
I've never watched any hair cutting video, i justed ended up here somehow.. But you explain everything so well its kinda cool
You make this cut look so easy. It’s almost impossible to find anyone where I live that can do this. I’ve worn a variation of this cut for the past 6-7 years. Do you have any advice to help me - help my stylist achieve this cut so that it lays right and isn’t so heavy and thick? Love watching you.
So I went from Dementia Village to Ireland, to how to avoid dog ear hair. I don’t cut hair nor do I particularly enjoy getting my hair cut. And I watched the whole thing lol
Relaxing video. I liked it lol
"The dog ear affect" I always thought was when ladies want really graduated "stacked bobs" almost disconnected bobs. (Think of that Victoria Beckham really dramatic bob that was really popular a couple years ago) In the nape it's really really tight and on the sides and top it's really long, and depending on the persons density and texture if you leave too much weight on the sides or the person doesn't have a nice round head shape. It can be very unflattering especially if the front and sides are kept dramatically longer/heavier when the client turns their head the sides just hang and flop around like a flappy eared dog ...
Wow. This made me excited to cut hair again. I havent done a haircut in a month, I've done maybe one cut a month for the last year, maybe even less than that. Got my cert in 2002, so I kind of burnt out on the old salon grind. I love the actual physical doing hair part, and interacting with the wonderful guests, but I'm glad to be rid of the drama, snarkiness, and full on ninja level bitchery of working in high end salons. Thanks for a rad vid, guy!
Loved this comparison! Now I know why that happens and how to avoid it....thank you so much!
Im bald and very much NOT a hairstylist - still I enjoyed this. Watching ppl be padsionatet is calming
Such a bulky corner on the left side. Thank you very much for creating these simple videos for stylists of every level to understand and thus create beautiful hair
I love your video ! Iv been hairdressing for 14 years , I have a Dyson hair dryer and I love it. I would never go back to the old hairdryers ! X
This was a great comparison and visual! Thank you!
Matt as usual a Great INFORMATIVE Tutorial Video,
Thank you!!
شرح رائع للقصة والجميل إنه يطبقها على رأس هذه الدميه .. الرجل واضح أنه محترم ويشرح بطريقة مبسطه وسهله ومتقنه اللهم بارك. .. شكرا لأنك تساعدنا في تعلم قص الشعر شكرا لأنك تحب الخير ومساعدة الناس بتعليمهم ما ينفعهم
I would be interested in your opinion, perhaps a tutorial on cutting, paying attention to the shear blades, the bevel edge and the effect on the hair edges as far as hair direction and movement. Thank You, Your tutorials are well done, informative and appreciated!
Wow how did this pop up on my YT feed exactly when this is exactly what I need in order to solve my haircut problem? Will send this to my barber.
Well done! Loved the technique, and the break down!!! So nice!
Great work! I always wind up with those ears LOL. I have the Vibra Straight flat iron for years it’s my holy grail! I thought I was the only one… It’s not one that gets a lot of AirPlay. I’m glad to hear that a professional like you loves it.
She looks very happy with her new cut ;)
you're an awesome teacher. thanks for the video. xo
I’m not a hair dresser but I bought some $50 scissors and used this video to cut my own hair. I got a ton of compliments!
Going to try both techniques today! Super helpful!!
I remember this haircut being drilled into my head 😂 I have never given so many angled bob haircuts in my life until Rihanna & Victoria Beckham both had them. I knew a girl who couldn’t grasp the dog ear concept & id try to help her but she thought the hair looked fine & id cringe seeing her clients leave. This is still such a fun cut to do
Thanks for sharing your skills! I’m not a professional but you make it really easy to understand. :)
I just cut this Bob at my local salon! Love to see how you cut it.
Wow! What a difference! Thank you for this!
Loved this. Not sure why we see so many dog-ear haircuts in the real world - the 'traveling guide' side looked so much better!
Great video! Greater teacher! 😋 I had to read some comments to understand the "clock" application. Great idea.
Beautiful explanation..... great teacher!
you make it look so easy, great job .
omg
the clock reference just blew my mind
Oh Matt.....you are everything 😍😍😍
Beautiful...thank you! Sometimes when I would try using a traveling guide I would end up with the hair too short in the dog ear section. I think your exsample explained the guidelines very well. When I spend more on a blow dryer it doesnt last any longer, but they are nice to have!
Fantastic Tech!!!! Love that addressed the "dog ear" weight on the sides . Cheers from San Diego City.
I have no Idea why I'm watching this? :3 I make chinese food for a living.
+Ernest Pierce haha!
Very helpful!! I'll definitely be doing this the next time I have to do this cut.
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing from Italy!
