Painting is a freehand technique – think about sketching with a pencil, this is all about ‘sketching-in’ texture. This technique is great for those with really straight hair that complain about lack of volume and movement.

Paint With A Razor Technique

• Mist section of dry hair with Redken shine flash 02 glistening mist to give hair a little slip.
• Comb through section to release tangles.
• Hold the Sam Villa Signature Series Razor/Straight with Guard vertically and make a ‘sketching motion’ into the section where weight should be removed.
• To take out more weight – sketch across in a crosshatch diagonally pattern.
• Rake hands through the section to see the shape start to collapse and gain movement.
• Use a lightweight motion as if painting with a paintbrush, but get as aggressive as needed to take the weight out.
• Control how much hair is taken out by the angle of the blade.
• This technique is best done on dry hair to better determine the amount of hair being removed. It is also not suggested for naturally curly hair.
