Now here’s a great technique for very thick hair where you want to extract weight or if you want to create a sense of looseness inside or a sense of pliability. Let’s come in and take a section. You determine how high you want to take the section based upon the density of the hair. We’re going to come up just above the round of the head. Release that top area. I suggest you do this primarily underneath. Take a vertical section. Elevate horizontally the section. And we are simply just going to come through with our blending shear. Now I am going to come in close at and angle with my blending shear. Close to the scalp, slide out, release. Now look where I am at now. I came about mid-shaft, slide out and release. Now look where I’m at, towards the ends, mid-shaft and release. So I am just slicing and sliding my blending shear. Let’s take a look at it one more time. Coming through. Remember now that texture’s all visual and feel. Elevation horizontal, coming in at a slight angle. What’s cool about this angle is that I am cutting short to long bits inside but each time I’m moving my blade out so I’m creating a diagonal, a longer diagonal, an even longer diagonal and you can see how I’m extracting the weight. Coming in diagonally, slide out, slide out, slide out. It gives the hair a nice sense of looseness and it extracts weight. Great for that straight hair that needs that sense of pliability to it. And that’s sliding or slicing with the blending shear.
