How to do Cut Men’s Long Hair with Shears

This is a “how to” video on cutting Men’s long hair. It’s all about clean sectioning and control as you move around the head. It’s simple - but remember, simple is not easy. ;)
You can use this technique for curly hair, straight hair, or wavy hair. You can also use the technique with a shear, a clipper of comb and a razor.

There are 3 men’s stylists on KZbin who are the bomb! Yourself madam! mc barber! and regal gentleman! Thank you for the uploads.

[@AllenRayHair]

Thank you! 💙

Too much talking on Regal. Amanda is the best of all. Absolutely no ego. Highly skilled, friendly, and just gets on with it

[@jordanwalsh7323]

Rum barber do good tutorials also

[@TimelordUK]

@@jordanwalsh7323 if you like geometry and clients who don't mind sitting there for two hours while you trim their fringe in 30 sections. Rum Barber make the most basic cuts complicated.

[@saad0able]

there's one.. not 3.. i waited a long time for a men's long hair cut. and i looked everywhere. i knew the day amanda releases a vid it will be the one.. nothing touches this tutorial.. simple and ultra perfect, easy to follow even if u have 4 brain cells

[@Ralpheo]

This is the by far the best technique for cutting longer looser styles. There really is no need to put in to many sections.

[@RattyTheBarber]

Your videos are so clear it makes me feel confident I can do the haircuts correctly.🙏🏽

[@iamgregbach]

Your videos are truly fantastic to watch and I want you to know that you've taught me so much on technique, approach and your sectioning is next level. I love these videos and you are wonderful teacher!!!

[@AllenRayHair]

Wow, thank you! That's very kind of you.💙

[@grimfandango3743]

Hello Amanda, I am really enjoying watching your process and building the confidence to adopt it for my own clients. I wondered if you could explain more about thinking about hair in time as opposed to inches or centimetres? How did you determine how much to take off in the initial section? I have a greater sense of clarity and your pragmatic approach has really resonated with me. Thanks for your time 🙏🏻

[@AllenRayHair]

Oh good, glad to hear. Time is 1 month = .5 inches or 2 months = 1 in" When clients come in, you can usually tell how long it's been based on the roundness of the shape, around the ears, the sideburns, the nape area or the cleanness of the ends of their hair. These are all clues to help you determine. With that said, it does take some time to train your eye to how to determine it but it will come if you pay attention. For example, when someone uses a guard and it's been cut straight up the head with no shape, usually it will start looking bad in 2 weeks. If it's been tapered along the edges, usually it takes 3 weeks on short hair to need a cut again. When you start thinking in longevity, your clients should be able to go 4 weeks. It seems counterintuitive but no one will be able to create the haircuts you do and you'll develop a loyal following with great tips!

[@FarleySantiago]

Excelente técnica! Simples e objetiva. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Forte abraço Amanda 😄

[@sambyrne7542]

Fantastic video thank you , I struggle with my scissor work and when I see tutorials with lots of sectioning I get overwhelmed

[@AllenRayHair]

It's common. My best advice - SLOW DOWN. Practice on a mannequin without talking. Really create a strong foundation and it will feel normal after about 5 haircuts.

[@freehuman4931]

Hi Amanda, can you tell me what the background music is called please?

[@TimelordUK]

You are so amazing Amanda. You have real quality. Can I ask a question as a new barber? If the client wants actual length taking off the back and sides, would you section a horseshoe and then cut the perimeter around the back and sides, and then continue the cut as you show here?

[@AllenRayHair]

No, I never cut a perimeter on a man's haircut, maybe once it's past the shoulders. When you cut a perimeter, you put in a horizontal line which also creates maximum weight (0 degrees = maximum weight). What happens is you spend the rest of the haircut trying to remove that weight, which would also be a BOB (very feminine). SO! In men's hair specifically, you want to work on the interior of the haircut first, then if some of the hairs need to be cut off, do it second. BUT remember, the shorter you go and any horizontal lines you put into the haircut, you're redistributing weight where ever those horizontal lines are. To continue this a step further, vertical sections reduce the weight. This is a fundamental understanding I follow every time I look at a haircut - do I want to increase weight or reduce it? Based on the answer, I change the direction of the sectioning.

Muchas gracias Amanda, continua subiendo videos. Eres muy elegante. 🤩

[@judascastillo4793]

Sabes donde está su salón?

[@bkrendan12]

i would just suggest switching your body position and cutting position in the back center. This will make an uneven haircut for beginners if theyre circling the head and not changing anything about their body/arm/cutting position

[@opulentspirit1988]

Would this work for long completely straight hair too. My little boy has long straight hair and I need to trim it in the easiest way possible as it does like it cut. Thanks

[@user-hj1zd1og1d]

When you cut the bottom section of the horseshoe vertical like that, is that considered "square layering?"

[@AllenRayHair]

No, because square layering is literally creating a square. Since the head is round, that means you'll need to overdirect in 2 areas to create the square corners. I follow the head shape which creates more of a coke can shape if that makes sense? You can also think of it as a paper clip shape if you want to create more weight through the center back without creating corners.

[@TimelordUK]

Amanda, when I do this cut, to me the perimeter around the sides and back looks messy and uneven. How do I fix this?

[@AllenRayHair]

First, I cut in the vertical shape. If needed, I go through the ends to clean them up BUT never into the perimeter. The short you go, the more you'll redistribute the weight and create more weight along the edges. So usually I just point cut the very ends to even but not cut a horizontal line. If they have very wispy hair then you can create a bit more weight because of the weakness of the hair. Another way, you can go in through the bottom section (below the occipital bone), cut vertical sections at a steep angle to reduce weight and length to clean it up without creating a perimeter. I hope this helps.
