How To Texturize Your Own Hair

[@stingburn]

The KZbin algorithm read my mind and sent me the answer to my bad layering questions. Also, you are an adorable couple.

[@justinhickox]

Awesome! I'm stoked I could help you out! And.....thank you! :)

[@Jenny-cj3we]

These videos are great. So informative and simple enough to understand, they gave me the confidence to cut my own hair at home and even shorter into a bob. Also him and his wife are so cute together and seem like really good people.

[@patriciaobrien7701]

Aside from comments on the stylist, advice etc.the salon is just lovely, clean, tidy, modern... So important, shows he cares about his clients.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I had a lot of fun designing this salon.

[@crystalconcrete7605]

First off I must say that I love your wife's laugh! Thank you for this video. It's going to be helpful for me because, usually when I go to a hairdresser, I try to just sit back and let them do what they do. Unfortunately, that has led to some very disappointing results. I'm just about to get my haircut again and, after watching some of your other videos, I have decided to get bangs and layers. I am quite nervous because of my previous experiences but my hair is fine, thinning, shapeless, and has so many split ends that it's growing shorter instead of longer so I really have no choice but to put myself in someone's hands. This video will help because I'll be able to watch what's being done and be able to comment on it before it's too late. I now have so many 'tips' to give the hairdresser that they'll probably be happy to see the back of me. LOL. Thank you to you both for empowering me.

[@justinhickox]

Lol! Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback! I’m glad I could help ya out. If you’ve ever thought about cutting your own hair....I actually have a free webinar where I talk about the most common mistakes people make with home hair and how to avoid them. There’s a link to join our next one in the description of this video if you want to jump on. Also, have you had a chance to check out my video on how to communicate better with your stylist?

@@justinhickox since I asked for trim back in 2016 and walked out with a shoulder length bob!...I have worn my hair long most of my life so.whenever it gets past bra straps...I chop some off.keep it one length with a few around the face layers...it is only at this crazy corona time when we all needed some sort of change.. I got carried away with layers.

This is great. I just got rid of a ton of bulk by doing a wolf cut on myself, but the layers are very choppy. Tomorrow I'm going to point cut them since I don't have texturizing shears.

[@preston234]

Dude thanks for the tips I wish I knew how to point cut back in beauty school but the technique was like at the bottom of the list of things to learn

[@justinhickox]

You're so welcome! Stoked I could help! You're spot on, I find a lot of schools are focused on (which to their defense, they need to be) teaching how to pass the boards that they don't focus on the more stylized aspects of hair. How long have you been behind the chair? I LOVE having stylists in this community!

[@kajun8561]

I love it lol! And perfect timing as always. I just gave myself a cut, fairly drastic (about 12"). Your tips really helped. This is, by far, the best cut I've done myself. I took some weight off the crown and fringed the rest from that in the front only. I'd still like to do some more texturing...so perfect video timing! Thank you for your understandable instructions. P.S. I just have the strongest feeling that you are trying to create a new hair cutting technique using ninja throwing stars lol! I know you're just the guy to pull it off. However, I'll not be volunteering for test subject any time soon 😂😁🤗

[@justinhickox]

LMAO! That would be hilarious. I have a feeling there will be a lot of hospital visits in the creation of that particular technique LOL thanks for the feedback. I’m so glad I could help like that.

Hi, Justin! If I wanted to take out just a little bulk at the bottom of my bob, at home, would you advise texturing shears on the very ends or point cutting? I don’t want to thin my sides, my hair is fine, I just want to take out a little bulk, as now it has more like a Christmas tree look.

[@JohnDoe-tb3rv]

Those two shears you showed us in this video are both thinning shears. If I can remember right from my Cosmetology school days, "Texturing Shears" have teeth on both blades and not just on one side like 'Thinning Shears'. Please tell me if I'm wrong - thks!

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

Beautiful wife, she reminds me of an English model called Kelly Brook. My hair is very thick and I asked for it to be thinned out but they over texturised the ends and I now look like a mushroom, that part about it just being that thicker part length is so right

I never knew there was a difference between texturizing sheers and thinning sheers. Wow good to know. Slide cutting is another technique right?

[@justinhickox]

Yes, absolutely slide cutting is another option. It's a bit more advanced and there's more (IMO) that can go wrong with it, so I recommend these techniques to start with typically. Great question though!

That’s a great question. I actually do have one product that is a wax I typically use to give hair texture after the hair is dry. Oddly enough I learned if I apply it to wet hair and then dry the hair it actually gives their some volume. I haven’t tried air drying it into hair yet so I’ll have to try that and see how that turns out and let you know.

[@1Hope4All]

Are 𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 shears better for curly hair as opposed to 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 shears? I heard that thinning shears should not be used on curly hair because it will cause more split ends.

[@zsazsak879]

Isn’t point cutting better for wavy or curly hair as thinning shears can cause the ends to fray out and frizz?

[@justinhickox]

That’s a great question! It depends on how you use the razor. For the most part you will be correct, however there are definitely ways to utilize the razor that will not strip the hair away into nothing and create the illusion of frizz.

If you look on Amazon, texturized scissors and thinning scissors are listed as the same thing even though I’m not asking for thinning. I can’t see the difference. I want a texture for thin fine hair. I didn’t see the difference your pointing out.

[@justinhickox]

This is a great question and to be honest, it’s probably a bit of my fault as well. Even in my description of this video I still refer to the texturizing shears that I use as “thinning shears“ because that’s what most People know them as. So while I was trying to make it easy for people, I think I’ve even added to the confusion. I’m going to change my descriptions from now on. With that said, if you look in the description to this video you’ll see a link to my favorite thinning shears, those are the texturizing shears that I use every day. I love them.
