Flow Pixie Haircut
In the latest video, I dive into the art of creating a stylish and modern pixie haircut with a curtain fringe disconnection. This look isn’t your typical basic haircut; it combines both advanced techniques like disconnection with foundational skills, making it an excellent opportunity for stylists at all levels to learn and refine their craft.
The Tools You Need
The tool of choice for this haircut is the Evo Razor Pro, a custom-designed razor by Free Salon Education. This razor, made from a durable zinc alloy, is designed with ergonomics in mind, offering a perfect balance and grip that mimics the feel of a scissor. Whether you're cutting with feather blades or the proprietary Evo blades, this tool allows for precise, controlled cutting, especially when working with short hair.
The Technique
Starting with the fringe, the key is to create a soft, fringy look by gliding the razor gently down the hair, gradually softening the pressure towards the ends. This technique ensures that the hair transitions smoothly from a tight line at the head to a soft, textured edge at the bottom. By working in diagonal back sections and cross-checking with diagonal forward sections, you can maintain consistency while allowing for creative freedom in shaping the hair.
As you move towards the back of the head, it's crucial to build a bit of weight around the occipital bone area. This prevents the back from looking too flat and adds dimension to the overall shape. The method here involves shifting from a high elevation, which layers the hair, to a lower elevation as you approach the weight line, ensuring a smooth transition and balanced silhouette.
Creative Freedom with the Razor
One of the standout features of using the Evo Razor Pro is the ability to create soft, textured layers with ease. Unlike scissors, which can leave blunt lines, the razor allows for in-and-out movement that results in a softer finish, ideal for a more natural and lived-in look. The razor is also perfect for removing weight without compromising the shape, especially in shorter haircuts where precision and texture are key.
Final Touches
After cutting, styling plays a significant role in bringing the haircut to life. A great product for short hair, particularly in creating that iconic fringy look, is essential. In this video, a versatile short hair product was used to add texture and definition, reminiscent of David Bowie’s edgy style.
Conclusion
This pixie haircut with a curtain fringe is a versatile style that offers a blend of structure and softness, making it perfect for clients looking for something modern yet manageable. Whether you’re a seasoned stylist or just starting, this technique provides valuable insights into using a razor for short haircuts, helping you achieve a polished, professional result every time.
