Hair Style Tutorial 04/06/2020
Have you ever struggled with removing weight inside a haircut? The answer... Channel cutting!!
.
.
Yesterday I posted a video using this technique on short hair and so many of you commented on it... the comments ranged from excitement to try it to total disbelief and horror 😱 .
.
In answer to the most asked question.. it isn’t a disaster when it grows out.. but it could be if done incorrectly !! Erin has bleached, super thick hair and it was always a challenge to get any definition in it with it being so short. Placing the channels parallel to the travel of the hair creates a similar result to placing color parallel to the fall of the hair. It becomes stronger and you can see the line more. .
.
When the channels grow out they blend in with her hair, I can easily retrace them by parting the hair across the channels, laying them open and re cut the line... similar to picking up a hilght and re coloring it:)
.
.
.
It is kind of like having 100 popsicle sticks all stacked next to each other and you go in and remove 2 of them every 10 or so... so maybe 20% of the hair is removed..less if you use texturizing scissors.😉✂️
.
.
Here I am removing bulk from a longer head of hair. Definitely not for the weak of heart!😂 I use channeling like this when there is a head of hair that has maximum density.. I prefer this method to slicing or traditional thinning because it reduces bulk at the scalp area not just the mids to ends. .
.
On this cut I’m working with diagonal sections and placing my thinning scissors directly on the scalp. This should be done on dry hair and NEVER on the top layer for long hair! My sections were about 3/4” apart and focused on the crown and back sections. She didn’t have as much density in front of the ears so it wasn’t needed there.

Channel cutting is a great technique when used properly and thoughtfully, including a great consultation so the client understands not only the process but also the grow out and maintenance 💗💗💗
