Long Hair Layers Hair CutNatural HairstylesRound Layers Haircut

Intro Photo okay today we're going to show you how
to do a long layered haircut. And this haircut is really easy
it's simple it's fun because you do it on dry hair so I'm just to make sure the hair is dry and straight we're going to do this haircut dry.
It's really hard to comb the hair straight up where we want to get it.
If it's wet and long, also it's easier to put the texture into the ends, because you can fan the hair out that's why, if you wash it and just dry it then flat iron it. Then you can cut it as soon
as it's dry and straight.
Alright so she has such long hair i'm going to have her stand up.
I'm not going to have her sit down on a chair I'm going to sit down on a chair because it's easier make sure that their feet are the same spot on the floor.
That one knee is not bent you want to make sure that their shoulders are straight looking straight ahead and then comb the hair down grab the middle section.  
This is going to be your bottom length.

You need to decide how long you're going
to leave it or how much you need to trim off
i'm going to take about an inch and a half off i'm point cutting because i want her texture to be really soft.  I don't want there to
be any hard lines in these layers so once you get that middle section
that's your guide. And you go from there.
Over so all her hair is coming back here in a straight line point cut line and this.  We'll do some layers around the front a little bit later put them back together and look straight ahead.
There you go.

Ok looks like we got all the split ends off the bottom you want to just make sure that they are even both sides.
Point cutting is really fun. It gives it a really soft look on the end.  If you want you can go through
and cut it in once you get your length established just go through the bottom we're not doing length anymore.
We're just doing texture just texture these little ends go in and cut straight along with the hair and it texturizes those ends always make sure that their cape is over the chair.
Otherwise you have hair falling in between in their back and their clothes get all hairy
alright so we're going to pump her up a little bit here. So this is what we're going to do.


We're going to take a part and we're going to leave an inch to an inch and a half out of the perimeter of the front.  
Just take your fingers and start where it's parted. I just go down until i touch the ears
then i move up about an inch and then i go around to the back this whole section of hair
is what we're going to work with next. And you're going to pull all of it up.
It doesn't have to be perfect just make sure that  it's not too low.
You don't want to go below this bump, this roll in the head right here.If you get down to low you're taking too much out of the bottom so for this we want to keep it right around the crown and so you have this shape.

It comes to a point up here by the ears
but you still have an inch down here about an inch and a half all the way around okay so now i'm going to lower the chair as much as I can.  
You might want to have them sit on a stool so you can get high enough,
Because you're going to comb all of this hair up.
Straight up from their head all the way up until you've got it pretty good and then just hold it there.
You don't need to have the ends all the way you're going to comb this down back here.
This is where we're going to get our guide.
We're going to take a piece from the back. So we're getting our guide from the back.
Grab a piece right there and you're going to pull it all the way up until you see that.

That's how much we're going to cut off her layers.
Now that seems REALLY scary but I promise you.
It will look great. This is where we're going to cut.  
So bring your fingers up to where you're going to cut and then take all this hair and you are point cutting down
DON'T CUT YOUR FINGERS.

In big chunks...
All the way off there.
You can tip it the other way to make it easier So now you have that length established. Check it one more time.
Bring it up bring your guide down here.
Bring it all the way up. See i'm still a little bit long.
So i'm going to take about another inch off of this point cut.  Always point cut when you do this.
And fan the hair out a little bit so there's no solid yucky lines in there so now you have.

Then length so you keep it up here and you fan it out.
The way i do this is comb it straight and then dig my knuckles in and it makes a really pretty fan put the comb right there and your thumb can hold on to it. Then chunk out like you did on the ends fan it really soft and get big chunks to take out in it.
Go through until it's starting to be a little more see-through. Not so dense not like a broom.  More like a spiky fan.
Like in there.

Finish that up.
You can do as much or as little as you want. I think that looks about good.  
Then you shake it out. Look for some more thick spots.


Maybe right there's a little thick.  You can see the light is a little bit darker.
Go in there and chunk it out.  
Okay then you just let go and you can comb it down get all that dry hair out.
Now there's one more step then we'll be done but you can already see that these layers blend in
really great. There's not any obnoxious lines and the reason why that happens is because the head is round and you're cutting it straight up in a straight line so when it falls it's perfectly blended all the say down so the last thing i'm going to do.
I'm going to start over here by the face and i'm going to put some more layers around her face we left this perimeter out.
Remember?? So i'm going to give her some layers around the perimeter here.

And then I actually have one more step.
I lied. So there's two more steps.
We're going to do the layers around the perimeter. The way i do this.
You decide where you want them... Do you want them to start right below your chin,
or a little bit longer?? Maybe a little bit longer.

Maybe right here? Yes
so we're going to take this section of hair should just be whatever is in front of the ear hold your left hand if you are right handed. So this is my left hand over here that's holding the hair.
And i'm going to bring my fingers. Right about to where we want those layers to start. Right there.

And i'll take my scissors at an angle like this just slowly
it's called like talking this is what you do with your scissors
you go down and slowly layer all the way down and you can do it if you see a few pieces right here. You can go and do a little bit more and that should give you a really nice layer around the face. We're going to do the other side too. And take just that section right in front of the ear now this ones a little bit more tricky.
If you're right handed you need to flip your hand down like this.

And i like to get right in front of them so you flip your wrist upside down.
And talk down this way. So you go right about there. And go all the way down. Then check and make sure your layers are the same length.

If you have a little bit extra on the ends you can just point cut that
there we go so a lot of this is just looking at it and making
sure it looks even doing it a little bit more where you think it needs it. You can talk it just a little bit then just walk the scissors down the strands of
hair that look a little bit too thick and then last step.
After you're happy with the layers in the front.
We're going to make sure that the layers we did on the top match up with these that we did on the bottom.  So i'm going to take sections starting at the right side,
front of the hair and i'm going to pull them straight out from her head.

And just make sure.
I'm checking the haircut now. If you see any little split ends you can
knock them off if you don't see any big points.. It blends pretty well
Like that's pretty good.  Maybe just a teeny bit right there   Just going to take it straight out.
See right here we have a little bit of difference.

This is the longest part. So we can blend it in a little bit with point cut
in the back so you have layers as short and this works on any length of hair.
Because what you're doing is you're taking the guide from however short it is.  
If her hair was this short and I pulled it up.  
Then the layers would be a lot more dramatic they'd be short but they'd still blend in
so you can have that spiky piecey look I do think it works better on at shoulder length or longer hair there's not much length on the bottom after that.
And that's it.

Keratin Complex Keratin Treatment How To Coppola

Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy highly recommends having an extensive consultation with the client before starting the service at this time you will discuss your client's hair type their chemical industry their degree of curl and what result they can expect based on their hair type. It is important to explain that this is a smoothing therapy NOT a chemical straightener or relaxer. This service will not break the bonds it will infuse keratin into the cuticle eliminating up to 95 percent of frizz and curl leaving the hair softer smoother and shinier. Keratin Complex is a revitalizing rejuvenating treatment that will replenish lost keratin making the hair more manageable and easier to blow dry.

Evaluating the length, density and texture of your clients hair will allow you to price the service and determine how much time the product will be needed to perform this
service.  The client can expect a natural
reversion process as the treatment will naturally washout out of the hair over a
period of three to five months. Please have the necessary tools ready
prior to starting the treatment.   The tools required are Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy
Natural Keratin Treatment, Keratin Complex Clarifying Shampoo, Cape, Towels, Bowls, Tint Brush, Heat-Resistant Fine-Tooth Tail Comb, Gloves, Clips, Plastic Cap, Blow Dryer,  Vent Brush, Keratin Complex approved
450 degree Flat Iron, Detailing Iron, Keratin Complex Thermal Glove.

Start by shaking the bottle of Keratin
Complex Smoothing Therapy Natural Keratin Treatment. To ensure even distribution shake the bottle well.  Pour two ounces
into the bowl allowing the treatment to aerate while
your client is being shampoo with Keratin Complex Clarifying
Shampoo.  It is important to remember that you can always add more product if
needed however any remaining product after the
process is complete should be discarded.

It is imperative use our pH elevating
clarifying shampoo to properly open the cuticle for optimal results.  Gently shampoo two times for all types of color treated or chemically processed hair. For all other hair types shampoo three times.  It is recommended to leave
fifty percent of the lather behind during the shampooing process.

Do not completely rinse the lather from
the hair between shampoos. Continue by adding more shampoo each
time.  Completely rinse after the final shampoo.  When color has
been applied prior to the Keratin Complex Treatment always remove the
color first with regular shampoo and then proceed
with one like Keratin Complex Clarifying Shampoo.

It is important not to use any
conditioners, glosses or toners at this time as these
will fill the cuticle and will not leave it open to
accept the Keratin Complex Smoothing After shampooing gently towel
dry your clients hair. Blow dry your clients hair on a medium
heat setting using your fingers. The hair is very fragile and must be
handled with care therefore using a brush or comb is
optional. Continue to blow dry the hair until
it's a 100 percent dry.

When the hair is completely dry allow
the hair to cool down. Using your hands go back in and feel the
hair making sure that there is no moisture left behind.  Moisture in the
hair will prevent the keratin from properly penetrating the cuticle. Treatment needs to be applied to
completely dry hair.

Remove your clients damp towel and replace it with a dry one.  Using your
heat resistant tail comb begin sectioning your clients here into four
parts. Put your gloves on at this time.  Starting
at the nape of the neck make a half to one inch section using your heat
resistant tail comb With your tint brush you are now ready
to apply the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy Natural Keratin Treatment.

Apply
the treatment from root to end.  To ensure the even
distribution, comb the solution through the hair using
your heat resistant fine-tooth comb. You'll notice that with proper
application you will not have excess treatment on
your comb.  If you do over saturate and there is excess treatment on your
comb, redistribute the excess treatment on to the next dry section combining
the dry section with the wet section.

Continue combing the treatment
throughout the hair ensuring even distribution without
oversaturation.  Repeat this procedure throughout the entire head. When applying
the treatment around the hairline make sure to apply away from the face.
When you have achieved complete coverage you will then place a plastic cap offer
your clients hair. At this time your clients will sit with
the plastic cap for 20 minutes.

For extremely curly coarse resistant hair
types allow up to 30 minutes.  No heat is
necessary. After removing the plastic cap begin
combing the hair thoroughly to remove excess treatment from the hair. The excess on the comb should be wiped onto a towel.

Continue combing thoroughly until your
comb is completely clean of excess treatment. As the cuticle has absorbed as much
treatment as possible any excess treatment would leave the
hair feeling heavy. Proper saturation will allow for optimal flat ironing results.  Remove the towel at this time.

Begin blow drying on a medium heat
setting. Using a vent brush or paddle brush
continue to blow dry until their hair is a hundred percent dry. When you feel that the hair is
completely dry allow the hair to cool down. Using your hands go back in and feel the
hair making sure that there is no moisture left behind.

Hair must be a
hundred percent dry before beginning the Flat Iron process. You are now at the most important stage
of the treament. It is extremely important to use the flat iron that will reach a 450 degree temperature. Iron temperatures should be adjusted
based on individual client hair type, as flat irons
are extremely hot and can be damaging.

Please refer to the
main menu for more specific information on iron temperatures. Section the hair into four parts using your
heat resistant tail comb. Starting at the nape of the neck make a 1/8th  of an inch section not unlike a
highlight strip. As shown on the left side you should be
able to see your hand clearly through the section.

The section on the right side is the
incorrect side not allowing your hand to be seen
through the hair. Starting at the nape of the neck hold the hair firmly and tap three
times this as close to the root as possible. Tapping will prevent an impression from
forming at the root. Comb through this section making sure
the ends are smooth and straight.

Always have the comb in front of the
Flat Iron as you continue to iron from root to end.  If
your client's hair is virgin, course, resistant or extremely curly
you will pass over the section with a 430 to 450 degree temperature flat iron 10 to 12 times.  For all  other hair types pass over the section
seven to ten times at a temperature setting a 400 to 430
degree temperature sealing the keratin in into the cuticle.
When dealing with extremely damaged hair less iron passes at a lower temperature
will protect the hair from further damage. 400 To 410 degree temperature is
recommended.

It is important to use your professional
judgment when selecting your iron temperatures.
Refer to the main menu to review iron temperatures. As you continue the ironing process tap tap tap at the root and follow through root to end 7 to 10 passes of the
iron at 400 to 430 degree temperature. This will ensure consistency throughout.
If the ends of the hair are severely damaged focus on root to mid shaft only
ironing the ends every three passes of the iron.  This temperature setting
should be 400 to 410 degree temperature.

Using your flat iron you can add volume by the direction you
iron the hair. It is recommended that you iron straight
out from the root and straight up from the crown.  Don't forget to continue to tap tap tap at the root at all stages of the flat
iron process. It is important to use a detailing iron around the hairline in hard to reach
areas allowing you to get closer to the root for optimal results.

When flat ironing is
complete it is the perfect opportunity to provide
your client with a dusting. As said by Peter Coppola a light dusting is the finishing touch for a beautiful
new beginning. Keratin Complex offers a complete line of aftercare products. It is imperative that your client leaves
the salon with the Keratin Complex Care Shampoo
and Conditioner which is sodium chloride free or the Color Care Shampoo and
Conditioner which is sodium chloride and sulfate free.

All of our products contain keratin that will maximize the longevity of the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy
Treatment. This will ensure the proper after-care
protocol is being followed. It is your responsibility to review the
following after care tips with your client. Do not shampoo hair for three days (72 hours).

Avoid getting any moisture into the
hair.  If hair gets wet blow dry immediately and go over lightly
with a flat iron on a low heat setting. Wear hair down. Do not use pins, clips, elastic, or sunglasses to the hold hair back during the three day 72-hour period.

These can leave an impression on the hair. When swimming in the ocean or a
chlorinated pool rinse hair with fresh water and apply a leave in conditioner
to protect the hair from absorbing the salt and chlorine. After swimming we suggest that you rinse
your hair thoroughly with fresh water to eliminate any salt or chlorine build up. It is also recommended to invite your
client for a shampoo and blow dry after the 3 day 72 hour period.

This will ensure that your client
followed the proper protocol and give you an opportunity to
experience the fabulous results together..
