00:00Hi, this is Javed Habib, the Scissorman.
00:08You don't have a cutting sheet?
00:11So I took a newspaper,
00:13folded it in half,
00:15and cut 5 inches.
00:17Look at this.
00:185 inches.
00:20And...
00:22cut it.
00:24See what this turned out to be?
00:26This would have been my homemade cutting sheet.
00:34There are only 3 sections.
00:36And how are the 3 sections?
00:38First, we wet the hair.
00:40So we...
00:41wet the hair.
00:43See?
00:44We wet the hair.
00:48You can use any kind of scissor,
00:50any kind of comb,
00:51you can use this too.
00:52If you have this, you can use this too.
00:54I believe you need a wider comb,
00:56because your hair is long.
00:57So let's take a wider comb.
00:59And...
01:01from the nose,
01:03see from the nose,
01:05center parting.
01:07See?
01:08Center parting.
01:12So what did I do?
01:14I took center parting to the back.
01:16Section 1.
01:18Then I come to the side.
01:21Section 2.
01:24Do you know what this means?
01:26This means...
01:28Look at this.
01:29This...
01:30and this.
01:32After that, my section number 3.
01:36Do you know what this means?
01:38What does this mean?
01:39This means this...
01:41and this.
01:42So my 1 section, 2 section, 3 section.
01:44Now...
01:46how do we cut the hair?
01:48Let's see.
01:52Remember, when you cut the back hair,
01:54this...
01:56chin, on the front.
01:58See?
02:00When you cut the side hair,
02:02side.
02:03When you cut the side hair,
02:05side.
02:06So learn this movement.
02:08You will cut the hair faster,
02:10you will cut the hair better.
02:11Now I combed the hair.
02:15See, comb it.
02:19Comb it.
02:23If your hair is long,
02:25twist it.
02:27See?
02:28Twist it like this.
02:29Otherwise, in a simple way,
02:31take the hair.
02:33Take the hair.
02:35Just watch.
02:36Just watch.
02:37Take the hair.
02:38And just twist it once.
02:40That's it.
02:42See this?
02:43I have to cut the hair here.
02:45And your scissors will go straight.
02:47See this?
02:48Straight.
02:49See this?
02:52See how tight I am holding it?
02:55So that my hair doesn't get loose.
03:00Our hair is thick.
03:01See?
03:02Because I...
03:03I didn't take the section.
03:05I tried to cut it in one chop.
03:10Don't be scared.
03:11We have to cut the hair like this.
03:12See, the hair is cut.
03:13Can you see?
03:14The hair is cut.
03:15I started cutting.
03:16And...
03:17We take it again.
03:24One chop.
03:25Straight.
03:27Now let's come to the side.
03:29And when I cut the hair on the side,
03:30I will stand on my shoulder.
03:32And what will I do?
03:33I will tilt it.
03:34I will tilt it.
03:35Just watch.
03:37I will tilt it.
03:38See, I am going to tilt it.
03:40I am going to tilt it.
03:42I took my comb again.
03:47And...
03:48My section no. 2.
03:52My section no. 2.
03:54Can you see?
03:55The back hair is cut.
03:56This is my guideline.
03:57So hold it.
03:59And as soon as the hair starts coming out,
04:01straight hair.
04:03And cut it.
04:10See, I cut it straight.
04:13I could have turned it if I wanted to.
04:16Direction no. 3.
04:18See, I am doing direction no. 3.
04:21And where do I stand?
04:23On my shoulder.
04:25So first of all,
04:27we will comb the hair.
04:31We will comb the hair.
04:34See this.
04:35Section no. 3.
04:37And you will see small cut hair.
04:40See.
04:41And as soon as your hair starts coming out,
04:44straight hair.
04:46And...
04:48I cut it.
04:53See.
04:54I cut it.
04:55See, the line is so good.
04:58So, back hair.
05:00Side hair.
05:02Side hair.
05:04And in three sections,
05:06you see my hair,
05:07it is so even.
05:09And if you see anything uneven,
05:11because we are not professional,
05:12we can just chop it off.
05:15See my hair.
05:17Do you know what this is called?
05:18This is called trim.
05:20And this trimming,
05:21anyone can do it.
05:27Yes, my hair should be even.
05:29And take this.
05:32Take this.
05:35Flick.
05:37See.
05:39I took the flick.
05:41This is the flick, right?
05:43Which we call fringes.
05:46Take it neat.
05:48This is it.
05:49If we look at it from above,
05:51you will know that this is my section.
05:55Now see what I am doing.
05:57I will teach you two or three ways.
06:00One way is this.
06:02You take the comb.
06:04Hold the comb.
06:06And hold it and come forward.
06:08Now see,
06:09your hair has started spinning.
06:12See, your hair has started spinning.
06:16So I twisted my hair.
06:18This is one way.
06:20The second way
06:21is easier.
06:23Come forward.
06:25And
06:27twist it.
06:31And the flick you want,
06:33cut it.
06:35If you want it long,
06:36cut it long.
06:37If you want it short,
06:38cut it short.
06:40So what did I say?
06:41I said first,
06:43round.
06:45First,
06:46twisting.
06:47See how simple this is.
06:49How simple this is.
06:50Just watch.
06:53And how is the direction of the finger?
06:55It is straight.
06:57And where to cut it?
06:58Remember,
06:59we have to cut it on the nose.
07:02And my fingers are going to be
07:03horizontal.
07:04And
07:05see what I am doing.
07:10I cut it.
07:12You will get this comb everywhere.
07:14This is my kitchen comb.
07:17I don't need a professional comb for this.
07:19See,
07:20this kitchen comb
07:21is not sharp.
07:23So you will have to work harder for this.
07:28And I go back.
07:30See what magic is this.
07:32I go back.
07:35I go back.
07:37Let's watch this carefully.
07:40I go back.
07:41See, I cut my hair like this.
07:44And when I go back,
07:45as soon as I do this,
07:48I get flicks in my hair.
07:50See.
07:52You do it here.
07:53Do it here.
07:54You can do it anywhere.
07:56I mean,
07:57the flick
07:59has become my style.
08:00And see,
08:02see this.
08:03A flick.
08:04This is what you need.
08:05And what is the benefit of a flick?
08:06You will get a bounce in your hair.
08:08What is the benefit of a flick?
08:09Our round face
08:12becomes an oval shape.
08:18And the most common cut in this country
08:20is a step cut.
08:22I mean, my hair should look layered.
08:24How do we do this?
08:25There is a simple way.
08:27A very simple way.
08:29Pick up all the hair.
08:32Remember this.
08:33Pick up all the hair.
08:36Pick up all the hair.
08:39Like this.
08:43Pick it up like this.
08:45Hold this.
08:47See, pick up all the hair.
08:49I said, pick up all the hair.
08:50We don't want to leave any hair.
08:53I know my hair.
08:54To control it,
08:55I am picking it up in sections.
08:58See this.
09:00I am picking it up in sections.
09:04Hold this.
09:06Pick up all the hair.
09:08All my hair will go up together.
09:11Because our Indian hair,
09:13our desi hair,
09:14is very,
09:16very
09:18heavy.
09:19It is long.
09:21So, you won't be able to pick it up at once.
09:25So, if you see,
09:27I have picked up all the hair.
09:33Now see carefully.
09:35See what I am doing.
09:37I am holding it.
09:38I am twisting it.
09:39Just watch.
09:40See, I am holding it.
09:42And I am twisting it.
09:44See it again.
09:45This is nice.
09:47I am combing my hair.
09:49See this.
09:50And I am twisting it.
09:51See this carefully.
09:53See this carefully.
09:55And where did all my hair go?
09:57All my hair goes to this crown.
10:01And my hair is straight.
10:02See this.
10:04See this.
10:05Some people do pony.
10:06Do pony.
10:07Twist the essence.
10:08And cut this.
10:10Slow motion.
10:11Because this is not our professional scissors.
10:14We are using
10:16We are using simple scissors.
10:19Which are not even sharp.
10:22So, take some hair.
10:25See.
10:27In one chop.
10:29In one chop, all the hair came.
10:30All the hair came.
10:31And come back.
10:32Come back.
10:33Come back.
10:34Come back.
10:35Come back.
10:36And leave it.
10:38And when I leave it.
10:41See, how nice layering has come in my hair.
10:44See.
10:47Means.
10:48Bounce in hair.
10:50Means movement in hair.
10:52Means volume in hair.
10:54Means height in hair.
10:56Means style in hair.
10:58Style.
10:59Means romance in hair.
11:02This is layering.
