How-To: Soften Ends

Donald Scott, chief creative hair artist, is showcasing his exclusive razor technique to create cuts with movement, dimension and texture in.To get the effect of a soft, wispy look, Donald suggests using the Carving Comb on the ends of hair in a rapid back and forth cutting motion. Using a razor instead of shears with this technique results in long and short pieces of hair for added texture to the otherwise blunt line.

How-To: Soften Edges 

Step 1: Prepare the hair with 2-3 mists of Donald Scott NYC Liquid Tool Glide to wet hair for ultimate slip, glide and finish.

Step 2: Hold the hair with 1 1/2 inches exposed between two fingers.

Step 3: Using both cutting sides of your Carving Comb, use a rapid back and forth motion until the ends are softened and textured.  Continue as needed for weightless movement and definition.
