Disconnection is a method for cutting hair without physically connecting the sections with the cut. It’s been around for a long time, but is recently making it’s way back into the salons. We are currently using this cutting method to reduce weight where needed, and add add interest to any haircut.

This haircut is a modern version of an old classic, the bob. It’s a great way to introduce disconnection to timid clients. In this article, I'll give you the diagrams, tips and techniques to reproduce this haircut.

To many, blow-drying seems like a simple task. But to me, it’s an art. I am one of those hairdressers who needed a lot of help in this area, especially with all the different textures that are out there in hair. I came to a point in my career where I just couldn’t get the results I wanted with the skills I had. I had originally learned how to blow dry with out the nozzle on, air on full throttle with the head upside down for lots of height and texture for big 80’s hair, let’s face it I needed help.

If you’re like me, you are probably always in the search for better tools. Occasionally, I get asked to test products and tools, and I love to pass my opinions on to my friends (as well as the marketing folks for the vendors.) Other times, I come across tools being used by my peers.
