00:00I think every curly girl goes through the struggle of hate love with your hair.
00:03Everybody loves it.
00:04You don't know how to do it.
00:07Most of my life when I grew up, I was like, can I just straighten it?
00:10Can I do anything but wear it curly?
00:12But luckily, my mom was like, no, your hair is beautiful.
00:14You need to learn to love it.
00:21I'm Riley Simpson, and I'm getting a Mizani haircut today.
00:25Oh, my hair journey has been really long.
00:27I used to never cut my hair because I wanted it to be super long.
00:31And then I used to only keep my hair short with like a bunch of bangs.
00:35And now I'm trying to do something different.
00:36Because my hair can grow super long, I want to do that,
00:39and I want it to have a bunch of layers so it's nice and pretty and different.
00:44Hello, my name is Jada Jenkins, and I am from Maryland.
00:48I am a professional hairstylist, and I specialize in all things girls.
00:53The Mizani haircut is a cutting curriculum.
00:56It's a solution-based haircut that allows you to put air in the hair.
01:00It can be worn straight or curly, and it can be recreated.
01:04It's also different because we part the hair in different zones.
01:09Each zone is catered to its needs.
01:11If you want to remove bulk in one zone, you can do that.
01:14If you want to put volume in one zone, guess what?
01:16You can do that, too.
01:18So that's what I love about it.
01:20So for someone like Riley, who wants to remove bulk and wants to add volume to her hair,
01:26the Mizani haircut is going to be great for her because we're going to remove bulk with our exterior and
01:30interior,
01:31and we are going to use an upward glide to give her some volume.
01:34But before we do that, we always are going to make sure that we identify her texture type and her
01:40density of hair,
01:41so that we know how much we can remove and how much we can.
01:46Hey, Riley. How are you?
01:47I'm good. How are you?
01:49My name is Jayden, and I'm going to be servicing you today.
01:51What brings you here?
01:53Today, I'm looking for my hair to show a lot more length, cut in a little bit more so it's
01:57not so bulky right here,
01:58and just overall framing of the face so we look good all the time.
02:02So we're going to go in, we're going to remove some bulk, we are going to put some air pockets
02:07in it,
02:07and we are going to make your hair appear to be longer than it is.
02:11Oh, period.
02:12You down for it?
02:13Yes.
02:14You down for it.
02:16So the first thing I'm going to do with Riley is identify her texture type and her density.
02:21Now I'm going to take a sectioning stick, and I'm going to zone out her hair.
02:27I will have seven zones in total once I'm done.
02:32As you can see, as I'm clipping, I'm using alligator clips.
02:36I love them for textured hair.
02:39It just ensures that the clip doesn't fall out, and it gives us nice security.
02:45So the first zone I'm going to cut is zone one.
02:49But before I cut any hair, I am always going to prep the hair with my Mizani 25 Miracle Milk.
02:59Zone one is going to allow me to establish the length.
03:04Okay, so now I'm picking up my wide tooth comb and a straight pair of shears.
03:10I'm placing my wide tooth comb in the hair.
03:14And then I'm going to cut straight across to the desired length we want.
03:20After I cut straight across, I am pulling out that comb.
03:25I am not dragging it.
03:26I'm pulling it out.
03:27Because remember, I don't want to disturb the curl pattern.
03:31So I'm still in zone one, and now I'm going to do a face framing.
03:36We're going to establish the length, her fringe, and connect that back zone one to the front zone one.
03:45In zone two and three, I've parted the hair horizontally, and now I am going to start my cutting.
03:54For these zones, I am going to do interior.
04:00This is going to aggressively remove bulk.
04:04In this zone, I am going to do slide glide, which gives diffusion to the hair.
04:11And then I will address the haircut until I complete all seven zones.
04:18So now that I have completed the cut, now it is time for me to start the styling process.
04:26I will always use my 25 Miracle Milk as a leave-in conditioner, which helps achieve movable hair,
04:33air in the hair, and just fun, flowy, full, airy hair.
04:40And now, time for the reveal.
04:44How do you feel?
04:45I mean, I got to say, this is just perfect.
04:49Like, I love the way it's framing my face.
04:50You can see my whole face with the long layers.
04:53It's giving length, volume, long layers.
04:57Like, I just couldn't be happier.
04:58Like, you really killed that.
04:59Oh, yay!
05:01It's giving Maudel, like, she is ready for the shoot.
05:05If they need me to push my hair back, like, I got it.
05:08Look at that.
05:09Look at that.
05:09Look at that shave.
05:13Oh, my goodness.
05:14You're so welcome.
