home you have to reach a level that they've never been before it's almost perfect Wow the judges are ready the stylists can't wait to get started neither can i let's get to work on hair good morning welcome back semi-finalists ready for more hair yeah as usual in the first round the judges want to see you incorporating a set element into your hair styles this week's set element is the Punk classic the Mohican the judges want to see gravity-defying Mohicans judges tell them all so absolutely from here to here at a 90 degree angle all the way I want to see sleek sharp at the sides and of course secure also he we're looking for perfect symmetry it's going to be completely central and the width have to be the same from the front hairline till the back sounds easy enough you have one hour and 15 minutes your time starts now in this challenge the stylists have chosen a model with a hair type they want to work with okay yes I get funky nice to meet you you know what are you having yes sticking I don't even think I'm gonna take the moisture off your oh you know why Alan have you chosen the Mohican things really important to learn how to fix the hair make it stand up all the way and how to make it hold so there is a technique for it that's why we're expecting from this challenge but what's the perfect Mohican the proportions are very important because obviously if you're a wider me can you've got to be much higher to carry that and it should balance you can buzz it or you can slick it lift it up into a ponytail ponytails many variations is their interpretation that we've asked for body we would be really good to see a classic where he can threatening and edgy no more heekin originated with Native American warriors who plucked rather than shaved the sides of their head it was picked up in the 1970s by young British punks who use flour and water sugar and even glue to style their gravity-defying Mohicans today the edge has been taken out of the style and it's been seen on the catwalk and football fields working with Caribbean hair is the norm for me is something that I am very familiar with um so working with it in this stage of the competition hopefully becomes an advantage to me home hair stylist Marvin has his neighbors queuing up on the sofa for the latest hair trends his Mohican will be formed by a series of pom poms which will be shaped into arches along the head Marvin I don't know you so how are you going to interpret the Mohican my inspiration is from the mess monster so I'm going to get my base structure down with the hair bands so yeah I'm gonna bring it up and bring it back and connect it into each one I know just using a bristle brush yeah why is that I'm with afro-caribbean hair we have a lot more problem of smoothing the hair over so I find using the comb to tackle the problem underneath and using the bristle brush to smooth over on top it kind of gives it a cleaner finish so that's why I prefer to use there and it works well with the permeate it works very well okay Marvin's using a bristle brush Prez I would have used a comb but in fact he's getting a really good effect he's Juicin per Mead per metre Sam it's a cross between a gel and a cream really got to brush it in well traditionally a men's oiling product per made first became popular in the early 20th century is associated with slick styles such as duck tails and quips making it a great choice for creating a sleek Mohican subby finals I'm just going out to put in everything serious business now and it's when I sixteen-year-old Kobe is keen to graduate from his Saturday job at his local salon he plans to create a modern version of the Mohican with shaved sights solo you've got old hair what's the plan I'm going to actually cutting in the Mohican to create that classic shape with the shave sides I'm going to take a twist on it I'm not gonna have it sight such a small panel right kind of quite wide okay so what made you think of the wider Mohican just cuz I think it's more current I wanted to put my own twist on it yeah so it looks a bit more trendy a bit more cool okay I can't wait see it okay the plan is to be perfect shiny sleek and you know like very precise 29 year old Dominica studied art and design in Poland and brings the same attention to detail to her work as a photographer's assistant she is attempting a 1970s inspired classic Punk Mohican as an automaker hi okay so far you can't way to shave older Mohican oh where you gonna spend your time on the most time on just section the perfect weekend sectioning yeah and then there probably cards to shorten up because I adopt I can stand up you would say should this become to cut to delimit II that like oh yeah I don't want every like yeah I think it's gonna be too long to keep it straight okay carry on I've seen Kobe and Dominica both are doing buzz haircut onto the side with a mohawk right now they're using perfection within their sectioning very equal on both sides Kobe's Mohican is looking a little bit too wide a little bit short maybe Dominica says she's not gonna keep the whole length which is a great shame that's what makes it so effective I'm planning to bring all the sides up smooth as smooth as I can get them in kind of like parts or but like triangular partings coming up mother - Katie has five years experience in fashion design and loves to be brave using bold sculptured styles and shapes she will be slicking up the sides and will form the Mohican by molding round shapes along the center of the head you got to help me out I've never met your hair people that's obviously been war yeah I mean stretch out about me yeah okay hi this is a different hair take for you isn't it yeah first time ever laughs Oh cattle yeah the first time ever I thought push the boundaries on myself away I don't want to stay safe how'd you find a texture well it's easy to shape but it's a lot easier than I thought it was gonna be because they can work with it so and are you using product on it earth we've used a bit of the oily senior room and I'm using a bit of a made to try and smooth a little bit okay I'm nice it's one side up with Katie and and also with Marvin using African here's a great idea it molds really easily and they don't need to use clippers and shave the sides and things of that they get a great where you can sheet with here I'm gonna jump to her because I need I have to use the Clippers with dry huh bye-bye here the typical meheecan is shaved that's what it says in the dictionary if this part is not on the heekin hopefully the judges will see that I've done my research and they know what I'm doing yeah people's work is steady straightforward you just have to work upwards against the growth of the hair no my case I wasn't sure if I wake by it's really cool right oh mama this is radical yeah yeah definitely did you ask permission first of course this is a big change I know have longer hair than you yeah this is insane what are we going for classic mohawk with the shave sides that's what on mohawk is so brave I'm very impressed you know it's a different way of life being a punk if you're like smashed up a hotel room or a TV or a window yeah no fine leave me to it because I can't wait to see the finished article year Marvin stands up is Mohican by putting hair bands around a series of ponytails and pinning to the head it's going fish in quicker now that the sides have been shaved Kobe and Dominica must create the Mohican by cutting the remaining hair to do this the hair is elevated 90 degrees from the head and all cut to the same length all right yep 30 minutes left everyone 30 minutes left and the award for the person a Mohican is most going to suit goes to this guy it already looks awesome it's not even up yet but you think so I think it's your long hair before when you you hiding this like jaw of Steel thing you got going on there as you can see Dominic is very good at getting hair to stand upright look no further than her bombs it's almost like a plunger the dynamite the key to sculpting a good Mohican is using product correctly to make it stand upright and stay put to make the hair stand up defying gravity 90 degrees it's good to blow dry before the hands wet to produce gel or strong gel on the roots so you get a kick right away but I would spend a lot on hair spray a little back combing hair spray and blow-drying as you go along make sure it's always central working one side working the other one side the other all way through to the top Dominika replies hairspray to the dry hair and uses the heat of the straighteners to fuse it together basically what I'm going to do is they're gonna put a little bit back combing it a bit clay and just give it some height and just hope that it stays that there's a lot of pathway I'm trying to decide whether to just leave it as a follow Mohican or kind of do me original plan and kind of bring it down into shapes like all koala it looks incredible I love this I think in Scotland Mohawk Loch Ness monster so getting here it could work your mind really this work in a marvelous way that's why they call you Marvelous Marvin how are you feeling about being here and semi final have you visualize yourself winning this many times in different ways and different outfits trust me I've done it all of the little would you think seeing your greatest threat in the room who is the one person you're secretly having nightmares about the eyes go straight to Dominica yep cuz she's so innovative and even with her hair day to day could you not do that with your hair no Steve a really good good hair stylist I'd probably make a wig and do it with just ten minutes to go katie has decided to stick to her original plan and molds the hair into round shapes I think you've managed to make the Mohawk look elegant somehow I would put this on my my mother just gonna put it out there this is 100% a Mohican yes it is I think so yeah there's my night off so it's from the front to the head to the back of the head that's that was the brief wasn't it same with all the way down 90 degrees off the head this is a mohawk it's a very elegant one at that sorry Mohican the Americans say Mohawk cuz they're lazy 60 seconds time's up guys please step away from your Punk and please do not smash up your workstation Alan and Denise are looking for well-proportioned and totally central Mohicans which stand up at 90 degrees the judges are coming what sir Marvin Sonny were looking like over here really good styling variation of Mohican seafood central I want to push it a little bit from the middle here just making sure that it's right in the middle but it stays in the middle so he's got to be solid from the roots till the ends definitely 90 degrees all the way around which we can see quite evenly here I absolutely love what you've done with a hairline thank you did you just did you put that with the permitted you lose here sorry but um Jo I used oh yeah my Tolkien because it's lovely it's a nice when you've got a fine hairline that you maybe couldn't have taken back you've made a nice almost henna effect it's a great buy ition and on that styling everything you pull it off there little bit bias towards the earth Nessie Yemen to the there's a straw yeah you won me here another backbone hit nice work Marvin very clever good let's go see Katie thanks work course Katie doing feels a little low in fact it's a little wider than its higher what about the central positioning see how it suits within the middle of it again there's why does it is it's kind of more difficult to judge it's sort of reaches the 90 degrees but it was a little bit flat here yeah so it needs to be higher yeah the minute we start to lift it yeah even working on your beauty I mean it's beautifully done I can see you know we we actually look we've we've reached the criteria we're at 90 degrees no can I get a yeah yo Nate does this qualify as a Mohican no it's not American was two white and two not high enough you've just got your proportions wrong - Colby we created a violation of the Mohican I would say violation because it's a little bit wider now let's see if it's in the middle I need to lift it up to see what's going on - to your truth it's even high on little bit one side and the other not completely even isn't it supposed to be a bit of a messy Mohican oh that's the idea isn't it being a little bit Punk isn't it it's anarchy this woman's head is anarchy certainly a modern very feminine twist on the Mohicans yeah which is what you wanted to achieve you were at 90 degrees all the way around but what happened when Alan touched it it fail yeah so you were not secure in the base so we lost your 90 degrees there can I say one more thing too much hairspray then that's why you've got the wrong type of separation here yeah you've just got brittle mmm and it's just doing this it's not flowing soft because you were just jetting that hairspray a brave effort absolutely raver model nice one Cory yeah Dominica I also finished an old perfect look so completely central this is a the anarchists it's even all the way through you love the finish of it the only the only thing I would have said is this is a shame you had this length and I don't know a secure confident you felt about you know making it hold all the way for it then bigger the more of a chief it became I like the length actually yeah I think it's nice and sharp it's really great you've definitely got 90 degrees you've really stayed true to their to the modern history of the of the Mohican YouTube made quite a funky couple yes we buy a hat yep well darn it looks damn stunning Cheers brilliant thanks thank you House it is thanks for your sterling work guys this sanctuary of the prac remar Waits you go take a break you deserve it well done give him your number oh man oh man I knew that it wasn't how I wanted it to look there's too much hath bound it it's not intentional I feel confident you know because I got really good comments no I'm like I want to make a little village full of Mohawk people next up its the blockhead round and this week the judges want the amateurs to get your grips of the totally new area of hairdressing barbering this week the judges want you to create your first short hair style it's the classic short back and sides with the square top as you can see it's a square shape so we want to see that horizontally vertically the key of barbering technique is the scissor over comb usually worked on the side and the back that's where you cut the hair shorter than your fingers so once you've done the basic cut you finish it using scissors over comb that's right easy as usual you will be rank'd on this to do your very best work and I should mention Corby will have an advantage because you can just look in the mirror extraordinary you have one hour and 15 minutes and we should complete this task grab a block head and get to it good luck it looks like that guy whose hair you cut this morning dominate here doesn't it another boyfriend's very attractively even gonna want care the short back and sides first became fashionable when American college students sported it in the 1920s I'm not feeling comfortable there's nothing I've ever attempted to do before the judges want the amateurs Blockheads to be cut to the same length as the demonstration model never comes here before never so this is a first why a men's cut all of a sudden here we on semi-final yeah rocket challenge need a new technique a little more difficult producing barbarian technique of a scissor over comb okay only one blade should be moving your plate along your comp itself and just one blade should be moving into it we could if we wanted to use a set of clippers on a one or two blade but that's not a craft that's easy to use scissors over comb for finishing is a proper finish and a barber haircut which gives you that lovely velvet feeling you could actually feel every here concertina all the way up that's nice so this is like an art form any idiot can use the Clippers yes but this is this is art absolutely the semi-final that's gonna definitely define who can and cannot do it so what are you looking for out there so the important thing with the shape is this square line you get that lovely square sheet it's a great challenge the stylists have been given a sectioning map to guide them through the kite will actually follow in the section him up point to the letter for beginners attempting the short back and sides they must first create a horseshoe shaped section around the top of the head concentration Kobe yes definitely now if you cut this hairstyle before never never what do you think about the sectioning map is there helping you and I've just literally looked at the first step and I'm not Section done and yeah I can see it nice horseshoe shape there the next step is to remove the length from the hair below the horseshoe section I'm just using my finger as a length guide it's a car making sure from general driveway about Julia nuit once the length has been taken off the sides the stylus should move on to cutting the hair on the top of the head using a technique called square layering square layering is literally pulling the hair up 90 degrees very tight and completely straight like a flat topper there's a thing called the flat topper are you getting up done the basic shape yeah took all the way off I've got me I've done me top aligned all that up straight and everything and I just took away off understand it and your timing you're doing okay I've no idea right right well keep on going 30 minutes remain are you heading in a pink-cheeked direction yes very very very close just starting out a bit flustered okay nice you need to start believin Gorby I'll leave you to it thank you tympanic loose think relaxed once the stylists are happy that all of the hair on the top of the head has been cut to the same length they should then finesse the sides and back once you call reach between your fingers anymore and has to be shorter you work with the scissor over comb technique you just have to work higher higher higher and repeat higher high it's moving very slowly many many times with the blade I've never ever ever consider of curb trying to get this as a over comb level because you could take chunks out of it by accident I feel like it's a little bit like a cutting the bush I still think that should be shorter we'll get there that is absolutely awful Thanks no not the haircut I was doing at Simon Cowell impression looks a little bit like him it does look like you remember it Zoey going for my side two eyes Dominique is got a Simon Cowell thing going on over there do you know who this reminds me of the Dedra Barlow oh my gosh the final and most difficult step of this haircut is connecting the short sides with the longer top one of the little problem areas or difficult areas for this haircut is the joining between the sides to the flat top what happens when people lose a haircut is they start to try and join this in and round it off I think I need to route you I need to round at their sides and not to blend it nicely so it's like so the longer layer with the shorter one pretty much guests how to do besides I don't want to take them to shore I guess now that is not listening sort of look 10 minutes guys 10 minutes left it's not as hard as I thought it would be so quite happy with myself my father like it looks so close to the tomahto it's far it's just too long which is making those bits too long if that was slightly shorter the back of a lot better time to go through a fight again um that's the thing I don't know where it's gone wrong it looks a lot longer yeah how thick your fingers normal that's awesome I just I don't know but two minutes left I'm stuck could you flatten it down with a little bit of product maybe I mean stick it down yeah but then it's it's only hiding what's that too long and that's time the blockhead challenge in these semi-finals is over step away from the blockhead thank you guys the judges are looking for a cut which is shorter than the width of the fingers has a square top no lumps or bumps and a smooth velvety finish here come the judges Kobe will check first I'll square the shape is you can see it's bending down okay it's gone round so the top isn't square you're saying absolutely not where it feels a little bit bushi through here so when you were doing your scissors over comb to clean your shape up you've not you've not get in there to get that lovely velvet feeling you left it quite long yeah would you say it's an occurring thing where Kobe Katz's initial kept too long yeah I think he's a little shy overall this haircut a little too long that's growing up call it chopped anxiety let's go see Marvin no chopped anxiety down here yeah so it shot back insights short short back it's the very so you've gone quite a little bit shorter too much contrast between really short where you've got on the side and the top if you look here you'll actually see that coroner is missing from the haircut so when you've come up with your scissors over comb you've gone in like this you the combs full of the head in instead of feeling I can evolve it a mom was getting velcro does that make sense yes it's just a wee bends so it's a little bit shorter once again not quite that we were looking for no all right top feels a little long to truce shame you haven't got shorter still the shape is the closest youth we've seen right now and the top is flat and the top is flat beautiful Oh velvet what does that tell us wait it says that the scissors will recall have actually finished off very nicely flat roll-up velvet finish yeah jackpot I'm so happy with that yeah yeah seemed quite still but you're dancing on the inside I am yeah what has Dominica been up to too long way too long he would have nailed it if you cut back that lying small s if you were sticking the hair up itself using some gel or something you would see that the shape is round on the top feels good your sisters of a comb it feels velvety if it feels lovely doesn't mean it's a good cut or we just got like a velvet fetish no I'm not that velvet affected sure scissors over come this way has been as you can see look nice and even but then what's happened she's followed the head sheet and it's going to right right lesson learnt Thank You Dominica thank you
