In this tutorial, I walk you through a repeatable line and layer haircut system for longer men’s hair that removes guesswork and gives you consistent results behind the chair.

You’ll see exactly how I assess hair type, break the head into clear zones above and below the round, and use strong lines as the foundation before layering for movement, balance, and texture. This method helps you work faster, make cleaner decisions, and avoid the common mistakes that make longer men’s hair feel unpredictable.

The video covers practical sectioning, razor and scissor techniques, controlled layering, cross-checking, texturising, blow-drying, and finishing for natural volume and flow. Everything shown is designed to be applied immediately in real barbershop and salon environments.

If you’ve ever struggled with longer men’s haircuts looking flat, heavy, or inconsistent, this approach will give you a framework you can rely on every single day.

Watch through, save it, and revisit it whenever longer hair starts to feel complicated again.
