Dynamic Disconnected Cut

A women's disconnected haircut course. See how to create flat sides and a top full of movement, solving the problem of hair that grows out sideways.

About the course

Dynamic Disconnected Cut is a technique for building a short women's hairstyle that solves the problem of hair growing out "sideways." The course shows how to intentionally use disconnection to create flat, close-lying sides and a dynamic, movement-full top that remains the longest element of the entire shape, giving the client ease in everyday styling.

Klaudia Piotrowicz guides you through the entire cutting process step by step: from sectioning off the stationary guide and working wet according to the head shape, through cleaning up the sides with scissors over comb for a soft, natural line-up, to creating disconnection using a zigzag-shaped parting. This technique allows for elevating the longer top while keeping a flat shape on the sides that the client can easily style at home.

In the course you'll see

  • Creating disconnection using a dense, zigzag-shaped parting - why this prevents a "chopped-off" fringe effect and builds volume
  • Cleaning up the sides with scissors over comb for a natural transition without hard lines and the contrast typical of clippers
  • The flat layering technique that controls hair growing outward and helps the hairstyle hold its shape longer
  • Working wet with the stationary guide, which acts as a guideline for the whole shape, while simultaneously lengthening the front
  • Personalizing dry - how notching and point cutting add texture and lightness without shortening the length you've worked for
  • Guiding the scissors flat against the skin when shortening hair at the hairline, to elevate the longer section on top
  • Final styling with sea salt spray and matte paste - how to apply product so the hair cooperates when styling

After this course, you'll start using disconnection with intention - not as a trick, but as a fundamental tool for building the shape of a short haircut. You'll learn to create cuts full of dynamics and texture that solve specific client problems - like hair growing out sideways - and that are easy for them to style every day.

FAQ

Who is this haircut suitable for? Will it solve the problem of hair growing out sideways?
Yes, this technique is ideal for clients whose hair grows out sideways quickly. The course shows how to create flat, close-lying sides while keeping a dynamic, longer top that the client can easily style.
What tools are needed to perform this cut?
Scissors and a comb are all you need for this haircut. The educator shows how to complete the entire shape, including cleaning up the sides, using scissors only, to achieve a soft effect without clippers.
How long is the entire video course?
The video course runs 41 minutes. Klaudia Piotrowicz guides you step by step through the whole cutting process, from working wet to the final personalizing and styling.
How does the disconnection shown in the course differ from the standard version?
The educator creates disconnection using a dense, zigzag-shaped parting. This prevents a 'chopped-off' fringe effect and makes the shorter hair underneath naturally lift the longer top.
Does the course show how to avoid a hard line on the short sides?
Yes, the entire process of cleaning up the sides is done with the scissors-over-comb technique. This creates a soft transition and a natural line-up, without the hard contrast typical of clippers.
Does the course cover only the wet cut?
No, the course shows the full process. After the wet cut and drying, the educator moves on to personalizing dry, using notching and point cutting techniques to add texture and lightness to the hairstyle.
