Women's Disconnected Mullet

A women's haircut course in which Paweł Rup builds a women's version of the mullet on short, bleached hair, with disconnection in two planes: he cuts the back in a 90-degree vertical layer in a horizontally square shape, the sides from a central section with another disconnection behind the ear, the top in a square with horizontal sections, all with point cutting, then adds texture dry, removes the weight line with diagonal sections, cuts a choppy fringe with face framing and styles with powder on wet hair, a diffuser and matte clay.

Result and process

About the course

Women's Disconnected Mullet is a haircut in which Paweł Rup builds shapes disconnected in two planes: vertical and horizontal. The model has short, bleached hair with a slight regrowth that, having grown out, lies flat and close to the head. There is too much weight at the back and on the sides, and the fringe is too long. The goal: hair lifted strongly upwards, plenty of texture and volume, a shorter fringe and a sharp, spiky character.

The course takes you through the whole process: from analysing the shapes and sectioning with a box section, through the back cut in a 90-degree vertical layer in a horizontally square shape, the sides cut from a central section with a disconnection behind the ear and the top in a square with horizontal sections, to the dry work. There Paweł Rup adds texture with deep point cutting, removes the weight line with diagonal sections, builds lightness from the roots on top and cuts a choppy fringe. Finally he styles the hair with powder on wet hair, a hairdryer and a diffuser, and sets the cut with matte clay.

0:05
01Disconnection in two planes
Today we'll be building shapes disconnected from each other, disconnected in both planes
1:30
02Hair like a pancake
straight, bleached hair lays a bit like a pancake, meaning close to the head.
2:16
03Point cutting on the whole head
We'll be doing this whole haircut with the point cutting technique, meaning we'll be cutting the hair at the right angle.
4:23
04Wet means foundation
Wet, we create the foundation. Wet, we create the perimeter of everything we'll be working on.
5:06
05The virtual floor
every time our virtual floor, which is our reference point for layers, changes.
5:51
06The haircut fits the person
we match the haircut to the person, not the person to the haircut.
6:51
07A horizontally square shape
We build a horizontally square shape by overdirecting the next section to the previous section.
23:10
08A marked comb
I have four holes on the comb, so for the other side I'll make the same guide strand here.
41:07
09The weight line
So we also have to somehow carve out this weight line.
46:11
10Deep at the roots
cutting in right at the roots doesn't really mean we'll cut a hole in someone's hair.
48:21
11A face-framing fringe
the fringe has to build face framing, so I can't cut it into a round shape
1:01:31
12Product on the fringe
if we put too much product on the fringe, the fringe will get clumpy

FAQ

Who is this course for?

For hairdressers and barbers who want to cut short women's haircuts with disconnection: build shapes in square layers, overdirect sections to a guide and personalize the cut dry.

What tools do I need?

Scissors, a comb (Paweł Rup also uses a marked comb to check length), clips, water to dampen the hair, a hairdryer with a diffuser, a flat brush, texturizing powder and matte clay.

What does disconnection in two planes mean?

The back, the sides and the top are not connected: there is a disconnection between the back and the sides and between the sides and the top. This gives the cut volume on the curve of the head and shows the shape on the sides, and Paweł Rup blends the sharp weight lines dry with diagonal sections.

How do I cut bleached hair without losing the bleached lengths?

Work out the length so the bleached hair doesn't disappear from the sides. Paweł Rup refreshes the existing square layers instead of cutting much shorter, and uses the bleach with its slight regrowth in the styling.

Can I use powder on wet hair?

Not every day, as it isn't good for the hair, and the model knows that. In this styling, powder on wet hair gives strong lift at the roots, texture and volume.

How do I avoid overloading the fringe with product?

Apply the matte clay from the back, through the sides and the crown, and give the fringe only what is left on your hands. Too much product makes the fringe clumpy.
