Mohawk Clipper Cutting Cited

 The stylist did an excellent job customizing this mohawk to the little boy's headshape.  If he is going to sport a mohawk, then this is the best time before he starts to interview for a job.  His dad oversaw the process.

Geodesic Clipper Cutting with "G6" Geocurve Comb

I first introduced the Geodesic technology in a previous article highlighting hair styling legend Floyd Kenyatta. This mannequin was clipper cut with just two clipper strokes using the Geocurve comb. One clipper cut in the back. Then the hair was combed up into a ponytail in the front. The "G6" was inserted into the mohawh area for the second clipper cut. The back was cut "frown face." The mohawk section was cut "smiley face." It is a curved comb. Hopefully, you get the "frown face" versus the "smiley face." Always hold the comb where the teeth are facing you for control. So two clipper strokes and Voila! you get this core cut. You can fine tune the cut as you would like.
When cutting the back, leave the front hair alone in front of the ears. Pictured is hairstylist David Palmer and his assistant. I believe that team Geodesic announced that David Palmer is opening a salon in Paris, France soon. He may be originally a British born stylist. He also has a haircare line coming out soon. You can research more about David Palmer at your leisure.
The classic bob is completed using clippers and "G6" Geocurve comb.

You can also fringe the face using the curve of the comb. This article does feature three different mannequins and various clipper cutting angle options. The Geocurve comb is a "throwback" from about ten or 15 years ago. The technology is centered around the "convex clipper comb." Please see my other article for other convex clipper comb options.

August 2011 Hair Show: Floyd Kenyatta's Geodesic

I just returned from the August 2011 Bronner Brothers International Hair Show in Atlanta, GA. Floyd Kenyatta, an Ambassador for Paul Mitchell Systems, presented the Geodesic clipper cutting philosophy. The presentation featured a curved comb made completely of tourmaline and carbon fibers that can withstand heat up to 440 degrees Fahrenheit.

This curved clipper comb assists in condensed cutting of bobs and layers.

Surprisingly, I had a professional convex clipper comb set in my tool inventory. I did not know how to use them until I took this Geodesic class. Needless to say, I did not purchase this fancy curved comb because I felt the cutting technique was more important than the tool. After returning from the hair show, I remembered that I had given the convex clipper combs away. I then began my treasure hunt for Convex Clipper combs. Annie brand #11 seems to be the only ones left on the market. These combs cost about 10 times less if you can find them. The technology is over ten years old, but like style, it recycles.
I purchased a few extra convex clipper comb packs in case others want to experiment with the Geodesic clipper cutting method without a big investment into the "G6" curved comb.

The Annie brand features left and right side combs with handles. The combs can be hung on hooks.
