HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Create a triangular section between the ends of the eyebrow arches and the vertex. Separate a thin strand on both sideburns. Trace a line from ear to ear passing through the vertex.

• 

  
  2

  Create a horizontal line from the tip of each ear and divide the section on the nape.

• 

  
  3

  Divide the rear part of the crown area from the section that lies below it.

• 

  
  4

  Start the cut in the front section. Comb the hair straight down and cut square at the bridge of the nose.

• 

  
  5

  Using the fringe length as a guide, cut the two side sections square.

• 

  
  6

  Using the previous side section as a guide, cut the back section diagonally, lifting the hair in vertical subsections.

• 

  
  7

  Following the guide, cut the crown area by lifting diagonal sections radiating from the center like the spokes of a wheel.

• 

  
  8

  Divide the nape section in half vertically. Lift vertical subsections and use the length of the rear perimeter as a guide.

• 

  
  9

  Lift vertical sections in the nape area from side to side and layer the section, using the section above as the length guide.

• 

  
  10

  Now texturize this section with a razor, leaving approximately 2½ inches of length.

• 

  
  11

  Shape the sideburns, leaving them long and wispy.

• 

  
  12

  Work through the entire cut, use shears to texturize and remove weight.

• 

  
  13

  Create a front triangular section as shown. Apply Formula A to this section and lift to Level 9-10.

• 

  
  14

  Formula A (Decolorizer)
  -Decolor B Cream
  Formula B (Toner)
  -Framcolor Eclectic 9PE + Activator Extra

•
