Get The Steps
1. Create an off-center radial parting and separate the hair into four sections.
2. In the back, overdirect all the sections toward the parting.
- The hair closest to the parting should be the shortest since it doesn’t have to travel.
- The hair behind the right ear should be longer since it has to travel to the parting.
- The hair behind the left ear should be the longest because it has to travel the farthest.
3. In the front, start on the longer side. Take a section by the parting, using a guide from the back and connecting it to the length in the front. Then, overdirect the next sections toward the first section you cut.
4. Repeat on the shorter side.
