GET THE HOW-TO
Show Steps
1
Once the hair is divided by the natural partition of the hair, create a triangular panel in the frontal part of the head to realize the fringe.
Show Steps
2
Then, from the natural partition, take a vertical section just behind the ears on both sides. Then separate the nape on both sides.
Show Steps
3
In the back of the head, create a semicircle that, starting from the vertical section, goes to the center occipital bone (remember that this section must be adapted to the head shape). Let the rest of the hair fall down freely.
Show Steps
4
Panel A: Start from the back side of the head below the semicircle working with a vertical section in the center of the head. Then create a shape having the same length. Make sure that the cut line re"ects the sections. Let the hair fall down naturally without elevating; cut all at the same line.

5
Panel B: Take diagonal section on one side; let the hair fall naturally and cut at the same line without elevating. This will create a triangular section having the same length. Repeat this technique on the opposite side
Show Steps
6
Take curved sections for the fringe creating a rounded shape. Let the hair fall naturally so as to create a sole length. Each section must reflect the cut line. The fringe length must be decided according to the face type. Blow dry and refine panels A, B and C.
Show Steps
7
Panel D: Take a vertical section in the center of the semicircle and elevate keeping the fingers parallel to the head curve. In this way you’ll create a rounded layer. Each section must be overlapped to the previous one. Dry and refine this panel.

Alfaparf Acqua Trend Collection: Mermaid
Mermaid from the Alfaparf Acqua Trend Collection treats the hair like the texture of a fabric: the color technique used reminds the iridescent effect of tropical shells and shows all its irisè and ash shades. The tone changes are evident but harmonious and help enhancing the de!nition of the cut making it even sharper and more precise.
