    In section B, create an elongated triangle section behind the ear, keeping the top point even with the hairline and the bottom width even with the hairline (including the hairline). The width of the bottom should be no wider than ½ inch on finer hair textures or 1 inch on thicker hair textures.

    In section A, starting on either side, create ¼ inch slices, apply Super Meches+ + 20-volume Oxido in back-to-back foils. After every third back-to-back foil packet, omit a section. Continue to the top of the head. Repeat on the opposite side, again omitting a slice as before.
