  Begin by parting off a 1 to 3 inch section around the entire perimeter of the head and clip out of the way. This is section 1, an “option area” used with the Self-Tour Discovery Process.
  
  Make section 1 thick enough to allow for creativity. The remaining hair will become section 2.

• 

  
  3

  Predetermine the perimeter design of the low elevation wedge in section 2. This is the interior cut (doesn’t include section 1). Comb all of the hair in section 2 into a natural fall.

• 

  
  4

  Begin at the shortest point of your perimeter design. Comb the hair to a 1 finger elevation and cut the design.

• 

  
  5

  Continue around the head. Do not cut any hair in section 1 at this time. 

• 

  
  6

  Check the cut by combing all of the hair in section 2 in every perimeter design line direction so there are no longer pieces.

• 

  
  7

  Comb the hair out from the head in vertical sections and gently soften the top corner with a shear. Do this throughout section 2.

• 

  
  8

  Cut section 1, the option area perimeter line, by combing the hair in section 1 straight down and cutting it at the desired length.

• 

  
  9

  Personalize the cut by framing the front fringe perimeter in an apposing line to the interior perimeter design line. Soften as desired with a razor.

• 

  
  10

  This cut has a harder edge in the back hairline section to appose the softness in the front. An asymmetrical back was cut using a scissor over comb technique.
