  Begin by sectioning the front from the back using a vertical parting that extends from the high point of the head to just behind the ear. Then divide the back of the head in half horizontally just above the ear. From here, create three triangle subsections in the nape with the center triangle pointing downward. Next, create three triangular subsections in the back, top section (at the crown area) with the center triangle pointing down toward the nape of the head.

On the shallow side create two triangular subsections by dividing the side with a diagonal forward parting. On the other side (the heavy side), create three triangle subsections, using diagonal forward partings.
