• 

  
  2

  4

  Take a vertical parting at the center nape, use high projection and slide cut. Work to the left using a mobile design line and the same techniques.

• 

  
  5

  Release a vertical parting in the center back interior. Project lengths straight out and position your fingers vertically. Sculpt using a notching technique.

• 

  
  6

  Work to the left sectioning line, then to the right using pivotal partings and a mobile design line. Project straight out and sculpt with the notching technique.

• 

  
  7

  Move to the left side. Converge the lengths to a stationary design line projected at 90 degrees from the top of the section. Position your fingers parallel to the sectioning line and sculpt with a pointing technique.

• 

  
  8

  In the right interior section use horizontal partings, perpendicular distribution and low projection. Sculpt parallel creating a stationary design line. Work to the top of this section distributing lengths to the stationary design line.

• 

  
  9

  Release a diagonal parting at the right side of the fringe. Use a guide from the right side, perpendicular distribution and low projection. Sculpt parallel to establish a stationary design line.

• 

  
  10

  Air form the hair, then take vertical partings through the interior. Distribute and project the lengths straight out. Notch to blend the front and back lengths while removing excess weight.

• 

  
  11

  Apply a Level 7 copper demi-permanent color in the crown, fringe and side sections. In the exterior section, apply a Level 6 copper brown demi-permanent color. Apply a Level 8 neutral blonde color with 20-volume (6%) developer in the triangle shape. Process, rinse, shampoo and condition.

•

  When worn naturally, the cut and color emphasize the client’s curly texture.

  Or, straighten the upper layers and style the underside for a sleek, stylish midlength ‘do.
