Curly Crop Cut and Color from Pivot Point International
Your curly-haired clients are on a neverending quest with their curly-q’s: they want style that embraces their curls, but can also adapt to the whims of a flat iron when necessary. This cut from Pivot Point International, Inc., is the best of both! When your client goes au natural, the cut and color harmonize in a sublime celebration of texture; when your client straightens her hair, she’s got a perfect, midlength look that doesn’t skimp on style. Here’s a how-to!
HOW-TO STEPS
-
1
The client in question has lifeless, dull hair. She’s begging for a makeover.
-

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.
