HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Before

• 

  
  2

  Apply Moroccanoil® All In One Leave-In Conditioner as a cutting lotion. Then, start sectioning by isolating the fringe section and clipping it away. 

• 

  
  3

  Create a horseshoe parting and secure the hair above the parietal ridge.

• 

  
  4

  Establish a central-vertical parting from the horseshoe parting to the nape.


• 

  
  5

  Using diagonal-forward partings, extending from the occipital bone to behind the ears, create and secure a section at the nape.

• 

  
  6

  Secure the hair between the diagonal-forward partings and the horseshoe.

• 

  
  7

  Release the hair below the diagonal-forward partings. Using horizontal subsections, distribute the hair “T” to the parting, elevate the hair to 45 degrees and use the razor to establish the guide.

• 

  
  8

  Using horizontal subsections and a traveling guide, continue to razor-cut the hair until reaching the occipital bone.


• 

  
  9

  Release the hair between the diagonal-forward partings and the horseshoe. Using horizontal subsections, distribute the hair to natural fall, hold the hair to 0 degrees and use the razor to establish a stationary guide.

• 

  
  10

  Working upward and following the stationary guide, continue the cutting technique until reaching the horseshoe parting.

• 

  
  11

  Establish a new guide along the parietal ridge. Then, above the parietal ridge, work with pivoting radial subsections and use varying distributions and elevations to create an increased-layered effect through the interior. Check for balance

• 

  
  12

  Use the tip of the razor to remove excess weight throughout the cut.
