Start at the crown area and take horizontal back-to-back slice partings. On the first two slice partings apply formula three. On the next slice parting apply formula two.
Continue to take back-to-back slice partings; two formula one, two formula two, two formula three and end with three formula four foils. Include all of the top section and fringe.
-
3
Proceed to the crown area at the back and place one slice parting of formula four. This will be the darker shade, to fall over the lighter base color. Artistic interpretation and haircut will determine three options to weave, slice or to delete this step.
-
4
Proceed to the side section. Working diagonally, take a weave parting of the base color and clip away. Pick up the points of the weave and apply formula two for one parting.
-
5
Continue to take diagonal slice partings; apply formula one for two slice partings, formula three for two slice partings and formula four for two slice partings. Do not leave any base color at the perimeter area.
-
6
Proceed to the opposite side section and repeat steps 3 and 4.
-
7
Proceed to the back section and take a V section. Working slightly below the occipital bone, take diagonal slice partings. Apply formula two for one slice parting, formula one for two slice partings, formula three for one slice parting and formula four for two slice partings. Make sure to incorporate all of the perimeter hairline.

8
On the opposite back section, repeat the same procedure as in step 6.
