HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Sectioning: Take a center parting that extends from the front hairline to the nape. Next, take an A-line parting from occipital to the middle of each ear.  Establish perimeter length using shallow point cutting.

• 

  
  2

  Beginning in the center back using a 1-inch subsection, elevate the hair at 45 degrees and cut. This will be a stationary guide for this section. Using ½-inch subsections, overdirect hair back to this stationary guide and cut.  Work from center out to both sides.

  Using guideline from previous section, elevate the hair at 90 degrees from the head and cut straight. Complete entire section using a traveling guideline.

  Create another parting that extends along the parietal ridge. Taking a guideline from the previous section, elevate the hair at 90 degrees and cut. Working around the head, complete entire section using a traveling guideline.

  On dry hair, using a guideline from back top section, direct hair forward and surface plane to blend layers.  Complete entire top section.

  6

  Take a triangular parting at the front that extends from just past the high point of the head to the corner of the eyes. Freehand cut to remove weight and create a soft fringe.
