Show Steps
In the center nape, use vertical partings and medium projection. Position your fingers along a medium line of inclination and sculpt parallel. Work from the center to the left, then to the right.
Show Steps
Return to the left side and take a slight diagonal parting. Use perpendicular distribution with medium projection. Use the previously sculpted parting as a stationary design line and razor etch. Repeat on the other side.

Release a pivotal parting at the left side sectioning line in the crown. Distribute and project the hair at 90 degrees, position your fingers parallel to the curve of the head and notch.

Move to the left interior parting and take a diagonal-forward parting parallel to the sectioning line. Use a length guide from the crown with perpendicular distribution, high projection and a parallel finger position. Razor etch a stationary design line.

Air form the hair. Take horizontal partings in the top, distribute the length approximately 90 degrees and point-cut to visually blend.
