HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Shampoo and condition the hair using Colour Combat Dumb Blonde. Apply Control Freak serum as a cutting agent to the entire length of the hair.

• 

  
  2

  To start the cut, take a central parting from the crown to the nape.

• 

  
  3

  Take a slight diagonal section from the occipital bone to the back corner of the hairline. Comb the hair 90 degrees to the head shape and elevate to a 45 degree angle. With the finger position parallel to the head shape, blunt-cut to remove length and weight.

• 

  
  4

  Continue with diagonal sections towards the crown. Over-direct each section back to the previous one. Use a stationery 45 degree angle elevation to progress the shape from the nape towards the sides.

  Continue with diagonal sections towards the crown. Over-direct each section back to the previous one. Use a stationery 45 degree angle elevation to progress the shape from the nape towards the sides.

• 

  
  6

  On reaching the ear level and the crown, take a diagonal section from the crown to the low point of the recession.

• 

  
  7

  Continuing with vertical subsections, keep distribution and elevation consistent and blunt-cut
  to remove length and weight.

  From the ear forwards overdirect the sections back to maintain length through the front perimeter.

•

  Now take a vertical section at the crown. Comb and elevate this section 90 degrees to the crown and with the finger position square to the head-shape, build weight into the nape by slide-cutting from the bottom upwards.

• 

  
  11

  Continue with pivoting sections towards the sides and front.

• 

  
  12

  Overdirect each section back to the ear level, elevate to 90 degrees to the round of the head and remove weight.

• 

  
  13

  Note the change of hand and body position and repeat the same technique on the opposite side.

  Now at the top of the head take radial sections. Cross-check whilst removing additional weight
  from the top of the head, working from a shorter length at the crown to a longer length at the front perimeter.

  After power-drying, use a TIGI PRO large round brush to smooth out the cuticle.

• 

  
  20

  Starting at the center back, work with pivoting sections and point-cut to remove weight from
  the graduation weight-line.

• 

  
  21

  Shift this technique gradually to the top and sides, to soften and blend the overall shape.

• 

  
  22

  For a shattered look, further soften the perimeter using point-cutting.

• 

  
  23

  The fringe is detailed by parallel point-cutting at a low elevation.

  Apply Candy Fixation Glaze Haze to add shine and separation. To give volume and support to the finish, apply Candy Fixation Sugar Dust and blast with the hairdryer.
