HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Pre-section profile view. Note the isolated areas, a horseshoe section on top and the left and right front areas.

• 

  
  2

  Pre-section back view. Note the isolated curved nape section and the entire middle back area.

• 

  
  3

  Elevate the entire curved nape section 90-degrees vertical with your hand up against the head to ensure proper elevation.

• 

  
  4

  With a 90-degree finger angle, cut a horizontal line and work without over-directing.
  

• 

  
  5

  Divide the back area in the center and cut the entire right back section with the elevation 90-degrees vertical and finger angle 45-degree diagonal. Note the over-direction behind the ear to maintain length behind the ear.

• 

  
  6

  To create a guide for the left back area, take a piece from the left top of the back area and a section from the right top area. Marry the three sections in the center back and cut.

• 

  
  7

  Note the center back piece from the right back area and the guide just created at the top left back. Now connect the dots.

• 

  
  8

  Cut the left back section connecting the two dots with an elevation 90-degrees vertical and a 45-degree diagonal finger angle. Once again, note the over-direction behind the ear to maintain length behind the ear.

• 

  
  9

  Comb the right front vertically to set up the over direction in the front. Now connect this into the right back area.

• 

  
  10

  Elevate the back with the front 90-degrees vertical connecting the front into the right back area.

• 

  
  11

  Repeat the same in the left front area combing vertically to set up the over direction in the left front.

• 

  
  12

  Note a back view of the left front area connecting into the back left area. Elevation 90-degrees vertical and finger angle 45-degrees diagonal.

• 

  
  13

  Before cutting the top horseshoe area, apply Redken aerate 08 bodifying cream-mousse and blow dry by wrap drying with a flat paddle brush.

• 

  
  14

  Note profile view. The top horseshoe area will be cut at least two inches longer than the center back. Do not connect.

• 

  
  15

  Work with horizontal sections across the top horseshoe section, elevation 90-degrees vertical, and deep point cut to create a soft diffused horizontal line.

• 

  
  16

  Note the elevation at the base of the crown is 90-degrees vertical. Continue to deep point cut each horizontal section, over-directing to a stationary guide to maintain length in front to complete the shape.
