HOW-TO STEPS

•

  2

  Divide wet hair into four sections: right and left sides, upper and lower layers in the back. Pin the upper back layer at the crown and comb the lower layer straight.

• 

  
  3

  Shape the bottom layer horizontally at the base of the neck.

• 

  
  4

  Unpin the top layer and comb straight down to blend with the lower layer. Trim horizontally from the center out to the sides, unifying to the same length.

• 

  
  5

  Trim the sides at a slight 10-15 degree downward angle. Comb the hair back to trim and balance the ends behind the ear at the nape.

• 

  
  6

  Make a center part from the crown to the nape. Starting at the back and working toward the front, trim the ends at a soft, downward 15-20 degree angle.

• 

  
  7

  Section the hair mid-crown and comb up. Trim the ends straight across.

• 

  
  8

  Blow-dry with a paddle brush to smooth and straighten.

• 

  
  9

  Take large sections starting at the middle of the head. Feather ends with the scissors to add texture and finish with a center part.
