Show Steps
Alex prefers short, clean cuts. Texturizing the thick interior lengths will make his hair easier to style, especially as it begins to grow out.
Show Steps
The structure graphic shows high gradation in the exterior, which blends into high graduation in the interior. The center top is sculpted with uniform and increase lengths.

Show Steps
Begin at the right sideburn area. Use the wide teeth of a large comb to project the hair at 90 degrees. Angle the comb for a high line of inclination and move the clippers across the comb. Slowly move the comb upward and outward between clipper strokes to create a high line of inclination.
Show Steps
Tilt the head forward and work through the back starting at the nape and working up. Adjust the position of the comb to work around the hairline to blend the lengths.
Show Steps
Continue working toward the left side. Angle the comb slightly to help blend the side and back lengths while maintaining the line of inclination.
Show Steps
Return to the right side and switch to the fine teeth of the comb. Position the clippers parallel to the teeth of the comb and refine the high gradation. Work toward and around the ear.
Show Steps
Work through the back. Move the comb and clippers in unison maintaining the line of inclination. Work with the freehand clipper technique to clean and refine the perimeter. Then work toward the left.
Show Steps
Further refine the perimeter lengths using the taper comb with the shear-over-comb technique.
Show Steps
Tilt the head slightly as you work through the nape. Position the taper comb and shears to blend into the high gradation. Work to the left side.
Show Steps
Move to the interior and subdivide with a center part. Visually determine the desired length and angle before continuing.
Show Steps
Take a vertical parting above the right ear. Distribute and project at 90 degrees. Position your fingers nonparallel and notch to create a length increase toward the top.
Show Steps
Move to the left side, maintaining the same finger position. Work from the ear toward the front, shifting the hairline back. Then work to the center back.
Show Steps
Connect top lengths starting in the crown. Distribute straight up and notch horizontally. Work toward the front shifting the last parting back for a length increase.
Show Steps
Distribute the fringe lengths forward. Use low projection and notch horizontally to remove the corner and blend with the sides.
Show Steps
Use the comb to lift the hair from diagonal partings while using the taper shears through midstrand and ends. Work diagonally in one direction and then in the opposite direction to texturize the interior.
Show Steps
Apply wax through the hair especially in the interior. Then use a styling comb and distribute the hair from a side part. Allow the hair to dry naturally.
Show Steps
Comb the fringe down and you have a more modern look.
