HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1 Britni prior to the cut.
• 

  
  2 At the front hairline, take a diagonal back section through to the mid ear.
• 

  
  3 Take a central vertical section, comb to 90° and point cut, rounding with the head shape.
• 

  
  4 Continue with vertical sections and over direct to the center guide.
• 

  
  5 Repeat on the opposite side.
• 

  
  6 Create a zigzag halo section.
• 

  
  7 Using the guide to length created by the face frame. Comb the hair at the sides to 90° and block layer with point cutting.
• 

  
  8 Repeat this technique around the entire head shape.
• 

  
  9 To establish the perimeter, comb the lengths to natural fall, elevate to 45° and slice to create a soft textured edge.
• 

  
  10 Across the top of the head take horizontal sections.
• 

  
  11 Using the guide from the underneath, comb to 90°, and point cut round.
• 

  
  12 With the next section, alternate the technique by using deep C–curvature slicing.
• 

  
  13 Repeat alternating the technique, until all remaining sections have been cut.
• 

  
  14 Use a diffuser on high heat and low speed to dry.
• 

  
  15 Detail the shape with deep slicing.
