Before

Start by washing with SEVEN haircare RINZU®️ Color Shampoo and Conditioner for deep conditioning and moisture, then towel-dry the hair.

Prep with SEVEN haircare ARMURE®️ LEAVE-IN Conditioner Spray for moisture and strength, applying all over the hair.

Then, apply SEVEN haircare SATARA®️ Seal Spray to lock in the moisture. 

Comb through to evenly distribute the product.

Create a horseshoe parting and clip the hair out of the way.

Section the hair on both sides from the ear forward and create two subsections directly in front of the ears. Then, take a section from the occipital bone to the parietal ridge, leaving out the hair below.

Starting in the back, begin removing the bulk of the length following the hairline at zero elevation.

Then, use a scissor-over-comb technique and cut at a 90-degree angle. Leaving 1/4-inch of length at the nape, continue blending until you reach the occipital—this is where you will create the weight line following the round of the head.

Cut the weight line by leaving 1 inch of length and overdirecting the comb at a 45-degree angle. Use this as a traveling guide and work horizontally.

Release the subsections on both sides. Working in 1/4-inch horizontal sections, blunt-cut at a low 45-degree angle to build weight and create disconnection.

Release the section from the occipital bone to the parietal ridge and separate down the center. Continue with the same cutting technique working in 1/4-inch horizontal sections, cutting at a low 45-degree angle and moving up the back of the head to build graduation.

Release the horseshoe parting and take horizontal 1/2-inch sections following the established length at the occipital.

Use a traveling guide and continue working from crown to hairline. Take each section horizontally and overdirect to the 90-degree guideline at the crown.

Release and cut horizontal sections at the parietal ridge, working up to the top of the head and overdirecting into the low 45-degree guide. Continue to work up the round of the head to build square graduation. Repeat on both sides.

Take a 1/2-inch horizontal parting following the hairline, overdirect at a 90-degree angle and cut parallel to the side of the head. Continue working through the fringe and overdirecting the hair to this point. Repeat on the other side.

Then, cross-check the square graduation using scissor-over-comb throughout the sides.

Texturize the fringe by working in vertical sections and slide-cutting through the ends using the heel of the blade.

Then, use clippers to create a V-shaped neckline.

Apply pea-sized amounts of SEVEN haircare SATARA®️ TEXTURE Cream and GAZAR®️ DIAMOND Serum, then blow-dry the hair forward using a Denman brush to smooth out the hair and emphasize the dramatic fringe.

On dry hair, slide-cut to texturize throughout the front.

Style the hair with SEVEN haircare BORATO®️ FIBRE Matte Paste, pushing the hair forward.
