HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Before

• 

  
  2

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

• 

  
  3

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

• 

  
  4

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

• 

  
  5

  Comb through to evenly distribute the product.

• 

  
  6

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

• 

  
  7

  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.

• 

  
  8

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

• 

  
  9

  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.

• 

  
  10

  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.

• 

  
  11

  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.

• 

  
  12

  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.

• 

  
  13

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

• 

  
  14

  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.

• 

  
  15

  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.

• 

  
  16

  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.

• 

  
  17

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

• 

  
  18

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

• 

  
  19

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

• 

  
  20

  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.

• 

  
  21

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

• 

  
  22

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