TECHNICAL STEPS
-
STEP 01A
Take a delta section from the high point of the recession to the occipital bone.
-
STEP 01B
-
STEP 02
Starting at the side, work pivoting sections around the ear. Comb and elevate the hair to 90˚ to the head. Establish the layering guide, working from short to long towards the perimeter.
-
STEP 03
Continue towards the back, over-directing each section to the previous section. This increases the length and weight towards the ears.
-
STEP 04A
Note the change of hand position. Repeat the same technique on the opposite side.
-
STEP 04B
-
STEP 05
Cross-check the balance before proceeding.
-
STEP 06
Behind the ear, work with slight diagonal back sections. Over-direct the hair slightly forward and, using the guide to length from the ear, layer the back while slightly increasing the length in the nape.
-
STEP 07
Continue towards the centre back using the same technique, over-directing each section forwards to the stationary guide behind the ear. This increases weight and length at the centre of the nape.
-
STEP 08
Note the change of hand position. Repeat the same technique on the opposite side.
-
STEP 09A
Release the top section and take a central vertical section from the forehead to the occipital bone. Starting at the fringe, comb and elevate the hair 90˚ to the head and use deep point-cutting to establish a round layering guide.
-
STEP 09B
-
STEP 09C
-
STEP 10
Continue layering forwards from the back, always working with horizontal sections.
-
STEP 11A
Comb the hair perpendicular to the parting and elevate at 90˚ to the head. Complete the internal layering by deep point-cutting, using the guide from the centre and following the head shape.
-
STEP 11B
-
STEP 11C
-
STEP 12A
Keep the body positioning and repeat the same technique on the other side of the head.
-
STEP 12B
-
STEP 13
Now take a triangular section at the front and create a square fringe using a razor.
-
STEP 14
Blow-dry the hair smooth with a TIGI PRO Small Paddle Brush.
-
STEP 15A
Personalise the entire shape using slicing and point-cutting.
-
STEP 15B
-
STEP 16
Detail the fringe with deep point-cutting. Apply Joyride to de-frizz and control the texture. Finish with Flexi Head Hairspray.
