Step by step guide on how to cut "The Channel" from Lee Stafford, myhairdressers.com
‘The Channel’ is an amazing technique for
curly hair. Soft, understated and unique. It
works equally well on all hair - wavy,
straight, thick or fine - breaking the shape
beautifully and allowing the hair to be light
and free.

Katie before the cut.
Step 1
The sectioning for the Channel is tricky and
time consuming, but worth it as the hair cut
is very simple.
The first section starts from the high point
of the head and starts the circle that runs
around the crown approximately three
inches in diameter with the crown in the
middle (approximately).
Step 2
The second section is determined by the
side in which the way the hair swings.
You go off of the circle and this will make
your first section in which up from this you
make a rectangle section approximately
half an inch depth.
Note: There is only one rectangle in this
whole sectioning pattern.
Step 3
The rest are triangular and very similar to
that of a Backgammon Board. Back to
Back, Top and Tail.
