Elegant Soft Crop - How To (2)
Previous pageStep 15: Work approximately five sections.
Step 16: Now, work with the same technique on the under-side of the line, completing this section with a little over-direction, creating weight where the head rounds.
Step 17: Next, return to the top and continue with parallel sections, over-directing as you go.
Step 18: As you are cutting a square line, you will create corners in the side areas, which you will later refine.
Step 19: Then refine the corners, connecting the top to the side areas.
Step 20: Work free-hand techniques with the fringe area.
Step 21: Now move to the crown area.
Step 22: Take a section from the centre of the circular section to the front and, using the front area as a guide, cut a line from short to long towards the back.
Step 23: Using the front of this line as a guide, pivot the subsequent sections on either side and cut from short to long to create a conical shape in the centre of the crown.
Step 24: Repeat this process on the bottom of the circle, connecting the back to the crown.
Step 25: Repeat this process on the two sides of the circular section.
Step 26: Now dry the hair, using a Red Leopard print Corioliss dryer.
Finish: The result is a fitted elegant soft pixie cut with emphasis on the conical interior which enhances the head shape.
