The horn haircut - Point cut the nape

Step 12: Work with horizontal sections, carefully building weight.
 
The horn haircut - Refine the outside areas
 
Step 13: Once the hair is dry, visually refine the longer left outside areas.
 
The horn haircut - Cut with a pointing technique
 
Step 14: Work internally, loosening the shape with a pointing technique. You should have developed a slight bi-level shape, layered and rounded into the nape with areas of length dropping down. These dropped out areas will depend on density, quality of hair and section size and can be varied according to taste.
 
The horn haircut - Cut the fringe section
 
Step 15: Next, work on the fringe section. Dry the hair in order to work with the natural fall of the hair. Take horizontal sections and cut a curved line at eye level with the points of your blades.
 
The horn haircut - Increase graduation around the fringe
 
Step 16: Now slightly elevate these sections to increase the graduation around the fringe area for a softer looser finish.
 
The horn haircut - Longer top areas and shorter side areas
 
Step 17: Continue this process back to the crown area. Notice how the two longer areas in the top fall over the shorter side areas.
 
The horn haircut with square and round internal layers
 
Finish: Characterised by ease, Lee has created a bi-level interchangeable cut with defining square and round internal layers.
