Step 1
Sectioning
Take a section from the top of the ear to
above the occipital bone. Then take a
section from above the temples in a Vshape,
running to a point on the previous
section.
This sectioning allows you to break down
the haircut into manageable parts, which
can then be easily blended.
Step 2
Start with a centre section in the back,
from the crown to the nape. Pull the hair
out and slightly down, with the fingers
angled towards the nape.
Step 3
Next check the line for accuracy as this first
section provides balance for the entire shape.
