Step 1
Start with a vertical section in the side and
work a tight square shape with the fingers.
This initial line will provide a guide for later
blending.
Please note that Stacey chooses to work his
section in two parts, starting with the top
and working down to maintain angle
accuracy.
Step 2
Continue with parallel vertical sections
towards the front hairline, being careful to
maintain your square finger angle in
relation to the side of the head shape. This
results in a flat graduated side area.
Step 3
Check your work visually. Be careful to
check the shading which can indicate
weight distribution, especially with
barbering.
Please note the squareness of both the
vertical and horizontal aspects.
