Step 1
Take a horizontal section across the back
from the occipital bone to behind the ear.
Then a curved section from the crown to
above the temple. These sections are
created to break down the head shape and
to facilitate accurate cutting angles.
Apply suitable protective clothing.
Step 2
Take a vertical section in the nape area and
cut a square line parallel to the head shape
- please note for more difficult hairlines
adjust the elevation level.
Step 3
Next take a horizontal section which will act
