    Divide panel A into diagonal sections following the head shape. The cutting line must be rounded, shorter at the forehead and ending slightly longer at the back of the head. Work around the head, continuing to lift the sections higher and higher to create a soft graduation.

    forehead on the other side. Cut a shorter fringe than panel A to create a sharp and visible disconnected perimeter. See an additional view on the next page.

    Start from the back of panel C, using section A's perimeter as a guideline. Cut a diagonal line, moving the sections forward and overlapping them with the hair on the side of the head; in this way the hair will go from short to long toward the forehead.
