Curly Cut and Rich Red

Create a halo section that starts at the round of the forehead and runs across the crown.

Comb everything down to 0 degrees, and cut the baseline in a square, turning the head to the side and connecting through.

Taking vertical sections, lift the hair above 90 degrees and cut concave layers.

Continue layering without overdirecting until you reach the ear, then bring the remaining hair on the sides back to the previous guide.

Carve out a fringe that starts at the nose and connects to the outline.

Lean the head forward, combing the hair toward the front, and continue refining the fringe.

Start in the crown with horizontal sections, using the previously-cut hair as the guide. Lift hair up and back, then cut a flat layer. Continue using a stationary guide until you reach the hairline.

At the high point of the crown using horizontal sections, lift the hair up and connect to the sides continuing to the hairline.

Using vertical sections at the top of the head, connect the crown to the fringe.

Pivot around the head to cross check.

Taking vertical twisted sections, slide through to remove weight and release texture.

Start with a halo section, leaving out 1.5 inches of hair, and apply Formula A with foils following a circular pattern and using a heavy weaving technique.

Drop the next 1.5 inch section using a light weaving technique and following the same circular pattern.

Continue to the next 1.5 inch circular section, and foil using Formula B in a heavy weaving technique, making sure to stay away from the part.

With one long stroke, backcomb and apply color to the ends in foil.

Drop another 1.5 inch section leaving a diamond shape at the top of the head that is subsectioned into quadrants, then apply a medium weaving technique to all remaining sections.

Between the foils on the top, backcomb and apply Formula C to the ends.
