- 1Step 1 of 19
Take a horseshoe parting at the recession to under the crown. The position of horseshoe will vary depending on head shape.
- 2Step 2 of 19
Beginning in the center back, comb the hair up from the underneath perpendicular and establish a block layer guideline at one finger’s depth.
- 3Step 3 of 19
Continue the block layering through to the front hairline.
- 4Step 4 of 19
Blow-dry the hair to begin the scissor-over-comb technique.
- 5Step 5 of 19
Starting in the center nape, scissor-over-comb using the wide teeth to eliminate excess length.
- 6Step 6 of 19
Continue through to the sides, slightly tilting the teeth of the comb out from the head as it travels toward the block layering.
- 7Step 7 of 19
For better control at the ear area, fold the ear down. Hold the hair in the comb, detail the perimeter of the hairline and continue around the ear.
- 8Step 8 of 19
Repeat the scissor-over-comb technique using the narrow teeth of the comb, working the length shorter and further blending the graduation.
- 9Step 9 of 19
Continue the scissor-over-comb technique through to the sides.
- 10Step 10 of 19
Use the texturizing shear to rework the shape to soften the graduation.
- 11Step 11 of 19
Use the trimmer to remove any excess hair that grows outside the natural hairline.
- 12Step 12 of 19
Tighten up the hairline with a barbering comb for a natural finish.
- 13Step 13 of 19
Take a profile into a radial parting. Establish a vertical section and comb perpendicular. Use the guide to length from the block layer and point-cut square.
- 14Step 14 of 19
Continue with pivoting sections and repeat the technique, following the guide through to the radial parting.
- 15Step 15 of 19
Take a profile section from the crown through to the front hairline. Comb perpendicular, elevate to 90 degrees and using the guide to length at the crown, point-cut square.
- 16Step 16 of 19
Take horizontal sections across the top, using the guide to length from the profile. Comb perpendicular, elevate to 90 degrees and point-cut square, working from side to side.
- 17Step 17 of 19
Overdirect the last two sections back to the previous. This will help retain length at the front hairline.
- 18Step 18 of 19
Finish at the sides. Comb to natural fall, elevate to 45 degrees and point-cut the disconnected length at an angle, from short to long.
