    Begin by sectioning the front of the hair from ear to ear.  Just below the crown from side to side, create a new section and secure it with a clip.  Take a deep V section beneath the crown, encompassing the entire occipital and nape area, leaving out a section behind each ear.

    This sectioning technique creates two large triangles, one in the crown area and the other one at the back of the head.  The fringe area is clipped away, securing it in front of the ear.

    Starting wiht the triangular section at the back of the head, cut the first section to create graduation.  Subsequent sections are cut working toward the center back of the head using the previously cut section as a guide.

    The fringe is slightly longer on one side and is textured, not solid.  It is important to visually adapt the fringe to each individual client.
