Dawn’s hair has grown out from a previous shorter hairstyle. She would like a fresher, shorter style that offers versatile, textural movement. - 2Step 2 of 13
Part vertically in the center back, distribute and project at a high angle. Position your fingers along a high angle and sculpt parallel. Work toward the left to the middle of the ear. Then work from the center back toward the right with the same technique. - 3Step 3 of 13
Move to the left side section. Use diagonal-forward partings and converge to a stationary design line at the middle of the ear. Repeat on the right side. - 4Step 4 of 13
In the crown take a pivotal parting from the left, adjacent to the sectioning line. Project at 90°, position your fingers for a length increase toward the right and notch. - 5Step 5 of 13
Near the end of the first parting only, adjust your fingers to connect to the longer lengths from the right exterior. - 6Step 6 of 13
In the front interior, part parallel to the sectioning line. Establish a stationary design line, which increases in length from right to left. Converge all lengths back to the stationary design line and notch. - 7Step 7 of 13
Dry the hair, then take a diagonal parting extending from the right side across the fringe to the middle of the left eye. Notch an asymmetrical curved line using natural distribution and comb control. - 8Step 8 of 13
In the crown, use wide pivotal partings, part approximately 90° and point cut. Work from the center to either side. - 9Step 9 of 13
Alternate level 7, copper and level 6, red colors within an off-center, eye-shaped section. Apply level 5, copper brown to the back and to a crescent-shaped section behind the fringe. Apply level 4, red-violet brown to the remaining lengths. Process, rinse, shampoo and condition prior to styling.
