   Begin by parting off a 1 to 3 inch section around the entire perimeter of the head and clip out of the way. This is section 1, an “option area” used with the Self-Tour Discovery Process.
   
   Make section 1 thick enough to allow for creativity. The remaining hair will become section 2.
3. 3
   

   Predetermine the perimeter design of the low elevation wedge in section 2. This is the interior cut (doesn’t include section 1). Comb all of the hair in section 2 into a natural fall.
4. 4
   

   Begin at the shortest point of your perimeter design. Comb the hair to a 1 finger elevation and cut the design.
5. 5
   

   Continue around the head. Do not cut any hair in section 1 at this time. 
6. 6
   

   Check the cut by combing all of the hair in section 2 in every perimeter design line direction so there are no longer pieces.
7. 7
   

   Comb the hair out from the head in vertical sections and gently soften the top corner with a shear. Do this throughout section 2.
8. 8
   

   Cut section 1, the option area perimeter line, by combing the hair in section 1 straight down and cutting it at the desired length.
9. 9
   

   Personalize the cut by framing the front fringe perimeter in an apposing line to the interior perimeter design line. Soften as desired with a razor.
10. 10
    

    This cut has a harder edge in the back hairline section to appose the softness in the front. An asymmetrical back was cut using a scissor over comb technique.
