In Atlas—the new trend release from Joico International Creative Directors Damien Carney and Sue Pemberton—Damien creates a graduated cut with a modern, head-hugging silhouette. "The longer internal lengths are perfect for placing defined color areas or zones," he says. "The result is a super hi-def, reflective hair surface and an ultra-modern, futuristic shape."

Proceed to the opposite side of the head and repeat the process. Continue to elevate each parting to avoid excess weight and bulk. Note: In the areas behind the ear and around the nape, the partings are overdirected to create extra length, weight, and an asymmetrical back area.
