STEPS
Begin by sectioning the top from the natural part back beneath the crown. Curve around to a point below the parietal ridge at the front hairline on the opposite side.
Begin sections on the lighter side. Take ½-inch (1,27 cm) diagonal back sections that mimic the natural hairline at the face. Direct hair from the head at 90 degrees and cut to determine desired length.
Continue working toward the back using a traveling guide.
Work to incorporate the hair at the nape and stop either at the center or a point before the center if you wish to maintain maximum length.
Cross-check horizontally for balance.
At this point, everything from the opposite side will be overdirected to a now stationary guide to maintain length.
Continue to overdirect sections until they no longer reach.
Release the top. Sectioning begins at the crown, and is directed back to reveal guides from both sides that were previously cut. Slide cut to blend length.
Continue to overdirect sections until they no longer reach.
Refine the perimeter shape.
Model has natural level 5 dark blonde hair.

Beginning 1-inch from hairline, stagger two back-to-back slice partings from part to ear and apply Pre lightening Formula.
Move toward the crown and overdirect each slice parting to the original guide slice. Apply Pre lightening Formula to the midshaft and ends ONLY, using a balayage technique.
All Pre lightened foils will be overdirected to the original guide. Process to desired lightness.
Beginning in pre lightened fringe, take five back-to-back slice partings and apply: Focus Formula 2, twice; and Focus Formula 1, three times.
Begin taking chevron partings for ALL remaining slices.
Continue taking back-to-back chevron partings for a total of eight foils. Alternate Focus Formula 1 and Focus Formula 2. For the last slice parting, apply Base Formula (copper foil). Apply Base Formula to all remaining hair. Process accordingly.
