STEPS

Pre-section profile view. Note the isolated areas, a horseshoe section on top and the left and right front areas.

Pre-section back view. Note the isolated curved nape section and the entire middle back area.

Elevate the entire curved nape section 90-degrees vertical with your hand up against the head to ensure proper elevation.

With a 90-degree finger angle, cut a horizontal line and work without over-directing.

Divide the back area in the center and cut the entire right back section with the elevation 90-degrees vertical and finger angle 45-degree diagonal. Note the over-direction behind the ear to maintain length behind the ear.

To create a guide for the left back area, take a piece from the left top of the back area and a section from the right top area. Marry the three sections in the center back and cut.

Note the center back piece from the right back area and the guide just created at the top left back. Now connect the dots.

Cut the left back section connecting the two dots with an elevation 90-degrees vertical and a 45-degree diagonal finger angle. Once again, note the over-direction behind the ear to maintain length behind the ear.

Comb the right front vertically to set up the over direction in the front. Now connect this into the right back area.

Elevate the back with the front 90-degrees vertical connecting the front into the right back area.

Repeat the same in the left front area combing vertically to set up the over direction in the left front.

Note a back view of the left front area connecting into the back left area. Elevation 90-degrees vertical and finger angle 45-degrees diagonal.

Before cutting the top horseshoe area, apply Redken aerate 08 bodifying cream-mousse and blow dry by wrap drying with a flat paddle brush.

Note profile view. The top horseshoe area will be cut at least two inches longer than the center back. Do not connect.

Work with horizontal sections across the top horseshoe section, elevation 90-degrees vertical, and deep point cut to create a soft diffused horizontal line.

Note the elevation at the base of the crown is 90-degrees vertical. Continue to deep point cut each horizontal section, over-directing to a stationary guide to maintain length in front to complete the shape.
