STEPS

Shampoo and condition the hair with Styleshots Extreme Straight. Apply Candy Fixations Glaze Haze to the entire head. Take a horseshoe section at the high point of the recession.
Starting at the sides take slightly diagonal back sections. Comb the hair perpendicular to the parting and elevate to 90 degrees. Remove weight by point-cutting squarely to the head shape.
Cross-check before proceeding behind the ears.
