STEPS
After cleansing with S-factor Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner, apply S-factor Smoothing Lusterizer as a cutting lotion.
Take a curved diagonal section from the high recession to the top of the occipital bone on both sides of the head.
At the underneath, divide the front from the back with a diagonal forward section to the back of the ear. Starting at the back, work with diagonal back sections elevating to a layering level and working from short to long towards the back perimeter.
Continue working consistently until the curved diagonal section is reached.
Repeat the same technique on the opposite side.
In the front of the ear take a horizontal section. Working with a high elevation and using the guide from the back, continue with block layering, working from short to long towards the front perimeter. Over-direct the remaining sections from below to the stationary guide.
Repeat the same technique on the opposite side.
Shape and detail the perimeter by freehand channel cutting.
Working with pivoting sections, create a 2 inch disconnection between the crown and the nape area, by distributing the hair at 90 degrees and point-cutting, increasing the length towards the crown.
Continue removing weight in front of the ear, working with horizontal sections and leaving the top layers disconnected.
Over-direct the front hairline back in order to maintain weight in the fringe.
Repeat the same technique on the opposite side.
Blow-dry hair flat to the head with a Hardcore Paddle Brush.
Straighten hair with the Hardcore Flat Iron to smooth out the cuticle.
Personalize the entire cut with deep point-cutting and channeling.
Add movement and separation using the S-factor Creamy Molding Wax. Finish by using S-factor Vivacious Hairspray to give hold and separation.
