1. A horseshoe section was taken on top of the head.		1.2 Two narrow crescent shapes were created on either side of the head below the parting and secured.
	>
1.3 Starting at the neck, the entire un-clipped area was cut scissor-over-comb.		1.4 The crescent shape was released on the right side and deep point-cut. This was repeated on the other side.

1.5 Working on the horseshoe section, a 1in vertical sub-section was taken from the back crown to the front hairline.		1.6 Starting at the crown, the shortest point was taken to establish the start of a travelling guideline. Hair was cut at 90 degrees, pivoting around the crown and slide-cut from short to long throughout the top area.

1.7 At the longest point along the front hairline, hair was slide-cut to remove weight, soften layers and create movement.		1.8 Styling Matte clay was rubbed through with fingers to create definition and a jagged effect.
