1. Before

CUT

2.  Take a radial section from ear to ear and a horizontal section above the occipital bone.

3. Starting at the nape take horizontal sections and cut a slightly rounded line at 90 degrees. Continue working with even tension around the whole section.

4.  Continue working up to the crown.

5. The side panels are asymmetrical. Comb the hair into its natural fall and cut in a slight diagonal line.

6.  Continue combing the hair into a natural fall on both sides and cut a stronger diagonal line.

7. Blow-dry the hair, then blunt-cut half the fringe at the desired length. Cut the rest of the fringe in a step at the desired length.  

8. Refine and shape the neckline.
