| CUT - Step One: Create a concave section at the top of the head, and cut the base length at the nape. | Step Two: Use a vertical section to define the inside shape in a graduated angle. | Step Three: Continue with a star-shaped section, building up weight at the back of the head. Work up to the first section and behind the ear. |
 |  |  |
| Step Four: Define the base length at the ear and minimally graduate the sides to create as much definition as possible. | Step Five: Define the length at the top of the head in an elevated line. Create a new length, remaining disconnected from the bottom section of the haircut. | Step Six: Blow-dry the hair straight then connect the top sections to the bottom sections using a pointing technique. Use the previous angle to overdirect the hair and retain the shape of the haircut. |

| Step Seven: Section off the rectangle at the parting, ensuring it is in the middle of the section. Next, section off a further rectangle making it a little wider than the first. | Step Eight: Create a star-shaped section at the back of the head around the crown. | Step Nine: Apply La Biosthetique Tint & Tone 8/27 8BV light blonde beige violet with 9% 30 vol to the roots at the nape and contour. |

| Step Ten: In the wide rectangle at the top of the head, work in horizontal alternate slices with woven highlight, using X-Dream Highlifting Cream + 3% 10 vol and slices with11/07 11NV extreme light natural blonde violet + 0/00 clear with 6% 20 vol. Apply 8/27 8BV light blonde beige violet with 9% 30 vol to the roots. | Step Eleven: Working vertically in the narrow rectangle, apply 7/21 7BA medium beige ash blonde with 3% 10 vol to 2cm of the roots. Colour the rest of the hair with 11/07 11NV extreme light natural blonde violet with 12% 40 vol. Leave the tips untreated. | Step Twelve:Repeat the previous step on the star-shaped section at the back of the head. |
