A hairstyle step-by-step guide to creating long disconnected layers with a heavy fringe and beautiful blonde colour by Stephanie Gallien for La Biosthetique.

Cut
	>		>
1.Hair was divided into three areas and a curved section was taken including a large fringe running to the corner of the back hairline. Two more diagonal sections were taken running down from the crown parting.		2. Following the shape of the cut, an asymmetrical triangle was taken from the point of distribution to the end of the disconnected fringe.		3. The head was tilted slightly forwards and the fringe connected to the sides, following a curved line to keep the length.

4. The top area was layered using vertical sections and the hair was cut shorter on the crown and longer towards the front.		5. Radial sections were cut through the back and connected to the top to keep the perimeter very long.		6. Hair was blow-dried and irons were run through before hair was texturised.

Colour
