Cut

1. The baseline was cut to the required length to create strength through the perimeter.2. Sections were brought down and elevated to create a stack of graduation.

3. This was continued, working sections towards the crown and disconnecting lengths from the perimeter.4. The front area was round-cut to create a face-framing shape, then twist-cutting was used throughout the shape to break up the texture and bring out the movement within the hair.


Colour

1. A triangular section was taken through the fringe and the low recession to the top crown, to create a horseshoe section. Working below the horseshoe section using a root-stretch technique, the first colour, Copper, was applied to the root area.2. Working through the mid-lengths and ends, Flamed Copper was applied to create the feeling of a dipped perimeter.

3. Working through the sides, Copper was applied at the roots in slices, alternating between lightening and applying Coral to the hair.4. This was continued until all the hair was coloured. Pre-lightened hair was then toned with Yellow Gold.
