Cut
	>		>
1. Following the curve of the head, hair was divided into three circular sections.		2. The lower section was razor-cut following the curve of the head from the middle of the forehead to the nape, creating a rounded outer edge.		3. Vertical sections were taken at the back of the head and a reversible layer was cut into the hair, following the curve of the head to the ears.

4. Starting with the middle section at the back of the head, vertical sections were taken, working from short to long. The middle circular section was disconnected.		5. Starting on the top circular section at the highest point of the crown, a layer was created close to the crown from short to long. The top circular section was disconnected.		6. Hair was blow-dried and cut freehand to personalise.
Colour

1 A line was created running diagonally from the crown to the ear on both sides. Tint & Tone was applied to the nape in equal parts of 5/1 5A light ash brown and 6/2 6B dark beige blonde with 6% (20vol).		2 Working around the crown in a zigzag pattern to separate out the shorter sections, Tint & Tone was applied in equal parts of 5/1 5A light ash brown and 6/2 6B dark beige blonde with 6% (20 vol). Hair was then covered in foil.		3 A circular zig-zag section was created to separate the longer areas of the haircut. Tint & Tone was applied to the roots in equal parts of 6/2 6B dark beige blonde and 7/3 7G medium golden blonde with 6% (20 vol).

4. La Biosthetique Color and light soft mix with 6% (20vol) was applied to the ends and covered with foil.		5. Another circular zig-zag section, parallel to the previous section, was taken and Tint & Tone applied in equal parts 6/2 6B dark beige blonde and 7/3 7G medium golden blonde with 6% (20 vol) from the roots to the tips.		6. Tint & Tone was applied in equal parts of 5/1 5A light ash brown and 6/2 6B dark beige blonde with 6% (20 vol) to the front contour.
