Cut
	>
Before		1. A side parting was taken back to the crown and diagonal back partings were taken from the side parting to behind the ear. The front was blow-dried ready for cutting.
	>
2. Starting at the fringe, a diagonal forward parting was taken. Hair was distributed 'T' to the parting, elevated one finger's depth and point-cut parallel to the parting.		3. The last diagonal forward parting was taken to the recession area. Hair was distributed 'T' to the parting, elevated one finger's depth and point-cut parallel to the parting. The opposite side was cut in the same way.
	>
4. Sides were blended with the fringe. Hair was distributed to the natural fall, elevated 45 degrees and deep point-cut for texture.		5. This was continued on the other side.
	>
6. A central vertical section was taken at the crown. The section was distributed 90 degrees, elevated 90 degrees from the round of the head and point-cut for texture.		7. A diagonal back parting from the centre guide was over-directed to the centre, elevated 90 degrees and point-cut for texture. This was repeated on the opposite side. Hair was blow-dried with a paddle brush, then personalised by back-cutting and slide-cutting.
	>
Styling: Dry wax spray was spritzed through the hair in sections for a matte textured finish.		Alternative Styling: A radial parting was taken from ear to ear. Small sections on top were backcombed, smoothed over and sprayed for hold. The back was pulled into a tight ponytail, and length from the top was wrapped round the base.</
