Cut

1. Cutting lotion was applied to hair and a square baseline was cut o create external strength.		2. Using a teardrop technique, hair was gathered at the crown and cut to desired length. This creates a cascading layered effect.		3. Hair was combed forward from the crown and cut to create a long fringe using a club-cutting technique.

4. The sides of the hair were brought forward and using the fringe as a guide, both sides were connected to create a soft feminine look around the front of the face.

1 Hair was divided into two by taking a large rectangular section the width of a foil, reaching from the crown to the front recess area and secured. A series of deep zigzags were created on the remaining hair underneath from ear to ear.		2.
