The Matrix artistic team created this stunning blend of colours on Afro-textured hair by first pre-lightening. Read the formulas below to see what these used for the finished look.

Cut

1 - To create the length line, start with the head titled slightly forward and comb down to the natural fall. With no elevation, create the perimeter length by point-cutting using horizontal partings. 2 - Create a large triangular section at the high point of the head to the outer corner of the eyes, and adjacent to the top point, create a smaller triangle with the widest oints extending to the crown. 3 - In the back triangle, over-direct back and elevate. Twist the section and fan the hair outwards. Cut the ends straight and deep point-cut to soften. 4 - Release the front triangle and create a diagonal parting at the right corner. Over-direct the opposite side the maintain low elevation and surface plane along the face frame. 5 - Tease-cut the fringe and the sides to add detail and texture. Deep point-cut to blend the perimeter to section 1 and 2. 6 - Straighten hair, then knot and plait through the top, with randomly placed small plaited sections.
