HAIRCUT STEP-BY-STEP
Step 1: Release to contour lines and section the interior part in 5 sections.
Step 2: Starting at the exterior, use vertical partings and project the hair up to a 120-degree angle to create a stationary guideline and increase length. Comb the front hairline back to blend the side and keep the sideburn length.
Step 3: Project the hair 90 degrees, use the razor parallel to the fingers, and follow the curve of the scalp.
Step 4: Follow the curve of the scalp working towards the front hairline. Rough dry hair and apply Formula 2 on the entire head.
Step 5: Using perpendicular partings, razor cut on both sides by cutting horizontally.
Step 6: Project the hair to the ceiling and point cut. Release fringe and project vertical to connect to the guideline.
Step 7: Comb the hair to a natural fall and point cut to create a soft asymmetric fringe area.
