  Comb the top section to the natural part, then take vertical sections, twisting each one and carve* through the hair to create a soft disconnection with a freehand technique.

  (*when carving be sure to close the scissors and don’t slide-cut the hair)

  11

  Begin with a horseshoe section that runs below the parietal ridge and above the occipital bone. Leave the area below the occipital bone untouched as to not affect the haircut. Starting above the ear, working in 1-inch diagonal sections, use a slicing technique at the hairline to apply Formula A in foils.

  Continue from the center and work toward the back of the head. Alternate between two and three ribbons and apply color at an angle to minimize the line of demarcation at the scalp. Then repeat on the other side.
