3. Step-by-Step Cutting Instructions

1

Establish Base Length

With client sitting upright, cut a 2cm horizontal guideline at the nape of the neck. Ensure it's perfectly horizontal using a comb as a guide.

2

Cut Back Section

Working upward, take 1cm sections and cut at a slight angle (5 degrees) to create movement. Maintain length approximately 2cm longer than guideline for each new section.

3

Create Side Sections

Moving to sides, take diagonal partings at 45° angle. Cut 3cm longer in front than back to create face-framing effect. Ensure both sides are balanced by cross-checking.

4

Layer Creation

Elevate hair at 90° angle from scalp. Cut in a curved line, removing 3-5cm more at crown than ends. Use point cutting technique (holding scissors at 45° angle to create texture).

5

Texturize and Refine

Use thinning shears on the outer 2cm of hair ends, focusing on thicker areas. Hold shears at 30° angle and make small cuts 1-2cm apart to reduce bulk without changing shape.

4. Finishing Techniques

Apply curl-enhancing mousse evenly through hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends
Use diffuser attachment on hair dryer at medium heat and low speed setting
Scrunch curls while drying to enhance natural texture and volume
Apply small amount of anti-frizz serum to ends once completely dry

5. Styling Tips

Daily Volume: For maximum volume, use a curl-enhancing foam and flip head upside down while diffusing. Focus airflow at the roots.

Formal Styling: For special occasions, use a 1-inch curling wand on select pieces to create definition. Wrap curls away from face.
