Blue Velvet : Rockabilly Technique

Separate the hair using the "Halo" technique, which is a circular separation around the top of the head, then a separation at the back, two on the sides and one in the fringe area.

In the back section, separate the first central strand vertically, pull to 90° and cut a vertical line using the slide cutting technique.

Using the traveling guide, proceed in the same way over the entire back section.

STEP :4 Separate the first strand from the right side vertically, pull it perpendicularly over the stationary guide and cut, creating a front diagonal line.

Proceed over the entire right side section using the same technique.

Use the same technique on the left side, repeating all of the procedures symmetrically.

This layered technique creates a greater adherence of the hair around the head, giving light forward movement in the side areas.

Divide the first strand from the circular section horizontally, pull to 180° and cut, creating a gentle left diagonal.

Proceed in the same way with the following strands, alternating the cutting line.

This cutting technique, called criss-cross, created alternated layers, giving multi-directional movement to the hair, with different effects, depending on the type of diagonal cut that can be created on each strand: gentle, medium or strong.

Distribute the small fringe section forwards and downwards, take a guide strand and cut, creating a medium diagonal.

Proceed with the cut, modifying the diagonal from medium to strong.
