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.

step 2
In the back section, separate the first central strand vertically, pull to 90° and cut a vertical line using the slide cutting technique.

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.

step 7
This layered technique creates a greater adherence of the hair around the head, giving light forward movement in the side areas.

step 8

step 10
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.

step 11
Distribute the small fringe section forwards and downwards, take a guide strand and cut, creating a medium diagonal.
