Step-By-Step:
Step 1: Cut perimeter and establish the shape by creating a straight line on the back of the hair.
Step 2: Cut the sides using a back diagonal line.
Step 3: Using the French technique, establish the shape on the perimeter and follow by cutting the layers on the interior from the top to bottom.
Step 4: Following the shape of the head, cut using vertical sections.
Step 5: Establish length at the top hair by cutting in a straight line on the center of the head.
Step 6: Using the previous step as a guide, cut the rest of the hair using a curved angle that is eight to ten fingers length from the top.
Step 7: Continue by using a gradual angle and cutting around the head to connect the top to the perimeter length.
Step 8: On selected strands, use a horizontal part on the sides to perform a texturizing technique that is about 2/3 inches from the scalp.
Step 9: Use a mixture of 18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Paste and Wax to add volume and texture, then apply water to help distribute the product from roots to ends.
Step 10: Let it dry naturally or use a diffuser to decrease frizz.
Step 11: Finish with 18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Hair Spray for support and hold.
