Step-by-Step: 


Cutting the Fringe

  • Prepare the hair with Surface All In Leave-In Conditioner as the ultimate cutting lotion for detangling and control.  
  • Section hair at the front corner of each side ridge and create an arc.  
  • Working with the fringe section as a whole, create a 1/4-1/2" section in the center and bevel under with a razor at the bridge of the nose.  
  • Use the razor to swing the remaining hair on each side (front to back).  
  • Use the RZ Fine Blender (or a similar texturizing shear) to blend the fringe, gliding the Blender in the same direction as your fringe. 

Styling the Blowout 

  • Prepare the hair with Surface Blowout Primer and Blowout Gel Mousse.  
  • Rough dry the hair approximately 80%.
  • Section the hair and, using a round brush, blow dry each section towards the face.  
  • After each section is dried, set it with a velcro roller.  
  • Allow the hair to cool for 20 minutes to set the style.  
  • Finish with Surface Blowout Dry Oil Spray to lock in your style and add tremendous shine.
