4. Cut sections 3&4

-Position the client’s head upright.

-Drop sections 3 and 4.

 -Subsection the hair if you cannot see the guideline clearly. Remember that higher density requires smaller subsections. You should always be able to see the guide.

 -Comb the hair into gravity, following with the scissors held in secondary position.

 -Secure the hair at the center of the back by placing the large teeth of the comb through the hair and against the client’s neck.

 -Using secondary scissors position, cut to the guideline. Remember to cut at 0°.

 -Again, cut from the center to the right, and then from thecenter to the left.

 -Check the balance in the mirror and make corrections before continuing.

5. Cutting by the ear

-When cutting by the ear, hold the hair with the wide teethof the comb to produce light tension. Allow the ear to protrude and let the hair fall loosely. (Tap by ear)

6. Cut sections 5&6

-Drop all remaining hair.

-If the hair is dense, subsection as necessary.

-Comb the hair into gravity and evenly distribute it.

-Using secondary scissors position, cut to the guideline (not above or below) starting at the back center.

-Cut from the center to the right front hairline, and thenfrom the back center to the left front hairline.

-Check the balance in the mirror and make final corrections as necessary.
