First

1. Wet the hair.

2. Part the hair from the center front hairline to the center back hairline. This is called the center part.

Second

Apply Sections 1 and 2

1. On the center part, find the occipital bone, which is the

bone that protrudes above the nape.

2. Using the wide/coarse end of the comb, part the hair

along the occipital from just below the occipital bone

to the right hairline (approximately to the mid to upper part of the ear) at a slight diagonal.

Below this parting is section 1.

3. Using a clip, fasten the hair out of the way.

4. From the same point on the occipital bone, part to the

left hairline.

This is section 2.

5. Clip section 2.

6. Check that the sections are the same size and shape.

Last but not least

1. Find the point on the parietal ridge that crosses the

center part.

2. From the center point on the parietal ridge, part the hair

parallel to section 1.

This is section 3.

3. Repeat on the left side for section 4.

Continue holding the comb.

4. Check that the partings are neat and the sections are

balanced.

5. Isolate the remaining hair by clipping each of the

remaining sections.

These are sections 5 and 6.
