Cut
	>		>
1. Hair was sectioned at the back of the head with a line running horizontally from ear to ear.		2. Hair in the lower half was separated into vertical sections, then slice-cut from short to long, following the shape of the head in front of the ears.		3. The upper half was merged with the layer below, using a radial layering technique.

4. Horizontal panels were separated out at the sides and secured behind the ears.		5. A horizontal layer was worked through the side, following the curve of the head up to the crown. This section was laid over the previously cut section.		6. Hair was blow-dried straight and the shape connected using a slicing technique.
Colour
