Cut
	>
1. Hair is cut scissor-over-comb at the nape to create a weight line through the back.		2. C-curvature sections were taken through the sides and blended into the weight line at the back.
	>
3. Sections were taken upwards, towards the top and cut half an inch through the sides creating corners of weight. This was blended into the weight line through the occipital bone.		4. A fringe was cut to create a focal point at the centre.

5. The top was cut through to retain the height at the centre, rounding off through the sides.
Colour
	>
1. A section was taken on the right side from the recession to the occipital bone. A thistle tone was applied in a block colour from the right hand side up to the diagonal parting behind the left ear.		2. A silver violet shade was applied to the remaining hair at the front of the left ear, creating a blend of colour from dark to light.
	>
3. A triangle section including the fringe was taken. The remaining hair was coloured with an apricot tone starting at the roots. A cinnabar tone was combed through the ends to create a diffused look.		4. The triangle section was sub-divided into four triangle sections and tones of lavender, apricot and silver violet were alternated using visual stencilling.

STYLING: Hair was blast-dried and straightened with irons and firm hold hairspray was used to create the shape.
