A hairstyle step-by-step guide to cutting and colouring this playful crop with a smooth asymmetric fringe by Gary France of Toni & Guy

 | > |  |
| 1. Protein spray was applied as a cutting lotion. | 2. A centre-back vertical section was taken from the crown down to the nape and point-cut to the required length. | |
 | > |  |
| 3. Diagonal forward sections were taken and the line continued around to the top of the ear. Front sections at the side were left disconnected. | 4. Top sections were overdirected towards the crown to maintain the length at the front. | |

| 5. Hair was personalised by channel-cutting. | ||

| 1. Hair was pre-lightened. Three curved triangle sections were taken either side of the hairline and through the fringe. A Peach colour was used to edge the back perimeter hairline, creating strength. | 2. The side sections behind the triangle section was block coloured with Wood Rose to create softness within the shape of the hair cut. | |

| 3. A triangle section was taken from either side of the hairline, the larger triangle was taken from underneath the fringe to create a richer outline through the hair and a deeper base for the lighter fringe to fall over. | 4. Both triangle sections were block coloured Deep Peach Tingery. The fringe was then coloured using a salmon tone. | |

| Styling: Hair was blow-dried smooth then dressed with matte paste | ||
