6. The third diagonal section was the longest front section. This was continued around to the centre back.7. The edges were softened with a razor.8. Hair was blow-dried using a flat-wrap technique. The top was trimmed with texturising scissors to blend with the bottom length.

9. Hair was sliced upwards, shortening the rest of the length in the diagonal sections, moving towards the front.10. Pieces were taken freehand and bulk was removed. Pieces were taken from the horseshoe section, pulled forward and personalised.

7. Daybreak was applied to the entire top panel.8. After hair was processed for about 15 minutes, the top section was sub-divided into two to three smaller sections, and twisted lightly to diffuse the ends. Enlightener Formula was patted onto the tops of each twisted sub-section. This was repeated on the front sectionStyling: Sections were twisted and hair was diffuse-dried, then small sections were tonged with irons and sprayed for hold.
