STEP-BY-STEP
Back of the Head
Using the Sam Villa Signature Series 7" Dry Cutting Shear and Wide Cutting Comb, cut out your disconnection with a shear over comb technique. Cut the entire area to the depth of the comb evenly
Using an adjustable clipper with the blade set to most open position (position that leaves the hair longest) work from the hairline up towards the parietal.
At the top of this section, keep the blade angled away from the head to avoid creating any lines and to create the blend with your shear over comb length.
Next, use your clippers with the adjustable blade closed to scoop out the bottom. Work this length about half way up the vertical plane of the side of the head and again rock the blade away at the top of the section to blend.
Continue towards the back of the head creating a nice soft curve towards the back of the head with your weight line.
With the Sam Villa Signature Series Razor and the Straight Edge Blade, clean up the neckline and blend to the shortest area of your clipper work.
Top and Crown
Comb hair into natural fall.
Establish your desired length in the fringe.
Beginning in the center of the head take a ½ inch vertical section.
Comb each section straight up at 90 degrees.
Working in radial partings, connect crown length to the length in the perimeter and use deep point cutting to create texture and movement. Continue throughout the top and crown area.
