3. Using a clipper with extended knives create a gentle transition from the edges of long hair to the trimmed areas at the temples and back of the head.
4. Uncut hair is combed forward, cut with scissors using the strand-by-strand method, separating from each other with vertical parting, moving from the crown of the head to the face.The crown is trimmed, separating the strands with radial parting. The length of the hair at the crown is taken as a basis.
5. In the region of the crown, the angle formed from the hair is removed, moving towards the bangs. The strands are separated horizontally.
6. Decorate the bangs, making it straight or torn (thinning).
7. The lower part of the nape and neck cover is completely shaved off.
