00:00 Welcome to classic layering. This pure hair shape epitomizes the layering series and forms the foundation upon which all further
00:07 applications of this technique are based.
00:10 Check the head shape, hair growth and hairline patterns, paying particular attention to the temple areas as the layering through this
00:18 area will need to allow for any fineness present. Also make a decision on the hair length.
00:24 Find the natural growth pattern and take a section that works vertically from the crown to the front hairline.
00:30 Lift the section straight up and cut a line that's shorter at the crown and longer towards the outline.
00:36 This is the guideline for the rest of the haircut.
00:48 Now take a second section that starts at the same point but pivots around the head to the front hairline. At this point,
00:56 depending on the head shape, either lift the hair straight out or over direct slightly onto the previous section.
01:03 Continue with the chosen cutting method until the side hairline area is reached.
01:14 Continue lifting the section straight out and follow the head shape.
01:16 Work with this pattern until the section forms a line that joins the crown to a point just behind the top of the ear.

02:01 Moving to the back, use the previous section as a guide and lift the hair straight out.
02:05 Cut a line from the crown that follows the shape of the head.
02:09 Allow a certain amount of length in the nape and use the natural growth patterns to produce a natural looking hairline.
02:16 Continue around the head with vertical sections, slightly flattening the head shape.

02:57 When the center of the back is reached, take time to assess the shape so far, making any adjustments where necessary.
03:04 Now for the second side.
03:07 Return to your original guideline and use the same method of sectioning and cutting as for the first side.
03:12 Bear in mind that the hand position on the second side will be different. Make sure that this doesn't impact on the shape.
03:19 Whilst working, pay particular attention to balance and symmetry.

04:11 To balance and refine the fringe area, take a fine vertical section and cut a line that
04:16 continues the layered internal shape.
04:23 Subsequent sections radiate around the front hairline and are over-directed very slightly
04:28 towards the centre.
04:41 Repeat this procedure on the second side of the fringe area.
05:02 Once both sides are complete, cross-check the entire shape using the following methods.
05:07 For the internal shape, start at the front hairline and work back to the crown.
05:19 Repeat this process through the sides.
05:33 Now work from the nape hairline back up to the crown, keeping the length in the corners.
05:54 If the hair needs additional finish, prepare for the blow-dry by damping the hair down
05:59 with a suitable finishing product and combing the hair into place.
06:03 In most cases, wrap-drying the hair will be sufficient.
06:06 If necessary, the ends can be very lightly bevelled.
06:16 Finally, use a pointing technique to define the outline, including the fringe.
06:37 If necessary, use the same pointing technique to diffuse the internal shape.
06:49 And here you have the finished result, a pure technique producing a delightfully tousled shape.
