How it is done

  1. 10:00Shampoo and condition, check the scalp for leftover residue, then apply a thermal heat protectant and a serum.
  2. 20:30Detangle and blow-dry the hair using a comb attachment on the dryer.
  3. 31:00Once the hair is fully dry, go over it with a paddle brush to smooth it, then add a lightweight oil and a heat-protecting shine spray.
  4. 41:29Flat iron the roots a few times, then make only one pass down the length to limit heat damage.
  5. 51:59Section cleanly from ear to ear just above the occipital bone and start the cut at the back.
  6. 62:27Over-direct the hair back as you cut so the front stays longer, and point cut the ends for soft movement instead of a blunt line.
  7. 73:52Break the back into thin sections and cut each one to the first section as your guide, keeping finger angles consistent.
  8. 84:51Shape the back into an upside-down V, then follow the guide to angle the front sections longer.
  9. 96:25Add longer texturizing layers for movement, keeping the front layers longer so they do not stick out when tucked or tied up.
  10. 107:52Style it with a swoop instead of curls, pulling the hair to one side for a wispy, feathered finish.
