Step 3 of 17 - Creating a baseline

< Previous step | Next step >

Sectioning is now complete.

We start the haircut, by keeping the hair wet at all times, we cut the hair onto the skin.

As seen in the photograph, we cut from the inside out to create a pyramid baseline. In this case we have created a short point in the centre and a long point on the outside remembering this is reverse graduation technique, where each section gets progressively longer, enabling the hair to turn under.

As we work up the back of the head, each section is slightly directed to the longest point, so when the hair returns to its natural position, each section will be progressively longer, (see hair travel).
