Work from the crown to the front hairline, keeping the layers parallel to the head. When working on the front hairline, pull the hair back. This will help you keep more length.
Next, work down from the top of the crown towards to occipital area, keeping your layers parallel to the head.
Using your scissors, point cut the ends of the hair to create texture and softness.

Tip:
The length of hair you leave on the top area will depend on the end result your client is looking for.
