1970s-Inspired Voluminous, Textured Cut from Alfaparf

Got this tutorial from Behind the Chair:




Sectioning - Figure 1


Divide the hair into two symmetrical diagonal sections from the
temples to the neck. (Panels A, B, D-see next step)
Divide panel B into 2 symmetrical triangles. (C panels)



 


 Sectioning - Figure 2


Divide the hair into two symmetrical diagonal sections from the
temples to the neck. (Panels A, B, D)
Divide panel B into 2 symmetrical triangles. (C panels)





 Cutting Step 1

Divide panel A into horizontal sections that run parallel to the shoulders. Bring all of the hair into the first section, which serves as the guideline






 Cutting Step 2

Divide panel B into diagonal sections that are parallel to each other. Bring all of the hair to the first guide section.



 

Cutting Step 3

Panel A: Take a vertical section from the center of the panel and raise it so that your fingers are parallel to the round part of the head. Use the center section as a guideline. Layer all the sections over the guideline section.




Cutting Step 4

Panel B: Using the crown of the head as the guiding section, trace parallel and diagonal sections, creating a gradually increasing separation from panel A.



Cutting Step 5

Panel C: Create a vertical, graduated cut by layering all the sections over the previous ones to create more volumes in the side panels. Panel C is totally separate from and shorter than the rest of the cut.




Cutting Step 6 - A

Panel D: Using the central line of the bangs as a guide, divide panel D into internal diagonal sections. Layer all the sections over the guide to create rounded bangs.




Cutting Step 6 - B

Finally, make sure the edges are even.
