3. Pick up your guide and cut the occipital and nape areas, separating the sections with vertical partings (shown).

7. Cut the hair in the occipital area by over-directing it to your control section locate the middle of the head (back).
8. Moving to the frontal and parietal areas, divide the hair into two horizontal partings. Separate a horizontal section of hair from the hairline and comb it straight back to the back section.Trim to this section's guide (shown). This will be your cutting pattern for the frontal and parietal areas.
