How to Cut All Over Layers

Step 1: Part hair into five cutting sections. Starting at the back of the top section use 1/2" partings across the head. Hold the hair at 90 degrees from the head form and cut to the desired length.

Step 2: Make a second parting working towards the front. Direct the first parting to the second parting and cut the second parting to the same length as the guide. Continue working from back to front of the top section until all the hair has been cut to the same length.

Step 3: Divide the top section in two from front to back and comb to the sides. This will be the guide for the side sections.

Step 4: Start at the back of the right side section. Use vertical partings 1/2" thick. Hold the hair at a 90 degree angle from the head form. Use the previously cut hair in the top section to establish the length. Work down the section, cutting every hair the same length. This will establish a guide for the rest of the section.

Step 5: Take another 1/2" vertical parting. Move the previously cut side parting to the parting to be cut. Use the previously cut side parting and the top section as a guide. Cut the hair from the top of the section to the bottom.

Step 6: Continue using 1/2" vertical partings and the previously cut parting as your guide. Work forward to the front hairline.

Step 7: Repeat the procedure on the left side.

Step 8: At the front of the rear section take a 1/2" pie-shaped vertical parting from the center of the top of the crown tot the nape. Make a second parting starting at the top section down to the bottom of the side section. This will be your guide. Direct the previously cut parting tot he parting to be cut. Cut to the same length. When you get below the side parting into the nape, you will be creating a new guide for the rest of the nape area.

Step 9: Work from right to left and continue making vertical pie-shaped partings. You should have one parting to be cut and one parting as a guide, continuing the guide down into the nape. Always move the guide to the parting to be cut.

Step 10: Follow this procedure into the left rear section. When you have completed the back, the left rear section should match the left front section.

Note: All the hair that has been cut should be the same length when measured.
