Stacey Broughton’s salon creative tutorial is an innovative disconnected layered shape on textured hair. The hair is elevate and cut from shorter to longer to maintain length and weight around the perimeter outline. This is worked on both sides moving toward the front with varying degrees of elevation with disconnection in the sides. In the central section cut a line from short in the front to long in the back, then a parallel section cut from short to long working from back to front in an opposite manner. This technique creates a loose broken fringe shape. The top section is connected in the crown area which is disconnected from the side section, to create the final result of a luxurious, loose, romantic, quintessentially feminine look resonating of casual street chic with home done undertones.

Before

Emma before the haircut. We have chosen not to use protective clothing in order that the body position of the model can be clearly seen. This may have health and safety implications.

Step 1 - sectioning

Section from the temple lobe area on both sides, then move around the parietal ridge and back down to a point where the head rounds below the crown and above the occipital bone. Then zig-zag the fringe area, which will create a diffused fringe of longer and shorter areas.

Step 1 - sectioning continued

Step 3Pull the section out, the top part will be ninety degrees and the bottom will be elevated and cut from shorter to longer to maintain length and weight around the perimeter outline.

Step 2

Start in the centre-back from the point to the nape. In this instance, Stacey has decided the desired length to be approximately 17 cm.



Step 4

Continue with vertical sections from the centre, working around towards the ear. As you proceed, increasing the over-direction back and up.

Step 5Once you reach the corner of the bottom hairline disconnectapproximately 5 cm to support the perimeter shape.

Step 7Continue with this process until you reach the mastoid area just behind the ear.

Step 6

Note: on this first disconnected section Stacey brings down the hair to assess the length.



Step 8

Repeat this process on the second side.

Step 8 - continued

Step 10Return to the initial side and, using the previous section as a guide and with the same elevation and slight over-direction, continue with the internal shape.

Note: Stacey continues to disconnect the last 5 cm.

Step 9

Cross check your work horizontally, ensuring the same elevation.



Step 11

Continue with this process until you reach a vertical section on the top of the ear.

Step 12

Repeat this process on the second side staying aware of balance, angles and over-direction.

Step 13 - continued

Step 13

Return to the first side and continue this process using vertical sections with elevation, over direction and disconnection through to the front hairline.



Step 14

Cross check horizontally to check the balance.

Step 15

Repeat this process on the second side.

Step 17

Connect the side areas back and down.

Step 16

Work the perimeter outline shape in the back with a pointing technique through your fingers to create a broken solid line.



Step 17 - continued

Step 18

Now work with the fringe area.

Take a central section and cut a line from short in the front to long in the back.

This forms the shortest length in the fringe.

Step 20

Continue to alternate the short area from front to back and work all the way through the first side in the top.

This technique creates a loose broken fringe shape.

Step 19

Take a parallel section and cut from short to long, working from back to front in an opposite manner.



Step 20 - continued

Step 21

Work with the remainder of the top section.

Use a guide from the centre of the underneath and cut from short to long towards the fringe.

Step 22 - continued

Step 22

Take parallel sections on either side of the central section, over-directing to the first section.

Note: because Stacey over-directs this top section back it naturally falls over the shorter underneath. This provides texture and volume to the flatter internal shape.



Step 22 - continued

Step 23

Use a variety of freehand techniques to refine the shape.

Finish

The final result is a luxurious, loose, romantic, quintessentially feminine look resonating of casual street chic with home done undertones.

Step 23 - continued
