00:00 We start by finding the natural parting.
00:02 We then take a vertical section here, from the crown to the nape of the neck.
00:12 Take a horizontal section from the occipital bone to the top of the ear.
00:17 Make sure you comb the rest of the hair cleanly out of the way.
00:22 Comb the hair straight down with the large end of the comb and cut it to the desired length.
00:29 In this case, we are leaving additional length to allow the perm rods to be wound in easily.
00:34 Keep sufficient tension to allow you to cut a clean line like this.
00:40 This line is the key to your haircut, and in this case is being cut square.
00:45 Keeping the hair damp, but not soaking wet, take your second section from below the crown to the temple.
00:57 Continuing to use the large end of your comb, comb the hair over the previous guideline, making sure that you can see the original guide.
01:05 Cut to the same length, and continue this straight line round to the front.
01:10 Note the position of the comb. This minimizes graduation.
01:14 Take extra care when cutting the section below the ear.
01:18 Continue taking sections in this manner, up to the natural parting.
01:22 Always being careful to follow your guideline.
01:27 Now to the second side.
01:29 This procedure is exactly the same as before, and with the same priorities.
01:35 Checking that the tension, the angle, and the length mirror your first side.
01:41 Now we move on to the internal shape.
01:44 Start from the natural parting again.
01:49 Take a vertical section from the crown to the nape of the neck like this.
01:55 Take a horizontal section from above the occipital bone to above the ear.
02:00 Take a vertical section, allowing the hair below the occipital bone to fall away, leaving the hairline intact.
02:08 Pull the section straight out from the head like this, and cut a square line from the occipital bone up.
02:16 The next section is now over-directed onto the previous one.
02:22 [Music]
02:27 Subsequent sections are pulled back and out to maintain the weight behind the ear.
02:33 Note the definition of the outline has been carefully maintained.
02:40 [Music]
02:55 Now take a section from the crown area to the forehead like this.
03:00 Return to your original guideline, lifting the hair straight out from the head, and continue your square line.
03:08 Watch how this same procedure is repeated until you reach the point behind the ear.
03:15 [Music]
03:39 Take the side sections vertically and over-direct them, joining into the hair behind the ear.
03:45 Continue working to the front hairline.
03:48 Maintain the same angle, allowing the outline to drop away.
03:54 [Music]
04:23 [Music]
04:49 Take the top sections horizontally, and over-direct back and up, and remove any excess weight.
04:56 Notice the way in which the outline is slightly beveled to follow the shape of the head.
05:02 [Music]
05:07 Over-direct each section back. This maintains the definition of your outline shape.
05:14 [Music]
05:28 Cut the second side as you did the first.
05:32 [Music]
06:01 [Music]
06:28 To ensure an even distribution of weight and balance at the crown, join each side together and continue to the front hairline.
06:36 [Music]
06:57 Over-direct each section back to maintain the definition of your outline shape.
07:02 [Music]
07:23 Our Disheveled Elegance haircut is now complete.
07:27 The layering of this haircut, combined with the heavy outline, gives a definite shape with internal freedom,
07:35 making this look highly suitable for many different hair textures, ranging from straight to curly.
