00:00 Welcome to the line with graduation technique.
00:02 This shape continues the line series
00:05 and explores the possibilities that are opened up
00:07 by combining these two techniques in their purest form.
00:11 Determine the natural parting by combing the hair
00:14 away from the face as shown and pushing gently forward.
00:18 This will allow the hair to fall into its natural position.
00:21 Now reestablish the line that's to be cut.
00:25 Continue the low side parting into the center,
00:28 then divide the hair through the center back.
00:30 Take a horizontal section.
00:37 In order to produce a square shape,
00:39 this section should be slightly inverted.
00:42 This will also compensate for the roundness of the neck
00:45 and the inclination of the head.
00:47 Keep the head tilted forward.
00:49 Comb the hair down onto the neck
00:51 and cut a line that mirrors the angle of the section.
00:54 Cut the line to the desired length and angle.
00:58 At this point, both sides of the back can be cut together,
01:01 or alternatively, one side can be
01:04 worked through in isolation.
01:06 However, keeping the hair consistently damp,
01:09 having an overview of the balance,
01:11 and an even inclination of the head
01:13 would be factors that should be considered.
01:15 Extend the line into the corner, taking care
01:18 not to round up the line due to the head being tilted forward.
01:23 Now take a parallel section and comb down onto the guideline.
01:27 The hair can be secured onto the skin
01:29 with one of the following techniques--
01:31 the back of the hand, which will give maximum tension,
01:34 or as in this case, one or two fingers,
01:37 which will give less tension.
01:39 With either method, use fine sections
01:41 and always follow the guideline.
01:42 Now continue to the top of the ear.
01:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:53 Now repeat this procedure for the second side.
02:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:06 At this point, check the balance of the shape.
02:17 Now move back to the first side.
02:20 Take a parallel section and, combing the hair down,
02:23 start to lift the hair out.
02:26 This will produce a graduated effect.
02:29 Now cut a line using the underneath hair as a guide.
02:32 The degree at which the hair is lifted
02:34 will be determined by the desired result
02:37 and the density of the hair being worked upon.
02:41 Comb the hair down and check the shape visually.
02:44 Now take another section parallel to the previous one,
02:48 lift the hair out, and cut a line
02:51 that's lifted slightly higher in the center
02:53 and slightly lower through the corner.
02:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:58 Cross-check the shape so far.
03:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:06 Now continue with the same sectioning and cutting procedure
03:20 up the back of the head.
03:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:24 As the corners are reached, re-cut the hair
03:33 and cut the hair in the desired shape.
03:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:39 As the corners are reached, re-establish
03:41 the graduated cutting line by cutting on the skin.
03:45 Now cross-check the whole shape so far.
03:48 Remember, cross-checking should refine, not alter,
03:51 the cutting line.
03:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:55 Now move on to the sides.
04:00 With the head in a natural position,
04:02 cut the hair in the desired shape.
04:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]

07:19 used for the first side.
07:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:23 Now cross-check as before, horizontally from the back.
07:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:39 Now prepare the hair for blow-drying
07:41 by damping the hair with a suitable finishing product
07:44 and combing into place.
07:46 Now use a wrap-drying technique that starts from and employs
07:50 the same sections as the cut.
07:53 Use tape to hold the hair in place.
07:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:58 Now use a wrap-drying technique that starts from and employs
08:02 the same sections as the cut.
08:04 Use tape to hold the hair in place.
08:06 Now use a wrap-drying technique that starts from and employs
08:09 the same sections as the cut.
08:11 Use tension to control the mid-lengths and ends of the hair
08:14 and give natural root lift.
08:16 The resulting smoothing of the cuticle
08:18 will make the hair shine.
08:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:23 And here is the finished result, a shape that
08:26 exudes understated luxury.
