2. Take a 4-inch circular area from the crown. Subdivide into 1-inch vertical sections and pull up. Drop the section (to reach) and point cut in to the ends, removing 2-3 inches from the length. Using a traveling guide toward the sides, while slightly overdirecting each section back toward previous section, create internal layers to give the appearance of thicker hair.
