Graham Webbââ¬â¢s hair artist team members let you in on how they created these looks. You can find all products mentioned in the Graham Webb line.
Soft Long Layers
Cut:
- Section hair into four panels, front to back and side to side. At the apex,
establish your guide at approximately 7 inches.
- Cut hair at an angle from apex to front hairline following the center parting
Go from 7 inches at apex to 5 inches at front hairline. This will become your
stationary guide line.
- Standing on the right hand side and working from the apex forward, begin
bringing subsequent horizontal sections over directed to the stationary
guide. When you have completed the front panel, go to the back panel and
repeat. Maintain your angle, working from apex back until elevated hair no
longer reaches guide.
- While remaining on the right-hand side, begin bringing hair left of the
center parting to the stationary center section; complete the left-hand side
with subsequent horizontal sections working front panel first and then left
back panel.
- Using shears, detail the perimeter and the front hairline.
Style:
- Shampoo hair using Back to Basics Volumizing Apple Ginseng Shampoo &
Conditioner.
- Spray Volumizing Root Boost into root area of damp hair. Apply Bodifying
Crme.
- Mousse throughout remainder of hair. Using a medium boar bristle round
brush, section from the nape working upward and blow dry entire head.
- Finish using Firm Hold Hairspray.
Ringlet Curls
Cut:
- Begin at nape with a ý-inch horizontal section. Using tension, rest one
finger on the back to create slight elevation and cut about 2 inches below
shoulders to allow for curl to bounce up.
- Continue to work up head form, taking ý-inch horizontal sections and
gradually increasing elevation. Connect sides by using horizontal sections
and keeping elevation consistent.
- At the apex, cut layers to the round of the head blending in at the crest
line. This enables for maximum movement in the interior
- Loosely tousle the hair while randomly point-cutting for added texture and
movement.

back of the head.
- Pivot from apex and continue until the entire back of the head has been
completed.
- Establish a center part at the top of the head and continue cutting at 2ý
inches, exiting at front hairline.
- Using traveling sections, complete sides. Begin to pivot as you reach the
front round of the head.
