STEP 2: Take a parting from the highest point of the head to the highest point of the ear and determine your length by positioning your finger horizontally.
STEP 3: Use your traveling guide over the crown to create uniform layering.
STEP 4: The lower part of the crown is projected vertically and cut using the palm-to-palm technique.
