The Pivot Feather Style
C - TO - A
THE FRONT/BACK WITH LAYERS

Best:

This beautiful hairstyle is highly recommended for the busy woman and those
individuals who have the following features:

1. Natural wave 5. Small face

2. Long hair line 6. Short neck

3. Small ears 7. Medium size figure

4. Wide forehead

Why:

I was told by the experts in Europe that the beauty of the woman is in the side view
and the back of the neck. This style will expose the side view and the back. This
hairstyle will cover the long hairline and small ears. Bangs will cover a wide forehead.
A short neck and a small face will be more exposed.

For cutting instructions see Figure 1.

FIGURE 1: METHOD FOR CUTTING
The Pivot Feather Style
C - TO - A
THE FRONT/BACK WITH LAYERS

In this figure you will make three or more sections, depending on the thickness of the hair.

1. Make the first section one inch above the ear, straight up to the B-line as shown in

Figure 1.

2. Bring the entire section down as you can see in Figure 1.

3. Ask your client to bend their head forward.

4. Start cutting hair from the cutting point 1 'A inches below the hairline. Start cutting in
a pivot motion up to the B-line using the straight blade only. Cutting the section with
scissors will never give you the feather effect: short in the back and long in the front.

5. Repeat same steps on the opposite side of the head.

This style will bring beauty to the mature woman. Especially when working with naturally
curly hair. All she needs is a small amount of styling gel, shake it, and she is ready to go.
