00:00 Welcome to the Graduation with Line Technique.
00:03 This hair shape continues the Graduation series and shows how graduations and lines can be
00:08 combined to not only produce a modern shape but also form the basis for many other variations.
00:15 Prior to shampooing, make a thorough assessment of hair growth and hairline patterns, paying
00:20 particular attention to the hairline and through the front.
00:24 At this point, make a decision on the hair length.
00:29 Start the natural parting by combing the hair back and pushing slightly forward.
00:34 Now take a vertical section and then two diagonal sections that will form a triangle beneath
00:39 the occipital bone.
00:41 Comb the hair straight out and cut a line at the desired length and angle.
00:45 The length and angle of the first section will be the guide for the rest of the haircut.
00:54 Take a second section parallel to the first, comb the hair out and slightly back and cut
01:00 using the first section as a guide.
01:13 Now continue towards the back of the ear.
01:24 Notice how the sections have radiated to become more horizontal.
01:28 Notice also that the hair in the center and the back of the head is lifted slightly higher
01:33 than the hair behind the ear.
01:34 This creates a gradual change in weight buildup.
01:46 Once a point just below the crown level is reached, the sections extend through into
01:50 the side.
01:52 Continue using the previously cut hair as a guide.
01:58 Allow for the ears by gently pressing the hair as shown.
02:07 Hold the hair in the fingers to continue the graduated line through to the front.
02:12 Now continue through to the front hairline.
02:15 Due to the fineness of the hair, the next section incorporates the natural parting.
02:28 Now continue using the previous hair as a guide.
02:47 Now continue with the same sectioning and cutting procedure for the second side.
03:14 Check the shape regularly for balance and symmetry.
03:36 Now continue up to the original parting using the same cutting and sectioning procedure
03:40 as before.
04:01 Refine the hair.
04:31 Refine the outlines by using a pointing technique.
04:47 Once the outline has been established, check the graduation and remove any excess weight.
05:05 By using a wrap drying technique which will produce natural root lift.
05:10 After the wrap drying stage, control the mid-length and end by turning the hair under.
05:15 The blow dry will be more even if both hands are used for either side.
05:24 Once the blow dry is complete, check the entire shape including the area around the crown.
05:29 Lightly dust off any excess length.
05:43 Check through the outlines with the pointing technique.
05:50 Check the graduation by working from the corners into the center.
05:54 Then finally check the area around the crown to ensure the balance in this area is correct.
06:10 And here you have the finished result.
06:12 A shape that epitomizes Sassoon technique.
