Creating the base perimeter;
STEP 1:
Start by cutting a baseline with a clipper and a comb, working flat to the scalp from the temple area to the occipital area.
STEP 2:
Add your number 1 guard and work from the hairline up to the baseline.
STEP 3:
Work freehand from the hairline up to just below the baseline.
STEP 4:
Rework the other side of the head and add in a new part, working from the recession line to the crown. Start this side from the center-back and work towards the temple. Working from the temple to the occipital bone creates a diagonal line, like a diamond shape.
STEP 5:
Repeat the same steps on the side by adding a number 1 guard to your clipper and work just below your baseline. Then freehand from the hairline to the base.
STEP 6:
Once the baseline is complete, refine the perimeter by freehand, clipper and comb and the use of the number 1 guard. With the filler blade go around the hair line area and remove any stragglers. Top area
STEP 7:
Keep the hair uniformly wet and comb it backwards.
STEP 8:
Comb the hair into the parting downwards in angle working from shorter at the crown to longer at hairline, using your baseline as a guide. This gives you length in the middle of the haircut and takes the length off the sides, allowing the hair to go back.
STEP 9:
Blow dry the hair back and then refine and retouch any lines you might have left. To eliminate any weight in the hair use blending shears over comb.
STEP 10:
Mix The Player styling gel with the Dandy pomade this gives the hair extra hold while keeping the hair malleable. Use the product to flatten the corners of the haircut - the rockabilly shape is created manually.
