How: To achieve this cut I’d be fading from a two into a one on the back and sides, over directing from the centre parting to the sides, keeping the fullness on the corners in aid to give lift and allow hair to swept back. The importance of chopping into the top gives a raised effect to consequently creating more movement to play with. Finishing around the ears is a must! Shaping around the ears and neckline and compliment with a tapered neck.

Firstly, towel dry your hair, then push hair back from your forehead so it stands straight and blast with medium heat to create the height followed by a cool blast to lock it in. Rub a 5pence coin amount of hair product into the palms of your hands, working this thoroughly into your hands before running it through your hair to create THE RICK. For longer locks, use hair spray for a all day hold.
