A Growing Salon designer demonstrates a long leaf cut on a mannequin, step by step from the back to the fringe, and explains why a long shape still has to read as a men’s cut.
Key points from the video
- Divide top and bottom along the two-block line, then split front and back at the ear-back point.
- Cut the back length in a straight, square line. A rounded line turns the look soft and feminine.
- Cut parallel to the neckline at a low angle, holding the hair on-base to the section.
- When practising on a mannequin, leave the fringe longer than usual, because a mannequin head is smaller than a real one.
