In the classic version, each subsequent strand is cut with a zero pull-back level and is 2-3 mm longer than the previous one. According to the advice of experts, the best result is achieved if the distance between the radial partings is 1 cm.
When the parting has reached the upper edge of the ear, it is continued to the area of the temples, the strand is cut at an angle in the direction from the back of the head to the chin.
To complete the haircut, comb the front strands over the face. If desired, you can round off the sharp corners of the square for lengthening; for this, combed strands are cut along a slightly curved / convex line.
