Next you will need to section the hair off into four sections starting from the nape of your neck working your way to the crown of your head making sure that the sections are as equal as possible, then you will need to determine just how short you want the style to be, you will then take you index adn middle fingers and position the hair in the middle of your fingers and extend your hand so that the hair is lifted off the head and in a downward motion you will cut as close to your fingers as possible.
