Preparing the hair 

2 

Sectioning the hair 

Cut the hair into a short, sharp, 

bob incorporating an asymmetrical 

fringe. Remove the bulk of the hair 

using thinning scissors, which is a 

perfect way of thinning out the hair 

without cutting off too much. The 

slight graduation to the cut will give 

the style strength. 

Create a bow arc section two 

fingers away from the hairline. The 

section should be on an 

asymmetric angle, following the 

shape of the head. 

3 

Forming a bond 

4 

Bleed the bonding through the hair 

by pushing up from beneath, 

bringing the hands together. Pinch 

top and bottom and roll between 

the fingers to form a solid bead 

using both hands. Repeat until a 

solid row of extensions are 

created. 

Fringe placement 

Apply 3 rows of extensions using an even blend of ash 

blonde and warm brown (Racoon Euro colours 42, 45 

and 24) to match the models natural hair colour to 

achieve a fuller and thicker fringe.

Finished section 

When the section is completed the 

model should be left with solid rows 

of extensions in a bow arc with no 

gaps, all the extensions should be 

touching. By using Racoon’s unique 

micro bonding technique, the bonds 

are so subtle that they will be barely 

visible, perfect for delicate extensions 

work such as this. 

6 

Cutting 

7 

Cut the extensions on a graduated 

asymmetric angle from a sharp 

point just above the eyebrow to a 

sharp point at the cheekbone. 

Finishing off 

Finish with clippers in order to 

achieve a really sharp, blunt 

edge.

Cut the hair into a classic, slightly 

graduated, box bob. The 

geometric angles of the blunt fringe 

and 45 degree angular points at 

the front should be finished off with 

clippers in order to achieve a blunt 

finish with a soft edge. 

Section off the top layer of hair, 

from the temple to the crown, in 

preparation for the placement 

patterns. When sectioning off the 

placement patterns, always work 

with the models growth pattern.

Small 

triangular section 

Create a small triangular section on the right side of the 

head. The base of the triangle should be at the top of 

the head and the point towards the ear as the placement 

is not to create length but to achieve a sharper point in 

the final cut. 

4 

Large triangular section 

Create a large triangular section on the left side of the 

head, in a reversed angle to the right side. The base of 

the triangle should be at the front of the head and the 

point towards the crown, in order to create more weight 

and hair at the front. Having a larger section on one side 

will create a strong asymmetric angle to the finished 

style..

triangular section, work the 

extensions diagonally across from 

the temple to the crown, which will 

ensure the hair falls forward on an 

angle. Ensure the rows are solid 

throughout the section, with the 

top 3 rows scattered. 

Use a razor to remove the bulk of 

the length and weight. Then razor 

the ends of the hair to create two 

perfect asymmetrical points.

Before applying the extensions, 

remove the weight line by cutting 

into the perimeter, this will make it 

easier to seamlessly blend the 

extensions and natural hair. Point 

cut the line of the cut, which is a 

great way to prep hair for 

extensions as it lightens the hairline 

and creates texture, enabling the 

extensions to blend naturally. 

Section the hair into one offset 

reversed triangle at the front of the 

head, leaving a two finger gap from 

the front of the hairline. The 

asymmetric angle of the triangle 

needs to be positioned with the 

base of the triangle towards the 

crown and the point of the triangle 

at the temple.

Colour placement 

Apply a blend of Plum and Claret Vibrant Euro Extensions (Racoon 

colours E70 and E76) throughout the section in order to create a 

dramatic colour placement.
