03Dale Ted Watkins' men's haircut is a progression from the two previous haircuts in lessons 1 and 2, utilizing the shape in the sides from the short back and sides look. Dale works a scissors-over comb crop throughout the top. The crop is further tailored using razoring and freehand cutting to suit the client’s head shape and features. The key is to work against the grain of the hair growth for an even shape to achieve a classic Suedehead style haircut, which is essentially a long crop with an edgy feel for your younger clients.
