In lesson one Tim Hartley demonstrates how three tiers of disconnection can sit in perfect harmony to create a powerful modern Elvis-inspired finish. This lesson features pointers on position of graduation, fading, disconnection and balance between extreme lengths. The result is a modern high sided quiff, with a pronounced high fade.
