Pivot Point details the Copper Cascade cut technique with layers and color
The brand presents a step-by-step guide to creating the layered cut with a copper finish, focusing on scissor precision and the strategic use of sections.
In the international professional beauty scene, Pivot Point has released a detailed technique for executing the Copper Cascade cut. The proposal combines a luxurious layered style with specific coloring, offering barbers and stylists a practical guide to reproduce the look with technical precision.
The process begins with preparing the hair, which must be air-dried and smoothed using a paddle brush. Next, the professional should make a center parting and another vertical one, extending from ear to ear. The front section is divided into two parts, each tied in a ponytail at the forehead line, ensuring organization during the cut.
The cutting execution starts at the nape, where the area below the occipital protuberance is isolated horizontally. After defining the guide length at the center of the bangs, the scissor-over-fingers technique is used with fingers in a diagonal position to create progressive layers. This movement is repeated on both sides of the face and on the upper sections of the head, maintaining connection between the areas.
To finalize the structure, the hair is combed forward and receives deep cuts at the ends, known as point cutting, which promote a soft visual blend between the inner layers and the outer perimeter. The goal is to eliminate hard lines and ensure a natural and fluid finish.
The coloring step complements the cut with the application of a global copper tone on the remaining hair. A diagonal zig-zag section in the back receives a darker shade along the length, adding depth and dimension to the final result. This combination of scissor technique and pigment defines the signature of the Copper Cascade.
