3. Sleek A-Line Collarbone Cut with Internal Thinning
Setup Method
The sleek A-line collarbone cut delivers an architectural, modern design aesthetic characterized by a clean forward slant and concealed texturizing. This concept features a perimeter that is subtly shorter at the nape of the neck, angling gently downward to graze the collarbone at the front. Instead of visible exterior surface steps, this cut relies on internal point-cutting and undercut carving to remove heavy hair density from underneath the exterior mantle. The resulting silhouette maintains the appearance of a solid, blunt perimeter while providing internal airiness, allowing the hair to fall smoothly against the jawline.
Start by tilting the head forward and establishing a clean horizontal baseline across the nape using sharp shears. Section away the top crown mantle using clips, then use texturizing shears or deep point-cutting techniques on the middle occipital sections to hollow out excess internal weight. Release the upper perimeter and cut along a ten-degree forward downward angle, aligning the front perimeter with the collarbone. Apply a dime-sized amount of smoothing heat protectant serum throughout damp strands, then blow-dry using a paddle brush with downward tension. Finish by passing a flat iron through two-inch sections, beveling the ends slightly inward.
