The vertex is the crown area where hair naturally turns around a centre. Because hair exits in every direction across 360°, it is one of the hardest areas to plan.

Why a separate topic

  • The whorl centre must be positioned correctly
  • Channel angles change gradually from the centre outwards
  • A wrong angle produces an unnatural, “spiky” look

Planning

The crown covers a wide area, so donor capacity must be used carefully. Whether the front line and the crown are done in one session or in separate sessions depends on your donor capacity.
