   Step 2: Make a natural part.

   Divide the hair into four sections.
   
   For the back sections, part the hair along the back of the head by following the hair's natural part from the crowd down.
   
   Comb out the hair to either side., With your comb, separate a small diagonal section of hair from the bottom of the back section.
   
   Comb it flat against the client's neck, letting it come to a natural fall., Using your comb, cut the hair square starting from the middle and moving to the outside edge.
   
   At the end, check to make sure that the line is straight and even., Take another small diagonal section, and comb it down over the first cut.
   
   Cut along the same straight line as the first cut.
   
   Continue doing this throughout the bob for a straight, classic cut.
