I'm just not sure on this one...
l´ensemble de la chevelure est dégradé-effilé en commençant par le bas de la nuque pour conserver la longueur des recouvrements.
Le but est de surfoncer d´un demi ton les pointes de la ligne de coupe et d´éclaircir les recouvrements en faisant un CONTRASTE de façon à creer une ombre sur les pointes.

the touch-up
the dictionary indicates "coverage" for recouvrement, but I have the
feeling that in cosmetics this would be the make-up or something of that sort. But this is only to serve as first food for thought. By all means wait for further input.

Sara Freitas
: this has to do with the length of each layer and how much of the underlayer it covers

Suezen, thanks for the link!
Thanks everyone for the input - thanks SwissTell for the food for thought.;)
I just have one question: is the word "overlayers" really used? (In British English). Merci.:)
Although both sound possible, I am wondering about 'longer layers', because one definition I have been finding for 'recouvrement' is 'overlap' - so I'm wondering if these might be those long layers that 'overlap' on top of the shorter ones? Thanks for the responses...I'll be back.:)
