Length changes what a beach wave does. Past the shoulder blades the hair's own weight pulls the S open, so the pattern reads as wide bends rather than the tighter kink you get at collarbone length, and the top eight inches stay close to straight. Long internal layers keep the ends from sitting in a blunt block. Expect the wave to drop by evening unless the hair is coarse.

Suitsround, oval, square, heart face shapes. Length draws the eye down and narrows a round or square outline, while the wave adds fullness below the cheekbone where a heart shape runs narrow.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. It needs enough density that the length does not thin to wisps at the ends, and enough natural bend or coarseness that the wave survives the weight pulling on it.
UpkeepA dusting of the ends every twelve weeks holds the shape, and most days mean a wide-barrel iron or overnight braids plus a light texture spray at the roots.
Ask forAsk to keep the length past the shoulder blades with long invisible layers starting around the collarbone, and say you do not want a blunt perimeter.
