It is really two lengths worn at once: a short, heavy panel on each side of the face ending in a hard horizontal line at the cheek, and everything behind it left long. There is no graduation between the two, which is the entire point. The front sections have to be dried flat and straight or the blunt edge disappears, and because they are short they lift away from the head easily in wind.

Suitsoval, oblong face shapes. The blunt line at the cheekbone is the only horizontal in the shape, and it drops width into the middle of a long face where the outline has none.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight. Everything depends on a visible blunt edge, so it needs straight hair with enough density that the short panels do not separate into strands.
UpkeepThe front sections need trimming every four to six weeks because they show growth first, while the long back can wait three months.
Ask forAsk for a hime cut: two disconnected front sections cut straight across at cheekbone level, with the back left one length and long.
