Curly hair is added into the braid and pulled out at intervals rather than braided in, giving a soft cloud of texture over a clean knotless base. Because those wisps hang loose, they tangle sooner than the braids do and need combing through with a leave-in every couple of days. The overall shape is deliberately less uniform than plain knotless work, and the curls soften the hard line the braids would otherwise draw against the face.

Suitssquare, heart, diamond face shapes. The loose curls hang beside the jaw and break the straight vertical of the braid, rounding off a square corner and putting weight where a heart or diamond narrows toward the chin.
Hair typemedium density, thick, curly, coily. The base is knotless, so your own hair only needs enough length to feed in and the added curl does the visual work.
UpkeepFour to six weeks, with the loose curls needing a detangle and a spray of leave-in every few days or they mat together.
