The bangs are separated off before any teasing starts, otherwise they get pulled up into the cushion and the whole thing reads as one lump. Once the crown is built and smoothed, the bangs are dried forward and left soft, which stops the silhouette looking severe where it meets the face. The contrast between a structured top and a loose front is the point, so the bangs have to stay light enough not to compete with the height.

  • Suitsround, heart, diamond face shapes. The crown height lengthens a round outline, and the bangs below it cover the wide top of a heart shape or fill in a narrow diamond brow.
  • Hair typefine, medium density, thick, straight, wavy. Straight and gently wavy hair holds both halves best, because the crown has to tease up and the bangs have to lie flat.
  • UpkeepBangs want trimming every three to four weeks, and the crown is a daily ten-minute build with root spray and a teasing comb.
  • Ask forAsk for soft bangs cut to the brow and enough length left at the crown to tease, with the front sectioned off separately.
