Crown hair is backcombed into a rounded mound before the rest is gathered high, so the top has depth rather than lying flat.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the style lands on your photo instead.
Backcombing goes into thin horizontal slices through the top two inches, each teased at the root and then smoothed over with the flat of a brush so the finished surface hides the padding underneath. The height sits between the front hairline and the elastic, which gives the profile a curve instead of a straight sweep. Hairspray belongs inside the teased slices, not over the top, or the shine goes dull.
- Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. The teased crown adds height above the forehead, which is the line a round or square outline is short of, while the sides stay combed flat against the head.
- Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. Fine and medium hair grips a backcomb best, and straight to lightly waved texture is what lets the top layer smooth cleanly over the teased section beneath.
- UpkeepNo cut to maintain, but teasing roughs the cuticle, so keep it to occasional wear, brush it out with conditioner rather than dry, and mask the mid lengths weekly.
