Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the style lands on your photo instead.
This is a styling shape rather than a cut. The under-layers at the crown are teased at the root to build a cushion, then the top layer is combed smooth over it so none of the backcombing shows. Hairspray at the root, not on the surface, is what holds the height. Taking it out at night needs patience and a wide-tooth comb worked from the ends upward, and repeated teasing on the same section roughens the cuticle.
- Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. Height at the crown lengthens the head shape, which is the one direction a round or square outline does not go, and the dome keeps its width up above the temple.
- Hair typefine, medium density, thick, straight, wavy. Fine hair teases up more readily than very thick hair, though it needs more spray to stop the cushion settling by the afternoon.
- UpkeepNo trim schedule of its own, but count on ten minutes to build, a good deal of hairspray, and a careful detangle before bed.
