The framing layers are cut round rather than choppy and curled away from the face, so they lift off the cheek and fall back with a soft bend. Underneath, the base stays close to one length, which gives the top layers something to bounce against. A large barrel iron or a round brush on the front sections is the whole styling routine. Left alone, the two lengths blur into a single soft shape.
