Curly Long

Length carried well past the shoulders with the curl pattern left intact, so the volume sits wide and the ends stay full.

Long curly hair carries real weight, and that weight is what stretches the curl at the root and lets it spring at the ends. Layers stay long and few, cut to release bulk through the middle without creating shelves that break a curl clump apart. The ends need the most attention because they are the oldest hair, so dusting the very tips keeps the bottom of the shape from going stringy.
