Curly Pixie
Curls kept short and defined over the top of the head, with sides and nape tapered so the width sits high.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the style lands on your photo instead.
Curls are cut dry, one at a time, at the length they actually sit at, because wet length vanishes as soon as they spring back. The top keeps enough to form full curls while the sides and back are tapered so the widest point falls above the ear rather than at the jaw. Leave in cream and a diffuser, or water and cream on day two, is the whole routine. Growth hides inside the pattern.
- Suitsoval, square face shapes. Curl sits as a curve above the ear instead of a straight edge, which is the contrast a square jaw benefits from, and the jaw itself is left clear of the shape.
- Hair typecurly, coily, medium density, thick. The shape only exists where there is a genuine curl pattern, since the cut relies on curl to build height, and loose waves just sit flat on top.
- UpkeepSix to eight weeks between cuts because curl disguises growth, and daily upkeep is water plus a cream to reset the pattern.
- Ask forAsk for a dry cut, curl by curl, at the length the curls sit at, with the sides and back tapered so the width stays above the ear.
