Layers go in curl by curl on dry hair so nothing collapses once it shrinks, which is the difference between a shag and a triangle. The shortest lengths sit through the crown to lift the root, and the perimeter is left uneven so the ends do not stack into a solid bottom edge. Diffusing upside down is most of the styling. Growth mostly shows as the crown dropping.
- Suitsoval, square, heart face shapes. The curl mass rides above the cheekbone while the ends drop past the jaw, which rounds off a square corner and puts width below a narrow chin.
- Hair typecurly, coily, thick, medium density. An actual curl pattern is needed to define the layers, and a tighter coil shrinks more, so the cut has to be planned at dry length.
- UpkeepDry cut every three to four months, with gel or cream on soaking wet hair and a diffuser on low most wash days.
