On long hair a deep ripple has room to repeat a dozen times or more, and the stacked pattern builds real bulk through the mid-lengths. Left unlayered it widens into a triangle, so weight has to be removed from inside the hair, never off the surface. Wet setting or a diffuser holds the definition better than air-drying, which lets gravity pull the lower waves open. A satin pillowcase stops overnight friction from frizzing the top rows.

  • Suitsoval, round, heart, diamond face shapes. The widest part of the shape sits well below the jaw, so the face itself stays clear while the lower half of a heart or diamond outline gains balance.
  • Hair typemedium density, thick, wavy, curly, coily. This lives most naturally on hair that already waves or coils tightly, and it needs density, because a thin perimeter makes the bottom rows look stringy.
