Depth is the point: the peaks and troughs sit close together and travel further, so the pattern looks carved rather than draped. That compression shortens the visible length by an inch or two, meaning hair cut at the collarbone can end up closer to the jaw once the ripple is in. Definition depends on the hair staying clumped rather than brushed apart, so gel or mousse worked into soaking hair and then left alone does more than any iron.

Suitsoval, oblong, square, heart face shapes. The ripple adds width through the sides at jaw level, filling out the lower half of a heart face and breaking the long vertical line of an oblong one.
Hair typemedium density, thick, wavy, curly. It needs a hair shaft with some coarseness or an existing wave pattern, because fine, slippery hair will not hold a ripple this tight for long.
UpkeepTrim every twelve weeks, since the pattern hides slightly uneven ends, and refresh daily with water and a little gel rather than restyling from dry.
Ask forAsk for a collarbone cut measured on dry, waved hair rather than pulled straight, with layers cut into the wave so the shape does not go triangular.
