Two flat planes and a corner: the top is cut straight along a level line and the sides are cut vertical, which takes a comb, clippers and a steady eye rather than a guard alone. Coily hair is what makes it possible, because it stands up on its own and holds the plane. Height runs from an inch to several. The corners are the whole point of the shape and they round off inside two weeks.

  • Suitsround, oval face shapes. A level plane and squared corners hand a round outline the height and the angles it does not supply, while the vertical sides keep width off the cheek.
  • Hair typecoily, medium density, thick. Only hair that stands away from the scalp unaided will hold a level plane, and anything that lies down will not build the box.
  • UpkeepEvery two weeks without fail, or the top rounds off and the sides lose their edge, plus a pick and a little sheen each morning.
  • Ask forAsk for a flat top cut level across the top with squared corners, and agree the height in inches before they start.
