High Pigtails Curly

Curl shrinkage means the tails sit noticeably shorter and rounder than a straight version of the same hair, forming two distinct spheres instead of hanging lengths. Gathering while damp with leave-in and letting them dry in place gives the cleanest result, since brushing dry curls fluffs the whole thing out. The ties need to be fabric or coil so they do not crush the pattern. Edges can be smoothed or left out.

• Suitsoval, oblong, square face shapes. Round curl mass parked at ear level puts weight across the middle of the face, shortening what a long face reads as its full length and rounding off a square jaw.
• Hair typecurly, coily, thick, medium density. A real curl or coil pattern is what builds the round bunch shape, and denser hair makes fuller ones, while loose waves just look like two ponytails.
• UpkeepNo trim is implied, but expect to re-wet and re-gather every few days, using satin or coil ties to protect the gather point.
• Ask forAsk for two high gathers set while damp with leave-in, tied with coil or satin ties so the curl pattern is not crushed.
