The part travels front hairline to nape, and each side gathers roughly level with the top of the ear, high enough that both tails sit forward of the head rather than behind it. Straightening before tying matters because any bend shows up at the elastic. Smoothing serum kills flyaway along the part line. The tails swing loose and lose height through the day unless the elastics are genuinely tight.

Suitsoval, round, square face shapes. Both tails are pulled up and back, so the crown gains height and the flat lengths hang as vertical lines past the cheek rather than adding width to it.
Hair typefine, medium density, straight, thick. It needs only enough length to reach past the ear and enough smoothness to hold a clean part, so texture has to be ironed out first.
UpkeepNo cut is implied, but plan five to ten minutes for a clean part and a press, plus a re-tie by mid afternoon.
Ask forNothing is cut for this one, so ask for a clean center part with both tails tied off level with the ear tip.
