The top is left long enough that the longest piece reaches the opposite cheekbone when swept over, usually worn from a deep side part. Underneath, the sides and nape are tapered short so the sweep lies against the head instead of bulking out above the ear. A round brush and a couple of minutes of drying sets the direction it falls. It grows into a long pixie rather than into an awkward stage.

Suitsround, square, heart face shapes. A diagonal sweep across the forehead leaves a round or square outline without the symmetry it reads width from, and lays a soft line over the widest part of the face.
Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. It needs hair that will hold a direction once dried, so straight and wavy suit it, while tight curl will not lie across the head in one sweep.
UpkeepThe sides want tidying every four to six weeks while the top can be left to grow, and it wants a round brush most mornings.
Ask forAsk for around five inches through the top so it reaches the far cheekbone when swept, with a soft taper from the temples through to the nape.
