Height comes from the front three or four inches being left long enough to fold back on itself, while everything from the temples down stays short so the volume reads as a deliberate shape rather than general bulk. Building it means drying the front upward against a round brush or your fingers, then locking it with paste or a strong-hold pomade. It collapses in humidity and has to be rebuilt each morning; no version of this air-dries.
- Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. Several inches of height above the brow stretch a round or square outline vertically, while the short sides keep width off the cheek.
- Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. It needs body and enough coarseness to stand up, since fine hair collapses under its own length before the shape can set.
- UpkeepSides need tidying every three to four weeks to keep the contrast sharp, and the front takes five to ten minutes of drying and product daily.
- Ask forAsk to keep four inches or more through the top and front with the sides taken short, and say you want to wear it swept up and back.
