Weight comes out through the middle rather than off the bottom, so the ends stay reasonably full while the interior moves. Face-framing pieces start around the cheekbone and lengthen into the rest, which gives a visible frame without cutting separate bangs. Air drying with a texture spray suits it better than a round brush. As it grows the framing drops to the jaw and still reads intentional.
