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.

Suitssquare, heart, oblong face shapes. The layers keep width at the cheek and drop weight below the jaw, which softens a square corner, cuts a long face short of its full run and gives a narrow chin company.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. It wants enough density to hold the choppy interior, and a natural bend helps the layers separate instead of lying in flat sheets.
UpkeepA shape-up every eight to ten weeks, with most days needing nothing more than salt spray scrunched into damp lengths.
