Straight Long

Length carried well past the shoulders in one unbroken sheet, cut straight across so the ends read as a hard line.

Nothing here is layered for movement; the whole point is the weight sitting at the very bottom, somewhere between the bra strap and the mid back. That weight is what keeps the hair hanging flat instead of expanding at the sides. It grows out invisibly, which is why it survives long gaps between appointments, though the ends thin over time and the hard line quietly softens into a V.

Suitsround, square, heart face shapes. All the weight hangs below the jaw, which lets the eye travel past a square corner, stretches a round outline downward and puts width beside a narrow chin.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. It needs enough density at the ends to keep the blunt line intact, so medium and thick hair keep the line where very fine hair goes see-through.
UpkeepA dusting every ten to twelve weeks preserves the line, and daily work is mostly heat protectant plus a pass with a flat iron on the ends.
Ask forAsk to keep it one length to the mid back with the ends cut straight across, and say no layers around the face.
