The weight sits right at the collarbone, so the ends land on the shoulder and want to flick outward unless they are dried under tension with a round brush or flat iron. Interior layers stay long and blunt so the sheet of hair reads as one surface. Humidity is the enemy: a smoothing cream before drying and a silk pillowcase buy you a second day.

Suitsround, oval, square face shapes. The two vertical panels of hair beside the cheeks cut visible width, which pulls a rounded or squared face longer and narrower.
Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. Naturally straight or loosely wavy hair holds it with the least work, and fine hair benefits because the blunt line reads as density.
UpkeepTrim every eight to ten weeks so the ends do not fray into wisps, and expect roughly ten minutes with a flat iron most mornings.
