Definition here comes from the set rather than the cut: two-strand twists go in on damp hair with a cream, dry fully, then get separated with oiled fingers. On a teeny weeny afro that produces a soft halo of clumped curls with more shape and shine than an unstretched wash-and-go. Separate too much and it turns fluffy, too little and the twist lines still show. Sleeping on it flattens one side.

Suitsoval, square face shapes. The clumped coils sit as a soft halo of curves close to the head, which puts rounded shapes against an angular jaw without adding width low down.
Hair typecoily, curly, fine, medium density. Any coil pattern sets, with looser curls giving bigger softer clumps and tight coils giving more spring and less apparent length.
UpkeepTrim every eight to ten weeks to keep the shape even, and re-twist most nights or pineapple it to hold definition into day two and three.
Ask forAsk for the length kept even at two to three inches with the ends shaped, then set it yourself in small two-strand twists on damp hair.
