Waves that begin around ear level and run down to the ends give this its flow, and nothing about it is broken up or roughened. The perimeter stays fairly heavy so the length hangs in one moving sheet, and layering, where it exists, is cut long and deep inside the hair rather than on the surface. Straight hair needs a full set on a one-inch barrel to reproduce it. On hair with a natural pattern, a cream and air-drying gets close.

Suitsround, square, heart face shapes. The unbroken vertical fall trims the sides off a wide outline, and the wave's fullness sits low enough to widen a narrow chin without adding bulk at the cheek.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. Long waves need density so the ends do not thin out, and a natural wave pattern saves a great deal of iron time.
UpkeepEnds need attention every ten to twelve weeks, and daily styling is either a full iron set or a curl cream worked through damp hair if the wave is natural.
Ask forAsk for length kept below the bust with internal long layers only, and specify a wave that starts high, near the ear, rather than at mid-shaft.
