Very little hair is taken from behind the hairline, and the ends are point cut or slid so they taper to nothing instead of finishing on a line. That is what creates the see-through quality: you are meant to read skin between the strands. Less hair also means less to style, but it means less to hide behind, so a cowlick or an uneven hairline will show. They sit best just brushing the brow.

Suitsoval, round, heart face shapes. Because the bangs are transparent they shorten the forehead without walling it off, which keeps a round or small face from looking closed in.
Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. Fine and medium straight hair suits it best, since thick coarse hair fights the tapering and clumps back into a solid edge.
UpkeepNeeds cutting back every third or fourth week to stay above the eyes, plus a thirty-second pass with a dryer and a flat brush most days.
