The feeling

A closer look

The shape is compact but full, with layers that help curls sit together instead of building a heavy triangle at the ends. The guide image shows a chin-level dry shape; your wet length may need to be considerably longer to reach it after shrinkage.

These generated images are inspiration. A hairdresser can help adapt the shape to your density, growth patterns and preferred routine.

Styling notes

  • Apply your preferred curl product in sections on damp, conditioned hair.
  • Scrunch upward and check that the fringe curls are not stretched flat.
  • Air-dry or diffuse on low heat; lift at the roots only when fully dry.

Everyday upkeep

  • Ask for a dry shape review around eight to twelve weeks, depending on how quickly the silhouette changes.
  • Refresh flattened curls with a little water and gentle handling between washes.
