Curly Shoulder Length With Shaved Temple Wedge
- Difficulty
- INTERMEDIATE
- Hair Type
- tight defined curls, high density
What it is
Length is kept, falling to the shoulder in tight defined coils, but the side is opened with a shaved temple wedge that runs from the front hairline back past the ear. A crisp trimmer part separates the curl from the shaved section, and the shaved area is graduated so it goes from skin at the front to a short shadow behind the ear. The curl pattern above the part stays full and untouched.
Who it suits
Built for dense curl or coil that carries weight on the sides. If your hair sits heavy against your face or your temples always feel bulky, this takes that away without losing your length. It also gives you two looks, since brushing the curl across covers the shaved section entirely when you want it covered.
How to ask for it
Ask for the length left alone and the temple section shaved: 0.5 guard at the front hairline graduating to a 1 behind the ear. Set the parting line with the trimmer corner, running from the front hairline back at a slight upward angle above the ear. No layers cut into the curl.
Upkeep
Line the part and re-shave the temple every two weeks. Refresh the curls with a water and leave-in mix, scrunch, and let them air-dry. Satin at night keeps definition.
