- Well-defined curls with back length
What it is
Curls are kept full down the centre of the head and carried into length at the back, while a burst fade arcs around each ear and leaves the temples short. The front hairline is squared with a hard corner, and the fade curves upward behind the ear rather than running straight down. Seen from any angle the shape holds together, with the curl mass narrowing toward the nape.
Who it suits
Suits kids with strong curl definition and a bit of length already at the back. It carries real personality, so it works best where school dress rules allow a bit of shape. Growing curls make it forgiving — as the back fills in, the silhouette softens rather than losing structure.
How to ask for it
Ask for a burst fade around the ears with the curls kept full through the centre and left long at the back. Fade a 0.5 at the ear opening to a 2, arcing the line up behind the ear. Keep the top and back uncut, and square the front hairline at the temple corner.
Upkeep
Wet the curls in the morning and add a little leave-in, then let them dry naturally. The burst needs cleaning up every three weeks; the back can be trimmed whenever the length gets too heavy.
