What it is
Cut short all over with the natural coil left visible rather than brushed flat, this one keeps a soft rounded outline and a squared front line. From above the texture is dense and springy, packed evenly with no wave pattern trained into it. The sides taper gently around the ears and the back closes in low. There is no fade line — the length just reduces as it travels down, which keeps the whole shape soft.
Who it suits
A good starting point for anyone growing into waves or a bigger shape, and a solid standalone cut for coily hair kept short. It suits every face shape because it follows the head closely. Low commitment, and it grows out evenly rather than in stages.
How to ask for it
Ask for a short all-over cut, a 1.5 or 2 on top with a 1 tapered around the ears and down the nape. No fade line and no hard part. Square the front hairline with a light line-up and round the corners slightly so the outline stays soft.
Upkeep
Moisturize daily so the coils stay defined instead of dry. A soft brush after washing keeps the shape even. Three to four weeks between cuts is comfortable.
