Visible length
Short

Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.

Ask your stylist

Retain coily volume through the top and taper gradually around the ears and nape. Agree on the transition and preserve the natural hairline unless you request a defined edge.

Your routine

The top can follow your coil routine; the taper needs upkeep to retain its contrast.

Agree before starting

  • What length and outline should we aim for when my hair is dry?
  • How should we adapt this shape to my texture, density and growth patterns?
  • What should stay the same? Confirm any change to color, texture or overall length.
  • What daily styling, salon upkeep and cost should I expect?
