- Visible length
- Short
Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.
Ask your stylist
Ask for a crew cut with slightly more length at the front and a gradual taper through the sides and nape. Agree on the shortest length and keep the natural hairline.
Your routine
The compact outline needs regular reshaping; the top can follow its natural texture.
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?
