Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.
Ask your stylist
Ask for a neck-to-shoulder-length shag with connected layers, a soft fringe and a retained perimeter. Discuss how short the crown layers should be before removing weight.
Your routine
Natural movement contributes to the shape; the fringe and shorter layers may need refreshing as they grow.
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?
