- Type of change

- Visible length
- Short
Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.
Ask your stylist
Ask for a short, textured top with a soft forward fringe and a gradual taper around the ears. Discuss the fringe length and work with the natural growth direction.
Your routine
A little styling product can separate the top; the fringe and taper need reshaping 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?
