FaceFluent / Stylist reference
Wavy flow
Ear-skimming layers that sweep back with loose movement.

- Type of change
- Cut
- Visible length
- Medium
Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.
Ask your stylist
Ask for medium-length layers that move away from the face while retaining fullness around the ears. Discuss where the hair naturally parts and how much length to keep at the nape.
Your routine
Drying direction helps the swept-back shape; natural waves may need only light definition.
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?
