Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
Designed specifically for Type 3A–3C natural curls, this cut sculpts curls into a balanced, dynamic shape that eliminates the wide “triangle” silhouette. Shorter curls on one side highlight the cheekbone, while longer cascading ringlets on the other side elongate the face.
Step-by-Step Execution & Cutting Guide
-
Perform the cut dry on natural, un-stretched curls to account for curl bounce and shrinkage.
-
Create a deep side part to build height and volume on the heavy side.
-
Cut the short side so curls rest at the earlobe or upper jaw level.
-
Carve out the longer side curl by curl, allowing the lowest tendrils to graze the collarbone.
-
Channel-cut through dense curl clusters behind the ears to release internal weight.

Pro Styling & Everyday Application Tips
-
Apply a lightweight curl-defining cream or custard to soaking-wet hair using the praying-hands method.
-
Gently micro-plop with a microfiber towel to remove excess moisture without causing frizz.
-
Diffuse on low heat, tilting your head from side to side to maximize root elevation at the crown.
