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.
