Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
Rather than cutting a blunt horizontal perimeter, this cut carves a distinct “V” shape down the back. The elongated point draws the eye downward, creating a strong vertical line that counteracts facial roundness while keeping heavy, dense hair manageable.
Step-by-Step Execution & Cutting Guide
-
Over-direct all back sections forward toward the chest, cutting on a steep diagonal angle to form a clean V-line.
-
Incorporate deep vertical point-cutting through the perimeter to eliminate blunt weight lines.
-
Layer the interior from mid-back downward, ensuring layers fall in cascading tiers.
-
Angle the front framing smoothly from the collarbone down to the point of the “V”.
-
Texturize dense areas behind the ears using slicing shears.

Pro Styling & Everyday Application Tips
-
Style with a 1.5-inch curling iron, wrapping hair away from the face and leaving the bottom two inches uncurled.
-
Rake through curls with a wide-tooth comb to blend the V-shaped tiers into soft, flowing waves.
-
Apply a pea-sized amount of finishing oil to the lowest point of the “V” to keep ends defined and sleek.
