Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal

Designed specifically for Type 3A–3C curls, this cut sculpts long curls into a rounded, cascading shape that eliminates the wide “triangle” silhouette. Building crown height and tapering the lower curls creates a vertical shape that flatters round faces.

Step-by-Step Execution & Cutting Guide

  • Perform the cut dry on natural, un-stretched curls to account for individual curl bounce and spring factor.

  • Carve out individual curl clumps starting below the chin line to create a balanced frame.

  • Elevate top crown curls to build vertical height without adding lateral width across the ears.

  • Channel-cut dense areas behind the ears to release bulk.

  • Detail the perimeter curl by curl, ensuring a tapered, cascading finish.
