Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
A stylish, collarbone-grazing protective style with an A-line cut. The back is shorter (nape-length) while the side-parted front extends past the chin and grazes the collarbone, creating sharp angles that visually sharpen a soft, rounded jawline.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Create a deep side part using clean square or triangle parting boxes.
-
Install knotless braids, cutting and sealing them at graduated lengths: short at the nape (4 to 6 inches) and longer in the front (10 to 12 inches).
-
Curve the front braid ends slightly inward toward the collarbone by dipping them around large perm rods in hot water.
-
Add 2 to 3 gold filigree cuffs along the longer front grazing braids to draw attention to the collarbone.

Pro Styling Tip
Ensure the longest front braids fall at least 1 to 2 inches below the chin line; ending exactly at the jawline can make a round face appear wider.
