Those seeking a high-impact, voluminous look who are comfortable with a routine involving moisture-rich products will find this silhouette very rewarding.
Request a shoulder-length curly cut using a dry-cutting technique to ensure the shape accounts for natural shrinkage and bounce. Ask for internal layering to remove weight and prevent a bottom-heavy triangle shape, focusing on a rounded perimeter that frames the face. Specify that you want the curls to be individually defined with shorter layers through the top and crown to encourage maximum lift and an airy, breathable finish.

This silhouette uses strategic internal layering and a rounded perimeter to distribute volume evenly, ensuring the weight is not concentrated solely at the ends.
