This mid-length style features a smooth, high-lift quiff rolled away from the face combined with voluminous ringlets. Heavy layers provide substantial width at the sides, while the curls rest softly against the neck.

This mid-length style is ideal for those with oval, heart, or diamond face shapes who want to emphasize their bone structure through the horizontal volume of the side layers. It requires naturally curly or coily textures with medium-to-high density to ensure the ringlets remain defined while providing enough structural support for the lifted quiff. This cut is perfect for individuals who enjoy a high-maintenance daily routine involving heat styling and product application to maintain the distinct separation between the smooth front and textured sides.
Request a medium-length cut with heavy internal layers designed to maximize width through the sides and back. Ask for a high-volume quiff section at the front that is long enough to be rolled back, while the remaining hair is cut into defined ringlets that fall softly around the neck. The transition between the smooth front and curly perimeter should be seamless, utilizing point-cutting to prevent any harsh weight lines and ensure the curls maintain their bounce and shape.
To keep the quiff's lift and the ringlets' definition, expect a trim every four to six weeks to manage the heavy layering and weight distribution. Daily styling requires a blow-dryer with both a diffuser for the curls and a small round brush for the quiff, supplemented by high-hold pomade and curl-defining cream.
This specific cut relies on the structural integrity of natural ringlets for the side volume, so those with straight hair would need permanent chemical treatments or extensive daily heat curling to replicate the shape.
Using a firm-hold setting spray or a high-tack pomade at the roots of the front section is essential to ensure the rolled quiff stays elevated and distinct from the softer ringlets.
Because the heavy layers create significant width at the sides, individuals with rounder faces may find this cut exaggerates fullness; however, the vertical lift of the quiff can help provide a slight lengthening effect.
Using a silk or satin scarf to preserve the curl pattern and pinning the quiff section forward can help maintain the shape overnight, reducing the need for a full restyle in the morning.
