Suits straight to loosely wavy hair with medium density that holds an outward flick. Works on most face shapes, with the face-framing layers softening square and round faces and adding angle to longer ones. Best for people who enjoy a quick blow-dry or hot-tool styling, since the flicked ends and movement need a little daily shaping to read as intended.
Ask for a medium-length cut hitting around the collarbone with soft face-framing layers starting at the cheekbone. Request long, blended internal layers for movement and ends left slightly textured so they flick outward. Keep a center or soft side part. Style with a round brush turning the ends out, or use a flat iron flicking the tips away from the face for that relaxed flipped finish.
Trim every 8 to 10 weeks to keep the face-framing pieces and flicked ends crisp. Daily styling is a quick round-brush blow-dry or a flat-iron flick at the tips. Use a light volumizing mousse and a heat protectant; a texturizing spray adds the lived-in, effortless feel.
Aim for collarbone length or a touch longer so the ends have room to flick out. Much shorter and the outward bend looks abrupt rather than the soft, relaxed flick the style relies on.
Loosely wavy hair can air-dry with a curl cream and a flick shaped by hand, but straight hair usually needs a round brush or flat iron to hold the outward bend at the ends.
Yes. The movement and face-framing layers add the impression of fullness. Keep internal layering subtle so fine hair does not look stringy, and use a volumizing mousse at the roots.
Not a full fringe. The defining feature is face-framing layers from the cheekbone down. You can add curtain pieces if you want more around the face, but the ends flicking out are the key.
