An expansive, rounded silhouette featuring significant lift at the crown and wispy, piecey bangs. The hair transitions from a textured top into defined spiral ringlets that frame the face.

This look is best for those with natural type 3A to 3C curls who want a bold, high-volume profile. It works well for square or heart-shaped faces as the rounded silhouette softens strong jawlines and balances wider foreheads. High-density hair is ideal to achieve the necessary lift and fullness, though it requires a commitment to a multi-step moisture and definition routine.
Request a rounded, layered curly cut performed on dry hair to manage the spring factor and ensure a balanced silhouette. Specify that you want short, internal layers to create height at the crown and wispy, brow-skimming bangs that are cut piecey rather than blunt. The perimeter should be graduated to avoid a bottom-heavy shape, ensuring the ringlets frame the face with a soft, cloud-like texture.
Expect to visit the salon every 6 to 8 weeks for a shape-up to prevent the crown from flattening as it grows. Daily styling involves using a moisturizing curl cream and a diffuser to encourage maximum lift and definition without creating frizz.
Your stylist should cut the fringe while dry and in its natural curl state to account for shrinkage; daily, use a light finger-coiling technique.
Yes, but you will need volumizing foams rather than heavy creams to maintain the lift at the crown without weighing the ringlets down.
While air-drying is possible, a diffuser is highly recommended to achieve the specific expansive volume and crown height that defines this rounded silhouette.
