How to adapt the recommendation
Fine or low-density hair
Use fewer, more intentional layers so the ends retain visible fullness.
Thick or dense hair
Ask for internal weight removal and controlled layers rather than adding width everywhere.
Wavy or curly hair
Judge the cut at its dry, natural shape because curl shrinkage changes the ending point and volume.
Low-maintenance routine
Prioritize a cut that works with your natural part and texture before optimizing face-shape theory.
