Talk to your stylist about

Discuss shrinkage, detangling and the shape you want when fully dry.

Living with the look

Care needs are personal to your texture and routine.

A helpful reality check

A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.

What defines Rounded coils?

A rounded coil shape distributes volume around the head. The outer line is shaped by many small coils instead of a single visible cut edge.

What to look for from the front, side and back

Check how far the coils extend at the temples and jaw. The side and back show whether fullness carries around the head or narrows toward the nape.

What to confirm with your stylist

Bring your hair in a finish you wear often and point out how much width you like around the sides. Ask how the outline changes when the coils are stretched.
