Styling tips

Beard and facial hair
A full beard or chin strap adds mass to a narrow chin.
Glasses
Bottom-heavy or rimless frames, cat-eye styles also work.
Tips by hair texture
straight hair
Straight hair shows cut lines clearly, so blunt shapes and precise layers work well. Use a light volumising spray at the roots for lift.
wavy hair
Wavy hair suits layered cuts that let the waves form. Ask for dry cutting or point cutting and use a light cream or mousse.
curly hair
Curly hair shrinks when dry, so cut it dry and curl by curl. Layering prevents a triangle shape. Use leave-in conditioner and avoid brushing dry.
coily hair
Coily hair thrives with shape-focused cuts such as tapers and tapered afros. Moisture is key: use leave-ins, oils and protective styles.
