Styling tips

- Chin-length bobs that end at the jaw
Beard and facial hair
Light stubble or a short beard. Avoid bulk at the jaw corners.
Glasses
Frames with strong detail on the top half, like browline styles.
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.
