Leaf Cut Down-Perm Sides
A leaf cut where the whole design decision is chemical: the sides are permanently pressed flat while the top keeps its lift.
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- sides pressed flat with a down perm
- movement from the c-bend
- curtain fringe
- a dark brown colour
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Medium upkeep
- Expect a few minutes of styling most days to keep the shape reading the way it does here.
- At the salon
- A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.
- A treatment supports the finish.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.
Bring this to your appointment
“I like the c-bend and the medium silhouette, and the curtain fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
