AI-generated consultation reference — not a photo of a real client.
Coiled Top, Straight Hem
Tight coil from the root to the jaw, then a straight untouched hem below it — inverted from the usual order.
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a salon perm doing most of the work
- movement from the tight curl
- side-swept fringe
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Higher upkeep
- This shape rewards regular styling — the reference finish leans on it.
- 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.

“I like the tight curl and the medium silhouette, and the side-swept fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
