Crimped Under-Layer, Smooth Canopy
A sharp-angled crimp worked into the under-layer only, hidden completely beneath a smooth straight canopy.
ShortS-waveBlunt fringe
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a wave perm set through the lengths
- movement from the s-wave
- blunt 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.
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 s-wave and the short silhouette, and the blunt fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
