Tight Coil Crop
The tightest curl at short length — so dense it becomes one round mass with no visible direction.
ShortTight curl
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a salon perm doing most of the work
- movement from the tight curl
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Low upkeep
- Day to day this is mostly wash-and-go, though your own texture has the final say.
- 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.
