Who it fits

Hair comes first: these decide whether the shape can hold.

  • Best on 1A–2A hair (straight and wavy).Hair physics
  • Any density.Hair physics
  • Holds up through a Norwood 3 hairline.Barber consensus
  • Scores higher if you have a high forehead.Stylist convention
  • Scores higher if you have a receding hairline (Norwood 2+).Barber consensus

Who should skip it

Any one of these moves it down your list, or off it.

  • 2B–4C hair (wavy, curly and coily): the shape depends on a texture it can't hold, so we rule it out.Hair physics
  • A hairline past Norwood 3: at stage 4 it's shown with a caveat; beyond that we hide it.Barber consensus
  • Scores lower if you have a low forehead.Stylist convention
  • Scores lower if you have a front cowlick.Barber consensus
  • Scores lower if you have glasses.Stylist convention
