Who should skip it
Any one of these moves it down your list, or off it.
- 1A, 2B–4C hair (straight, wavy, curly and coily): the shape depends on a texture it can't hold, so we rule it out.Hair physics
- Low-density hair: the cut relies on bulk that thin hair doesn't have.Hair physics
- A hairline past Norwood 2: at stage 3 it's shown with a caveat; beyond that we hide it.Barber consensus
- A humid climate with wavy or curly hair: it needs a blowout to hold.Hair physics
- No heat tools: it needs a blow-dryer to look like the reference.Stylist convention
- Scores lower if you have a low forehead.Stylist convention
- Scores lower if you have fine hair.Hair physics
