Say this at the chair

A curly shag: layers starting around the cheekbone, curtain bangs, cut dry on my curl pattern.

Top
Short layers at the crown for lift.
Sides
Graduated layers to the collarbone, cut curl by curl, no thinning shears.
Fringe
Curtain bangs at cheekbone length, parted in the middle.
Styling
Leave-in cream on wet hair, scrunch, diffuse or air dry. Ten minutes.
Grow-out
Layers soften over eight weeks. The bangs need a trim at six.
