You’re balanced, so nothing needs fixing the goal is just not stretching your face

1: Straight Hair

Men: Textured crop
Women: Long layered straight hair

Straight hair naturally sits flat, so if you don’t add texture or layers it just drags everything downward and can make your face look longer than it actually is. The textured crop for men fixes that by breaking up the flatness without adding too much height, while long layers for women keep movement so the face stays balanced instead of heavy and flat.

2a: Wavy Hair

Men: Middle part
Women: Soft wavy layers

2b: Wavy Hair (Messy / textured waves)

Men: Messy medium length
Women: Beach waves
