Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal

Merging the romantic feel of a classic French bob with the layered movement of a fairy shag, this cut is tailored for Type 3A–3C curls. The silhouette features a short, rounded crown with curls that taper delicately into a wispy perimeter. A soft, curly fringe sits above the eyebrows, drawing attention directly to the eyes while balancing cheek proportions.

Step-by-Step Execution & Cutting Guide

  • Always execute this cut on dry, naturally styled curls (dry curl carving) to account for individual curl spring factor.
  • Cut each curl cluster individually, carving out space around the ears and jawline to prevent a wide, triangular shape.
  • Build rounded crown layers that generate soft height on top without adding lateral width across the ears.
  • Cut the curly fringe strand by strand at eyebrow level, tapering slightly longer toward the temples.
  • Use shear-slicing techniques inside dense curl clusters to encourage definition and bounce.
