What changes visually

These are design effects to compare, not rules about who can wear this cut. Your preference matters more than a face-shape verdict.

  • More side length creates a softer transition into the back.
  • A tight temple area makes the back length feel more dramatic.
  • A textured fringe balances the outline from the front.

A better salon brief

Show both front and side references. Define how much length must remain behind the ears and whether the sides should connect, taper or disconnect.

What the preview cannot know

An AI image cannot assess hair density, elasticity, previous chemical services, shrinkage or how a cut behaves after washing. Use it to communicate a direction. Ask a qualified stylist or barber to judge feasibility and adapt the reference to your hair.
