About the Shaggy Black Waves

Cut & Silhouette: Description: Mid-length, heavily layered cut with significant volume around the crown and upper sides, creating a soft, rounded yet disheveled silhouette.

Ear coverage: over-ear (ears mostly covered by layers). Sideburns: blended into face-framing layers, extending to mid-ear. Nape/neckline: Not visible (ends reach just past shoulders/collarbone). Length: Overall: Longest strands approximately 12–14 in (30–36 cm) from crown to ends, reaching just past the collarbone. Front: Face-framing layers begin high on the crown, with shortest pieces around 5–6 in (12–15 cm) from crown, falling around cheekbone level.
