Why it works, texture and upkeep
Why it can work
Cutting above the jaw creates a striking, unmistakable outline, so it works as a real statement piece if you want a haircut that gets noticed.
Texture fit
Best on straight and wavy hair, where the short, precise line holds its shape most cleanly.
Daily effort and upkeep
High upkeep — at this length, growth shows fast, so plan a trim every 4–6 weeks, with 5–10 minutes of daily styling to keep the line sharp.
