Why it works, texture and upkeep

Why it can work

Minimal layering means minimal visual noise — on the right hair, that reads as effortless polish rather than plainness.

Texture fit

Best suited to straight and wavy hair, since the smooth line depends on a flat, glassy finish rather than natural curl pattern.

Daily effort and upkeep

High upkeep — expect a blunt trim every 4–6 weeks to stop split ends from breaking the clean line, plus 15+ minutes most days with a flat iron or blow-dryer.

One real trade-off

Because the whole point is a glass-smooth surface, humidity, frizz, or even one day skipping the flat iron shows immediately — there's nowhere for imperfect texture to hide.
