Why it works, texture and upkeep
Why it can work
Layering to the curl pattern — instead of cutting straight across — lets each curl spring into its own space, which is what keeps a rounded curly shape from looking bottom-heavy.
Texture fit
Built for curly and coily hair. A leave-in conditioner plus a curl cream, applied on soaking-wet hair, is usually what keeps the curls defined instead of frizzy.
Daily effort and upkeep
Medium upkeep — a curl-by-curl shape check every 6–10 weeks keeps the roundness balanced, with 5–15 minutes to refresh curls day to day.
