What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The longer the top, the more important the transition area becomes.
  • The intended outcome trims the shape without removing the style's flow.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Trim the taper more often than the long top.
  • Use lightweight cream to keep flow without stiffness.
  • Book shape trims when the top starts falling unevenly.
