  1. 1

Build editable brief

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • Simple design lines age better than crowded patterns.
  • The design should sit inside the faded area, not cut into the top.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Shaved design lines become less distinct as the hair grows.
  • Avoid trying to recut the line at home.
  • Book a quick touch-up before events.
