Plain-language starting points

What you could discuss

These are editable prompts, not exact instructions or a substitute for an in-person consultation.

  1. 1

    Use Mid Drop Fade as the starting reference.

  2. 2

    Place the drop around mid height and keep the back curve even.

  3. 3

    Keep enough length above the fade so the shape does not look hollow.

  4. 4

    Please adjust the finish after checking my current length, density, and growth pattern.

Add current length, routine, and keep/avoid outcomes in the full builder.

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The mid drop line should follow the head shape rather than forming a straight band.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Use controlled volume on top so the curved fade has balance.
  • Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
  • Start styling with matte clay, then add more product only where the top needs control.
