Textured Crop
You prefer a compact and forward-moving outline with a textured finish and the defining feature of short sides with choppy, separated texture across the top.
Salon wording: Ask for short, tidy sides and a scissor-cut top with enough uneven texture to style forward or slightly to one side.
High Puff
You prefer a high and rounded outline with a coily finish and the defining feature of rounded natural texture gathered high above smoothly directed sides.
Salon wording: If shaping is needed, discuss preserving enough length and density for the puff while keeping the surrounding perimeter balanced when worn loose.
