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.
Hollywood Waves
You prefer a sculpted and sweeping outline with a glossy finish and the defining feature of large aligned waves flowing from a deep side part with glossy definition.
Salon wording: Keep enough length and density for broad waves, then use the reference to discuss parting, face framing, and the formal finish rather than a different haircut.
