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.
Modern Mohawk
You prefer a central and disconnected outline with a bold finish and the defining feature of a clearly separated central strip running between closely cut sides.
Salon wording: Agree on the width and length of the centre strip, how close the sides should be, and whether the ridge will stand up or follow natural texture.
