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.
Undercut
You prefer a disconnected and top-focused outline with a textured finish and the defining feature of closely cut sides beneath a distinctly longer top section.
Salon wording: Specify how high the short section should sit, whether the transition should be disconnected or blended, and how the longer top will be worn.
