What would you like me to do with this draft?
Editor’s Note
Eight years of reading comments on hair posts has taught me one thing: the FG community is *ferocious* about their cuts, and honestly, that passion shows in the data — color blocking dominates verified reports at 40%, which surprised even me when I first pulled those numbers, because clients in the chair will almost always default to safe and uniform before I talk them out of it. What I find genuinely interesting is how the “avoid” column tells the real story here; monochrome flowing appearing in 31% of cautionary reports isn’t about length or texture in isolation — it’s about what happens when the FG’s inherent geometric sharpness gets buried under visual weight that asks it to disappear. So I’m curious: when you’ve gone against these guidelines, what actually happened?
Just got my hair cut at a salon in Little Five Points last month and my stylist kept pushing me toward longer layers — I had no idea why it felt so *off* until I read this. The part about avoiding heavy bulk around the face? That’s my whole life right now lol. I’m definitely bringing photos of those pixie-with-texture cuts to my next appointment. Quick question though — does the FG guideline still apply if your hair is naturally thick nd coarse?
