Who it suits
The catalog lists oval, square, heart-shaped, diamond and long (oblong) face shapes as suiting the middle-part curtains. It marks no face shape as a weaker fit.
For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a square face: Soften a strong jaw with texture, layers and movement. For a heart-shaped face: Balance a wider forehead; add fullness near the jaw.
The catalog pictures it on straight hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on straight and wavy hair, and leaves curly and coily hair off that list, so ask a stylist who works with your texture.

The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.
