Choose your direction
First decision
Choose the endpoint and overall silhouette before comparing texture or color.
Texture check
Front pieces and fringe change how the cut frames the face and how often it needs reshaping.
Upkeep check
Save more than one angle when the back shape or crown volume matters.
Best reference
Save a clear front view and a second angle when the back shape matters.

Start with length and perimeter
Identify where the cut ends and whether the lower edge looks blunt, rounded, graduated, or broken up. Those decisions remain visible even when the hair is styled differently.
Compare layers with your natural texture
Layers behave differently on straight, wavy, curly, fine, and dense hair. Focus on where they begin and how much weight remains at the ends.
Build a clearer salon reference
Combine a front image with a side or back view when possible. Name the exact details you want preserved instead of asking for the entire photograph to be copied.
