Scales are generally rewarding: «Vyear made with scissors distributed in the mass of the hair, so that they are nuanced and not perceptible. «They add soft volume and create movement. They achieve an optical effect that “breaks” the vertical trend of the long face and displaces the attention from the prominent nose».
