When the back feels bulky, show the exact area rather than requesting thinning everywhere. The aim is to identify the unwanted weight while preserving the shape you like elsewhere.

What to discuss

Ask for a back-view check and compare it with the side profile. Explain whether the problem is the outline, how the hair feels under a collar or the time it takes to arrange. Removing length and reducing internal weight are different decisions that should be explained before cutting.

Plan your appointment

If the top is also being considered for a perm, discuss the complete plan together. Movement in one section does not automatically answer heaviness in another. Agree on how the haircut connects the areas and request home-styling advice for the back, especially if you rarely see it in your own mirror.
