Why Optima chose this look

Optima selected a textured taper with natural wave flow because the subject has an oval face shape with medium-density wavy hair. Keeping natural texture on top while reducing excess bulk around the sides creates a cleaner, sharper silhouette without fighting his natural wave pattern.

Why this works for an Oval face

An oval face is naturally well-balanced, so Optima doesn't need to compensate heavily for facial proportions. Here, it chose a textured taper that reduces excess weight around the sides while keeping natural wave and movement through the top.
