Dramatic
Pure Dramatic
Extreme type, 100% manifestation of Yang, the direct opposite of the Pure Romantic. No curves or curls at all. Only smooth, long, narrow lines and sharp angles.
Bright eyes, expressive facial features, and straight body lines: the appearance of the Pure Dramatic always attracts attention, its look commands respect, which is why David Kibbe rightly called this type the “Regal Lady.”

Body Line
The Pure Dramatic figure is long, narrow, straight, angular, and toned, with a physically developed body. The chest is flat or firm. The hips are usually narrow, firm, slim, and muscular; they gain weight along with the waist, unlike the chest, where excess weight does not accumulate.
When gaining weight, the Pure Dramatic body becomes heavy from the waist down, with little difference between the chest, waist, and hips.

Hairstyle
Hair of Pure Dramatics can be either straight and silky or very curly, “wild.” However, for styling, it’s best to choose a sculptural shape; smooth, elegantly styled, long, and well-groomed hair suits you like no one else.
An asymmetrical parting or a sleek style will help reveal the full beauty of the Pure Dramatic’s chiseled face.
A clear geometric shape with straight, sharp edges is preferred for the haircut.
Hair length ranges from medium to long.
