From the same point of view, money piece highlight and skunk stripe hair are concentrated on the sides of the cheeks. By highlighting this part of the hair and color contrast, it creates a sense of style.

The money piece highlight area will be less highlighted, but the layering will be noticeable, even all over the hair. There will be noticeably more hair on the sides of the cheeks than the other areas, but this amount is much less than the skunk stripe hair. Because money piece was originally named because it can save time and money, save time and effort. The skunk stripe hair highlights more areas and is as thick as a skunk's tail, hence the name.
