For cantilevered slabs in PT flat plate construction, do you use harped tendon profile or parabolic profile in the cantilever?

1/2 of a reverse parabola from the high point to the mid depth of the slab.

I have been told to use a straight tendon in short cantilevers (as in balconies) so that water will not run back into the building if there is a resultant camber in the cantilever.
