Taper Fade
A gradual taper at the edges rather than a fade up the side.
- Cut again
- 3 to 5 weeks
- Upkeep
- Low upkeep
- Length
- Medium
A taper shortens the hair gradually around the hairline and neckline without taking the sides down to skin. The result is a tidy outline that keeps the overall shape of the haircut intact.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a clean look with the longest possible time between cuts
- Growing hair out while keeping the edges neat
- First time in a barber's chair, since it is a small change
Styling it
- Good choice if you are between styles or growing your hair out.
- Ask for the taper around the ears and neck only, if you want to keep bulk on the sides.
As it grows out
The most forgiving option here. It grows out evenly and still looks intentional at four or five weeks.
