A NEW POSSIBILITY
Tapered natural cut
A rounded top keeps small, defined coils visible while the temples and nape taper close. The profile shows how quickly the length changes.
- Talk to your stylist about
- Use the profile to show the taper height and discuss the top length you want once the coils are dry.
- Living with the look
- Ask how the difference in length will look as your coils grow out.
- A helpful reality check
- A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.
What defines Tapered natural cut?
A tapered natural cut keeps small coils full at the crown and gradually shortens them at the temples and nape.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Compare the width at the temple with the rounded top. In profile, find where the taper starts and use the rear view to check the lowest edge.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show how much height to keep after the coils dry and how high the short areas can rise. Discuss the outline you want as the taper grows.
