Description

This style is characterized by the contrast between short sides and longer hair at the back of the head. The taper fade features a gradual shortening of the hair from the ears, where the length seamlessly blends up to the chosen length on the sides. The mullet, on the other hand, preserves longer hair at the back, which can reach down to the shoulders or lower. The combination of these two techniques creates a distinct, bold look that blends modern precision with a rebellious touch. The hair on the top section of the head is often left longer to create a contrast with the faded sides and allow for various styling variations.

Who is it for?

A favorite of the street fashion and R&B scene for young men wanting a relaxed, naturally textured style. A perfect choice for wavy or manageable hair, giving it natural volume. It beautifully balances long, oval, or diamond faces, looking very fresh due to the clean-shaved sideburns.
