Description

This hairstyle preserves and emphasizes the unique texture and volume of Afro hair on the top of the head, while the gradually shortening sides give the entire look a clean and modern appearance. The top section can be left in various lengths depending on preference – from a shorter version to a more prominent style with longer hair. The transition starts at ear level (specifically from 0mm on this hairstyle) and blends very quickly from there into longer hair. Precise lines around the forehead and temples give the haircut sharpness and cleanliness.

Who is it for?

Ideal for men with afro hair seeking a clean, low-maintenance urban style. A taper fade is great for those who prefer a fuller profile over fully shaved sides. The sharp line-up at the temples adds instant freshness. It requires a lineup clean-up every 2 weeks.
