The taper is clipper or scissor work that shortens the hair gradually as it travels down and around, so there is no hard line, only a fade of density. On top the coils stay long enough to clump and show their pattern. Because the sides are close, the head reads narrower and the top reads taller than a round afro of the same length. It is a precise shape and it loses its edges quickly.
- Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. Removing bulk at the sides while keeping height on top lengthens the head shape, which offsets width across the cheeks and the jaw.
- Hair typecoily, curly, fine, medium density. Works at any coil density including fine hair, because the shape comes from the cut rather than from volume.
- UpkeepEvery three to four weeks, since the taper blurs fast, plus a curl cream on the top section to keep the coils clumped.
- Ask forAsk for a tapered TWA, the top kept long enough to define, tapered from the temples down with no visible line.
