Low taper with small Bantu knots
Six small sculpted Bantu knots across top made from coiled sections, irregular realistic scalp divisions, tiny temple taper and retained short hair around ear, no braids or jewellery. Compare the front, both side references and rear view to discuss the outline with your barber.
What to ask your barber
I would like a low taper at the temples and nape, retaining the fuller hair above it. Keep the small Bantu knot arrangement and natural scalp sections. Before cutting, let’s agree whether the shortest edges show skin or visible hair, and choose a finish I can maintain at home.

- Refresh the existing twists or knots gently, keeping the sections you want to preserve.
- Use a small amount of leave-in or styling product appropriate to your own texture and follow its directions.
- Once dry, adjust the silhouette without repeatedly pulling the sections apart or tightening the roots.
