Mid taper with a soft coily fauxhawk
A soft broad coily fauxhawk with a rounded raised central strip and gradually shorter retained side coils, no shaved stripe, localized mid temple taper and compact tail. 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 mid taper at the temples and nape, retaining the fuller hair above it. Keep the raised soft coily crest and shorter retained side coils. Before cutting, let’s agree whether the shortest edges show skin or visible hair, and choose a finish I can maintain at home.

- Apply a small amount of curl cream, foam or gel to damp hair as directed for your usual routine.
- Encourage the natural curl groups with your fingers rather than brushing the dry pattern out.
- Air-dry or use gentle diffuser heat and airflow, then make small adjustments to the dry outline.
