Low taper with a half-up tied mullet
A distinctive medium wavy mullet with upper crown tied into a small half-up knot while a loose longer wavy tail remains at nape, localized tiny temple taper. Longer or tied hair partly obscures the neckline; agree the rear finish separately with your barber. 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 half-up crown knot and loose longer wavy tail. Before cutting, let’s agree whether the shortest edges show skin or visible hair, and choose a finish I can maintain at home.

- Dry the layers with your fingers so the side and rear movement can settle naturally.
- Work a small amount of light texture cream or paste through the longer layers.
- Adjust the ends when dry, preserving the length and movement that distinguish the layered shape.
