Low taper with a high Afro puff
Long tightly coiled hair gathered into one broad high Afro puff at crown, fluffy round puff with visible stretched roots and tiny low 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 enough coily length for a broad high puff. 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.
