Low taper fade with a wavy textured crop
Soft waves fall forward into a short crop, with grey strands and fullness through the sides. The temple and nape views help show where the taper meets that fuller shape.
What to ask your barber
I would like a low taper at the temples and nape, retaining the fuller hair above it. Keep the wavy crop falling forward with a soft, broken fringe. 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 hair in the direction you want it to sit, keeping the fringe and crown under control.
- Keep the natural bends: use your fingers to separate the waves, with a light cream or texture spray if useful.
- Start with less product and add only where needed. The tapered edges need little styling; focus on the top.
