Low taper with long parted curtains
Long dark straight curtains reaching cheekbone level at front, pronounced centre part, long flat sides tucked behind ears, a tiny neat temple and bottom nape 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 long centre-parted curtains and softer tucked sides. Before cutting, let’s agree whether the shortest edges show skin or visible hair, and choose a finish I can maintain at home.

- Set the parting or side direction while the hair is damp, following its natural fall.
- Dry gently in that direction, preserving movement through the retained top.
- Add a little light cream or paste if useful, then separate the hair without flattening the whole shape.
