Mid taper with side-falling curls
Long loose spiral curls swept entirely to one side into an asymmetric side-falling fringe, flat opposite crown side and full curled side shape, localized mid temple taper. 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 longer spiral curls falling to one side. 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.
