mid taper · wavy hair
Mid taper fade with a wavy textured fringe
Separated waves fall towards the forehead to form a textured fringe. The fuller side shape connects the top to the temple transition; the rear view shows how the shape meets the nape.
What to ask your barber
I would like a mid taper at the temples and nape, retaining the fuller hair above it. Keep the waves directed forward into a separated 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.
