High taper with a wavy micro fringe
An unusually short wavy crop with a tiny broken uneven fringe well above forehead, distinct shallow ripples and flatter crown, localized high temple taper with retained side hair. 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 high taper at the temples and nape, retaining the fuller hair above it. Keep the shallow wavy crop and tiny 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.

- Set the fringe or top in the direction shown while the hair is damp.
- Dry gently, then work a small amount of light paste or cream through the retained length if useful.
- Adjust the dry shape with your fingers and keep product off the very short edges.
