Low taper with a layered wavy shag
A medium layered wavy shag with separated feathered wings at sides, wispy swept curtain fringe, soft low temple taper and neat bottom nape edge, no skin sides. 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 layered shag, feathered sides and soft curtain 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 layers with your fingers so the side and rear movement can settle naturally.
- Work a small amount of light texture cream or paste through the longer layers.
- Adjust the ends when dry, preserving the length and movement that distinguish the layered shape.
