How it is cut
- Works best when the barber preserves curl weight above the parietal ridge.
- Ask for scissor work on top if your curls shrink unevenly.
Maintenance tips
- Refresh the taper every 2 to 3 weeks.
- Use curl cream on damp hair, then dry without rough towel friction.
- Avoid over-washing if your curls dry out quickly.
