What to tell your barber
Use this script for a low taper fade with long hair, then show the generated reference image.
- 1
"Keep the top long and only taper the sideburn and neckline."
- 2
"Do not cut high into the longer side shape."
- 3
"Clean the perimeter but keep the haircut soft."
- 4
"Blend the taper into the longer hair without a hard step."
How it is cut
- The longer the top, the more important the transition area becomes.
- This works best when the barber trims shape without removing the style's flow.
Maintenance tips
- Trim the taper more often than the long top.
- Use lightweight cream to keep flow without stiffness.
- Book shape trims when the top starts falling unevenly.
