How it is cut
- The taper should clean the side profile without flattening natural curl volume.
- The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.
Maintenance tips
- Diffuse curls upward and avoid rough towel drying after washing.
- Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
- Start styling with curl cream, then add more product only where the top needs control.
