Sides and back: taper fade. Start close (#0.5–#1) at the neckline and above the ears, blend up gradually to #3. Top: leave 1.5–2 inches, scissor-cut and lightly textured. Blend: soft and natural, no hard line. Finish: clean taper at the neckline, natural parting.
साइड और पीछे: टेपर फेड। गर्दन और कानों के पास मशीन #0.5–#1 से शुरू करें, ऊपर की ओर धीरे-धीरे #3 तक ब्लेंड करें। ऊपर: 1.5–2 इंच बाल रखें, कैंची से काटें और हल्का टेक्सचर दें। ब्लेंड: नरम और नेचुरल, कोई सख्त लाइन नहीं। फ़िनिश: गर्दन पर साफ़ टेपर, नेचुरल मांग।
It works best on straight, wavy, curly and coily hair. You need about 2 cm (0.8 inches) of hair on top for the barber to cut it. The quickest way to know is to preview a taper fade on your own photo before the cut.
