    Use a taper fade around the edges and keep the sides natural above it.

  3. 3

    Keep the buzz cut even and check the length before going shorter.

    Please adjust the finish after checking my current length, density, and growth pattern.

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The taper should clean the outline without making the sides look overly exposed.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Brush the top daily so short growth lies evenly.
  • Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
  • Start styling with soft brush, then add more product only where the top needs control.
