  1. 1

    Use Low Taper Burst Fade as the starting reference.

  2. 2

    Blend a low taper into a small burst around the ear.

  3. 3

    Keep the top natural and avoid cutting the back into a full mullet unless I ask.

  4. 4

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

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • This should look cleaner than a regular low taper but softer than a full burst fade.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Clean the sideburns and ear curve before the lower taper disappears.
  • 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.
