Low Taper Fade for Curly Hair

A low temple and neckline taper that keeps the sides clean while leaving enough curl height on top to show natural shape.

Texture labels organize the catalogue; they are not a suitability prediction.

Will this work for me?

What you could discuss

These are editable prompts, not exact instructions or a substitute for an in-person consultation.

  1. 1

    I want a low taper fade, not a full skin fade.

  2. 2

    Keep the curls on top around 2 to 3 inches.

  3. 3

    Start the taper just above the ear and keep the blend soft.

  4. 4

    Clean the neckline with a natural taper.

Add current length, routine, and keep/avoid outcomes in the full builder.

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The intended shape preserves curl weight above the parietal ridge.
  • Ask for scissor work on top if your curls shrink unevenly.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Refresh the taper every 2 to 3 weeks.
  • Use curl cream on damp hair, then dry without rough towel friction.
  • Avoid over-washing if your curls dry out quickly.
