  1. 1

    Keep the top long and only taper the sideburn and neckline.

  2. 2

    Do not cut high into the longer side shape.

  3. 3

    Clean the perimeter but keep the haircut soft.

  4. 4

    Blend the taper into the longer hair without a hard step.

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

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The longer the top, the more important the transition area becomes.
  • The intended outcome trims the shape without removing the style's flow.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Trim the taper more often than the long top.
  • Use lightweight cream to keep flow without stiffness.
  • Book shape trims when the top starts falling unevenly.
