A low taper with a subtle shaved design near the temple; the design requires precise clipper control.

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

What you could discuss

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

  1. 1

    Keep the taper low and add one clean design line near the temple.

  2. 2

    Make the design subtle, not too high or too wide.

  3. 3

    Keep the top natural and balanced.

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

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • Simple design lines age better than crowded patterns.
  • The design should sit inside the faded area, not cut into the top.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Shaved design lines become less distinct as the hair grows.
  • Avoid trying to recut the line at home.
  • Book a quick touch-up before events.
