Mid Taper Fade

A balanced taper that starts higher than a low taper, giving more contrast while staying wearable.

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • Mid tapers suit people who want more contrast than a low taper.
  • The blend should still leave shape above the ear.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Refresh every 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Keep the top shaped so the higher blend does not look bulky.
  • Use a matte finish for a clean modern look.
