How the mid taper textured fringe is built
Side
Back
Original TaperMode diagram, not a photo. The orange line marks where the blend starts; dark to light shows longer hair getting shorter.
Shows weight lines where the taper meets the fringe; ask for the blend to be checked dry.
Wavy hair
Gives the fringe natural texture; a little texture powder separates it.
Thick hair
Needs weight removed inside the fringe, or it can look like a helmet over tight sides.
How it grows out
Week 1
Sharp sides, fringe sitting where it was cut.
Weeks 2–3
The taper softens and the sides start to look bulky next to the fringe.
Weeks 3–4
Refresh the taper; the fringe may only need a light trim.
Week 5 and on
The fringe drops into the eyes and the shape turns into a longer crop.
Based on average growth of about 1 to 1.25 cm a month. Yours may be faster or slower.

What you could discuss
These are editable prompts, not exact instructions or a substitute for an in-person consultation.
1
Use Mid Taper Textured Fringe as the starting reference.
2
Use a mid taper that gives contrast but does not climb into the fringe weight.
3
Keep the fringe textured and forward with enough density to style.
4
Please adjust the finish after checking my current length, density, and growth pattern.
Add current length, routine, and keep/avoid outcomes in the full builder.
