- Dense coarse afro texture
What it is
Here the temple is taken down to skin and carried into a beard that has been shaped along the same line, so the cut and the facial hair read as one continuous piece of work. Above the fade the hair stays long and rounded, holding a full afro shape that widens toward the back. The connection point sits just in front of the ear, and the shadow between skin and hair is smooth with no visible step. Everything hangs on that one blend.
Who it suits
Made for anyone who wears a full beard and wants the hairline and jawline to agree with each other. Dense, coarse afro-textured hair carries the volume best. It flatters a broader face by pulling height upward, and it suits men who want something grown and grown-up rather than cropped short.
How to ask for it
Request a bald temple fade connected into the beard, starting the fade at the temple corner and running it no higher than the recede point. Skin at the temple, opening into a 1 and 2 behind the ear. Ask for the top left long and rounded off with shears, and have the cheek line squared to match the temple line.
Upkeep
Every two weeks for the fade and beard line together, since they age at the same rate. Beard oil daily, and leave-in on the top so the afro stays soft and picks out evenly.
