What it is
This one is combed to the side over a carved hard part, with the top laid flat and glossy and the length running back over the crown. A clean mid taper starts under the part line and works down around the ear into a tight nape, so the sides stay short between cuts. The part itself is razored in as a single straight channel from the front hairline back past the crown, giving the comb over a defined starting point.
Who it suits
A good choice for straight, fine to medium hair that lies down without a fight. It holds up through a school week and looks tidy for photos or events without needing much product. The hard part gives shape to hair that would otherwise fall flat, and the tapered sides keep the neck comfortable in warm weather.
How to ask for it
Ask the barber for a side part cut with a razored hard part, top left about two inches and scissor-cut to comb over. Request a taper starting just below the part line, a 1 around the ear blending up to a 3, and the neckline tapered rather than blocked.
Upkeep
Plan a cut every three to four weeks so the part stays crisp. A pea of light pomade on damp hair, combed to the side, is all it needs in the morning.
