What it is
A short, easy cut with the top kept close and brushed into a light wave pattern that follows the grain around the head. The sides run into a low taper that stays soft around the ear and blends down to the nape without a hard line. A clean shape-up squares the front hairline and the temple corner. Nothing here needs product or morning styling.
Who it suits
A dependable school-and-sports cut for coily hair that's kept short. It works well for a child who won't sit long for detail work, since the taper is quick and forgiving, and it grows out evenly instead of leaving a visible line. Good for anyone who wants tidy without going bald on the sides.
How to ask for it
Ask your barber for a 1 on top with the grain, tapered down to a 0.5 around the ear and at the nape, kept low so nothing shows above the temple. Request a light shape-up at the front hairline with a square corner. Ask them to keep the taper soft rather than bald.
Upkeep
Three weeks between visits. A soft brush and a little moisturiser in the morning keeps the pattern going; a durag or bonnet at night helps but isn't required.
