- Full coily hair with natural volume
What it is
The top is left full and shaped into a soft round, with a taper on the sides that starts just above the ear and blends up into the length. The front is lined lightly with a squared corner at the temple, and the back stays fuller rather than being cut in tight. It keeps the natural volume of the hair while giving the outline enough shape that it reads as a proper haircut.
Who it suits
A comfortable option for kids with coily hair who want to keep some length without the daily fuss of a longer afro. The taper keeps the ears and neck clear for school and sports, and the rounded top means an occasional pick is all the styling needed.
How to ask for it
Ask for a taper on the sides, a 1 at the bottom opening to a 2 and blended into the top, with the fade line kept low and just above the ear. Have the top shaped round with scissors and left full at the back. Request a light square line-up at the front, nothing severe.
Upkeep
Leave-in conditioner and a wide pick after bath time, then a satin cap at night. Every four weeks holds the round shape; between cuts it simply gets fuller, not messier.
