What it is

Dense coils are cut into a smooth rounded cap that follows the curve of the skull and sits perfectly even from front to crown. The sides drop into a mid fade with a long, gradual blend that starts at the temple and clears to skin around the ear and along the back. A crisp squared line-up defines the front corner, and the beard is faded into the same graduation so the transition never breaks at the sideburn.

Who it suits

Made for thick coily hair that can be cut down evenly into a shape. The rounded cap softens a broad head and the mid fade balances width at the jaw. A dependable choice for anyone who wants a clean, professional-looking cut with texture still visible, and it holds its outline for a couple of weeks.

How to ask for it

Ask for the top cut round at about an inch, level and even, with a mid fade opening at a 1 by the temple and taken to skin around the ear and nape. Request a squared hard line at the front hairline and the beard blended into the fade at the sideburn.

Upkeep

Every two weeks keeps the round shape true and the fade smooth. Wash and deep condition weekly, then brush the coils flat while they are still damp so the cap settles evenly all the way round.
