Classic Taper

Jul 12

THE CUT

Downtown cool comes easy with this wear-it-your-way men’s cut. Versatile and never boring, this look is a medium length hairstyle that can look conservative and professional for work, or contemporary and casual after hours.

Today’s casual taper ranks high among the most stylish of men’s haircuts by pairing tight sides with long layers on top. Complementary on all face shapes, this cut can be customized to flatter your look and fit your styling preferences. It can be quickly styled for daily wear or made into more statement-worthy look like a pompadour with the right styling products.

The taper is well suited for mens hair that has some natural texture or wave, but it looks great on fine and straight hair, especially when texture is created with a razor or shears.

THE STYLING

Apply MITCH Barber's Classic Pomade to towel-dried hair, then blow dry using a brush or just your fingers to scrunch and lift hair away from the roots. Finish by rubbing a pea-size amont of DESIGNLINE FOR MEN Matte Pomade between palms, then running fingers through hair, tousling and scrunching into place.

For a second look, apply Paul Mitchell Quick Slip to towel-dried hair. Make a strong part and comb hair back and to the side with a fine tooth comb. Let air dry.
