About the Curly Tapered Cut
Cut & Silhouette: Description: Short, high-contrast curly pixie with a high fade/undercut on the sides and back, and a voluminous curly top. Key Details: The sides and back feature a high fade/undercut, creating a strong disconnect with the longer, layered curly top. Layering on top enhances curl definition and volume. Ear coverage: above-ear (ears fully exposed). Sideburns: clipped very short, to skin, above the tragus. Nape/neckline: Tapered to skin, following the high fade line. Length: Overall: Top curls approximately 2.5–3.5 in (6.5–9 cm) in their natural, styled state. Front: Fringe curls approximately 1.5–2 in (4–5 cm), sitting above the eyebrows. Sides: Faded from ~0.5 in (1.5 cm) at the top of the fade to skin at the ear line/temple. Back/Nape: Matches sides with a high fade/undercut, tapering to skin at the neckline. Central back length: Not visible. Fringe: Front curls as described above, irregular in length due to curl pattern. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: Short, irregular curly fringe across the forehead, blending into the top curls. Parting: No distinct part; curls styled forward and upward. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Curly (Type 3B), with defined, tight spirals. Styled Finish: Well-defined, hydrated curls with a natural sheen and minimal frizz. Suggests a curl-defining cream or gel. Hold level 2/5 (light to medium hold). Volume & Density: Description: High volume at the top from the standing curls, contrasting sharply with the flat, very short faded sides. Thickness: Medium to thick; dense curl coverage on top. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral-cool tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Fine, subtle warm blonde/caramel highlights distributed throughout the top curls, adding dimension.
