Tapered Natural Cut
A tapered natural cut keeps about five centimetres of coils on top, shaped into a soft rounded crown, and tapers the sides and nape gradually shorter, with no hard line. It is also called a tapered afro. It suits 4a to 4c hair and takes five to ten minutes with a leave-in.
- Short
- Coily
- Medium
The taper keeps the outline neat while the coils on top stay full and defined. It is cut on dry hair, following the coil pattern. The taper needs refreshing every three to four weeks; the top can grow for longer.
Who suits a Tapered Natural Cut?
