Mid Taper for Straight Hair
Straight hair shows a clean taper very well. The main job is adding texture and volume to the top so the cut does not look flat.
Why a mid taper works on straight hair
Straight hair shows the clean lines of a taper clearly. A mid taper gives shape on the sides and lets you keep a longer top for styling.
Best top styles
- Textured fringe. See mid taper with textured fringe.
- Textured crop. See textured crop haircut.
- Blowout or quiff. See mid taper blowout.
- Side part for a neat look.
Adding texture and volume
Ask your barber to texturize the top. At home use texture powder for straight hair or a light paste at the roots.
Keep it fresh
Trim every 3 to 4 weeks so the taper stays clean. See the mid taper guide.
