What is a normal taper?

01 July 2024 | By Sheeza

A normal taper haircut, often referred to as a classic taper, involves gradually shortening the length of hair from the top of the head down to the nape of the neck and the sides. This technique creates a smooth transition from longer hair on top to shorter hair around the sides and back, resulting in a clean, polished look. The hair at the top is usually left longer and can be styled in various ways, while the sides and back are tapered, often with the use of clippers. This versatile haircut suits a wide range of hair types and face shapes, offering a timeless and professional appearance.
