Where do you start a low taper?

01 July 2024 | By Sheeza

To start a low taper, begin just above the ears, where the hairline meets the sideburns. Use a clipper with a guard to gradually reduce the hair length, moving downward and blending seamlessly into the shorter hair at the nape of the neck. The goal is to create a smooth, gradual transition from longer hair on top to shorter hair at the base. Pay close attention to the curvature of the head to ensure an even fade on both sides. For a clean finish, use a trimmer to define the edges and remove any stray hairs, giving the taper a polished and professional appearance. Regular touch-ups will help maintain the sharpness of the low taper.
