What makes a great taper fade
A taper fade keeps length through the sides and tightens only at the sideburns and the nape. It is the cut that reads clean in a boardroom on Monday and still looks intentional three weeks later.
The craft is in the weight line: how much hair is left through the side, and how smoothly it drops away at the bottom. Done well, nobody can tell where the clipper work ends.
It is the most forgiving fade to grow out, which is why it is the default for clients who cannot get in every fortnight.
What to ask for
- Ask for a taper rather than a fade if you want to keep length over the ear.
- Say whether you want the nape squared or tapered into the skin.
- Ask the barber to leave a little weight if you are stretching to four weeks.
A taper holds its shape for three to four weeks.
