Low Taper Hairstyle for men
A clean low taper haircut where the tapering starts just above the ears and neckline, leaving more length on the sides than a fade. The top is 3-4 inches long, styled naturally with a slight side part and light texture. The taper is gradual and subtle, blending smoothly from the longer top to shorter sides. The sideburns taper to a point. A versatile, universally flattering barbershop cut that looks polished without being dramatic.
