Short

Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.

Ask your stylist

Ask for an even close crop with a gentle taper at the temples and neckline. Agree on the shortest length first and retain the natural hairline.

Your routine

Minimal daily shaping, with regular clipper upkeep if you want to retain a close outline.

Agree before starting

  • What length and outline should we aim for when my hair is dry?
  • How should we adapt this shape to my texture, density and growth patterns?
  • What should stay the same? Confirm any change to color, texture or overall length.
  • What daily styling, salon upkeep and cost should I expect?
