Type of change
Cut
Visible length
Short

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

Ask your stylist

Ask for a short tapered cut with enough length on top to sweep to one side. Follow the natural part and agree on how much side weight to retain; a shaved part is optional.

Your routine

A comb and light hold can define the part; the tapered outline needs reshaping as it grows.

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?
