Neck Taper

Category: lifestyle

The gradual fading of the hair at the nape of the neck down to the skin line.

A neck taper replaces a hard, blocked neckline boundary. Because it blends gradually into the skin, a tapered neckline looks clean for longer as it grows back out, making it an excellent baseline choice for natural, professional short haircuts.

Common Examples

• The client opted for a low neck taper to ensure their short corporate cut maintained a soft, natural edge profile as it aged.
• A clean neck taper requires adjusting your clipper blade handle settings to blend the lowest lines into the skin surface cleanly.
