If you're sporting wavy hair, it can be difficult to choose between slicking your hair into a tight, structured style or letting it move freely in a textured, natural flow. . This wavy textured cut with a low taper by UCDC barber Ben Boyer enhances the natural flow of wavy hair and adds texture to a modern, cohesive style.
Low tapers are becoming increasingly popular with the tried-and-true “short back and sides.” This cut combines tight lines and soft transitions along the neckline and temples, but maintains weight throughout the midsection to draw the eye and emphasize the heavy texture of the top, making it look effortless. Achieve a beautiful appearance.
Since the low taper is a basic style, your local barber shop will definitely do it for you. The key to making this style successful is the heavy texture on the top. Start by removing a little of the top and add some texture with a feather razor or thin scissors. Remember, if you want your hair a little shorter, you can always take more hair out. Styles have been adjusted. Grab a bottle of control cream and fix your finished style. “Control creams can help enhance longer textured styles by creating a weightless, effortless finish,” says Ben. “Maximizes volume without putting stress on your hair, giving you a natural finish without putting anything on.”
How to style a wavy texture
You can easily achieve this style at home using a control cream. For best results, apply to freshly washed hair for a healthy-looking finish. Take a few pumps of control cream and spread it evenly between your hands for even coverage before applying to damp hair. Once applied, apply heat with a blow dryer to gently activate the control cream and add volume. Use your fingertips to pinch and cut out sections to create a textured finish.
What is control cream?
