Tapered natural hair makes a bold fashion statement and showcases modern chicness. This adorable haircut features a high tapered fade with curving lines to frame the face before falling to frame the sides and forehead for maximum impact.
Twist-outs
Add color to a short tapered natural hair cut for an unexpected pop. This dark brown shade adds depth and dimension, as it defines curls while accentuating slim facial features. A slight side trim combined with a hydrating wash and go is the ideal combination for busy women looking for an easy way to transition from office to night out with curly friends or special events quickly and stylishly. Additionally, this hairstyle creates the ideal foundation for creating finger coils, faux hawks or twist out styles later.
Donning Dyed Curls
Donning dyed curls takes your classic tapered pixie haircut one step further and is an excellent way to highlight black women’s beautiful curls. Try this deep purple hue as an alternative color option when styling this style!
Red Hair
There are various ways you can wear your natural hair, and one such way is through tapered styling. Curly locks look particularly striking with this trend; but more length up top can look just as lovely when styled using finger coils, Bantu knots or blowouts. Burgundy adds a striking pop of color to black hair, making this combination truly stunning. This hairstyle features a high gradual fade with graffiti artistry on the sides and an intricate temple design; and short natural curls throughout for an easy modern style to maintain. It makes an eye-catching statement!
Shaved Designs
Add a trendy flair to your tapered hairstyle by incorporating shaved designs. A simple zig-zag pattern stands out, while you could also incorporate flowers, animals or geometric designs. A fade with this kind of patterned design will help your tapered natural hair stand out in any crowd! Shaved designs can be an effective way to add color without adding length to your curls. For instance, if you have a short tapered haircut with finger coils, try dyeing them a soft burgundy hue for an eye-catching modern look that will elevate any ensemble. An upswept hairstyle, like this high tapered mohawk, can make an excellent statement in front of a narrow facial structure. Featuring tapered fades at the sides and back with coily coils at the crown.
Ombre
A tapered haircut is ideal for women looking to spend less time on styling their hair. Unlike fade cuts, taper haircuts offer gradual length changes with longer top layers remaining uncut. It looks sleek and polished – an excellent choice for any special event or social gathering. If you want to add a splash of color to your tapered natural hairstyle, an ombre look with an etched design could be just what’s needed to stand out from the crowd and grab attention. Surely this look will stand out?
Flexi-Rods
Flexi-rods are foam hair rollers that bend to create curls, making this style suitable for tapered natural hair because it creates sleek spirals without heat. When applying this style to tapered natural locks it is best to use smaller rods for tighter coils while bigger rods should be used for looser coils. Molding pomade is an ideal way to give your strands the style and sophistication they deserve, while adding some fun shaved designs on the crown can also add flair. AskpRoy offers an excellent tutorial on creating the faux tapered look, while TwinGoddesses shows how to achieve similar styles using flexi-rods and bobby pins. Both styles are straightforward yet incredibly stylish; just be sure to sleep in them so they have enough time to set.
Wine Color
One of the advantages of short hair is how easy it is to dye and maintain. Don’t be intimidated to explore bolder colors like vibrant turquoise or warm hot pink! Black women often spend thousands on hair relaxers and weaves, yet can still look stunning with tapered natural hair styles that require no maintenance – something all African American women will appreciate. This tapered hairstyle features a fade and etched lines for an eye-catching, unique style. Try coloring your locks a subtle burgundy hue for added dimension!
