Tapered Afro
This stylish hairstyle features a tightly coiled, voluminous Afro texture with a tapered neckline and slightly longer hair on top. The closely cropped sides create an edgy, modern silhouette while the fuller, natural curls on top add depth and dimension. This versatile style can be worn neat and structured or with a more relaxed, free-flowing look, making it suitable for both casual and semi-formal occasions.
To style this tapered Afro, start by shampooing and conditioning the hair to maintain its natural, coily texture. Apply a small amount of curl-defining cream or gel to damp hair, gently separating and defining the curls with your fingers. Use a wide-tooth comb or pick to lift and volumize the hair at the crown, creating the desired Afro shape. For the tapered sides, use sharp shears or clippers to trim the hair short, blending the length into the longer top section. Finish by applying a light hold styling product, such as a pomade or wax, to help control frizz and maintain the style throughout the day.
