The classic taper haircut is a low-maintenance, high-performance style that’s classic and timeless. It’s easy to get, and you can modify it to your personal style. It’s one of those styles for men that simply can’t go wrong.It works well with all face shapes and hair types, and it strikes the balance between casual and professional. If you’re in need of a tidy haircut for your job or simply want a polished style, the classic taper haircut is for you. What do I need for the classic taper haircut? Since the classic taper haircut is a flexible style, you can tweak it to your liking. Because of that, there are no set requirements for hair length. Shorter hair will give a more professional, classic appearance, while longer hair will give a more contemporary appearance and will almost look like a quiff in some regards. The length is completely up to you. How to Get the Classic Taper Haircut In many ways, the classic taper haircut is like the disconnected undercut. The hair on the sides and back is tapered quite short while the hair on top is left long. However, the classic taper haircut is more old-school and formal. You’ll first want to tell your stylist how long you want your hair to be. While it’s up to your liking, a good starting point is two inches on top. To get the classic taper haircut, start by tapering the sides and the back. (Make sure you tell your stylist how gradual you want the taper to be.) Your stylist may use shears or a hair clipper to achieve the taper. The clipper setting can be as short as #2 or as long as #5, depending on your preference. You can also specify where you want the taper to end. If you prefer a long taper that ends at the base of the neck, then the clippers should provide a good result. However, if you like a shorter taper that ends more near the bottom of the ears, ask your stylist to end the taper there. It’s possible they will use a straight razor to eliminate all the hair below the taper’s end. If you like this clean-cut look, make sure to ask for the razor trim as well. Next, ask your stylist to trim the hair on top of your head to your desired length. This can be anywhere from half an inch to four inches. Your stylist will most likely use scissors for this. How to Style the Classic Taper Haircut The classic taper haircut can be styled in tons of different ways, so choose a style that suits you. That said, there are a couple of elements that always work well with a classic taper haircut. You can’t go wrong with a side part. A part used in conjunction with a classic taper haircut is a winning combination, especially if the part is dramatic. You’ll also want to consider some good-quality hair products to keep your taper at its best. For shorter hair, any regular wax, paste, pomade, or similar product will work. For longer hair, consider a product with a higher hold. Pomade or paste are ideal if you want your hair to have a glossy shine. From Haircut Inspiration

Step By Step
Classic French Roll Hair by Kyle David Malone 1. For the classic variation of the French Roll, follow these steps below – extracted from wikihow.com 2. Begin by directing your hair to one side and securing it with bobby pins the way they are stacked in this image. 3. Next, hold the hair in the palm of your hand and begin to twist the hair up towards the top of your head. Twist the hair tight so that it is secure. Once the hair is twisted tight it will coil and form the roll. 4. Depending on the length of your hair, you may have long ends that are left beyond the twisting. If this is the case with your hair, simply fold those ends down and tuck them underneath the roll. 5. Once you have tucked the ends, you can take some hairpins and use them to secure the roll into place. To secure tightly, take the hairpin and place it horizontally on the edge of the roll. Place the ends of the hairpin through the roll towards the left ear, and then rotate the pins back in the direction of the right ear. This will secure the roll tightly to ensure it stays all night. Use hairspray if you prefer a bit of hold. 6. When you are finished, you can add a bow, broach, some pearls, or an accessory to decorate the hair if you prefer. To see more of our hair accessory inspirations, click HERE. Modern French Roll 1. For the Modern French Roll, the technique is somewhat similar, but it is created a little bit quicker because you just begin by twisting the hair. You do not have to pin the hair first. In addition to that, the hair is more about the texture and less about a smoother finish. Allow bits to drop out and you can even rough it up a bit when you have secured everything into place. Take a peek at the steps below from @twistmepretty. Whether you are going for the classic roll or the modern roll, you can detail and finish your hair to your preference. See another version below for shorter hair length where there is no length to roll. This super glamorous style will work with jeans and a blazer or a nice cocktail dress so it’s a very versatile option for your hair.
Eufora Men’s Team Co-Lead and barber extraordinaire, Dana Caschetta, knows when her clients are starting to feel a little fatigued and is a pro at helping them switch up their personal style. “Even short men’s cuts can be flexible if you know how to craft a smart cut so that the wearer has multiple style options,” says Cashetta. “Most men who visit a salon or barber expect a lot of mileage from their cut, so I focus on the shape of a classic fade. Shape can mean just as much as length and blend… if not more. This is where I can truly customize a look to suit a face shape, head shape, and hair texture. If you want to build in versatility so that your client can create different shapes and styles, then there is no such thing as a ‘basic fade.’ It is always custom, and product choices are key in creating the final looks.” To demonstrate Fade Flexibility, Dana styled different looks all easily do-able for the model at home, post-shoot. Strong Silent Type To create this confident and modern take on the Caesar, HERO Firm Hold Gel was worked through clean, dry hair, then combed through to shape and define the waves, providing super shine without crunch. Killer Casual To show off wave and texture in an effortless manner, Caschetta used a cocktail of HERO Molding Paste and Power Pomade. To avoid unnatural looking hold, Caschetta says to always apply the cocktail to damp hair using fingertips, then gently blow dry with low heat and push the hair in an upward direction. Each style brings a different personality to life. A timely message from the Eufora Men’s Team - anyone can choose to change their mind, mood and attitude if looking for a fresh outlook to emerge!

According to stylists, short hair is making a comeback for spring! IGK Co-Founder Aaron Grenia and R+Co Director of Content Adam Federico are both predicting shorter styles will be a trend this season. While colorist and R+Co Collective Member Richy Kandasamy is predicting cinnamon brown and low-maintenance shades to continue into 2021. See below for their insight and inspiration images they’re looking to this year. The Very Short Bob “I think we’re going to see a lot of short hairstyles, especially very short bobs – under the ears. Something like you see on Mathilda in the movie Léon. I love this look because it has the most effortless cool factor.” – Aaron Grenia The Shift “Specifically, for spring 2021, we’re forecasting a shorter hair comeback. I like to think that the trend will be shorter hair with longer, disconnected lengths through the top including varying lengths and textures. I like to call this haircut the Shift as its ability to have versatile styling options, from something edgy and raw, to extremely polished and sophisticated. The idea with this is that the haircut can be finished to suit the individual’s personality and meet them for who they are within that day. This is a haircut we are also pushing through R+Co again, forecasting trends and the future.” – Adam Federico Cinnamon Brown & Low-Maintenance Shades “I predict that we are going see a lot of sandy and cinnamon browns, and overall, more naturals and low-maintenance shades. We are seeing clients coming in with 6-7 months’ worth of regrowth and the clients want to work with their natural hair. For a lot of clients, this has been a positive reset and they want to embrace their natural hair color or stay as close to their natural color as possible.” – Richy Kandasamy This is from ModernSalon
