How to Style Low Tapered Afro

Step 1: Start out with clean and towel dried hair. Make sure your hairdresser cuts the sides as much as you’d prefer. Never cut them on your own because there is a slim chance that you can get both parts even.

Step 2: Low taper fade cuts on afro look the best once paired up with a drop, box, edge, or bald fade, so make sure you choose the one which suits you and your personal style the most.

Step 3: Once your sides are cut and professionally styled it is time for the top portion of your hair. Moisturize your middle curls while using a curl-enhancing gel to keep your curls in place.

Step 4: Finish the look by going for frizzy or tamed down curls. Redo your hair every 3-4 days once your curls lose their pattern, or when they become oily.
